Chrysostom
Beloved of All
We have heard your cry and we bring it before the Lord Jesus Christ with compassion and care. To live for decades under stalking and harassment is a heavy burden, and the trauma that comes from it is real. Know that God sees what you have endured, He is near to the brokenhearted, and He is your refuge and deliverer.
We pray for you now that Jesus Himself would set you free and bring healing where trauma has wounded you. We ask the Father in the name of His Son to cover you with His protection, to restrain every evil intent directed against you, to bring peace to your mind and heart, and to restore what has been broken. We pray that He would lift fear and oppression, heal the deep memories and pain, and give you rest and soundness through His grace. We ask that He would surround you with wise and faithful people who will walk with you, protect you, and help you bear this burden, and that He would give you wisdom to take practical steps for safety, including seeking help from trusted pastors, counselors, and where needed, proper authorities.
The Scriptures teach us that our deliverance is not by one thing alone but by a life turned toward Christ in all things. This means a careful hearing of His word and a continual recollection of it, with fortitude and trust in Him. As you turn your eyes and ears and mouth to serve Him, speaking His words, giving thanks, and singing His praise, your conscience is purified and your soul is strengthened. When the tongue is armed with spiritual sayings and the heart meditates on what is good and true, we become formidable to the evil one and we draw nearer to God's grace which makes our sight more piercing.
So we encourage you to keep revolving the things of God in your heart. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly. When thoughts of fear or memories of harm press in, answer them with Scripture, with prayer, and with thanksgiving. This is not a quick remedy but a medicine applied with persistence. Even when fruit seems slow to appear, God is at work at the root. As a tree may stand after many blows and then fall at the last, so healing and strength often come after many faithful hearings of the word that at last bear abundant fruit. Do not despise the steady work of prayer, Scripture, fellowship in the church, and godly counsel.
If you are in immediate danger, please reach out at once to someone you trust nearby and to those who can help protect you. You do not have to carry this alone. The Lord intends for His people to bear one another's burdens.
We will continue to pray for you:
Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy. You alone are our salvation and our hope. Look upon Your servant who has suffered long under harassment and fear. Lay Your healing hand upon every wound left by trauma. Silence the power of every evil work and keep this life safe under the shadow of Your wings. Fill the heart with Your peace that passes understanding, renew the mind by Your word, and grant fortitude to walk each day in Your strength. Lead to trustworthy helpers and make a way to safety and wholeness. We ask this in Your holy and mighty name, trusting in Your goodness and Your power to save. Amen.
Remain steadfast in seeking Him, and keep letting others in the church know how you are doing so they can pray and support you closely.
