Father, today we pray for Luis Armando Campos, a young singer who was
sexually abused and trafficked for four years by his former music producer and
mentor, Mario Enrique Miranda Palacios. We are saddened by the deception that
led Luis into a harmful situation. We thank you that Luis had the courage to
leave and to confide in a fellow singer who influenced him to come forward. We
thank you for the organization, United vs Human Trafficking, for offering
counseling and legal services for Luis. Lord, we pray for all victims of sexual
abuse and trafficking. We pray that those still in dangerous situations are
able to escape and get the help they need from trustworthy sources. We ask for
healing for those who are now free yet still carry the emotional weight of
their former situations.
Lord, we desire to see mentoring relationships
grow between adults and teenagers. We know that there are great benefits that
come from healthy partnerships. We pray that you will protect our youth and
give them discernment in knowing where they can place their trust. We praise
you, Lord, that even in our sin you desire to have a relationship with us. We
have confidence in knowing that you will not abandon us. You are our protector
and the source of all hope. In Jesus’ name, amen.
