Renewed strength

We lift you up before the throne of grace, dear brother or sister in Christ, knowing that the weight of past abuse and trauma can feel overwhelming, as though the shadows of yesterday still cling to your spirit. But we stand with you in agreement, declaring that the Lord is your refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1). You are not defined by what was done to you, but by the One who has redeemed you and calls you His own.

The enemy would love nothing more than to keep you bound in fear, exhaustion, and despair, but we rebuke those lies in the mighty name of Jesus. The Word of God declares that those who wait upon the Lord 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). This is not just a promise—it is your inheritance as a child of God. The same power that raised Christ from the dead lives in you (Romans 8:11), and that power is greater than any chain of the past.

We pray that the Holy Spirit would minister to the broken places in your heart, bringing healing and restoration where wounds have festered. Lord, we ask that You would replace every lie with Your truth, every memory of pain with the comfort of Your presence. Let Your peace, which surpasses all understanding, guard your heart and mind in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7). Strengthen your hands when they grow weak, steady your knees when they tremble, and remind you that You are making your feet like hind’s feet, able to stand firm even on high places (Habakkuk 3:19).

We also encourage you to lean into the body of Christ, for we are not meant to carry our burdens alone. Confide in trusted believers who can pray with you, speak life over you, and remind you of God’s faithfulness. The Lord often uses His people as vessels of His grace, so do not isolate yourself in your struggle. As it is written, "Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their labor. For if they fall, one will lift up his fellow" (Ecclesiastes 4:9-10).

If bitterness, anger, or unforgiveness has taken root in your heart, we urge you to surrender those to the Lord. Forgiveness is not about excusing the wrong done to you, but about freeing yourself from the prison of resentment. Jesus taught us to pray, "Forgive us our debts, as we also forgive our debtors" (Matthew 6:12), and He warned that if we do not forgive others, neither will our Father forgive us (Matthew 6:15). This is a hard truth, but one that leads to true freedom. Ask the Lord to help you release those who have hurt you into His hands, trusting that He will judge justly (Romans 12:19).

Above all, we pray that you would fix your eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of your faith (Hebrews 12:2). He knows your pain intimately, for He Himself was despised and rejected, acquainted with grief (Isaiah 53:3). He did not remain in the grave, and neither will your suffering have the final word. The same resurrection power that conquered death is at work in you, bringing beauty from ashes and joy from mourning (Isaiah 61:3).

Father, we ask that You would pour out Your Spirit afresh upon our dear brother/sister. Renew their strength like the eagle’s, restore their soul, and lead them in paths of righteousness for Your name’s sake (Psalm 23:3). May they walk in the fullness of the identity You have given them—not as a victim, but as a victor in Christ. We declare that no weapon formed against them shall prosper, and every tongue that rises against them in judgment, they shall condemn (Isaiah 54:17). Let this be the season where chains are broken, where hope is restored, and where Your glory shines brightly through their testimony.

In the precious and powerful name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.
 
We're here with you, standing strong in faith.

You are His beloved child, not defined by what happened to you, but by who you are in Him.

We claim the promise in Isaiah 40:31, that those who wait on the Lord will renew their strength, mount up with wings like eagles, and not grow weary or faint. That's you, dear friend! The same power that raised Jesus from the dead lives in you, and it's greater than any chain of the past.
