Domestic Violence Prayer

Sister Colleen L. Azubuike
16th District, VI Conference 

Mighty Father, I come to you in prayer as your humble servant asking for your divine touch upon us Oh Lord. As we recognize October as Domestic Violence Awareness Month, many women and men suffer at the hands of abusers Lord! 

Helplessness and hopelessness reigns in their lives. Please give them the courage, wisdom, strength and power to get through this trying time and come out victorious. Help the abused to realize that their life is precious and no one has the right to make them feel inferior for we're all fearfully and wonderfully made. 

Your word in Isaiah 54:17 says that "No weapon formed against us shall prosper." Let no harm come near their dwelling. We believe in your word for it is true. We bind every evil spirit of the enemy that desires to hold your children captive in a life of fear. 

Lord you know every detail of their lives and you know how to provide comfort. We ask you to fill them with power of the Holy Spirit. Help your children realize that you see and you know. During the test, you are present, but quiet. Help us to trust you and not lose faith. 

We pray for the abusers that they come to realize that they're living a life serving the enemy and need to submit to you Lord. Help us to intercede for your people, our fellow brothers and sisters who don't know you. We ask that you would release them from a life of sin, selfishness and pride. We pray for a reversal of unjust situations. We pray that the homes will be a place of refuge and not a place of fear and torment. 

Lord please continue to work in our favor; this we ask in your sweet and precious name, Amen!
