Lord, today we pray about the “wolf pack” rape case in
Spain. Along with the masses of protesters, we are bewildered by gang rape
being named “sexual abuse.” We understand the righteous anger that is erupting throughout
the nation. But, Lord, we ask that these protests remain peaceful, that the
results of these demonstrations be truly productive and helpful to Spain in the
long-run. We pray for the lawmakers who have admitted the law may need revision
to truly take a close look, making sure all is sound and fair. We pray for the
victim of this crime as she deals with the fact that her attackers only face
nine years in prison for their violent crime against her. Continue to bring
healing in her life. Continue to bring support. May those around her bring a
balm of peace, rather than reopening wounds. We pray for the attackers, Lord.
Bring deep conviction to them, that they might know deep in their souls that
what they did was horrendously wrong. May they desire to truly turn their lives
around, becoming men who will bring good to the world, rather than damage
caused by selfishness. May your Spirit be very present in Spain this weekend as
the nation seeks to deal with this messy, deeply saddening situation. In Jesus’
name we pray, amen.
