The Catholic Defender: Prayer for the children of John Benko who were abused by family member, John Benko's terrible responsibility.

Holy Spirit, we ask that you bring freedom to any child that has been abused in one way or the other. We refuse to allow the devil to hold them captive. They are your children and have been called into your wonderful light. Lord free them from the pain of abuse, hear the cries of our brothers and sisters stuck in human trafficking. Almighty God, fill them with your perfect love and calm all restless hearts.

Show them that you see them and know what they are going through and are there right beside them. No matter how ugly the situation is, Lord show them that they can lean on you. Everlasting God, we know these are tough times for these children and their families, we pray Lord that you help them through this difficult situation and hard time in their lives. Open up the hearts of people to pour out God’s love upon their hearts.

Give any child going through child abuse or that are victims of child abuse the strength to rely on you. Help them to trust in you no matter how bad it is, knowing that you are sovereign and you see them.

Heavenly father, Provide healing of all victims of abuse in their body, soul, and minds. Every way they have been abused, Lord come and do what only you can do. You are the mighty man of war, the lion of Judah, be a comforter of hearts. Lord we pray you remove all damaging effects of abuse from them, feel them with your love. You are a God of all comfort, heal all dangerous situations.

Give these children hope and erase this memory from them and use their experiences for your glory. Through their testimonies Lord, many more will come to the knowledge of who you are in their lives.
