During those moments when hope appears to fade, we must embrace our faith and refuse to yield. We must persist in prayer, confident that God has a grander plan for these innocent lives.

Prayer for abused children (4)

Heavenly Father, we approach Your throne with hearts full of humility, fervently seeking Your boundless mercy for the oppressed and abused children in this world.

As the scriptures remind us in Psalm 82:3, “Defend the weak and the fatherless; uphold the cause of the poor and the oppressed.”

We entreat You to shower Your divine grace upon these mistreated children, surrounding them with a haven of love and security during their darkest hours.

Dear Lord, we implore You to uplift these cherished souls and instill within them a renewed sense of purpose.

As our loving Creator, You are intimately familiar with the anguish and disappointment that weigh upon their hearts.

You comprehend the depths of the pain they confront with every breath they take.

In their moments of despair and doubt, we pray that You grant them the strength to persevere, for You have assured us, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness” (2 Corinthians 12:9).

We beseech You, Almighty God, to fortify these fragile children with the courage to trust in Your unending love during their most vulnerable moments.

May they keep their eyes fixed upon Your divine power, knowing that You are ever ready to deliver them from the hands of their oppressors.

We ask that Your grace reaches out to each and every child facing abuse, allowing the heavens to part and set them free.

In unwavering faith, we declare the healing of their physical, emotional, and mental wounds, trusting in the promise of Isaiah 53:5, “By His wounds, we are healed.”

We recognize the immense power of Jesus’ precious Blood, which liberates us from sin and breaks the enemy’s hold on our lives.

Thus, we invoke the strength of Your Blood to protect and defend these oppressed children.

May Your Blood stand against anyone or any institution that perpetuates the abuse of children, ensuring that those involved find no peace until they repent and abandon their wicked ways.

With hearts brimming with gratitude, we thank You, Father, for hearing our prayers and responding with Your unwavering love and protection.

In the powerful name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.

I will dwell in them.

Our Heavenly Father has made a divine commitment to be ever-present in our lives, offering unwavering comfort and support.

As we lift abused children in prayer, we take solace in the knowledge that God is always with us. The Bible provides inspiration through Deuteronomy 31:6, urging us to “Be strong and courageous.”

This is precisely why faith serves as the bedrock of our spiritual journey. With steadfast belief, we trust that God will intervene and rescue those who feel forsaken and lost.

Our faith enables us to envision a world where those trapped by abuse find freedom, reflecting Jesus’ assurance in John 8:36, “So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.”

God, our relentless protector, perceives the devious designs of the enemy and their cohorts.

Armed with infinite wisdom, He will thwart their schemes and unveil their wicked deeds to the world, bringing justice to the abused.

Psalm 94:9 reinforces this, asking, “Does he who fashioned the ear not hear? Does he who formed the eye not see?”

Heavenly Father, you are my rock and protector, as proclaimed in Psalm 18:2. In times of despair, I find hope in your unending love and grace.

You have shielded me from the enemy’s grasp, standing by my side even during the darkest hours.

I ask the Lord for continued protection over my life. As my refuge, I will seek you and cherish your presence every day of my existence.

Thank you, Lord, for the abundant life and peace you have granted me, as promised in John 10:10. Your gift of life is a treasure that I will cherish eternally.

Today, I plead with you to save the innocent children suffering in darkness, and surround them with your love and protection, as assured in Deuteronomy 31:6.

I humbly beseech you to unleash your almighty power, scattering the enemies’ sinister plans and obliterating their wicked intentions, as prophesied in Isaiah 54:17, “No weapon forged against you will prevail.”

May the enemy’s plots crumble, and their efforts to exploit these vulnerable children be met with defeat.

Lord, set free the abused children, drawing them into the comfort of your loving embrace.

I fervently pray for wisdom and understanding for parents who inflict harm upon their children.

Bestow upon them the discernment to recognize their misdeeds and the strength to change their ways, guided by the wisdom of Proverbs 22:6, “Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old, they will not turn from it.”

Lord, I lift up the oppressed children who have lost faith in you amidst their pain.

Shower them with your grace, unveiling the brighter future you have envisioned for them, as Jeremiah 29:11 reassures us of your plan to provide hope and a prosperous outcome.

Enlighten them with the knowledge that your ways surpass human understanding, as declared in Isaiah 55:8-9, “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the Lord.”

In the depths of despair, grant them the patience to trust in your grand design for their lives.

Lord, I pray that you ease their burdens, ensuring they have sustenance, shelter, and clothing.

Provide for them even in the midst of persecution, as Matthew 6:26 reminds us of your unwavering care, “Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?”

Above all, Lord, I pray for an escape from the enemy’s malevolent schemes.

Deliver them from their oppressors and shield them from all harm, as Psalm 34:17 promises, “The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears them; he delivers them from all their troubles.”

Thank you for answered prayers and boundless mercy. Amen.
