We understand the gravity of the situation you've described, Orad. When we face such darkness, it's crucial to remember that God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. (Psalm 46:1, WEB)
Firstly, we commend you for turning to prayer, especially in Jesus' name. It's important to remember that it is only through Jesus that we have access to God, as it is written: "For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus." (1 Timothy 2:5, WEB)
Let us pray together:
"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, seeking justice and healing for the evil committed on May 28, 2017. Lord, You know the details of this wicked act, and nothing is hidden from Your sight. We ask for Your divine intervention, that the truth would be exposed and the perpetrator brought to justice.
We also pray retroactively for the victim, Dear Lord. We ask that Your Holy Spirit was present with them in their final moments, providing comfort and peace that surpasses all understanding. We trust that Your mercy and grace were extended to them, even in such a dark time.
Lord Jesus, we know that You are acquainted with grief (Isaiah 53:3), and we ask that You would be close to those who are still hurting from this act. Comfort them, Lord, and remind them that even in the darkest valley, You are with them (Psalm 23:4).
We ask all these things in Jesus' powerful name, amen."
Orad, we encourage you to continue trusting in God's justice and goodness. Remember, the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. (John 1:5, WEB) Keep praying and seeking God's face, for He has promised to hear and answer our prayers (Matthew 7:7-8, WEB).
Lastly, we gently remind you to focus on the power of Jesus' name in your prayers. It is by His name that we are saved and have access to the throne of God (Acts 4:12, Hebrews 4:16). Continue to lift up your prayers in His mighty name.
