I've re-established my faith in our Lord Jesus Christ, and pray for all of you who are struggling with your faith, or to be close with God. I found a great church by the grace of God I am still growing into the Christian I envision myself. I'm also a recovering addict, and alcoholic. I recently found Jesus, and almost certainly came to be closer with him through another recovering addict and alcoholic who attends the same church, and who also attends AA meetings. His name is Stephen. I ask you all to pray he finds peace in the Lord, and is able to recover from his addictions.
Personally, I feel a need to avoid contact with him to some extent because our paths are so different and I'm vulnerable at the moment. The temptations I get while spending time around him are powerful and somewhat self defeating, however my motivation is strong, and I'm doing an amazing job avoiding those - I suppose I want to reach out to him and share the Lord with him (and my heart), but at the same time, his views aren't in accordance with the Christian faith.
If you don't mind could pray for all those who are conflicted with addiction of any nature, that they might improve their futures, and live a life we were intended? My own Dad, Ray was sober for many years (he is born-again), but following a rough divorce and a sort of falling out with myself, as one of the consequences of this, he has become a heavy drinker. Please pray that he finds renewed strength in the Lord to stop drinking again. God bless you all.
