As we think about January being the “month” to talk about Human Trafficking and those who endured trauma due to Jeffery Epstein, I pray Lord Jesus that you open up people’s minds, spirits and hearts to understand that Human Trafficking does not just happen in January. It happens EVERY day in EVERY town, in EVERY city, in EVERY country, and in EVERY neighborhood in America.
Countless people are silenced by those committing horrendous deeds on the most vulnerable who do not understand they are victims of sex or labor trafficking.
Lord Jesus, OPEN our eyes to see EVIL and find ways to EXPOSE the DARKNESS. Pray that we can get into our schools and churches to give people the tools they need to prevent this awful crime from happening to our most vulnerable population…children.
2 Timothy 1:7 (King James Bible)
“For God hath not given us the spirit of fear, but of power, and of love and of a SOUND mind.
Survivors KNOW their truth and are easily frustrated by those who try to silence them.
Guide those, Lord, who have endured any form of trafficking at the hands of those perpetrating EVIL, like those who were exploited by Epstein. We pray they get help from those who are safe and meet them where they are at with Christ’s unfailing love.
Lord Jesus, give all trafficking survivors a peace that passes all understanding
Philippians 4:7 (NIV)
“And the peace of God which transcends all understanding, will GUARD your hearts and your minds in CHRIST Jesus.”
Many survivors of Trafficking do not know Christ or the power of having others pray for them.
Lord Jesus, I pray that you give those who have been trafficked the COURAGE to do what you lead them to – and get help for the situation they are in. Lord Jesus, GUIDE them to the place they can seek safety and comfort to heal in the EVIL times that our WORLD is facing.
Isaiah 3:11 (NIV)
“Woe to the wicked! Disaster is upon them! THEY will be paid back for what their HANDS have done.”
The Battle belongs to the Lord
1 Samuel 17:47
“The Lord saves not with sword and spear, for the battle is HIS.”
To my survivor siblings,
Let go and let GOD take your pain, your suffering, your trauma, and your addictions so that YOU can be free and be the person that GOD wants you to be. We pray that you reclaim who you are and be free from the life they took from you.
