We hear the deep anguish in your cry, and our hearts break with yours over the suffering you’ve endured at the hands of those who should have shown love, respect, and protection. The Lord sees every tear, hears every plea, and is deeply grieved by the injustice and cruelty you’ve faced. His Word assures us that He is near to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18). You are not forgotten, and your pain has not gone unnoticed by Him. He is a God of justice, and He will not allow the wicked to triumph forever (Psalm 94:1-3).
The abuse you describe—yelling, screaming, disrespect, and manipulation—is not of God. Scripture commands us to *"let all bitterness, wrath, anger, outcry, and slander be put away from you, with all malice"* (Ephesians 4:31). Those who claim to love you but treat you with such cruelty are acting in direct opposition to God’s design for relationships, which are to be marked by *"love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith, gentleness, and self-control"* (Galatians 5:22-23). Their behavior is sinful, and it is not your fault. You do not "deserve" this treatment—no one does. The Lord calls His children to honor one another (Romans 12:10), and what you’ve endured is an affront to His holy standards.
We also notice that while you cried out to "Lord" and "Jesus," your prayer did not explicitly acknowledge that it is *only* through the name of Jesus Christ that we have access to the Father (John 14:6). There is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12), and it is by His authority alone that we can boldly approach the throne of grace (Hebrews 4:16). If you have not yet surrendered your life to Jesus as your Lord and Savior, we urge you to do so now. Confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, and you *will* be saved (Romans 10:9). He is the only One who can break the chains of oppression and lead you into true freedom.
As for those who have abused you, we pray for their repentance, for the Lord does not desire that any should perish but that all would come to repentance (2 Peter 3:9). However, repentance requires a turning away from sin and a turning toward God—and that includes ceasing their abusive behavior. You are not obligated to remain in a place where you are continually harmed. Scripture teaches us to *"flee from the midst of Babylon"* (Jeremiah 51:6)—to remove ourselves from environments of persistent sin and danger when possible. If you are able, seek safety, whether through trusted believers, a local church, or organizations that can provide protection and support. The Lord may be opening a door for you to step away from this toxicity, and we pray you will have the wisdom and courage to walk through it.
If you are financially or physically dependent on your abusers, we ask the Lord to provide a way of escape (1 Corinthians 10:13). Trust that He is able to supply all your needs according to His riches in glory (Philippians 4:19). Begin praying for divine connections—godly people who can offer help, guidance, or even a temporary place of refuge. The body of Christ is called to bear one another’s burdens (Galatians 6:2), and the Lord may use His people to be an answer to your prayers.
We also urge you to forgive those who have wronged you—not because they deserve it, but because *you* deserve freedom from the bitterness and bondage that unforgiveness brings. Jesus said, *"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"* (Matthew 6:14-15). Forgiveness does not mean excusing their behavior or reconciling with them if they remain unrepentant. It means releasing them to God’s justice and trusting Him to vindicate you (Romans 12:19). This is a process, and it may take time, but the Lord will give you the strength to let go of the pain as you lean on Him.
Lastly, we want to remind you that your worth is not defined by the way others have treated you. You are fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14), purchased by the precious blood of Jesus (1 Peter 1:18-19), and called a child of God (1 John 3:1). The enemy has sought to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10), but Jesus came to give you life abundantly. Claim that promise over your life today.
Now, let us pray together for you:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty and holy name of Jesus Christ, lifting up Your beloved child who has endured such deep pain and betrayal. Lord, You see the wounds no one else sees—the broken heart, the shattered trust, the exhaustion from bearing burdens no one should have to carry. We ask You to be their Refuge and Strength, their ever-present Help in trouble (Psalm 46:1). Surround them with Your peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7) and let them feel Your presence in a tangible way.
Lord, we rebuke the spirit of abuse, manipulation, and oppression that has tormented them. By the authority of Jesus Christ, we command these evil forces to flee and never return. Break every chain of fear, shame, and control that has kept them bound. Restore what the locusts have eaten (Joel 2:25)—their joy, their confidence, their hope. Father, open doors no man can shut (Revelation 3:8) and lead them to a place of safety, provision, and godly community. If they need to leave their current environment, provide the means, the wisdom, and the courage to do so. Place Your angels around them for protection (Psalm 91:11) and let no weapon formed against them prosper (Isaiah 54:17).
For those who have abused them, Lord, we pray for conviction. Let Your Holy Spirit pierce their hearts and bring them to true repentance. If they refuse to turn from their sin, we ask that You remove their influence and expose their deeds (Luke 12:2-3). Do not let evil triumph, but let Your justice prevail.
Father, heal the deep wounds in their soul. Replace their pain with Your comfort, their fear with Your courage, and their despair with Your hope. Remind them that they are not defined by their past or by the sins of others, but by Your love and redemption. Fill them with Your Holy Spirit and lead them into a future where they can thrive in Your purposes.
We declare that this season of suffering is coming to an end. You, Lord, are making a way where there seems to be no way. We thank You for the victory that is already won through Jesus Christ. Strengthen them, Lord, and let them walk in the freedom and dignity You have purchased for them.
In the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, we pray. Amen.
Stand firm, dear one. The Lord is fighting for you (Exodus 14:14). Keep your eyes on Him, and do not lose hope. He is faithful, and He will do what He has promised. Reach out to a trusted pastor or believer who can walk with you through this season. You are not alone—we are standing with you in prayer and belief for your deliverance. May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in Him (Romans 15:13).
