One-third of women around the world say they have been physically abused, coerced into sex, or otherwise abused sometime in their lifetime. - Source: The Family Violence Prevention Fund
From RTF:
If you are currently being abused physically or sexually, please tell someone. If they don’t listen, tell someone else until they do.
May I pray for you today?
Father, I pray that you will lead this teen to the right person who will not only listen, but act with courage and speed. I pray that you will show this teen her worth, her value in your eyes as your precious daughter. Be the Father image that she needs — not necessarily that which has been presented to her. I ask that healing and direction begin today. In Jesus name. Amen.
