Thank You for Your Word and for this chapter. It is a reminder of the brokenness and pain that exists in our world, but also of Your everlasting love and compassion for us.
Father, I lift up to You all those who have experienced or are experiencing the deep hurt and betrayal like Tamar did in this passage. I pray for healing and restoration in their lives. Help them to find comfort and peace in You, knowing that You are the ultimate healer and comforter.
I also pray for those who have caused harm to others, like Amnon did. May they come to a place of repentance and seek Your forgiveness. Help them to turn away from their sin and to seek to live in a way that brings honor and glory to You.
Lord, give us the wisdom and strength to be agents of Your love and justice in this world. Help us to stand up against injustice and to be a source of hope and healing for those who are hurting.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
