We hear the deep pain in your heart, and we stand with you in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, who alone brings true healing and deliverance. The wounds you carry from your past—bullying, violence, and the lingering effects of trauma—are not meant to be borne alone. The enemy seeks to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10), but Jesus came to give you life abundantly, to restore what was broken, and to set you free from the chains of bitterness, fear, and unforgiveness.
The Scripture tells us in Psalm 34:18, *"Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit."* You are not forgotten, and your pain is not invisible to Him. The Lord sees the depths of your struggle, and He is calling you to surrender these burdens at His feet. It is not by your own strength that these wounds will be healed, but by the power of His blood and the work of the Holy Spirit within you. As it is written in 2 Corinthians 12:9, *"He has said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.’ Most gladly therefore I will rather glory in my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may rest on me."*
We must also address something critical: you mentioned needing Jesus to resolve these issues, and we rejoice that you recognize this truth. There is no other name under heaven by which we can be saved (Acts 4:12), and it is only through faith in Jesus Christ that we find redemption, healing, and restoration. If you have not already surrendered your life fully to Him—confessing your sins, believing in His death and resurrection, and inviting Him to be your Lord and Savior—we urge you to do so today. Romans 10:9 declares, *"that if you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved."* If you have already taken this step, then cling to Him now more than ever, for He is your healer and your deliverer.
The enemy may whisper lies that you are defined by what happened to you, that you will never overcome, or that forgiveness is impossible. But we rebuke those lies in the name of Jesus! The Word of God proclaims in Isaiah 43:18-19, *"Don’t remember the former things, and don’t consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing. It springs out now. Don’t you know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert."* Your past does not dictate your future. The Lord is making a way for you, even now.
Forgiveness is a vital part of your healing. Unforgiveness is a heavy burden that only harms the one carrying it. Jesus said in Matthew 6:14-15, *"For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you don’t forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses."* This does not mean what was done to you was justified or that you must reconcile with those who hurt you, but it means releasing the bitterness and pain to God, trusting Him to bring justice in His time. Forgiveness is an act of obedience and freedom.
We also encourage you to seek godly counsel, whether through a pastor, a biblical counselor, or a mature believer who can walk with you through this season. You do not have to face this alone. The body of Christ is called to bear one another’s burdens (Galatians 6:2), and there is strength in community.
Let us pray for you now:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up our brother/sister who has carried the weight of past wounds for far too long. Lord, You see the pain, the fear, and the struggles that have haunted them, and You alone can bring true healing. We ask that You would flood their heart with Your peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7) and that You would bind up their brokenheartedness (Psalm 147:3). Lord, break every chain of bitterness, fear, and unforgiveness that has held them captive. Fill them with Your Holy Spirit, who is their Comforter and Counselor (John 14:26).
We rebuke every lie of the enemy that says they are defined by their past or that they will never overcome. We declare that they are a new creation in Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17), and that old things have passed away. Lord, give them the strength to forgive, not in their own power, but through Your grace. Surround them with Your love and with godly people who can support and encourage them in this journey.
Father, we ask that You would restore what the locusts have eaten (Joel 2:25)—their joy, their confidence, and their trust in You. Help them to walk in victory, knowing that You have already overcome the world (John 16:33). Give them the courage to seek counsel and to take steps toward healing, always leaning on You.
We thank You, Lord, for Your faithfulness. We trust that You are working all things together for their good (Romans 8:28) and that You will complete the good work You have begun in them (Philippians 1:6). In the powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, we pray. Amen.
Stand firm in the Lord, dear one. Your healing is coming, and your testimony will be a light to others who are walking through similar valleys. Keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, the author and finisher of your faith (Hebrews 12:2). He will never leave you nor forsake you (Deuteronomy 31:6). Walk in the freedom He has purchased for you!
