Tips for Mothers
Sadly enough many
little girls around the world are sexually abused by their loved
ones or people very close to them. More than ever, these
little girls need support, understanding, patience and love to help
guide them through the healing process. As hard as it may
seem, their little minds can heal from
this ordeal through the power and love of Our Redeemer, Our Lord and
Savior, Jesus Christ. They can
restore and experience a healthy life full of God's love within
them. So, understand and believe that you don't fret or worry
anymore. There is hope and God's grace awaiting you, if you
believe in Jesus. Jesus said, "with people it is
impossible, but not with God; for all things are possible with God."
(Mark 10:27) Ephesians 2:8-9 says, "For is it by grace
you have been saved through faith; and not that of yourselves, it is
the gift of God; not as a result of works, so that no one may
boast." Believe, have faith and trust in God.
A pray for you. Will you stand in agreement with
Minister Sabrina Evans?
Minister Sabrina Evans and I ___________ (state your name) stand in agreement, to
declare and decree the blood of the Holy Lamb, your Son, Jesus
Christ upon my soul, upon my family, and upon my house that the Holy
Spirit whom Jesus sent as our comforter may be with me and my
daughter to comfort us as we seek redemption and salvation through
Jesus from an experience this is horrific and defiling according to
your laws. Father, hold us, heal us, transform us and restore
us. Father, be a lamp, a guiding light for me and my daughter.
At this very hour, we ask that you impart wisdom and guidance upon
me to know and do what is best for my daughter, according to your
will, put in my path the person(s) who can assist me with any legal
matters that may arise or therapy for healing so that I may help her
through this process. Father, we pray that my faith grows
deeper than ever before, building a confidence level in you that is
so strong, it can not be shaken and would be held steadfast, O'Lord,
regardless of what any proceedings, interviews or people around me
may say; that through Jesus and you, Father, I will find the
strength to stand for yourself and my daughter and hold on to it
even in the midst of doubts and worries; that in this process, I
will submit my entire self you, Father, casting off the concerns of
my mind and fear within, believing and trusting in you, Holy Father
in Heaven above, that you will answer all that we are asking for in
this prayer. Jesus said in Mathew 18:19,"Again I say to you,
that if two of you agree on earth about anything that they may ask,
it shall be done for them by my Father who is in heaven.
We pray, Father, that your will be done in my life and my daughter's
life; that you may give us your gift of grace; that my
daughter and I shall find peace in our hearts through Jesus from
this day forward and that your love, Father, hidden in that place
within our hearts will be revealed as the shinning light it is. Father, Yahwey, Most High God, we humbly bring this petition before
your throne already believing it to be done, in the precious and
Holy name, Jesus Christ. Amen.
A Note from the Founder
My dear sister, its ok to tell our Father that you
are afraid, that you do have concerns, that you are trying hard to
let them go and give them to Him, that you may not know what to do,
where to go or how to start, and that you yourself need comfort and
help to be strong for your daughter and yourself. Be not held
captive by the worries and fears of the flesh. Its better to
be honest and upfront with the Lord than to be dishonest about what
He already knows. Now, is a time to totally focus on your
daughter and you. The healing process must be begin. God
is love and His love is sovereign. To know God, is to know
love. Revelation brings healing. Remember to read the
Word of God every day and pray continuously without ceasing.
You are in our prayers as we remember all of our sisters in the
world suffering from this very same experience. Know that your
suffering can end and joy will come. Keep seeking the Lord and
He will reveal Himself to you. The bible says, life and death
lies within the power of the tongue. What we speak out of our
mouths has real power and will manifest itself in our lives.
Below, are a few simple affirmations that you and your daughter can
repeat throughout the day, everyday. Even if you don't quite
believe it yet, trust me, just say it and over time you will begin
too. (You may want to write these down and memorize them).
Affirmations
"I am a conqueror."
"Through Jesus Christ I am recovering and restoring
my life, because through him all things are possible."
"God loves me and I do too."
"I am love."
"I am beautiful."
I love you, sister, and God does too. Your sister in Christ,
Here are some tips to assist Mothers as they help their daughters
through what can be defined as an indescribable, painstaking
experience and process that is fully capable of being healed by
faith in Jesus Christ.
Create a comfortable and trusting atmosphere.
Sharing this type of information is hard, so try your best for your
daughter's sake to be open, never show your feelings, stay calm in
front of her, listen and praise her for sharing information.
Making surprising remarks and/or showing facial expressions may shut
her down and make her scared to share any more information if she
feels like what she shared triggered an alarming response from you.
Stay calm and collected as what she may shares may shock you.
All in all, let her how important it is to share this type of information
with you or someone else you both trust.
Keep a log.
Write everything that you can remember
your daughter says, the date and any emotion(s) she may express
while sharing information. This log may or may not be helpful
at a later date.
Talk to her about what "inappropriate touch" means.
Explain to your daughter what "good
touches" are and what "bad
places" are on her body. Be gentle as
not to scare her so that she will not "clam up". Sometimes,
children who have been abused can withdraw and withhold information,
because they are frightened. You can make a game out of it
using her dolls to explain what places on her body are inappropriate
and appropriate for others to touch.
Don't ask her questions.
Don't ask your
daughter questions, let her talk. This can
be used against you as authorities may believe you are suggesting things to
her. Your job is to make her feel safe and comfortable.
Instead, you may want to tell her things like "it is ok to talk to
mommy if you want to"; "sharing information is a good thing";
"mommy shares information with (name someone you both know and
trust)"; "mommy
loves you and cares about you". Be calm...relax so that
your daughter
can relax. Children watch everything their parents do and they
listen carefully even when we think they are to everything we say.
Play Christian/Gospel Music.
Sing gospel songs with your daughter everyday.
This can be very healing and help to reaffirm faith. Singing
can bring
her joy, comfort her, as well as, lift her spirit up and yours too.
Tell her positive things about herself.
Say positive affirmations with and to your daughter everyday.
Practice negating the negative feelings she may feel inside.
For everything she may have heard bad or feel, she will need to hear
several times over good things about herself to make her feel better
inside.
This can help lift her spirit up and rebuild her self-confidence.
You might tell her to repeat..."I am a more than
conqueror", "I am salt of the earth", "God's light shines within my
spirit", "Jesus lives in my heart", "I love myself", "God loves
me".
Be her "Rock".
Always be positive in front of her.
She follows your lead. Never let her see you
cry. If mommy breaks down, she may also. This may bring
about stress in her as she may become confused and upset
worrying
why her mommy is crying. If you must, go into another room.
Remember, this unfortunate experience is not about how you feel, it
is about her and how she feels. In order to help her through
the experience you must be strong.
Seek therapy for her.
Because time is of
the essence when dealing with the nature of this type of
misfortunate circumstance, be sure to use it efficiently.
Immediately shop around for a therapist that best fits the comfort
zone of you and your daughter. This person should be someone
you think your daughter can build a relationship with so that over
time she will feel comfortable talking about her experience.
Seek therapy for yourself?
If needed, it may be a good idea for you to seek therapy for yourself as well.
You may want to start with your church or an independent service.
Sometimes, dealing with emotions so painful can be hard to say the
least. There
is much to process in a situation such as this. Mommy needs to
heal too.
