My brother in law has a drinking problem but doesn't see it as a problem.. when asked about it he point out that everyone has problems... He has a beautiful wife and baby girl.. afraid of what could happen to them if he continues.. He is very outspoken and quick to challenge anyone one spiritual issues and comes across to others as tho he is one step ahead of them in spiritual growth.. but I fear for his salvation. Please pray for him!

I'll pray for you're BIL and that his drinking will not harm his friends, family, or himself. Praying that the Lord gives him strength! <3

Praying for him in Jesus, for all humilty and healing in this and for his family also.
Remind him that pointing to the failings of others is no defence, does he want his child to use this defence as she grows up?
For she will look to him for all her streangth and wisdom.
Praying also that Jesus will bring you all wisdom and His love needed in this.

God bless

How lovely your heart, child, that you bring your BIL to us for prayer! &#9829;
I know these people do not simply pay lip service to that request: they really pray! :)

I have asked the Lord to intervene; to speak to his heart; to discipline him as a Father does, in love and to teach where we're out of His will.
I ask the Lord to be gracious to his wife and child, that they may live with a Godly man as their head and spiritual covering.

Pickles is really on to something when she speaks of his feelings toward his child...is this the way he'd want her to live? Because he must know children learn what they see much more than what we tell them. :( You can tell him that an old lady who raised 6 kiddos and made way too many mistakes said so!
I will keep your brother-in-law, and you, in prayer, and anticipate the day you'll return with an opportunity for us to praise God for what He's done in this. :)

Agreeing in prayer...
May God surround your BIL with Godly examples of who he should be;
and give him a passion for Jesus!
In Jesus Name, Amen
