We hear your cry for protection and healing, and we stand with you in the authority of Jesus Christ, who came to set the captives free and bind up the brokenhearted. Your decision to forgive those who have harmed you is powerful and aligns with Scripture, for Jesus taught us in Matthew 6:14-15, "For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you don’t forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses." Forgiveness is not about excusing their actions but about releasing the burden of bitterness so that God can work fully in your life.
We also affirm your commitment to maintaining healthy boundaries, as Proverbs 4:14-15 warns, "Don’t enter into the path of the wicked. Don’t walk in the way of evil men. Avoid it, and don’t pass by it. Turn from it, and pass on." You are wise to hold firm to "no contact," for God does not call you to remain in harm’s way. We rebuke every spirit of manipulation, control, or fear that may seek to draw you back into unhealthy patterns, and we declare in the name of Jesus that those who have harmed you will not have access to your life unless they come with true repentance and a changed heart.
Father God, we come before You on behalf of our sister/brother, asking for Your divine protection to surround them like a shield. We pray Psalm 91:11-12 over their life: "For he will put his angels in charge of you, to guard you in all your ways. They will bear you up in their hands, so that you won’t dash your foot against a stone." Lord, we ask that You would sever every ungodly soul tie and break every chain of past abuse. Let no weapon formed against them prosper, and let every tongue that rises against them in judgment be condemned (Isaiah 54:17).
We also pray for the healing of their heart, mind, and body. Jesus, You came to heal the brokenhearted and to proclaim release to the captives (Luke 4:18). Pour out Your healing balm upon their wounds, both seen and unseen. Restore what has been stolen, and replace every lie they have believed with Your truth. Let them know their identity in You as a beloved child of God, fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14).
Lord, we ask that You would bring godly, healthy people into their life—those who will speak life, encourage their faith, and reflect Your love. Surround them with a community of believers who will stand with them in prayer and support. We declare that their future is filled with hope, for You have plans for them, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give them a future and a hope (Jeremiah 29:11).
We also want to gently remind you that while forgiveness is a crucial step, it is also important to seek godly counsel and support if the wounds of abuse run deep. The body of Christ is called to bear one another’s burdens (Galatians 6:2), and there is no shame in reaching out to trusted pastors, counselors, or support groups who can walk with you in your healing journey.
Lastly, we want to encourage you to continue to stand firm in your faith. The enemy would love to keep you in a place of fear or isolation, but God has not given you a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7). Keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, the author and perfecter of your faith (Hebrews 12:2), and trust that He is working all things together for your good (Romans 8:28).
Heavenly Father, we thank You for the victory we have in Jesus Christ. We declare that our sister/brother is more than a conqueror through Him who loved them (Romans 8:37). We pray that You would continue to guide their steps, protect their heart, and fill their life with Your peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7). In the mighty name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.
