“Dear Heavenly Father,
Thank you for creating us in your image. Thank you for showing all of us the unconditional love that all earthly fathers were instructed to model. You have shown us proper discipline will reap rewards and a harvest in the future of our children.
We are standing against a heavy and ugly issue. Hurting and abusing children is not in your will, you speak against breaking the spirit of a child, and we know that words and physical wounds can create serious damage that can last a lifetime.
Lord, please be with ____________ and her family. ______________ is closing him/her off from reaching out to the ones that can help him/her most and we ask that you step in with the power of God to cover that child from further harm. I plead the blood of Jesus over ___________________, and I ask that the fear of the Lord rise up against_____________________.
Lord, show _______________ wickedness in visions and dreams. Let the conscience that you have given him/her be pricked by _________________’s actions. Give __________________ the proper vision to see his/her daughter the way that you do. Let _________________ feel the pain inflicted upon himself/herself every time ___________ even thinks of raising a hand or lashing out in anger with words against________________________.
Lord, humble____________________ down to the depths that he/she needs to go. Give_______________________ the strength to rely on you so he/she can take care of his family the way _________________ should have from the start. Allow the wisdom of your word to be the way of life for this family.
Give ___________________ hope in you, and allow this ugly memory be erased from the mind of ________________ after _____________receives complete healing. Lord, provide healing in all the places of ________________’s mind, body and soul. Allow a complete restoration with your glory light.
Lord, you will Bring this family through this temporary trial. You will bless_________________________ with the wisdom of God right now. Allow _______________ to know what to do, and when to do it to properly protect this child and get this family the help they need. Give ____________________ the strength to follow your exact instructions. Hide this child and the ones coming to his/her aid under the secret place of the Most High; under the shadow of the Almighty wings of you, In Jesus’ precious name, Amen.”
If you or someone you know is being abused in any form, do not use prayer as a substitute for getting help. We, at shalombewithyou.com recommend prayer in addition to getting help. Reach out to someone safe who will assist you in protecting yourself. If you notice someone else who is being abused, seek guidance on how to help that person from a certified abuse counselor.
