Answered Prayers

This prayer has been answered!

Seth

Please pray for my brother, Nate. He's been battling drug addiction for all of his adult life (20+ years). He continues to try to get clean but the addiction has such a strong grip on his mind, body and soul. I feel only God can help him at this point. This has been a very long and on-going prayer request in my family's life and I wanted to petition additional help from you all. Please help me pray for Nate to beat his addition and to turn his life around. He knows the Lord but from my perspective, he has a weak grip on that relationship. Thanks all!

*UPDATE:

Huge answer to prayer today! Nate checked himself into the Hope Christian Center (hopecenterny.org) up in the Bronx for a 5-9 month rehabilitation program. He came up from PA and stayed with me for the past 2 weeks, where I was able to focus my time and energy into encouraging him to go to this program. With the ultimate help from God and Nate’s heart for change, he accepted and committed to going. This is only the beginning of change but it’s a huge step when someone with an addiction, chooses to go to rehab by their own will.

If I can ask for continued prayer as this phase of recovery is crucial in making a lasting change. It’s easy for him to get bored and sidetracked but with the help of prayer and God’s grace, Nate has a fighting chance. I won’t be able to meet with him for the next 15-30 days but I’ll keep this post updated. I can’t thank you all enough for the prayers!
