Prayer for dads

Lord, You are mighty to save. I have a friend who is drinking again. I do not know how his marriage is holding together. I do not know what to say next. Show Yourself mighty in his life. I am not asking for a clean story to tell. I am asking for the quiet mercy of a man who comes back. Use me as an honest neighbor while I wait. Keep me from preaching at him. Keep me from pretending I do not see. Give me the right sentence at the right moment, the one he can hear without shutting down. And while I pray for him, search me. I have my own bottle to put down. I have my own corner I am not telling anyone about. Be mighty to save him. Be mighty to save me too. Amen.
