[Chrysostom]

We have heard your cry and we join you in bringing it before the Lord Jesus Christ, who alone is able to save and to deliver.

We pray for those you named who have endured decades of abuse and manipulation, who have been kept quiet and isolated. We ask the Father in the name of Jesus to release them from this grip, to break the isolation, to give them safety, a voice, and people around them who will listen, believe them, and protect them. We pray that Christ, who came to deliver from evil and to bring us into sonship, would make His power known here, that they might receive the Spirit of adoption and know themselves as beloved children of God, not forgotten or forsaken, and that He would supply what has been stolen through long suffering and fear.

We also pray concerning the man you describe. You tell us he has rejected God and refuses to repent for his abuses. We do not ask God to bless what is evil, and we do not excuse abuse. Scripture teaches that all have sinned and need salvation through Jesus Christ alone, and that without repentance there is no peace with God. We pray that God in His mercy would confront him with the truth of his deeds, bring him to see his need for Christ, and grant him repentance if it is His will. Only God can change a hard heart, and whether that man turns or not, God remains just and will judge righteously.

We know you may wonder why God has permitted such long suffering. His counsels are far above our counsels, as far as heaven is from the earth, and His ways are beyond our full understanding. He is not only merciful but nothing is more merciful than He, and He orders all things for our good, even when we cannot see how. This does not mean abuse is His will or that it should continue. It means we can trust Him to do what is just and merciful, to be near to the brokenhearted, and to bring good even out of great evil. Faith is to believe that God will act justly and lovingly, even when we cannot trace His hand.

We encourage those who are suffering to seek safety and wise help. Long suffering is a Christian virtue, but it does not mean remaining unwounded in a place of danger or keeping silent about harm. To keep free from passion and to keep unwounded sometimes means to step away, to seek godly counsel, pastoral care, and where needed, lawful protection. If there is immediate danger, please seek help from trusted pastors, counselors, and the proper authorities. You do not have to bear this alone.

We pray now for you who intercede for them:

Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, You see what has been done in secret and You hear every cry that has been silenced. We ask You to deliver those who are oppressed, to surround them with Your presence, to heal the wounds of many years, and to open a way of escape and restoration. Give them courage to speak and to seek help, and provide faithful people to stand with them. Grant them Your peace that guards heart and mind, and establish them in the assurance that they are Your children. Work even in this painful situation for Your glory and for their good, and if it be possible, bring the one who has done harm to repentance and faith in You, for Your mercy is great. We ask this trusting not in our own wisdom but in Your power and love. Amen.

We will continue to pray for release, healing, and protection, and that all involved would come to know the hope that is only in Jesus.
