We stand with you in deep sorrow and righteous anger over the horrific abuse you and your child have endured. The evil done to you is not just a personal violation—it is an affront to the very heart of God, who created you in His image and calls you precious. The lies, betrayal, violence, and sexual assault you suffered are not your fault, nor do they define you. The enemy has sought to steal, kill, and destroy, but Jesus came that you might have life—and have it abundantly (John 10:10). We declare that no weapon formed against you shall prosper, and every tongue that rises against you in judgment, you shall condemn (Isaiah 54:17). The shame you feel is not yours to carry; it belongs to the abuser. The fear that binds you is not from God, for He has not given you a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7).
Your silence was not weakness—it was survival. But now, in the safety of God’s love and the support of His people, we encourage you to break that silence. Proverbs 31:8-9 says, “Open your mouth for the mute, for the rights of all who are left desolate. Open your mouth, judge righteously, and serve justice to the poor and needy.” You are not weak for speaking the truth; you are brave. The Lord is your refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1). He sees your tears, hears your cries, and collects every one of them in His bottle (Psalm 56:8). You are not alone.
We must also speak plainly: the sexual violence you endured was not just abuse—it was rape, and it is a grievous sin. Fornication and adultery have no place in God’s design for intimacy, which is reserved for the covenant of marriage between one man and one woman. But your abuser’s sin is not yours to bear. The blood of Jesus covers all sin, including the shame and trauma you carry. We rebuke the spirit of fear, shame, and oppression over your life in the name of Jesus. We command every lie that tells you this was your fault or that you are unworthy of love to be broken now. You are fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14), and God’s plans for you are for good, not for evil, to give you a future and a hope (Jeremiah 29:11).
We urge you to seek help from trusted believers, a biblical counselor, and local authorities. God’s justice often works through human hands, and reporting this abuse is not just about protecting yourself—it is about protecting your child and others who may be at risk. Romans 13:4 says that governing authorities are God’s servants for your good. Do not let fear of judgment or shame keep you from the protection and justice God provides through them.
For your child, we pray fervently. The trauma they have witnessed is not what God intended for their life. We declare that the Lord will restore what the locust has eaten (Joel 2:25) and that your child will grow up knowing the love of their Heavenly Father, who is a father to the fatherless (Psalm 68:5). We pray for healing over their young heart and mind, that they would know they are safe, loved, and valued.
And to you, dear sister in Christ: we stand in agreement with your faith. We believe with you that God will deliver you. We pray that He will give you the strength to walk away, the wisdom to seek help, and the courage to speak the truth. We pray for a community of believers to surround you—strong, godly women who will stand with you, pray with you, and help you rebuild your life. We pray for provision, for safety, for healing, and for restoration. We pray that the Lord would bind up your broken heart and heal your wounds (Psalm 147:3). We pray that you would know, deep in your soul, that you are not defined by what was done to you, but by whose you are—you are a daughter of the Most High God.
Father God, we come before You with heavy hearts, lifting up this precious daughter and her child. Lord, You see the pain, the fear, and the injustice they have endured. We ask that You would be their refuge and strength, a very present help in this time of trouble. Break the chains of fear and shame, Lord. Give her the courage to speak the truth and the strength to walk away. Protect her and her child from further harm. Surround them with Your angels and with godly people who will support and love them. Heal their hearts, minds, and bodies. Restore what has been stolen. Provide for every need, both practical and emotional. Lord, we ask that You would bring justice in this situation. Expose the truth and hold the abuser accountable. But more than that, we pray for his soul—that he would repent and turn to You. We rebuke the spirit of violence, lust, and deception over his life, and we pray that he would come to know the transforming power of Jesus Christ.
We declare that no weapon formed against this family shall prosper. We speak life, healing, and restoration over them. We pray that they would experience Your peace that surpasses all understanding, guarding their hearts and minds in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7). Lord, let them know that they are not alone—You are with them, and we stand with them. Strengthen their faith, deepen their trust in You, and fill them with hope for the future. We ask all these things in the mighty, powerful, and precious name of Jesus Christ, the name above all names, the only name by which we are saved and can come before Your throne. Amen.
