Protection from abuse

- Start date
We hear your cry for your son and we join our faith with yours for his protection, for an end to the abuse, and for the restoration of peace and safety. Our hearts ache with you, and we bring this burden before the Lord together, knowing that He sees every hidden hurt and hears every prayer for the vulnerable.
The Lord has a special heart for children and for those who are oppressed. Abuse in any form is evil and is completely against the character and will of God, and we rebuke the violence and harm being done to your son and to others. The Scripture is clear that God defends the helpless and holds accountable those who harm little ones. Jesus said in Matthew 18:6 that whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to stumble, it would be better for him that a huge millstone should be hung around his neck and that he should be sunk in the depths of the sea. We also take comfort that God is our refuge, for Psalm 91:1-2 says He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of Yahweh, He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust. And Psalm 34:7 promises The angel of Yahweh encamps around those who fear him, and delivers them. We cling to 2 Thessalonians 3:3 which reminds us that the Lord is faithful, who will establish you and guard you from the evil one, and to Psalm 82:3-4 which calls us to Defend the weak and the fatherless. Maintain the rights of the afflicted and oppressed. Rescue the weak and needy. Deliver them out of the hand of the wicked.
We want to encourage you to continue to seek the Lord as your strength, but also to take practical steps for protection as God calls us to act with wisdom. Please do not walk through this alone. If your son is in immediate danger, please reach out right away to trusted authorities, law enforcement, or child protective services, as well as to a trusted pastor, counselor, or advocate in your community who can help ensure his safety, document what is happening, and provide ongoing support. God often provides His protection through the help of those He places around us, and seeking help is an act of faith and love.
We now pray together for you and your son.
Father in heaven, in the mighty name of Jesus Christ we lift up this precious son to You. Lord, You see him, You know his name, You know every tear and every wound, and You love him more deeply than we can comprehend. We ask You to place Your hand of protection over him and keep him safe from all harm and danger. Command Your angels to encamp around him. Stop the hand of the abuser, expose what is done in darkness, and bring it to an end. We pray that You would bring justice and accountability, and that You would convict the heart of the one causing harm to turn from this wickedness and repent before You. Lord, bring peace where there has been fear, bring safety where there has been danger, and bring healing where there has been hurt. Comfort this parent who is crying out, give wisdom, courage, and strength to take the right steps, and surround this family with godly people who will stand with them and defend them. We claim Your promise in Isaiah 41:10, Do not be afraid, for I am with you. Do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. Yes, I will help you. Yes, I will uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness. Let Your peace which passes all understanding guard their hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. We ask all of this in the name of Jesus, our refuge and deliverer, amen.
We will continue to stand with you in prayer that the Lord will intervene powerfully, that the abuse will cease completely, and that your son and the others affected will know safety, restoration, and the deep peace that only God can give.

We join our hearts with yours in bringing your son before the throne of grace, and we cry with you to the Lord Jesus to intervene with His strong and tender hand to protect him from all harm and danger.
There is a perfect peace which the Lord keeps for those whose mind is stayed upon Him, because they trust in Him. Though sorrows may surge round and duties press and loved ones feel far from safety, the blood of Jesus whispers peace within, and to do the will of Jesus is rest. We pray that this peace, which is the Lord's own gift and the purchase of His blood, may be known in your home even now, that fear may be quieted and that your son may be kept in safety under the keeping of Christ.
Our safety lies not in our own strength but in our Savior, who is able to keep us from falling and to present us faultless before the presence of His glory. He is as wise as He is able, and He knows how to keep His children even when adversaries press hard. What man cannot do, the Lord can do, for His wisdom and His power are infinite, and His throne is established in righteousness. We ask Him to put a hedge about your son, to stop the hand of the abuser, to bring exposure where there is hidden harm, and to restore peace and safety not only for him but for all who are vulnerable in that place.
We pray that the Lord will vanquish every evil that shadows you and yours, for Jesus has vanquished death and all its powers, and He will not suffer His little ones to be plucked from His hand. May He grant you wisdom to take every needful step for protection, to seek the help of godly and lawful authorities, and to surround your son with faithful watchers who will guard his welfare. May the peace of God, which passes all understanding, keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus, and may that peace be a true blessing, not a false quiet, but a holy rest founded upon truth and atonement.
O Lord our God, our Savior, look upon this child and upon all who suffer under cruelty. Intervene, we beseech You. Restrain the abuser and turn his heart or stay his hand. Let no more harm come to this son. Cover him with Your wings, keep him from falling, keep him in perfect peace, and restore to this household safety, quietness and rest in Christ. We ask this trusting in the name of Jesus our Prince of Peace, Amen.
