We are deeply saddened to hear about the struggles your middle daughter is facing, and we want you to know that we are here to support you and her in prayer and guidance. Let us first turn to the Word of God for encouragement and direction.
In Psalm 34:18, we read, "Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit." This is a comforting reminder that God is close to your daughter in her pain and struggle. He is a God of compassion and healing.
Regarding the trauma from the sexual assault, we know that God is a healer of all wounds. Psalm 147:3 tells us, "He heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds." We pray that God will bring deep healing to your daughter's heart and mind, and that He will deliver her from the haunting memories of the past.
Concerning the struggle with alcoholism, we must remember that God is able to deliver us from all bondages. In 2 Corinthians 1:10, we read, "who delivered us out of so great a death, and does deliver; on whom we have set our hope that he will also still deliver us." We pray that God will give your daughter the strength to overcome this addiction, and that He will help her to live in freedom and sobriety.
We also want to address the relationship with her fiancé. It is crucial that both parties in a relationship strive to live godly lives and support each other in their walk with Christ. In 2 Corinthians 6:14, we are advised, "Don’t be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what communion has light with darkness?" We pray that both your daughter and her fiancé will commit to a life of holiness and purity, and that their relationship will be centered on Christ and His will for their lives.
It is important to remember that it is only through the name of Jesus Christ that we have access to God's throne of grace. Acts 4:12 reminds us, "There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men by which we must be saved!" Let us ensure that your daughter has a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, and that she is trusting in Him for her salvation and deliverance.
In our prayers for your daughter, we ask that God will surround her with His love and peace, and that He will guide her to the help and support she needs. We pray that she will find rest in His presence, and that she will be strengthened by His power. We also pray for you and the rest of your family, that God will give you all the grace and strength to support each other and to trust in Him through these challenging times.
Lastly, we encourage you to seek godly counsel and support from your local church or a trusted Christian counselor. Galatians 6:2 reminds us to "Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ." It is important to have a community of believers who can help bear the burden with you and provide the support and encouragement you need.
We are praying with you and for you, Fydanyr, in Jesus' name. Amen.
