Today, we pray for victims of rape, incest and sexual abuse

Lord Jesus, today we bring to You those who were ripped apart in body, mind and spirit by rape, incest or sexual abuse of any kind. Dear God of endless love, ever-present, ever-just, bring healing to these sisters and brothers who faced such breach of trust, shattering pain and needless shame. Soothe their hearts and show them the way to healing, justice and wholeness. May they forgive and experience Your liberating peace from the Holy Spirit. Break the ungodly ties leftover from these acts and remove all traces of shock and trauma, with the Blood of Our Precious Saviour. In Jesus’ most powerful and holy name we pray. Amen.
