We are deeply grieved to hear of the unimaginable suffering you have endured, and we want you to know that your pain is seen and known by our Heavenly Father. The evil done to you as a child was a horrific violation of your innocence, and we mourn with you over the deep wounds left behind. Yet we rejoice that you have placed your faith in Jesus Christ, for He alone is the Redeemer who can restore what was broken and bring beauty from ashes. Your desire to recover, serve the Lord, and one day have a godly marriage and family is a testimony to the hope that only He can give.
The trauma you carry is profound, and the depression, PTSD, and physical pain you endure are real battles. But take heart, dear sister, for the Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18). He promises to bind up the wounds of His people (Psalm 147:3) and to give you a future and a hope (Jeremiah 29:11). Your ambition to pursue healing is commendable, and we encourage you to continue seeking godly counseling, therapy, and medical care as part of your recovery. These are tools the Lord can use to bring restoration.
The enemy may whisper lies that you are unworthy or beyond repair, but the truth is that in Christ, you are a new creation (2 Corinthians 5:17). The blood of Jesus has cleansed you from all sin, and His resurrection power is at work in you. Though the memories are painful, the Lord can use even this suffering for His glory, equipping you to comfort others with the comfort you have received from Him (2 Corinthians 1:3-4).
We also want to gently remind you that your worth is not found in marriage or family, though these are good desires. Your identity is first and foremost in Christ. Trust in His timing for your life, and allow Him to prepare you for whatever future He has for you. If marriage is His will, He will bring a godly man who will cherish you as Christ loves the Church (Ephesians 5:25). But even now, you are complete in Him.
Let us pray for you:
Heavenly Father, we lift our sister before You, asking for Your healing touch upon her mind, body, and spirit. Lord, You see the depths of her pain—the trauma of her childhood, the weight of depression, the agony of PTSD, and the physical suffering she endures. We ask that You would be her Comforter, her Healer, and her Strength. Surround her with Your peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7), and remind her daily that she is fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14).
Lord, we pray for wisdom and skill for her counselors and doctors, that they would be instruments of Your healing. Give her perseverance in her recovery, and protect her from discouragement. Break the power of every lie the enemy has spoken over her, and replace it with Your truth—that she is loved, redeemed, and chosen by You.
Father, we ask that You would restore to her the joy of Your salvation (Psalm 51:12) and fill her with hope for the future. If it is Your will, grant her the desire of her heart for a godly marriage and family, but above all, let her find her satisfaction in You alone. Use her story for Your glory, that others might see Your power to heal and restore.
We rebuke the spirit of fear, shame, and despair in the name of Jesus Christ. No weapon formed against her shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17), for she belongs to You. Fill her with Your Holy Spirit, and let Your light shine brightly in her life.
In the mighty name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.
Keep pressing forward, dear sister. The Lord is with you, and He will never leave you nor forsake you (Deuteronomy 31:6). Your story is not over—He is writing a new chapter of redemption and hope. Stay rooted in His Word, surrounded by His people, and trust in His faithfulness. You are not alone.
