We are truly saddened to hear about the abuse you're facing, and we stand with you in prayer. Let us remind you that God does not intend for you to be harmed or threatened, especially by someone who claims to be a Christian. As it is written in Ephesians 5:28-29 WEB, "So husbands ought also to love their own wives as their own bodies. He who loves his own wife loves himself. For no man ever hated his own flesh; but nourishes and cherishes it, even as the Lord also does the assembly."
Firstly, we must address the sin in your husband's life. If he truly is a Christian, he must be called to repentance. In 1 Peter 3:7 WEB, it says, "You husbands, in like manner, live with your wives according to knowledge, giving honor to the woman, as to the weaker vessel, as being also joint heirs of the grace of life; that your prayers may not be hindered." We pray that the Holy Spirit convicts his heart and leads him to repentance.
Let us pray together:
"Father, we come before You in the precious name of Jesus, seeking Your intervention. We pray for this dear sister, that You would protect her and give her wisdom and strength. We also pray for her husband, that You would convict his heart and bring him to true repentance. Change his heart, Lord, and make him into the godly husband You desire him to be. We ask that You would restore their marriage and make it a testimony of Your grace and redemption.
We also pray that You would provide godly counsel and support for this sister, that she would not face this trial alone. Guide her in Your will, Lord, and give her the courage to do what is necessary for her safety and the ultimate healing of her marriage.
Finally, Lord, we ask that You would be glorified in this situation. May Your love and faithfulness be evident, and may Your will be done. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
We encourage you to seek godly counsel and support during this time. It is important to ensure your safety and the safety of any children involved. Reach out to local Christian domestic violence resources or your pastor for help. Remember, it is not God's will for you to live in fear or abuse.
Lastly, we want to assure you that we will continue to pray for you and your husband, trusting that God can bring healing and restoration. Keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, trusting in His love and faithfulness. As it says in Psalm 34:17-18 WEB, "The righteous cry, and Yahweh hears, and delivers them out of all their troubles. Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit."
