  Speaker 1: I am Sherry Mackie. It is time for us to
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: go to God in prayer, and today I ask that
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: you join along with me in prayer. On this family day,
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: I think about families that are hurting because of domestic life. Heavenly, Father,
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: we come before you today with heavy hearts, lifting up
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: those who are living in the painful reality of domestic violence. Lord,
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: you see every home where fear has replaced peace, where
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: raised voices have turned into wounds, and where love has
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: been distorted by anger and control. Father, you see the
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: men and women who feel trapped in situations that feel
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: impossible to escape. You see the bruises that are visible
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: and the deeper ones that are hidden. You hear the
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: cries that are spoken and the ones that are swallowed
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: in silence. Lord, be their refuge. For the ones who
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: feel powerless, remind them that you are their defender. For
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: the one who feels ashamed, remind them that this pain
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: is not their fault. For the one who feels afraid
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: to take the next step, surround them with courage, wisdom
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: and safe support. Father, we pray for protection. Place a
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: hedge of protection around every victim. Send the right people
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: into their lives. Counselors, friends, advocates, leaders who will help
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: them find safety and healing. Open doors for safe shelters,
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: resources and guidance. Let no one feel that they must
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: suffer in silence and isolation. Lord, we lift up the
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: children who witness violence in their homes. You see the
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: confusion in their hearts, You see the fear that settles
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: into their young spirits. Some children learn to hide, some
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: learn to cry quietly, and some carry trauma they do
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: not know how to express. Father, cover those children with
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: your peace. Protect their hearts from being hardened by what
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: they see. Break the cycle of violence so that what
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: they witness today does not become what they repeat tomorrow.
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: Feel the memories that haunt them, and restore their sense
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: of safety and trust. Lord, we also lift up the loves,
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: the parents, the siblings, the friends who feel helpless watching
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: someone they love in dear or peace. They want to
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: fix it, They want to rescue them, Yet they often
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: feel powerless and afraid. Give them wisdom and respond with
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: love and not judgment. Give them patience and stand beside
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: their loved one without punishing and pushing them away. Show
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: them how to offer support, protection and guidance. And Father,
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: we pray for transformation where violence exists. Touch the hearts
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: of those who are causing harm. Confront the anger, the brokenness,
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: and the pain that feels destructive behavior. Bring conviction, Bring
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: repentance and deep change. God, replace rage with humility and
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: cruelty with compassion. Lord, you are the God who heals
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: broken homes and resist wounded hearts. You are the God
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: who brings light into the darkest places. So today we
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: pray for safety where there's danger, peace where there's chaos,
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: healing where there's trauba, freedom where there's fear. Let every
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: person know they are loved, they are valued, they are
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: worthy of safety. Give them strength to seek help God,
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: courage to walk toward healing, and the hope that their
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: story is not over. God, wrap every hurting heart in
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: your protection, and let your peace reign where violence once lived.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: In Jesus' name, Amen,
