Dear Heavenly Father, Our hearts are broken over the abuse of women and the subtle and dramatic ways they are violated. What is broken in our relationship to You, oh heavenly Father, that we must remember to help stop this abuse?

How do we protect and keep safe our children and our neighbor’s children and the girls and women around the world that are vulnerable to this violence?

In the name of Jesus and all that is good we pray for safety and peace for all.

Amen
