Prayers . . . for children

 

RESCUE CHILDREN FROM SEXUAL ABUSE

 

 

Merciful Father, rescue the young girls and boys across this nation who seek love and find abuse instead.  Have pity on them, Lord.  Grant them justice.  Give them the courage to speak up and tell someone the awful things they endure at the hand of an adult who pretends to care about them.  Help the children to be believed, not accused or ignored.  If they tell another child, press that child to speak to a responsible adult.  Give the adult proof of the crime and the courage to save the child .  Place the children in a safe, loving environment where they can lean about healthy human love and about your love, Father.

 

Send people of wisdom to comfort and teach them; normal loving adults to fill their needs.  Don't let the actions of one wicked person twist their lives, instead, let your pure love shine brightly in their hearts.  Heal them completely.  Make them understand an believe they are innocent victims who have no need to feel guilty.  Help them banish the pain brought on when memories flood back by turning over all pain and desires for revenge to you.  When pictures of past abuses flash into their minds, render them impotent and unable to cause emotional turmoil.  Let the children see them as flat black and white photos that have no power.  Help them forgive and look forward to a bright future as your beloved children.  Bless them, Father, In Jesus' name.

  

Amen

 

"He felt great pity for the crowds that came,

because their problems were so great and they didn't know where to go for help."
