We come before the Lord with heavy hearts, lifting up this dear soul who is carrying the weight of past abuse and trauma. Father God, we know that You see every tear, every moment of weakness, and every battle fought in silence. The pain of abuse leaves deep wounds, but we declare that You are the God who heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds (Psalm 147:3). We ask for a fresh outpouring of Your strength and resilience upon this beloved child of Yours.
Lord, Your Word tells us that those who wait upon You shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint (Isaiah 40:31). We pray this promise over this precious one, that as they wait on You, their strength would be renewed day by day. Let them feel Your presence like a mighty fortress, a refuge in times of trouble (Psalm 9:9). When the memories and pain threaten to overwhelm, remind them that You are near to the brokenhearted and save those who are crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18).
We also rebuke the lies of the enemy that may be whispering shame, worthlessness, or fear into this heart. Satan comes only to steal, kill, and destroy, but Jesus came that we might have life and have it abundantly (John 10:10). We declare that no weapon formed against this one shall prosper, and every tongue that rises against them in judgment, You shall condemn (Isaiah 54:17). We pray for a breaking of every chain of trauma, that the power of Christ would set this soul free from the grip of the past.
Father, we ask for godly counsel and support to surround this one—believers who will speak truth, pray fervently, and walk alongside them in love. Let them not isolate themselves but find comfort in the body of Christ, where burdens are shared and carried together (Galatians 6:2). We also pray for wisdom in seeking professional help if needed, for You give wisdom generously to all who ask (James 1:5).
Above all, Lord, we pray that this dear one would draw ever closer to You. Let them find their identity not in what was done to them, but in who You say they are—a beloved child of God, fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14). May they experience Your peace that surpasses all understanding, guarding their heart and mind in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7).
We stand in agreement, believing that You are working all things together for good for those who love You and are called according to Your purpose (Romans 8:28). Strengthen this one, Lord, and let them rise up in the power of Your might, knowing that greater is He who is in them than he who is in the world (1 John 4:4). In the mighty name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.
