Having an alcoholic husband is not something any woman wants to put up with. It is painful, especially dealing with their mess and smell.
Whether for religious reasons or moral, alcohol is not advisable for men. Scripture says do not be drunk with wine but in the spirit of God (Ephesians 5:18) and it also says he that looks at the wine when it is red as an admonition (Proverb 23:31) because if you do so, you are not wise.
So, the scripture doesn’t encourage it. While you may share these few words without expected results, it means it is time to pray for your man to desist from an alcoholic lifestyle. Here are a few prayer points you may pray for him;
- Lord Jesus, you prayed for the people that crucified you. Your prayer was that Father should forgive them for they know not what they are doing. My Lord and Saviour, I stand before you today to pray the same for my husband that you forgive him for this life of alcohol that he has chosen. Lord, he is not aware of the consequences of his actions. Please have mercy on him. Forgive him of all his atrocities due to the alcoholic lifestyle in the name of Jesus. Let your mercy reign in his life in the name of Jesus.
- Lord, I pray that by your mercy please open the eyes of my husband to see the kind life he is living. Let whatever the devil has used to cover his eyes be taken off in the name of Jesus. He thinks he has a life Lord, please show him the true life you have for him and bring him into it at all cost in the name of Jesus. You showed Paul and brought him into it, please do the same for my husband in the name of Jesus.
- Father, I lift my husband up to you in prayers, let him get tired of this lifestyle of alcohol from within in the name of Jesus. Let the will to drink alcohol dry up from within him in the name of Jesus. All by himself, let him come to the realization that the alcoholic lifestyle is of no value to him and grant him the will to leave this lifestyle behind in the name of Jesus. Let his soul be weary of taking alcohol in the name of Jesus. Lord, just refresh him in you and he will be weary of alcoholism in the name of Jesus.
- Father, I pray against every peer influence over dragging my husband into the alcoholic lifestyle in the name of Jesus. Every friend, colleague, or acquaintance bringing my husband into an alcoholic lifestyle is hereby removed from his life in the name of Jesus. I take away the bond that brings them together in the name of Jesus. All sorts of relationships placing my husband in an alcoholic lifestyle are broken in the name of Jesus.
