Survivor of Attack Needs Healing

[153] prayers in [8] nations have been posted for Xavia.

Xavia, 30, survived a brutal assault eight years ago. During a 2016 attack, rebels with a militant group set fire to numerous homes in her village. Her husband, mother, father and sisters were burned alive. Xavia was tied up and subjected to horrific torture, rendering her unable to have additional children. She doesn’t know how she survived the assault but only remembers waking up in an evacuation truck. She was sent to another country for surgery, but her emotional wounds need additional healing. According to a front-line worker, “She continues to suffer emotionally and has ongoing bouts of depression.” Due to a severe shortage of trained counselors and psychologists in the CAR, front-line workers are currently working to train pastors to provide healing care to Christians like Xavia who have suffered brutal attacks.

  • Dear Lord, brutal attacks are allowed to help each of us to minister to each other. It is easier connect with the person if you yourself have been in this situation. Please help people who can understand fully what she has gone through & help her to not only forgive her attackers, but also to forgive herself. I lift up Xavia & all women like her to You

  • Father I pray, "And in no way Xavia and others involved in this attack will be alarmed or intimidated in anything by their opponents, for such constancy and fearlessness on their part is a clear sign a proof and a seal of their opponents destruction, but a clear sign for them of deliverance and salvation, and that too, from God "(Philippians 1:28).

  • Father, I pray Xavia and all those involved in this attack will delight in you and know your name, then you will deliver them & set them on high. They call on you and you answer them. You're with them in distress. You deliver and honor them. With length of days you satisfy them and cause them to look upon your salvation. Psalm 91:14-16.

  • Father, please send "comfort laborers" to Xavia. For you said that you are "the God of all comfort; Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God" (2 Corinthians 1:4). Help them to grieve not like the world, but as one with hope.

  • We pray for those being persecuted for righteousness sake. We call them blessed and declare that no one will be able to harm them because they are followers of what is good. We pray they will not be afraid (1Peter 3:13-17). No weapon formed against them shall prosper and every tongue that rises against them shall be shown to be in the wrong (Isaiah 54

  • Lord, thank you that you are a good father and have clearly made known your will concerning healing to and for us in your word. When the man came to you and asked, "if it be thy will you can heal my child", you replied, "it is my will" forever settling the question.
