DAY 36: Tuesday, November 5
TOPIC: Abused and the Abusive
SCRIPTURE:
He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds. Psalm 147:3
OBSERVATION:
Today, we are mindful of those who have suffered abuse, often burdened with shame, fear, and anger. It's crucial to provide them a safe space for healing. We must also consider the abusers, understanding that addressing their underlying issues is essential for breaking the cycle of harm.
PRAYER:
Father, we lift those who have been abused--those feeling isolated, silenced, and afraid. Grant them the courage and strength to seek help, knowing that only You can fully heal them. Use us as instruments of Your love and care in their healing journey. We also pray for their abusers: You, as the true light, please illuminate the darkness within them and guide them to turn their lives over to You, breaking the cycle of abuse. Amen
