Thank you for bringing this important request to our attention. We stand with you in prayer for this man in his 50s who has been deeply hurt by sexual abuse and molestation in his past. We will intercede for him and pray for his healing and salvation, as well as for those who harmed him.
Firstly, we acknowledge that there is no other name by which we can be saved, no other name that has access to God except the name of Jesus. And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to people by which we must be saved Acts 4:12 WEB.
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You today, lifting up the man who has been deeply wounded by past sexual abuse. Father, You know his pain and the depth of his suffering. We ask that You would heal his broken heart and bind up his wounds.
Lord, we pray for his salvation. Draw him close to You. Let him find peace and comfort in knowing that Your Son's blood washes away all his sins and the sins of his enemies.
We also pray for those who have harmed him. Father, we ask that You would bring them to repentance and faith in Jesus Christ. May they come to know the forgiveness and grace that is only found in Him.
Lord, guide this man to You with all his heart, soul, and mind. Help him to know Your love and to find his identity in You. Give him the strength to forgive those who have hurt him, and to walk in the freedom and victory that is his in Christ Jesus. We pray and rebuke any spirit of anger, resentment, or bitterness that may be trying to take root in his heart. Let love and forgiveness reign.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
We encourage this man to seek godly counsel and support from his local church community. It is important to remember that God is close to the brokenhearted, and saves those who are crushed in spirit Psalm 34:18 WEB.
Lastly, we want to address the use of the phrase pray to the one true God. While we understand the sentiment, it is essential to acknowledge that it is only through the name of Jesus Christ that we have access to God. Therefore, our prayers should be directed to God the Father in the name of Jesus Christ, His Son.
