Domestic Abuse

DOMESTIC ABUSE PRAYER

Our Father Who is in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thank You for Your love, care, and faithfulness. This prayer is for abusers, the abused, and those who can help in the matters of domestic abuse.

For abusers:

Lord, Your hand is not shortened that it cannot save; neither Your ear heavy, that it cannot hear. Father, we know that nothing is impossible with You. Draw, please, abusers by Your marvelous love, grace, forgiveness and mercy. Many of them have been abused themselves. Their souls cry out for help but they do not know how to slay the demonic that resides within them. Minister to them, please Father, and quell their inner storms. Reach to the deepness of them and penetrate them to the core of their being and free them from their dark existences. Your Word teaches us Your realities and one of Your realities is that not all shall be saved. I pray this prayer from what JESUS stated in John 17:9, "I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine." Pull their miserable souls, Father, out of the fire.

For the abused:

Father, there is much pain, fear and hurt in the lives of the abused. I call upon You, please, to rescue people from abuse. Expose and rebuke their abusers and if they do not forsake their abuses, let justice prevail. Save the abused and give them hearts after Yours. Let them come to You, Lord, with tears flowing so that You can wipe their sobs away. Bind up their wounds and let healing manifest and free them from their horrors. Prove to them that You can minister to their every need in gigantic proportions. Teach them to forgive for indeed there is freedom in forgiveness. Build them up Lord because for so long they have been torn down. Send people to love on them - they need rich relationships. Give them the hope of glory and the peace that passes all understanding. Assure them that You are their rescuer, deliverer, strong tower, shield and buckler. Envelop them in Your secure embrace.

For those who can help:

Father, please move upon people to help those who are captive in abuse situations. Give sensitivity training to people to reach out to those who live in shame, fear, and rage. Help people to get understanding about domestic abuse. Provide people with skill sets to make major differences in the lives of those who are bound. You are holy, Father, and You have holy people who can dismantle the wicked devices of Satan. You have people who can do warfare against the forces of darkness. We walk in the light and our lights need to be burning. We are not to be as the Levite and the Priest who passed by the one in need. (Luke 10:33). Your Word commands us in Galatians 6:2, "Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ." Let us do it, Lord, according to Your Word. It is our duty as Your vessels of honor.

I decree Lord that You will answer this prayer in manifold ways with bountiful evidence to manifest - because that is your signature style.

Thank you, Lord, - Amen.
