"LORD, I come in the name of Jesus and I pray, I just pray that you may help this person with his drinking issues, and that you will give him eyes to see and ears to hear, so he may listen to whatever the people may be preaching in your will. LORD, I pray that You'll give him an open heart, and just...help him to receive! In Jesus' name! Receive! LORD pleas help him to receive! thank you, that your word says in Scripture that " ask, and you shall receive, knock, and it will be opened for you" and also " whatever you ask in My name, you shall receive so the Father may be glorified"- Jesus. Thank you LORD for this promise, and thank you for helping this person to stop being ignorant towards what you're trying to tell him! ( " receive Me " ).
I also pray for whatever issues the thread starters friend have, remove them from them and make them just fall in love with You. In Jesus name I pray, amen."
There.
I hope it will go better....I know it will for God is faithful! ^^
