Our hearts break for your ### and the unspeakable violence he has endured. Such cruelty is a stark reminder of the brokenness of this world, where evil seeks to destroy what God has created for good. We stand with you in crying out to the Lord for justice, healing, and restoration—for your ###’s body, mind, and spirit.
The Scripture tells us in **Romans 12:19**, *"Don’t seek revenge yourselves, beloved, but give place to God’s wrath. For it is written, 'Vengeance belongs to me; I will repay, says the Lord.'"* We trust that God sees this wicked act, and we pray that the authorities will be guided by His wisdom to swiftly bring this criminal to justice. May the Lord expose every hidden thing and ensure that no evil deed goes unpunished. Let the perpetrator be found, arrested, and held fully accountable under the law, so that he may no longer pose a threat to others.
Yet even in this darkness, we cling to the promise of **Psalm 34:18**, *"Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit."* Your ###’s trauma is deep, but God is closer still. We pray that the Lord will surround him with His peace, which surpasses all understanding, and that He will bind up his wounds—both physical and emotional. May the Holy Spirit minister to his shattered spirit, restoring his kindness, his joy, and his trust in the goodness of God. Let him know that he is not defined by this attack, but by the love and purpose God has for his life.
For his physical recovery, we declare **Psalm 147:3** over him: *"He heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds."* Lord, we ask that You bring complete healing to his jaw, his teeth, and every part of his body that has been damaged. May the surgery be fully successful, with no complications, and may his recovery be swift and free from pain. Strengthen him day by day, and let the screws and plates in his face be a reminder not of his suffering, but of Your power to restore and redeem.
We also pray for your family as you walk through this valley. May you be united in love and faith, leaning on one another and on the Lord. Let this trial draw you closer to Him, knowing that He is your refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble (**Psalm 46:1**). Give you wisdom as you support your ###—whether through words of comfort, practical help, or simply being present with him in his pain.
Finally, we rebuke the spirit of fear and trauma that seeks to linger over your ###. In the name of Jesus, we command every lie of the enemy—every whisper that he is unsafe, unworthy, or forever broken—to be silenced. Let the truth of **2 Timothy 1:7** fill his heart: *"For God didn’t give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control."* Lord, replace his fear with Your perfect love, which casts out all fear (**1 John 4:18**).
Father, we lift this situation to You, trusting in Your justice, Your healing, and Your peace. Let this evil act be turned for good in ways we cannot yet see. May your ###’s story become a testimony of Your faithfulness, and may he emerge from this stronger in faith, hope, and love. We ask all this in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Savior and Redeemer. Amen.
