Hope For The Abused (Poem)
Abused daughter, cowering in darkness
Bruised and battered by one stronger than you
This is not the end of the road
Ignore the voice whispering, “Why not just take your life?”
I do not mean to belittle your pain
I cannot even fathom the depth of your hurt
I cannot by words paper over the cracks in your soul
But Someone mightier than you and I can help
He is the Lord, the Almighty Creator
He brings parts together to make a whole
He can bind your bruises and stitch your cuts
He can mend your broken pieces and make you new
He will help you shed the tears that are trapped inside
He will chase out the gnawing fear your torment brought
He will break the endless cycle of recollections that keep your trauma raw
And he will cleanse away all shame and self-loathing from the brutality you endured
I pray you have the courage to come into the light
I pray you be strengthened by your Creator God
I pray you be saved from the one that hurt/s you
And I pray that you receive justice that forever ends the nightmare

Wow! This is a lovely poem, Ma. “Someone mightier than you and I can help” Very powerful words! I pray the Lord delivers those living with abuse physically, mentally or spiritually from their oppression so that they may walk in peace and enjoy a life full of blessings In Jesus’ name. Amen.
Amen. You are sooo blessed!
Beautiful Poem, Ma, Good use of words “I pray you have the courage to come into the light”- very deep words!
Grateful! Happy Sunday to you!
Love and light to all the victim of abuse.♥️♥️
Amen. A happy new week to you and a great July ahead in Jesus’ name.
This poem is lovely but this line caught my attention, “He will break the endless cycle of recollections that keep your trauma raw”. I know someone who is unable to move on from past traumas and I don’t know, how to help.
Our God is Jehovah Rapha, the Great Physician. Happy new week to you, Chidimma! ❤
To the abused, please don’t give up on life. God loves you. May God wipe away the feelings of Trauma from your life. May he bring Justice to your case.
This poem is a wonderful one?
Amen in Jesus’ name. Thank you!
A message of healing, comfort and hope. I hope all abused gets the justice they deserve.
I can’t even begin to fathom the pain people that have been abused go through. The depression must seem unbearable and ending it all might seem like the best option for them, which is why suicide cases are still on the rise. I hope God locates all victims of abuse wherever they are before they get to the stage where they begin to question life and it’s futility. I hope God gives them more reasons and a purpose to live and keep thriving.
The poem is very deep and emotional, it gives hope to the sexually abused
I felt emotional while reading the poem. The trauma and sorrow the abused go through is heartbreaking. I pray they find solace in the Lord because it is not easy. I hope this poem will give them hope, healing and justice they have always wanted.
Hope is not lost, let the abused arise and shine for the latter days will be better than the former. All that is needed is to abide in the words of God for we know that our Redeemer liveth, definitely a shout of joy and victory will be heard.
Amen. Thank you very much, and be awesomely blessed too in Jesus’ name.
An inspiring poem indeed, after reading this poem I was reassured that am not alone
My soul was comforted.
Thank you so much ma for making my day.
“Come unto me, all ye who are weary and heavy laden and I will give you rest,” says the Scriptures. No matter what we’ve been through, no matter the condition, no matter the colour, hope is not lost. Jesus saves, Jesus comforts and consoles better. Don’t not fall back, look up to Jesus. Society may not give justice but Jesus is the King of justice and peace.
I pray for everyone that has gone through or is currently going through one form of abuse or the other. Jesus says in his word to cast all your cares and burdens on him for he cares for you. I pray you find healing, hope and peace in Christ.
I pray for everyone being abused that they’re able to get help and let it out. I pray they find comfort in the Lord’s embrace. Love and light ♥️
The run-on-line poem is to give hope to the abused sexually, to keep hope and strength on God. The pacifier of struggle and heart wrecking circumstances.
Uhmmm, there are no run-on lines in this poem. I didn’t use punctuation but the thoughts in each line are complete. God bless you!
Amen, That was very beautiful and encouraging
reading this poem I can only think of a verse in the Bible that says Come upon me all ye that labor and of heavy load for I will give you rest.
Thank you ma for this wonderful piece.
Beautiful poem ma. I felt emotional while reading this and remember the story of rape in my country, Nigeria, and how justice has been neglected. But as I read, I remember that God can do all things and he will always fight and vindicate his people and save them from everything they are passing through.
This poem is very encouraging and the part whereyou said; ” I know someone mightier than you and I that can help…”really struck me. Most times we feel God is as incapable as humans but He’s more than capable to help us heal.
God bless you ma’am
Amen. This is a poem that gives hope to the hopeless. We can lean on Jesus for he is our rock.”But Someone mightier than you and I can help” Indeed our help comes from the Lord who made heaven and earth. From him alone does our help come.
Thanks, ma!
This poem is really for me, I pray that the one mightier than I help me out of this pain and heal my heart.
Amen in Jesus’ name.

Comfort and love to all victims of abuse.
Those people that have been abused need assurance that they are in a safe place and that the society would not judge and question them, the abused should open up and speak so that justice would be served.
My sincere prayer for all the victims. May God give them the heart and grace to bear every trauma that comes from these abuses.
Dear God, heal the pain in the heart of every abused persons. Give them the strength to have faith in you and trust that you can take away their pains.
There is hope for the downtrodden… Thanks for this ma’m

Your article is one that everyone has to read especially those in pain , frustrated in life thinking that there world has come to an end ,they have hope for that man in heaven will never forget them.
I can’t grasp the way people abused can cope with the stigma, I can only but imagine.
But there’s still hope God hasn’t forgotten you, suicide can never and will never be the way out.
All I pray is that God heals them Amen.
This poem consoles the abused, offeres hope and shows that there is a better place in God.
Only God is the faithful judge and He alone will save those that are abused.
To all those abused out there, stay strong and don’t give up.

May the good Lord come to the aid of the abused and be their comforter
People go through a lot of abuse nowadays ranging from domestic, physical, emotional and so many other forms of abuse. I pray God grant them absolute peace and comfort.

My heart goes out to those who have been abused not just sexually, but emotionally and physically. God alone knows the extent of your pain, but isolating yourself is not the answer, there is a God who cares.

Everybody has their own fair share of struggles but should never give up. God is extending a hand of help for you to hold on to and let go of the pains in your heart.
I pray God wipes away the troubles we have been facing. It isn’t easy at all.
I for one am a victim of sexual abuse and it hurt most cause these people were my loved ones. I learnt to forgive but it was hard. Thank you ma for sharing.
The lord gives total consolation,hope for the hopeless and comfort to the distressed.
Lovely poem aunt Edith. The devil comes in different ways to push you into his darkness but with the lord you can come into light, embrace him and heal your heart.
I concur ma. Than wasting away in depression, there is someone that sees and understands and is ready to help you through the pain in all love. Just come to him
God the comforter of the weak shall and will always bring healing to the abused.
There is hope for you. Christ Jesus is the hope of the hopeless. The Almighty God is beckoning on us to come closer to Him. He says in the scriptures “come unto me o you that labour and is heavy laden, I will give you rest”. Only look up to the author and finisher of our faith and all will be well with you.
Very true and impactful words ma’am. Dealing with abuse is not easy for anybody atall I pray God heals them.
I pray that the Lord Jesus who is mightier than all, heals and consoles all those going through abuses of any kind . Amen
Nice post Ma’am ?
This is a reassurance that all will be well.
Just what an abused or depressed person needs. I have a question though. Don’t you think an abused person needs more physical engagements than spiritual considering that they cannot suddenly get to know about Christ on their own? Someone has to talk to them. They need someone to talk to you.
Some abused people already know the Lord, you know. Tragedy does not only visit the in saved. People need both spiritual and physical help but the spiritual can be more powerful because it connects the person in need to God who can touch them where people cannot reach.
Hmm, it is only God that understand the weight of the pain in the hearts of the victims of abuse. May they receive the strength to stand and regain their self esteem.
A condition can never be permanent, when God is by your side. Believe and you will see.
All hope is not lost. A lot of lives has been damaged because of some kind of abuse, either sexually, physical or emotionally. Some seek justice but they were denied. I pray that God will listen to their cries. Amen
Nice words there ma’am…. This is an assurance that God got our back always.
I pray for those who have been abused mentally, emotionally or physically.. please trust in God, he is the one that will fight your battle.
So emotional I must say,I hope all the abused get healing and not give up on God.
All hope is not lost, we carry so many pain in our hearts and its only God that can heal us. We should always have faith in him because only him knows our problem and he is the solution to them.
Amen! Many times, we only feel truly relieved when we talk to our Heavenly Father about all we face. This is quite inspiring. Thank you Ma.
Being abused and being able to come out and say it is another thing. But the God we serve will surely fight fou their cause, amen.
This is a really amazing poem with deep words. May God help every abused out there
We look up to God in this trying times because what can we do?! No matter how hard we try there are still going to be monsters out there waiting for who to devour.. May God help us! To those who have been victims of abuse, please stay strong and hold onto the Lord.
Abused people go through a lot but there is hope, hope from God who knows all and gives hope to the hopeless. Thank you ma for this.
As stated in the poem, there’s one stronger and mightier than us who is the Almighty God…He gives hope to the hopeless, and can take away any form or abuse or depression one undergoes….The abused should cheer up, knowing there’s a supreme being, and ignore voice compelling her of suicide…
With God you can heal from every pain
I can only imagine the pain and trauma such people go through
It is only by God’s grace that they can overcome those pains
There is hope in Jesus name
The lord heals the broken hearted and takes care of all the pain and makes us new and whole.
But Someone mightier than you and I can help.
This part triggered me positively.
Once you are with the supreme God then there is no impossibility. He heals any unhealable and never will he fail. Take solace in him and all your problems are solved.
This is a nice poem, Ma. To the abused, no matter how difficult life is always remember there is hope. I pray that God will listen to their cries and grant them justice. Amen
Victims of abuse should know that it’s not the end of the road for them .when others bad mouth and turn their backs on you why not turn to God instead he is greater and mightier and the only help you need but
apart from physical therapy.
This is a nice poem, Ma. To the abused, no matter how difficult life is, always remember there is hope. I pray that God will listen to their cries and grant them justice, Amen
This poem is an anti-depressant, a comforting one at that, which passes a message that Christ is our only comforter.
Abuse leaves an injury in the emotional, physical, psychological and social life of the victim which may last for a lifetime, I pray that God gives the victims the fortitude to heal,let go and move on with their lives.
As comforting as this is, I can only imagine the pain abused people face not pain from the act of cruelty but trauma after they’ve been abused. I hope they all find comfort and solace in the Lord while the perpetrators of abuse live in hell all thier lives.
Life are faced with a lot of challenges that sometimes suggestion suicide as a solution to curb the problem. But our assurance and hope is that no matter how shattered and battered our life is God is able to fix it back.
This is very nice. Words of comfort is necessary for human.
No matter the situation one is, the God sees you and will help you through
deep, resonating and intense poem. a great message indeed
To those who have been abused mentally, physically or emotionally don’t loose hope, suicide isn’t even the answer to your situation. Embrace the Almighty and watch him work out things for your own good.
Abuse is the worst thing that can happen to anyone. It is not easy to heal but with God all things are possible, he is a true companion
Suicide is not the best option dear victims, may the good Lord help you to overcome the trauma.
