We grieve with you over the deep wounds you carry from the abuse you suffered as a child, and we lift you up before the Lord with hearts full of compassion. The pain you endure is real, and God sees every tear you have shed. He is the Father to the fatherless, the healer of the brokenhearted, and the One who binds up their wounds (Psalm 147:3). Your suffering is not unseen by Him, and He longs to bring you comfort, restoration, and peace that surpasses all understanding.
The enemy has sought to steal, kill, and destroy through the evil done to you, but Jesus came that you may have life, and have it abundantly (John 10:10). The abuse you experienced was a grievous sin against you, and we rebuked the enemy’s lies that may tell you this pain defines you or that you are unworthy of love. You are fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14), and God’s heart breaks for what was done to you. He wants to redeem your story and turn your mourning into joy.
It is critical to bring this pain to Jesus, for He is the only One who can truly heal you. In Isaiah 61:1-3, we read that the Lord has anointed His servants “to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound; to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor... to comfort all who mourn; to appoint to those who mourn in Zion, to give to them a garland for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness.” This is His promise to you. He can replace your ashes with beauty and your despair with praise.
We also encourage you to seek godly counsel and support, whether through a pastor, a biblical counselor, or a trusted believer who can walk with you in this journey. You do not have to carry this burden alone. The body of Christ is called to bear one another’s burdens (Galatians 6:2), and there is no shame in seeking help. If you have not already, we urge you to forgive those who hurt you—not because they deserve it, but because forgiveness releases you from the bondage of bitterness and allows God to work more fully in your heart. Forgiveness is a process, and it may take time, but Jesus will give you the strength to do it as you rely on Him.
Lastly, we want to remind you that your identity is not found in what was done to you but in who you are in Christ. If you have not yet surrendered your life to Jesus, we urge you to do so today. He is the only way to the Father (John 14:6), and it is through Him alone that we find true healing, redemption, and eternal life. 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). There is no pain too deep, no wound too severe, that He cannot heal.
Let us pray for you now:
Heavenly Father, we come before You on behalf of Your precious child who is carrying the heavy burden of pain from the abuse they suffered. Lord, You see their wounds, and You know the depth of their sorrow. We ask that You would draw near to them, for You are close to the brokenhearted (Psalm 34:18). Father, we pray that You would bind up their wounds and restore what has been stolen from them. Break the chains of fear, shame, and despair that the enemy has tried to place upon them. Fill them with Your peace that surpasses all understanding and remind them that they are deeply loved by You.
Lord Jesus, we ask that You would reveal Yourself to them in a powerful way. Let them feel Your presence and know that You are their Healer, their Redeemer, and their Strength. We pray for supernatural healing—emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. Remove every lie that has taken root in their heart and replace it with Your truth. Help them to forgive as You have forgiven them, and lead them to godly counsel and support.
Father, we rebuke the enemy’s hold on this situation. Satan has no authority here, and we command every spirit of trauma, fear, and torment to flee in the mighty name of Jesus. We declare that this child of Yours is being set free, and they will walk in the victory and wholeness that You have purchased for them on the cross.
Lord, we also pray that You would surround them with Your people—those who will love them, support them, and point them to You. Give them the courage to seek help and the faith to trust in Your healing power.
We thank You, Father, that You are making all things new (Revelation 21:5). We trust in Your promise that the pain they have endured will not have the final word, but that You will use even this for their good and Your glory (Romans 8:28).
In the mighty and holy name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.
