Prayers for my Friend and Me

I have a very dear friend who I consider part of my family who is a recovering narcotics addict. She had been clean since march, but went out of town over the weekend and used on Sunday (the day her youngest son died) and was missing till today when we had to go pick her up.

I have only known her since she has been clean, so I am new to being part of a recovering addicts support system. She lives with me and my household, so she has constant access to me which will hopefully help. I will be going to NA meetings with her twice a week starting tomorrow and will do all that I can to get her through this.

When I found out she had used again I completely broke down not out of anger or shame towards her, but in knowing that if her slip was hurting me this bad I could not even imagine what she is going through. I am really relying on God's strength right now to hold both of us up. Please keep us in your prayers and send us strength with God's help I know we can get back on track Smile

Was Sunday the anniversary of his death? How long ago did he pass away?

I'm really sorry to hear about her rough time and yours.

Does she have any surviving family members in the area? Do you have a support group too as you will need help and need others to lean on during this time too.

I will pray for you and your family and friend.

Luv

Hi Key of Twilight, your friend will be in my prayers. You & her will need all the strength you can muster through this very hard trial you are going. Don't forget (I know it may not seem the same but) we are also your family & we love you too. The very nature of this problem, means it will have to be worked out day by day.
Much love bro.,
Nobby

I shall be praying for you both. For her recovery and for your continued strength to aid her. God bless.

Hello Key, I will be praying for God's strength to be with both of you.

I will also be praying that I will be able to share Christ's love like you have towards her, when I am presented with a chance to share God's mercy and comfort.

Your prayer request could also be listed under a devotional.

Well my friend has ran off again this time with one of her ex husbands this time one who uses drugs and is not planning on coming back, so we probably need more prayers now than ever specially for her... Thank you all for the support <3
