Beloved of All
Praying in Jesus Name. Amen.
We have heard your heart and we are lifting you up together before the Father in Jesus name in this very difficult and heavy time. We are so sorry for the disappointment you feel toward your family and for the deep disturbance to your peace after your abusive ex reappeared this week. The Lord sees when we are low and He draws near to us in that place.
We take comfort in what Scripture says, Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit Psalm 34:18. And He says to us, Don't you be afraid, for I am with you. Don't be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. Yes, I will help you. Yes, I will uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness Isaiah 41:10. God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble Psalm 46:1. When anxiety and heaviness press in, we are reminded, In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus Philippians 4:6-7.
We want to speak clearly about the abuse you experienced. Abuse in any form is sin and it is not God's will for you. The Lord is faithful, who will establish you and guard you from the evil one 2 Thessalonians 3:3. We encourage you to maintain firm and safe boundaries with this former abuser. It is wise and right to not open the door to further contact, to block communication if needed, to seek safety, and to lean on trusted pastors, godly counsel, and if necessary lawful protection. We pray that you will not be drawn back into that harmful relationship. God's design for relationships is for courtship that honors Him between believers with the goal of lifelong marriage between a man and a woman, marked by love, respect, and Christlike sacrifice. An abusive relationship is the opposite of that and we encourage you to look to the Lord for healing and, in His perfect timing, if it is His will for you to marry, to seek a godly spouse who will honor God and cherish you as Christ loves the church. If there was sexual intimacy outside of marriage in that past relationship, we gently encourage you to bring that to the Lord in repentance and receive His forgiveness and cleansing, for He is gracious to restore those who turn to Him.
Regarding your family, we understand how painful disappointment can be when those closest to us fall short. Scripture calls us, If it is possible, as much as it is up to you, be at peace with all men Romans 12:18, and Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you Ephesians 4:32. Forgiveness does not mean that hurtful behavior is acceptable or that healthy boundaries are not needed, but it does free our hearts from bitterness and entrusts justice to God. We pray for wisdom for you to navigate these family relationships with both grace and truth.
We noticed your request did not mention the name of Jesus Christ, and we want to lovingly share that it is only through Jesus that we have access to God and peace with Him. Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me John 14:6. 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 Acts 4:12. If you have not already, we encourage you to put your trust in Jesus Christ, believing that He died for your sins and rose again, and to call upon His name. If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved Romans 10:9. It is in His name that we pray and find true and lasting peace.
We pray together for you now.
Father in heaven, we lift this dear one to You in the name of Jesus Christ. You see the disappointment and heaviness in the heart and the way peace has been disturbed this week. We ask You to wrap Your comforting presence around this life right now, to lift the lowness and replace anxiety with Your peace that surpasses all understanding. Lord, we ask You to be a shield and refuge from the abusive ex, to guard from all harm and to give courage to keep firm boundaries and to not return to what harmed. Heal the wounds left by that abuse, heal memories and fears, and restore a sense of safety and worth as Your beloved child. We also bring the family situation before You, You know the reasons for the disappointment even when they are not spoken here. Bring healing where there has been hurt, give wisdom for conversations and boundaries, teach forgiveness and help reconciliation where it is possible and wise. Lead toward relationships that honor You and toward a future that reflects Your goodness. Draw this heart close to Jesus, reveal Your love and salvation through Him, and let Your joy and hope rise again. We ask all this in the mighty and merciful name of Jesus Christ, amen.
We encourage you to stay close to the Lord in prayer and in His Word daily, to share openly with a trusted pastor or mature believer who can walk with you, and to not carry this burden alone. Keep guarding your peace by keeping distance from what God has delivered you from, and keep seeking Him for the healing of your family. We are continuing to pray for your peace to be fully restored and for God's strength to uphold you each day.

If you are in immediate danger, please contact your local emergency services right now. For free, confidential support, you can find a helpline in your country at findahelpline.com, trained people are ready to help right now. You are not alone.
We are so sorry you are carrying this today. Being disappointed by family and then having an abusive ex reappear and disturb your peace is a lot to hold at once, and it makes sense you feel low and unsettled.
We want you to know your safety and peace matter. When someone from an abusive past pops back up, it can stir up old fear and make it hard to think clearly, even if no new threat has happened. Please try not to walk through this alone.
A couple of steady next steps that may help is to tell one trusted, safe person near you what happened this week and make a simple plan together for what to do if your ex contacts you again, including how to limit contact and keep a record of any messages. If you have a pastor, counselor, or trusted support person, consider reaching out to them soon alongside prayer, so you have ongoing support.
We are praying for you and your family.
Father, we lift this dear one to You right now. We ask for protection, for calm and restored peace, and for wisdom for each next decision. Surround them with safe people who will listen well and help practically. Guide their family toward understanding and care. Give strength for today and hope for the days ahead. In Jesus' name, amen.

Beloved of All
Your low and troubled heart has been heard, and we bring it before the Lord who heals the broken in heart and binds up their wounds.
There are multiplied cares where disappointment and defeat have crushed the spirits, and sorrows surging round can make the soul feel very low. Yet there is a peace which the world cannot give and cannot take away. It is written, You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You. This peace is a present possession to be enjoyed even in the ordinary circumstances of life, even with sorrows surging round, for the blood of Jesus whispers peace within.
We pray for you now that you may know that whisper of peace in your inmost soul. May the Lord lift that heaviness which now presses upon you, and turn your disappointed thoughts away from what has failed you to Him who never fails. He is first King of Righteousness and after that King of Peace, and out of His righteousness peace is sure to spring up. Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, and that touch of personal faith brings peace to the soul.
We pray that the great Physician will spread His healing leaves over your wounds. The least thing about Christ is healing, and His leaves are for the healing of the broken. May He purge every evil memory of that abuse which has disturbed your peace this week, and change the lifeblood of your spirit and make your nature fresh again by His grace. He does not make peace with sin, and He does not call you to make peace with what is cruel or unholy, but to find refuge in Him. May He keep you safe, guard your goings, and give you wise and godly counsel and the protection of His people around you, so that you are not left alone in this trial.
We ask the Lord to bless your family also, though they have disappointed you. May He give you grace to bear that sorrow with Him, to forgive as you have been forgiven, and to commit your loved ones into Jesus keeping where you and they are safe. May He teach you to bring every new burden to Him, for He has promised to bless His people with peace, a peace from lips that cannot lie, through blood which has made a full atonement.
May the Sun of Righteousness rise upon you with healing in His wings, and may your mind be stayed upon Christ this day, trusting Him alone for salvation and for keeping. When earthly props give way, may you find that it is enough, that Jesus calls you to rest in Him till earths struggles shall cease and He brings you to Heavens perfect peace.
We commend you to His tender care, praying that He will keep you in perfect peace and restore unto you the joy of His salvation. Amen.
