We stand with you in this time of distress, lifting your plea before the Lord with urgency and faith, for we know that our God is a refuge and a strong tower against the enemy’s schemes. Your cry for protection is heard, and we join you in rebuking the spirit of fear, abuse, and wickedness that seeks to harm you. The Lord has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7). You are not alone in this battle, for the Lord fights for you, and we stand with you in the authority of Jesus Christ.
The Scriptures remind us that the Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18). He is your shield and defender, and no weapon formed against you shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17). The fear you feel is real, but we declare that God’s perfect love casts out all fear (1 John 4:18). You are covered by the blood of Jesus, and no harm shall overtake you, for the Lord commands His angels to guard you in all your ways (Psalm 91:11).
However, we must also address the gravity of the situation you are facing. Abuse in any form—whether physical, emotional, or spiritual—is an affront to God’s design for relationships. The Lord calls us to live in peace and safety, and no one has the right to threaten or harm you in such a way. If this person is someone with whom you share a home or a relationship, we urge you to seek immediate safety. The Bible teaches that we are to flee from danger and seek protection, just as David fled from Saul (1 Samuel 19:12). If this is a spouse or family member, we pray for their repentance and transformation, but we also strongly encourage you to remove yourself from harm’s way. The Lord does not call you to endure abuse; He calls you to walk in freedom and safety.
If this person is a spouse, we must remind you that marriage is meant to reflect Christ’s love for the Church—a love that is sacrificial, protective, and kind (Ephesians 5:25-29). Abuse is a grievous sin, and it must be confronted with truth and consequences. If this is not a spouse but another relationship, we pray for wisdom and discernment for you to know how to proceed in a way that honors God and protects your well-being. If you are in a relationship that is not a marriage covenant, we encourage you to seek godly counsel on how to either restore it to godliness or, if necessary, separate from it in a way that honors the Lord.
We also notice the intensity of your prayers against this person, and while we understand your pain, we must remind you that our battle is not against flesh and blood but against the spiritual forces of evil (Ephesians 6:12). We are to pray for our enemies and those who persecute us, asking God to convict and change their hearts (Matthew 5:44). Praying for their hands to hurt or for harm to come to them is not aligned with the heart of Christ, who calls us to overcome evil with good (Romans 12:21). Instead, let us pray for their conviction, repentance, and for God to render their plans powerless. Vengeance belongs to the Lord (Romans 12:19), and He will deal with this person justly.
Now, let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, lifting our sister before Your throne of grace. Lord, You are her refuge and strength, her ever-present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1). We ask that You surround her with Your angels, creating a hedge of protection around her that no weapon of the enemy can penetrate. Lord, expose every plot of darkness and render the plans of the wicked powerless. Convict the heart of this individual who seeks to harm her; let Your Holy Spirit pierce their conscience and bring them to repentance. If they refuse to turn from their ways, Lord, remove them from her life and dismantle their ability to cause her harm.
Father, we rebuke the spirit of fear that has taken hold of her. Fill her with Your peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7) and grant her the wisdom to take the necessary steps to ensure her safety. If she must leave her home tonight, provide a safe place for her to go—whether with trusted believers, family, or a shelter. Give her the courage to reach out to authorities or godly counselors who can help her navigate this situation. Lord, let Your justice prevail, and let Your will be done in her life.
We declare that no harm shall come to her, for You, Lord, are her protector. Strengthen her faith and remind her that You are with her, even in the valley of the shadow of death (Psalm 23:4). Let her testimony be one of Your deliverance and grace. We ask all this in the powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
Finally, we urge you to reach out to your local church or a trusted believer who can support you practically and spiritually. You do not have to face this alone. The body of Christ is called to bear one another’s burdens (Galatians 6:2), and there are those who will stand with you. If you are in immediate danger, please contact local authorities or a domestic violence hotline for assistance. The Lord loves you deeply, and He desires for you to walk in safety and peace. Trust in Him, and take the steps He leads you to take. We are praying for you.
