Sexual Assault
If you have experienced sexual assault, what happened to you was not your fault โ it was a violation of your body and dignity that God grieves deeply. The shame, fear, and confusion that follow are normal responses to an abnormal evil. God stands with victims, not against them. These scriptures affirm your worth, declare God's hatred of violence, and offer the hope of healing for wounds that feel unhealable.
