i am 18 years old.. i am a worship leader in our church.. months ago, i've been abused by my uncle and that was the most painful event that happened to me.. it's really hard leading people to worship God when you always see the face the of the man that abused you!... yah, he is also a christian... and that is the reason why i am emotionally hurt... at first i thought i've already forgiven him.. but recently i realize that i can't see him while i am leading the people to worship, coz it's really hurt.. please pray for me i know i have to forgive him coz thats what the lord wants.. for me i wanted to, but its to hurt.. please pray for me... true worshipper This message was edited by sakura on 5-7-08 @ 9:24 AM

I just want you to know that when I read your prayer request I started praying. This kind of abuse is not an easy thing to get over. In fact that's a bad choice of words. Praise will always work. And sometimes it's hard to praise in a bad place. In one of the Psalms they had hung up their harps and the enemy wanted to them play and sing, but it was very hard for them to do so. I've felt like that, but I heard God speak to me and He told me how his blessings for me are not determined by how well I'm living. And I thought about just how good He has been to me and how cold I can be towards him. And if my God can bless me when I am feeling so undone, surely I can praise HIm; and somewhere down deep inside a Praise rose up out of me. Lord God, my eternal Father who is the King of all blessers, who is more merciful than I can even imagine; I come to you as humbly as I know how. I ask you to search the heart of this young person, and say words of peace as only you can say. I pray that the deep wells begin to spring out of the belly so that praise will be the weapon to fight the enemy that would try to prevail. I also ask for the one who has trespassed against them in an unholy way. I ask that by your Spirit a conviction would be on them to the point of causing them to repent to God first, and to the persons that have been hurt by them. I know you are a wise God and a righteous judge, so I commit this person into your hands. In Jesus Name, Amen
