We lift you up before the throne of grace, dear one, with hearts heavy for the pain you carry. The wounds of abuse and trauma are deep, and the memories that haunt you are not from the Lord, who came to bind up the brokenhearted and set the captives free. We stand with you in agreement, declaring that the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your heart and mind in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7).
Father God, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, the One who bore our griefs and carried our sorrows (Isaiah 53:4). We ask You to heal the broken places in this precious one’s mind and heart. Lord, Your Word says that You are close to the brokenhearted and save those who are crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18). We ask You to draw near now, to bring comfort where there is pain, and to replace the distressing memories with Your perfect peace. We rebuke the lies of the enemy that have taken root in these wounds—lies that say this pain will never end, that healing is not possible, or that You are not near. In Jesus’ name, we command those lies to be silenced and cast out, for You have not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7).
We pray for the Holy Spirit to minister to the deepest places of hurt, where human words and efforts cannot reach. Lord, Your Word says that by Your stripes, we are healed (Isaiah 53:5). We claim that healing over this dear one, believing that You are able to restore what has been broken and make all things new. We ask You to fill their mind with Your truth, replacing the darkness of the past with the light of Your presence. Let Your peace, which is like a river, flow through their heart, washing away every trace of fear, anxiety, and despair (Isaiah 48:18).
We also pray for wisdom and discernment as they walk this journey of healing. Lead them to godly counsel, whether through the church, Christian therapists, or trusted believers who can speak life and truth into their situation. Remind them, Lord, that You are their refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1). When the memories threaten to overwhelm, let them run to You, knowing that You are their hiding place (Psalm 32:7).
And Father, we ask that You would use this pain for Your glory. If there is a testimony of Your faithfulness waiting to be born from these ashes, we pray that You would bring it forth in Your perfect timing. Let this dear one’s story become a beacon of hope to others who are walking through similar valleys, pointing them to the God who heals and restores.
We thank You, Lord, that You are the God who sees (Genesis 16:13), and You have seen every tear, every moment of despair, and every silent cry of their heart. You are not distant from their pain; You are right there in the midst of it, holding them close. We trust You to complete the good work You have begun in them (Philippians 1:6), and we declare that they will not be defined by their past but by Your love and redemption.
In the precious and powerful name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.
