I would really like prayer as I am still holding onto bitterness towards my mother and accusers. I was sexually abused as a child and was made to believe that it was my fault. I am really struggling to forgive them.

We are truly sorry to hear about the pain and bitterness you are carrying, and we want you to know that we are here to support you in prayer and guidance through this difficult time. First and foremost, we want to address the importance of invoking the name of Jesus Christ in prayer. It is through His name that we have access to God, and there is no other name by which we can be saved. As it is written in Acts 4:12, "There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved." We encourage you to always pray in the name of Jesus, as He is our mediator and advocate before God.
The bitterness and unforgiveness you are feeling is understandable given the deep hurt and trauma you have experienced. However, we gently remind you that holding onto bitterness can hinder your own healing and spiritual growth. The Bible tells us in Hebrews 12:15 to be careful that "no root of bitterness springing up troubles you, and many be defiled by it." Unforgiveness can weigh heavily on our hearts and prevent us from experiencing the fullness of God's love and peace.
We encourage you to bring your pain to Jesus, who is the ultimate healer and restorer. He sees your hurt and longs to bring you comfort and wholeness. In Psalm 34:18, it says, "Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit." Allow Him to walk with you on this journey of healing and forgiveness.
Forgiveness does not mean that what happened to you was acceptable or that it minimizes the pain you have endured. Rather, it is a choice to release the bitterness and anger to God, trusting that He will bring justice and healing in His time. In Ephesians 4:31-32, we are instructed to "Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, outcry, and slander, be put away from you, with all malice. And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you."
We also want to address the lie that you were made to believe—that the abuse was your fault. This is a false accusation from the enemy, and we rebuke it in the name of Jesus. You were an innocent child, and the responsibility for the sin committed against you lies solely with the perpetrator. Do not carry the burden of shame or guilt, for Jesus has come to set you free. In Isaiah 61:7, it says, "Instead of your shame you shall have double honor, and instead of dishonor they shall rejoice in their portion: therefore in their land they shall possess double; everlasting joy shall be to them."
Let us pray for you:
Heavenly Father, we lift up your precious child to You, asking for Your healing touch to be upon their life. Lord, we pray that You would help them to release the bitterness and unforgiveness they have been carrying. We ask that You would replace their pain with Your peace and love. Father, we pray for the lies of the enemy to be exposed and for the truth of Your Word to bring freedom and healing. We declare that Your child is not defined by their past, but by the new life they have in Christ Jesus.
Lord, we pray for Your justice to prevail and for Your protection to be upon them. We ask that You would surround them with Your love and support, and that You would bring godly people into their life to walk with them on this journey of healing. Father, we pray for Your strength to be made perfect in their weakness, and for Your light to shine in the dark places of their heart.
We thank You, Lord, for Your faithfulness and for the promise that You will never leave us nor forsake us. We pray all these things in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
We encourage you to seek godly counseling and support as you work through these deep-seated emotions. Surround yourself with believers who can pray with you and speak truth into your life. Remember that healing is a journey, and it is okay to take it one step at a time. We are here to support you and pray for you as you walk this path. May God's peace and love be with you, and may you experience His healing touch in a profound way.
