My prayer:

Father, heal the wounded heart that has learned to reject itself. Heal and restore the image of Christ within so that they can say as Jesus said, "I know where I came from and where I am going". May they be restored to their sense of purpose.

Restore them to the mind of Christ, for Jesus said, "I am in the Father and the Father is in me. I and the Father are one". He knew who he was, and may those who believe in you be restored to their eternal identity. May they say, "I am in Jesus and he is me, Jesus and I are one." Heal that heart that has lost its identity through abuse and rejection. May they not be overcome by the temptation to think more lowly of themselves than they should, but let your kindness and gentleness heal their hearts and restore them to their life in you.
