I would like God to help me remember what happened to me in my childhood so that the investigation can open up again. I fear the consequences of what will happen to me.

We understand the deep burden you carry, and we want you to know that God sees your pain and hears your cry for justice and healing. The fear you feel is real, but we serve a God who is greater than our fears, a God who commands us, *"Don’t 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, WEB). He is the one who brings truth to light and walks with us through every valley.
The desire to remember what happened in your childhood is a heavy one, and we must approach it with both caution and trust in God’s timing. The Bible tells us in *Ecclesiastes 3:11* that God *"has made everything beautiful in its time."* If there are memories that have been hidden, it may be that God, in His wisdom, has protected your mind from the full weight of them until now. But if He is leading you to seek the truth, He will also provide the strength to face it. *"For God didn’t give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control"* (2 Timothy 1:7, WEB). You do not have to walk this path alone—He is with you, and He will equip you for whatever lies ahead.
At the same time, we must also consider the warning in Scripture to *"be careful what you think, because your thoughts run your life"* (Proverbs 4:23, WEB). If the memories you seek are tied to trauma, it is wise to pursue this under the guidance of godly, professional counselors who can help you process what may come to light. The body of Christ is meant to bear one another’s burdens (*Galatians 6:2*), and seeking wise, biblically grounded support is not a lack of faith but an act of stewardship over the mind and heart God has given you.
As for the fear of consequences, we must remember that our ultimate justice and protection come from the Lord. *"Don’t be afraid of those who kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul. Rather, fear him who is able to destroy both soul and body in Gehenna"* (Matthew 10:28, WEB). If this investigation involves uncovering evil, know that God is a God of justice. *"The Lord is known by the justice he executes. The wicked are trapped by the work of their own hands"* (Psalm 9:16, WEB). He will not allow the wicked to go unpunished forever, and He will vindicate those who seek Him.
However, we must also prepare our hearts for the possibility that the truth may bring pain—not just for you, but for others involved. This is why we must surrender this process entirely to the Lord, trusting that His ways are higher than ours (*Isaiah 55:8-9*). Even if the outcome is not what you expect, He will use it for your good and His glory (*Romans 8:28*). Your role is to seek Him first, to ask for His wisdom (*James 1:5*), and to trust that He will lead you in the right path.
We also want to gently remind you that if this pursuit is driven by bitterness, anger, or a desire for revenge, we must surrender those feelings to God. *"Don’t say, ‘I will pay back evil.’ Wait for the Lord, and he will save you"* (Proverbs 20:22, WEB). The Lord sees the wrongs done to you, and He will act in His perfect timing. Our hearts must remain guarded against the poison of unforgiveness, for *"if you don’t forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses"* (Matthew 6:15, WEB). This does not mean what was done to you was right or that justice shouldn’t be sought, but it does mean we must release the burden of vengeance to God, who judges righteously.
Lastly, we notice that your request does not invoke the name of Jesus Christ, and we want to remind you that there is no other name by which we can approach the Father. *"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, WEB). It is only through faith in Christ that we have access to God’s throne of grace, where we find mercy and help in our time of need (*Hebrews 4:16*). If you have not yet surrendered your life to Jesus, we urge you to do so now. He is the only one who can truly heal your broken heart and set you free from the chains of fear. *"If you will 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, WEB). There is no pit so deep that His love cannot reach you, no wound so severe that His grace cannot heal it.
Now, let us pray for you:
Heavenly Father, we lift up this precious child of Yours who is carrying the weight of unknown pain and the fear of what lies ahead. Lord, You are the God who sees all things, who knows the deepest secrets of the heart, and who holds the keys to every memory. We ask that You would guide this process with Your wisdom and grace. If there are memories that need to be revealed, do so in Your perfect timing and in a way that does not overwhelm but instead brings clarity and healing. Protect this dear one from the enemy’s attempts to distort or weaponize the past. Fill them with Your peace, which surpasses all understanding, guarding their heart and mind in Christ Jesus (*Philippians 4:7*).
Lord, we rebuke the spirit of fear that has taken hold, and we declare that *"perfect love casts out fear"* (1 John 4:18, WEB). Flood this heart with Your love, Father, and remind them that they are not defined by what was done to them but by who they are in You—a beloved child, redeemed and made new. Give them the courage to walk forward in faith, knowing that You are with them every step of the way.
We pray for the investigation, Lord, that if it is Your will for it to be reopened, You would make the way clear. Expose every lie and bring every hidden thing to light (*1 Corinthians 4:5*). Let justice roll down like waters and righteousness like a mighty stream (*Amos 5:24*), but let it be done in a way that ultimately points to Your redemption and glory. Protect this dear one from any retaliation or harm, and surround them with godly support—people who will speak truth, offer wisdom, and walk alongside them in this season.
Father, we also ask that You would heal the wounds of the past. Where there is brokenness, bring restoration. Where there is pain, bring comfort. Where there is fear, bring faith. Let this journey not be one of destruction but of redemption, where even the darkest valleys become a testament to Your power to save and deliver.
And finally, Lord, we pray that if this dear one has not yet fully surrendered to You, that today would be the day they place their trust in Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. May they know the freedom that comes from being forgiven and the hope that comes from being Your child. Fill them with Your Holy Spirit, who is their Comforter and Guide.
We ask all these things in the mighty and holy name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Redeemer. Amen.
