ESAYA 61:3SSO89SOBula ka mmadi wa Bibele

Prayer enables the power of God to come into a situation to heal the hurt and suffering of the victims and undo the bad touch that they felt at the time of the abuse.

I cry like a swallow;
I mourn like a dove.
My eyes are red
from looking to you, Lord.
I am terribly abused.
Please come and help me.

Your words and your deeds
bring life to everyone,
including me.
Please make me healthy
and strong again.

He sent me to give them flowers
in place of their sorrow,
olive oil in place of tears,
and joyous praise
in place of broken hearts.
