We hear your cry for renewed strength and resilience as you face the deep wounds of abuse and trauma. The pain you carry is real, and the journey toward healing is not easy, but we stand with you in prayer, trusting in the God who sees your suffering and promises to restore what has been broken. The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18). He does not leave you to walk this path alone.
Father in Heaven, we come before You with heavy hearts, lifting up this dear one who has endured so much. You are the God who heals the broken and binds up their wounds (Psalm 147:3). We ask that You would pour out Your strength upon them, renewing their spirit day by day. When they are weak, Lord, be their strength. When they are weary, be their rest. When the memories and pain threaten to overwhelm, remind them that You are their refuge and fortress (Psalm 91:2).
We pray against the lies of the enemy that seek to keep them in bondage—lies that tell them they are unworthy, unloved, or beyond healing. In Jesus’ name, we rebuke those deceptions and declare the truth of Your Word over them: "The Lord is my light and my salvation—whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life—of whom shall I be afraid?" (Psalm 27:1). You have not given them a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7).
Lord, we ask that You would bring godly counsel and support into their life—people who will speak truth, offer comfort, and walk alongside them in this season. Surround them with Your love in tangible ways, reminding them that they are seen, known, and deeply cherished by You. Help them to forgive those who have harmed them, not because what was done was right, but because forgiveness is the path to freedom (Colossians 3:13). We know this is a process, Lord, and we ask that You would give them the grace to take each step as You lead.
Above all, we pray that their identity would be rooted in Christ. Remind them that they are not defined by what was done to them, but by who You say they are: chosen, redeemed, and deeply loved (1 Peter 2:9). May they find their strength in You, knowing that those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength; they will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint (Isaiah 40:31).
We trust You, Lord, to complete the good work You have begun in them (Philippians 1:6). Heal their heart, restore their joy, and fill them with Your peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7). In the mighty name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.
