Prayer for Survivors of Abuse
God of endless love,
ever caring, ever strong, always present, always just:
You gave your only Son
to save us by His blood on the Cross.
Gentle Jesus, shepherd of peace,
join to yur own suffering
the pain of all who have been hurt
in body, mind, and spirit,
by those who betrayed the trust placed in them.
Hear the cries of our brothers and sisters
who have been gravely harmed,
and the cries of htose who love them.
Soothe their restless hearts with hope,
steady their shaken spirits with faith.
Grant them justice for their cause,
enlightened by your truth.
Holy Spirit, comforter of hearts,
heal your people’s wounds
and transform brokenness into wholeness.
Grant us the courage and wisdom, humility and grace,
to act with justice.
Breathe wisdom into our prayers and labours.
Grant that all harmed by abuse may find peace in justice.
We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
