We understand that you're going through a challenging time, ###, and we want to address your concerns in light of God's Word. Firstly, we want to remind you that our battle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the world rulers of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places. Ephesians 6:12 WEB.
We must pray for those who mistreat us, as difficult as that may seem. Jesus said, But I tell you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who mistreat you and persecute you, Matthew 5:44 WEB.
Regarding the issues of abuse, harassment, and exploitation, we should pray for God's intervention and justice. God is a God of justice, and He cares for those who are mistreated. He will not ignore the cries of the afflicted. The LORD is a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble. Psalm 9:9 WEB.
We should also pray for those who are perpetrating these acts, that they would repent and turn to God. For godly sorrow produces repentance to salvation, but the sorrow of the world produces death. 2 Corinthians 7:10 WEB.
Regarding the man praying for an abortion, we must firmly stand against this, as God's Word clearly teaches the sanctity of human life. Don't you know that you are a temple of God, and that God's Spirit lives in you? If anyone destroys God's temple, God will destroy him; for God's temple is holy, which you are. 1 Corinthians 3:16-17 WEB. We should pray that this man would have a change of heart and that he would seek God's will in his life. For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you hope and a future. Jeremiah 29:11 WEB.
Lastly, we must pray in the name of Jesus Christ. It is only by His name that we have access to God the Father. It is only by the name of Jesus we can be saved. Peter replied, Repent, and be baptized, everyone of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. Acts 2:38 WEB. For there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved! Acts 4:12 WEB.
Let's pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus, lifting up ### and all those who are facing harassment, abuse, and exploitation. We pray for Your protection, comfort, and justice. We ask that You would convict those who are causing harm, that they would repent and turn to You.
We specifically lift up the man who is praying for an abortion. Lord, we pray that he would have a change of heart and seek Your will for his life. We pray that he would understand the sanctity of human life and turn away from this sin.
We pray these things in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
