We are truly sorry to hear about the struggle your daughter is facing. Firstly, we want to assure you that we are lifting her up in prayer, and we trust that God is with her in this difficult time. It's important to remember that God is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit Psalm 34:18 WEB.
Let's pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You today in Jesus' name, lifting up our sister who is going through a tremendously difficult time. Lord, You know the pain and suffering she is experiencing following the abusive relationship. We ask that You would touch her, heal her, and protect her life. Surround her with Your angels, Lord, and keep her from all harm.
Father, we ask that You would grant her new wisdom and discernment as she moves forward. Help her to make godly choices and to seek Your will for her life. Surround her with new, better people who will support her and be a positive influence on her. Help her to find a godly community that will encourage her and help her to grow in her faith.
Lord, we also pray for her former fiancé, that You would work in his heart and bring conviction and repentance. We pray that he would seek Your face and find salvation in You.
Father, we ask all of these things in Jesus' name, knowing that it is only by His name that we have access to You. As it is said in Acts 4:12 WEB, 'There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved.' We believe Jesus is the only way to You.
Now, let's talk about how you can support your daughter during this time. It's crucial to encourage her to seek godly counsel and to surround herself with believers who will uplift and encourage her.
Galatians 6:2 WEB tells us to Bear one another's burdens, and thus fulfill the law of Christ.
Remind her of God's unfailing love for her and that He has a good plan for her life. Encourage her to pray and to read God's Word daily, allowing His truth to renew her mind and heal her heart.
Lastly, be aware that an abusive relationship is forbidden in scripture. Relationships that are sinful, exploitive, or abusive should be avoided at all costs.
1 Corinthians 15:33 WEB
Don't be deceived. Evil companionships corrupt good morals.
Ephesians 5:11 WEB
Have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather even reprove them.
