Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You with hearts heavy with the pain and suffering of our dear friend who has endured severe abuse from family and an ex-husband. Lord, You are our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1). We ask You to surround this precious soul with Your love and protection.
Father, You know the depths of this person's situation, and we trust in Your justice and mercy. Your Word says, "The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart and saves those who have a crushed spirit" (Psalm 34:18). We pray that You draw near and bring comfort and healing to this wounded heart.
Send Your strongest angels, Lord, to guard and protect this individual from further harm. As it is written, "For he will give his angels charge over you, to guard you in all your ways" (Psalm 91:11). May Your divine protection be a shield around this person.
We ask for justice to be served, Lord, as You are a God of righteousness and justice. "For the Lord loves justice and doesn’t forsake his saints" (Psalm 37:28). May the truth come to light, and may there be a resolution that brings peace and closure.
Grant this person the peace that surpasses all understanding, as promised in Philippians 4:7: "The peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus."
In Jesus' mighty and compassionate name, we pray. Amen.
