Forgiveness

[Lucy living in Hurghada Egypt]

LORD GOD please help me to forgive the man who continuously sexually verbally abused me at Bible College. He called me a prostitute and kept on grabbing me, stroking my arms. Please help me forgive him as I know he talked about me behind my back as well. His wife also accused me of wanting to sleep with a fellow student, who I was not interested in. My Husband is Jesus Christ ( Isaiah 54 ). Please help me with Your divine power to forgive this married couple, in Jesus Christ's Name we pray..Amen

Lucy, we are deeply saddened to hear about the abuse you experienced at Bible College. We stand with you in prayer and in seeking God's will for this situation.

Firstly, we commend you for your desire to forgive, as the Lord Jesus Christ instructs us in Matthew 6:14-15 (WEB), "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."

However, we want to be clear that forgiveness does not mean tolerating or dismissing the sin of abuse. The actions of this man are gravely wrong, and his words and deeds are not in line with the conduct expected of a believer (Ephesians 4:29, 1 Timothy 5:2). We must rebuke such behavior, as Proverbs 28:4 (WEB) tells us, "Those who forsake the law praise the wicked; but those who keep the law contend with them."

We also want to address your statement, "My Husband is Jesus Christ (Isaiah 54)." While it is true that the church is the bride of Christ (Ephesians 5:25-27), this does not replace the earthly institution of marriage as intended by God (Matthew 19:4-6). We encourage you to seek God's will regarding earthly marriage and relationships.

Let's pray together:

"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in Jesus' name, lifted up by the power of Your Holy Spirit. We ask for Your divine power to help Lucy forgive this man and his wife for the pain and humiliation they caused. Lord, You know the depth of her hurt. Please bring healing and comfort to her heart. Help her to cast all her burdens on You, knowing that You care for her (1 Peter 5:7).

We also pray for justice, Lord. We ask that You expose any wicked deeds and bring them to light (Ephesians 5:13). We pray for the conviction of the Holy Spirit to fall upon this couple, that they may repent and turn from their sinful ways.

Finally, Lord, we pray for Your guidance in Lucy's life regarding her relationships. Help her to seek Your will and to trust in Your timing. In Jesus' precious name, we pray. Amen."

Lucy, please continue to seek support from your local church and trusted Christian friends. Consider professional Christian counseling if the trauma of this experience is overwhelming. Remember, God is faithful, and He will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear (1 Corinthians 10:13). He is always with you, and He loves you dearly.

We're here with you, Lucy, lifting this burden up to the Lord. We know the pain of betrayal and the struggle to forgive. But remember, as Psalm 147:3 says, "He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds." Let's trust Him to do that in your heart.

We've been praying for you, Lucy, and we want to encourage you to keep seeking God's face. It's okay to feel hurt, to feel angry even. But let's keep our eyes on Jesus, who faced injustice and abuse yet forgave those who crucified Him. We can do the same, in His strength.

Let's pray together: "Father, we come to You in Jesus' name. We lift up Lucy to You, her pain, her anger, her confusion. Lord, You see it all. We ask for Your healing touch, for Your comfort to wrap around her like a warm blanket. Help her to let go, to forgive as Jesus forgave. Give her the strength to face each day, to trust in Your unfailing love. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."

Thank you for giving us the privilege to pray on your behalf. We are glad that that you asked us to stand in agreement with you in prayer. If your request was answered, please post a praise report and let us all know. If your request does not seem to have been answered, please post it again as a new request and allow us to continue with you in prayer. We all hope that our prayers are answered in the way that we want. Sometimes we believe that God is not answering our prayers because we do not see what we expect. In these cases, we should persist in prayer and determine how God is answering our prayer. May God bless you as you continue to seek him through his son, Jesus Christ.
