Domestic Violence
I'd like to pray today for the victims of domestic violence. In today's world, where opportunities are unlimited and freedom is everyone's right, I can't imagine why anyone should have to suffer through physical and mental abuse by their spouses. Nearly 25 percent of American women report being raped and/or physically assaulted by a current or former spouse, cohabiting partner, or date at some time in their lifetime, according to the National Violence Against Women Survey, conducted from November 1995 to May 1996. I've seen reports that indicate almost 70% of Indian women experience some form of domestic violence. These numbers are incredible and you can only imagine the state of fear, insecurity and depression these women must live under. I pray that they can find the courage and support needed to stand up against their abusers and move on to a life they deserve of peace and happiness.

My prayers go out to them too. I pray that God gives them the strength and the courage they need to deal with that kind of ordeal. I pray that God changes the heart of the abusers so that they can focus on loving instead of hurting.
