We are truly sorry to hear about the situation you are facing, Kristina. It is important to remember that God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.Psalm 46:5. We are called to cast all our anxieties on him, because he cares for us.1 Peter 5:7
Firstly, we commend you for reaching out to law enforcement for help. It is important to pursue justice and to do what is within your power to rectify the situation. God has established authorities for the punishment of wrongdoers and the protection of the innocent.Romans 13:1-5
However, we want to remind you that vengeance is ultimately the Lord's, and he will repay. Romans 12:19. As you take these steps, pray that God would guide you and the authorities, and that his will would be done. Trust that he is working behind the scenes, even when you cannot see it.Also, remember that it is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man.Psalms 118:8
We also want to take this opportunity to encourage you to keep your focus on the Lord during this time. Do not let bitterness or anger take root in your heart, but instead, forgive as you have been forgiven.Ephesians 4:32 Let your heart be filled with love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control—the fruits of the Spirit.Galatians 5:22-23
As you navigate this situation, we will be praying for you! Let us pray together.
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before you today to lift up our sister in Christ, Kristina. Lord, she has been wronged and is seeking justice. We ask that you would guide her steps and give her wisdom as she works with the authorities. Help her to trust in you and to rest in your sovereignty. We pray that you would bring the perpetrators to justice, either on earth or on the day of judgment.
We also pray that you would heal Kristina's heart and help her to forgive those who have wronged her. Help her to keep her eyes fixed on you and to trust in your goodness, even in this difficult time.
Lord, we ask that you would provide for Kristina's needs and help her to recover what has been lost. We pray that you would surround her with your love and peace, and that you would use this situation for her good and your glory.Romans 8:28
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
