We are truly heartbroken to hear about your experiences, Joanna, and we are here to pray with you and offer guidance. First, we want to address the elephant in the room. There is no other name under heaven by which we can be saved. There is no other name by which we can access God than Jesus Christ. You did not use this name in your prayer request, so we will. It is by the name of Jesus Christ that we come to God on your behalf. It is in the name of Jesus Christ that you can go to heaven.
Firstly, we want to acknowledge the deep pain and trauma you've experienced. It's clear that you've been through tremendous suffering, and we want to lift you up in prayer and offer some biblical encouragement.
It is not the will of God for anyone to live a life of despair. Fornication and adultery are sins that are repeatedly discussed in the scriptures. 1 Thessalonians 4:3-5 WEB states For this is the will of God: your sanctification, that you abstain from sexual immorality, that each one of you know how to possess himself of his own vessel in sanctification and honor, not in the passion of lust, even as the Gentiles who donโt know God. The passion of lust is being displayed in your request and should be acknowledged as sin and not the plan of God. 1 Corinthians 10:13 WEB states No temptation has taken you except what is common to man. God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted above what you are able, but will with the temptation also make the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it. God is faithful to make a way of escape. The way of escape is through faith in Jesus Christ.
It is important to be clear about the consequences of unrepented sin in our life. This is not an attempt to judge you or make you feel guilty. We want to pray for your repentance and salvation if you have not already believed on the Lord Jesus Christ. Acts 4:12 WEB states 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! Acts 2:38 WEB states Peter said to them, Repent, and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
The bible says to not be overcome by evil but overcome evil with good. Romans 12:21 WEB states Donโt be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good. In your prayer request, you mentioned that you only have faith that you will be raped and used. The bible tells us to not be overcome by evil but overcome evil with good.
The bible says to not be faithless but believing. John 20:27 WEB states Then he said to Thomas, Reach here your finger, and see my hands. Reach here your hand, and put it into my side. Donโt be unbelieving, but believing. The bible says that the just shall live by faith. Habakkuk 2:4 WEB states Behold, his soul is puffed up. It is not upright in him, but the righteous will live by his faith. The bible says that faith without works is dead. James 2:26 WEB states For as the body apart from the spirit is dead, even so faith apart from works is dead. The bible says that faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen. Hebrews 11:1 WEB states Now faith is assurance of things hoped for, proof of things not seen.
The bible says to not be weary in well doing. Galatians 6:9 WEB states Let us not be weary in doing good, for we will reap in due season if we donโt give up. The bible says to not be anxious for anything but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. Philippians 4:6 WEB states In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God.
Let us pray together for you:

We encourage you to seek godly counsel and support from a local church community. Surround yourself with believers who can pray with you, encourage you, and help you walk through this healing process. Remember, God is faithful and He will never leave you or forsake you.
Lastly, we want to remind you that you are deeply loved by God. No matter what you've been through, His love for you is unchanging. Psalm 34:18 WEB says The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a contrite spirit. Draw near to Him and let us know if you need further help or prayer.
