Prayers for healing and strength

Beloved of All
I was married for 7 years together for about 10. I had the perfect husband. He was a great father to our baby and a great stepfather to my kids from a previous marriage. My first marriage was horrible and so when I looked at my husband, and the life we had together, I thought God was making up for the years I wasted with my first husband. Well my life changed forever April of 2024. My 13-year-old daughter made an outcry of sexual abuse. When I talked to her she said my husband had been sexually abusing her since she was 8, could have been earlier but that’s when she remembers it. It started when I was pregnant with our baby. It was so sadistic, it was evil, not just the sexual abuse but how he did it, when he did it. I honestly believe he would put sleeping pills in my drinks so I could sleep and he would be free to abuse my daughter. The hurt is unreal. When confronted, my husband shot himself in the head, I found him in his closet, it was traumatic but he survived. My baby, he took her innocence away. I took care of my kids, never brought men around them, never let them spend the night anywhere because I didn’t know what went on in other people’s homes. I would tell him the only time I sleep good is when my kids are home. Turns out the monster was in my home! In my bed! How can a sweet, thoughtful, loving man do something so evil. I need prayers for my daughter to heal from the abuse, I need prayer for my other daughter for losing her father. And for me I need strength to help my kids and prayers so that I can one day forgive my ex-husband like God asks us to forgive.

We are truly heartbroken to hear about the traumatic events that have unfolded in your life. We are here to pray with you and provide biblical encouragement during this difficult time.

Firstly, we want to address the elephant in the room. You did not mention the name of Jesus, Jesus Christ, Christ or even God in your prayer request. It is only through the name of Jesus Christ that we are saved. Let's discuss John 14.6 (WEB), "Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." Also, Acts 4.12 (WEB), "There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved!”

The betrayal and abuse you've described are devastating, and it's important to acknowledge the pain and trauma your family has endured. Psalm 34.18 (WEB) says, "Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit." We pray that you and your daughters find comfort in God's presence during this time.

We commend you for your protective instincts and the care you've shown your children. It's crucial to remember that the blame for these actions lies solely with the perpetrator. It's not your fault, you did not ask for this. You were being faithful to your husband and he violated your trust. We are concerned that no indication of his repentance was mentioned. We pray that he truly repents and turns away from his sin.

It is important to make sure you and your daughters are safe and protected. We ask God to protect your daughters from long term trauma.

Regarding forgiveness, it's a journey that may take time, and it's okay to feel anger and hurt right now.

Ephesians 4.32 (WEB) tells us, "Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you."

Forgiveness does not mean what your husband did is acceptable or that he should not face the consequences of his actions. It means releasing the burden of anger and hate to God, who will ultimately judge.

However, there is no sin or deed committed that is beyond what God can forgive. We pray that your husband will truly repent and turn away from his sin.

Let's pray together:

"Dear Jesus,

We come before you, lifting up this family in their time of deep pain and need. We pray for healing and comfort for the daughters, that they may find peace and restoration in your presence. Help them survive this trauma and lead them in your ways. We ask that you grant the mother the strength to support her children and navigate this difficult journey.

We pray for the ex-husband, that he may truly repent of his sins and turn to you for forgiveness. We also pray for the mother, that in time, she may find it in her heart to forgive, just as you have forgiven us all.

We ask that you surround this family with your love and protection, and guide them through the path of healing and restoration.

Remind them that even in the darkest times, you are always with them, and your light will guide them through.

In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."

Lastly, we encourage you to seek support from your local church community, Christian friends and family. Professional Christian counseling can also be beneficial for you and your daughters during this time. Keep trusting in God, and remember that he is always with you, even in the darkest times. We also urge you to report this to the police for further investigation.

Oh, dear sister, our hearts ache for you and your daughters. We're here, praying with you, for you. We can't imagine the pain and betrayal you've experienced, but we want you to know you're not alone.

We're lifting up your daughter, the one who's been hurt so deeply. We pray for her healing, for her to find comfort and peace in Jesus' loving arms. We ask that God surrounds her with His angels, protecting her from further harm and helping her to find her way back to joy and innocence.

We're also praying for your other daughter, for her to find strength and understanding. We ask that God gives her the grace to forgive, in time, and to find peace in knowing her father is in God's hands.

And for you, dear sister, we pray for strength. Strength to be the rock your daughters need, to navigate this storm together. We ask that God gives you wisdom, patience, and unending love for your children.

We're also praying for your ex-husband. We ask that God opens his eyes to the gravity of his actions, that he truly repents and turns to Jesus for forgiveness. We pray that one day, you too may find it in your heart to forgive, as Jesus forgave us.

Remember, forgiveness doesn't mean what happened is okay. It means letting go of the burden of anger and hate, trusting God to judge. It's a journey, and it's okay to feel angry and hurt right now. But we know God is faithful, and He will guide you every step of the way.

We're here, praying with you, for you. We believe in the power of prayer, and we believe in the power of God to heal, to restore, to make all things new. Trust in Him, dear sister. He's got you, and He's got your daughters.

In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

Thank you for your prayers,
I am here because I do not know how to pray. I am trying to learn, so please forgive my ignorance if Jesus, God was not mentioned in my prayer request.
To answer your question of is my ex-husband repentant, he says he is. He says he asks God everyday why he did what he did. That he doesn’t understand it himself. But he had years to stop, years to repent, and he didn’t. It stopped only when my daughter made the outcry. Police are involved and he is currently awaiting trial, which makes it more distressing for us, to have to relive it all.
