:I 1. When a rape happened God did not place blame on the woman.
Deuteronomy 22:26 Do nothing to the girl; she has committed

:i no sin deserving death. This case is like that of someone who


attacks and murders his neighbor.

2. When evil happens, courts and laws may not always be able to pro-
;i vide punishment, but ultimately God will.
2 Thessalonians 1:5-7 All this is evidence that God's judgment

:a is right, and as a result you will be counted worthy of the kingdom


of God, for which you are suffering. God is just: He will pay back
trouble to those who trouble you and give relief to you who are

;I troubled, and to us as well. This will happen when the Lord Jesus
is revealed from heaven in blazing fire with his powerful angels.

Luke 18:6-8 And the Lord said, "Listen to what the unjust judge
;g says. And will not God bring about justice for his chosen ones,
who cry out to him day and night? Will he keep putting them off?
I tell you, he will see that they get justice, and quickly. However,
;II when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?"

Deuteronomy 32:35 It is mine to avenge; I will repay. In due

;I time their foot will slip; their day of disaster is near and their doom
rushes upon them.

3. Cling to solace in Jesus Christ.


1John 4:4 You, dear children, are from God and have overcome
them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is
in the world.
Psalm 34:18-19 The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and
saves those who are crushed in spirit. A righteous man may have
many troubles, but the LORD delivers him from them all.

Hebrews 12:2-3 Let us fIx our eyes on Jesus, the author and
perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the
cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the
throne of God. Consider him who endured such opposition from
sinful men, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.
Isaiah 41:9-10 I took you from the ends of the earth, from its
farthest corners I called you. I said, 'You are my servant'; I have
chosen you and have not rejected you. So do not fear, for I am with
you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you
and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

Deuteronomy 31:6 Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid


or terrified because of them, for the LoRD your God goes with you;
he will never leave you nor forsake you.

NOTE: It would be beneficial for the counselee to see a physician if not


already done.
