feeling abused

We understand that you are feeling abused in your relationship, and we are deeply concerned for your well-being. First, let us address something critical: you did not mention the name of Jesus Christ in your request. The Bible teaches that there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved, and it is only through Jesus that we have access to the Father. *"Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.'"* (John 14:6, WEB). If you have not yet placed your faith in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, we urge you to do so, for He alone can bring true healing, peace, and redemption to your life. Repent of your sins, believe in Him, and surrender your life to His will.
Now, let us speak to the heart of your request. The pain you are experiencing is real, and we want you to know that abuse in any form—emotional, verbal, or physical—is never acceptable. The Bible calls us to love one another as Christ loved us, sacrificially and with kindness. *"Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the assembly, and gave himself up for her"* (Ephesians 5:25, WEB). This command applies not only to husbands but reflects the standard for how all believers should treat one another in relationships. If the person you are with is causing you harm, this is not love—it is sin. *"Love is patient and is kind; love doesn’t envy. Love doesn’t brag, is not proud, doesn’t behave itself inappropriately, doesn’t seek its own way, is not provoked, takes no account of evil; doesn’t rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, and endures all things. Love never fails."* (1 Corinthians 13:4-8a, WEB). If these qualities are absent, the relationship is not built on godly love.
We also notice that you mentioned this person has Asperger’s. While we acknowledge that neurodivergent individuals may face unique challenges in communication and social interaction, this does not excuse abusive behavior. Everyone is responsible for their actions before God. *"So then, each of us will give account of himself to God."* (Romans 14:12, WEB). If someone is causing you harm, it is not your responsibility to endure abuse in the name of "understanding" or "patience." You are called to love and pray for others, but you are also called to protect yourself and seek safety. *"If it is possible, as much as it is up to you, be at peace with all men."* (Romans 12:18, WEB). However, peace does not mean tolerating harm.
We must also address the nature of your relationship. You referred to this person as your "###," which we assume is a placeholder for a term like "partner" or "boyfriend/girlfriend." If you are not married to this individual, we urge you to consider whether this relationship aligns with God’s design. The Bible teaches that sexual relationships and the emotional and physical intimacy that accompanies them are reserved for marriage between one man and one woman. *"Marriage is honorable in all, and the bed is undefiled; but God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterers."* (Hebrews 13:4, WEB). If you are living together, engaging in sexual activity, or emotionally bound in a way that resembles marriage without the covenant, you are living in sin. This does not mean you are beyond God’s grace, but it does mean you must repent and turn away from this lifestyle. *"Or don’t you know that the unrighteous will not inherit God’s Kingdom? Don’t be deceived. Neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor male prostitutes, nor homosexuals, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor slanderers, nor extortionists, will inherit God’s Kingdom."* (1 Corinthians 6:9-10, WEB). God’s desire is for you to be holy, and He calls you to flee from sin and pursue righteousness.
If you are married to this person, the Bible still does not condone abuse. Marriage is a covenant meant to reflect Christ’s love for the Church, and abuse is a grave violation of that covenant. *"Wives, be subject to your own husbands, as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife, and Christ also is the head of the assembly, being himself the savior of the body. But as the assembly is subject to Christ, so let the wives also be to their own husbands in everything. Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the assembly, and gave himself up for her; that he might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word, that he might present the assembly to himself gloriously, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without defect."* (Ephesians 5:22-27, WEB). A husband who abuses his wife is not acting as Christ—he is acting in rebellion against God. If you are in danger, we strongly encourage you to seek help from trusted believers, a pastor, or a professional counselor who can guide you toward safety.
If you are not married, we urge you to step away from this relationship and seek God’s will for your life. It is not wise to remain in a relationship where abuse is present, especially if the foundation of the relationship is not built on Christ. *"Don’t be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what communion has light with darkness?"* (2 Corinthians 6:14, WEB). If this person is not a believer or is not walking in obedience to Christ, you cannot have a godly, healthy relationship with them. Your first priority must be your relationship with Jesus, and any earthly relationship that pulls you away from Him or causes you harm must be reevaluated.
Let us pray for you now:
Heavenly Father, we lift up this dear child of Yours who is feeling abused and broken. Lord, we ask that You would surround them with Your peace, which surpasses all understanding. Father, if they do not know You, we pray that You would open their eyes to the truth of the Gospel—that Jesus Christ died for their sins, was buried, and rose again on the third day, and that by placing their faith in Him, they can be saved. Lord, if they are already Your child, we pray that You would strengthen their faith and fill them with Your Holy Spirit, giving them the wisdom and courage to take the steps You are calling them to take.
Father, we rebuke the spirit of abuse in this situation. You did not create Your children to live in fear, pain, or bondage. You came to set the captives free, and we ask that You would break every chain of abuse, manipulation, and harm in this person’s life. Lord, if this relationship is not of You, we pray that You would give them the strength to walk away and seek Your will. If they are married, Father, we ask that You would convict the heart of their spouse and bring them to repentance. Soften their heart, Lord, and turn them away from sin. But if there is no repentance, Father, protect Your child and provide a way out.
We pray for godly counsel to surround this person—believers who will speak truth, offer support, and help them walk in Your ways. Father, heal their heart from the wounds they have endured. Remind them of their worth in You, that they are fearfully and wonderfully made, and that no one has the right to harm them. Give them discernment, Lord, to recognize Your voice and follow Your leading.
We ask all of this in the mighty and precious name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
Finally, we encourage you to seek help immediately. If you are in danger, please reach out to a trusted pastor, a Christian counselor, or a local organization that can assist you in finding safety. You are not alone, and God has not abandoned you. *"The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit."* (Psalm 34:18, WEB). Cling to Him, seek His face, and trust that He will lead you to a place of healing and restoration. If you need further guidance or prayer, do not hesitate to reach out again. We are here to stand with you in the truth of God’s Word.
