I have a niece who has been molested at age six. She is now 14 years old and attempted suicide twice in the past six months. I don't believe she intends to kill herself as the methods she has used has not been successful, (a bottle of tylenol once and windex the second time). She has also recently lost her Grandmother who passed away to heart failure (she was very close to). Her household situation is very chaotic, there is no father in her life and never has been(he left before birth). Her mothert, my sister has some mental challenges and is not much help to her daughter. At this point (living in a completely different state) I feel completely helpless. I love her dearly and know that she has her whole life ahead of her. She needs to be set free from the bondage of the guilt, shame and hopelessness I can only imagine she feels.
I have never been molested and never experienced what she has gone through but I know many young women have. So I have a favor to ask of you who read this (if the Lord puts it on your heart) would you mind praying for her "Sharay" and possibly writing your prayer or words of encouragement in this forum, so that I might be able to print it out or forward it to her.
Thank you and may the Lord bless you in advance,
Linda

Sharay, I had a tough life as a girl. Real tough. Some of the same things you have gone through. I understand a little of what you are going through, so I want to talk to G-d about it.
My L-rd and my Savior, You know what this is all about. You know the hard things Sharay has gone through. You know the losses in her life and the hopeless feelings that grip. But I know You -- You are a Savior who loves, who desires our success, who sees our talents and encourages them, who sees our failures and loves us anyway. So I am coming to you about Sharay. Sharay, a girl who was created to have potential, and that potential, although it is marred and hurt right now, still is there and is still reachable.
I ask you, then, to hold Sharay up in this difficult time. Lift her up. Give her people who actually love her just because they love her. Help her to find some adult she can confide in who won't hurt her. I ask you to protect and keep her. Make her wise. Help her to ask daily for Your wisdom -- the wisdom from You, that will guide her in the right path.
Then help her to see her potential through your eyes, and help her to make goals that she holds onto no matter what turmoil, what junk, is around her. Help her to put her eyes on that goal and never take them off that goal. She can be what You created her to be in You, no matter what, so help her to strive for that first in all she does.
I have given You a big request, but there is nothing too hard for You, because You are G-d, our Creator. I know You can answer this prayer, and that Sharay can do all things through you. Thank you. Thank you. In Your Name.

Heavenly Father...I praise you for the privilege of praying tonight for Sharay. Lord God, you've asked me to respond to the need of prayer for this 14 old, Sharay. My heart aches for her. For you know Lord that childhood abuse repeatedly happened to me, too, by more than one person. Lord, I know without doubt that you love her, and that the shame she feels is NOT her fault, because it is not her shame, it is the her abuser, no matter what the enemy, the devil wants her to believe. He tried to destroy me, too. I believed the lies...which took me down a destructive path. And Lord you lifted me out of that path. And freed me from the lies that held me captive. The pit of shame, denial and self-worth that I believed about me.
I cannot praise you enough, Lord Jesus, for releasing me from that bondage of shame and hopelessness, of self-hatred and lies that brought me down for years. You saw my needs to be healed of this. You taught me how to forgive, even the one who repeatedly abused me, and for those who refused to believe me. You set me free! I know without doubt...you want to set Sharay free, too! Lord, help her to accept the fact that she IS of great worth! That she, too, CAN BE SET FREE, of this captivity.
I pray, Sharay will come to know you, Lord Jesus in a real way. That she, too, would pray to you, and by faith believe the sacrifice you gave for her and all those whose hearts are in despair from sin that has deeply hurt them. Sharay is precious in your sight. Let us be reminded that you hate the sin that happened to her, and that you want to take the burden (load of false guilt) away once and for all....You have a plan for Sharay's life, that needs to be fulfilled in you, Lord Jesus. A plan that will bring her a new life, she never thought possible...Thank you Lord Jesus.

Lord Jesus, You too know the pain of being abused. You too know the betrayal. And You are the answer to all our problems.
Thank You Jesus for loving Sharay so much, for comforting her and providing for her PEACE and HOPE. I pray, O Father in Heaven, in the name of Jesus, that Sharay comes to know Jesus as the greatest friend to have who is faithful and trustworthy. Please, LORD, let Sharay know that You are the Shepherd, the Father, who leads her to peacefulness, and that You will restore her soul. Then she will have victory and shout Your praises forevermore!

Linda, I know the pain.
Dear Father, You know how our hearts brake for this presious child. Father, lift her up, heal the wounds cased by this and all the other things that have happened in her life. Help her forgive herself. To know this is not her fault. To be able to forgive the one(s) who hurt her. Help her to know that she is just as precious to You. That You love her so very much. Help her to turn to You for the comfort and healing and she so dearly needs. Help Sharay to understand that You will never leave her or hurt her. Be the loving father, that she never had here on earth, but You are our eternal Father, who loves us more than we can even know or understand. Help Sharay to feel this love. Guide her, help her, heal her, and bless her Lord. Thank You for all that You will do. In Jesus name. Amen

Father God,
Thank You for loving me. It is so beautiful to realize You are with me even when I'm not likiing myself, when I've done something stupid, when I feel so alone and that there is no purpose for me being around. You help such feelings go away quickly. You remind me that I'm drowning in my own negatives, and You lift me up, out of my pity party. You restore my joy in living. There's always another cookie to eat, and someone to call and ask how they are doing.
I pray for someone just several years older than my oldest neice, Lord. Her name is Sharay. She's had a tough life, Lord, and she's supposed to be so far away from any School of Hard Knocks yet. She's got some real persistent pain and frustration stealing her joy. Those who can care for her most sometimes seem that they aren't close by at all, though she knows that's not by their choice. She doesn't want to be a burden to anyone, and sometimes she runs out of tears and doesnt' know what to do to be free of it all.
Father God, please comfort Sharay in the days to come. Help her to realize just how real You are, and that You love her and find beauty in her being who she is. Lift her up out of her sorrows, and show her who she can be for You, no matter what may happen.
I pray this in the precious name of Jesus,
Amen

Lord, please be with Sharay at this time. Comfort her and help renew her spirit in light of the trauma that has been inflicted upon her. Please take away the shame and the pain of the molestation from earlier in her life, and help her to be able to forgive those who did this to her and to move past that experience. Bring her closer to you, Lord, and show her that she is not alone in this world. Help her to understand how important she is to everyone around her and give her the guidance in this life that she lacks.
Lord God, your Son was the perfect shepherd who gathered and protected his flock from the wolves. Please look upon this lost lamb, Sharay, and let Him guide her into your loving world so that she might realize your true glory and find peace for herself with your aid. I ask this in the name of the Risen Lord, Jesus Christ.
Amen.
