From Chaplain Lynn… 

It really breaks our hearts when we see our friends that have tasted freedom for many years find themselves back in the miry clay of addiction. When we’ve been clean for many years I believe we can let our guard down and forget we have an adversary who is going to and fro seeking whom he may devour. However we don’t beat them up when they fall by the wayside, we lift them up and build them up just like we would want somebody to do for us. I’m sure the guilt and shame is already a heavy load for them to bear but we come to remind them Christ yoke is easy and His burden is light. We come to cover them in prayer believing that one day they will come to themselves and remember that their Heavenly Father is running toward them with His arms open wide ready to throw a heavenly party because His child has come home!
