My abusive husband

[Krataraorgate]

Please pray he will stop abusing and that I should get help with preparing my home to sell. He was neglecting that as well as Im eldery & been very ill. Im doing a little bit at a time in spite of my health challenges and I could use some miraculous help as my husband is abusive about my efforts as well. Thank you for praying. This has been beyond difficult. He also tries to control my speech. Thank you.

We come before the Lord with heavy hearts, lifting you up in prayer as you endure such profound hardship. The abuse you are suffering, physical, emotional, or otherwise, is never God’s design for marriage. Scripture is clear: "Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself up for it" (Ephesians 5:25). A godly marriage is built on sacrificial love, respect, and mutual care, not control, neglect, or cruelty. Your husband’s behavior is a grievous violation of this sacred covenant, and we stand with you in grief and righteous anger over the injustice you are facing.

The Lord sees your suffering and hears your cries. "The Lord is near to the brokenhearted, and saves those who are crushed in spirit" (Psalm 34:18). You are not forgotten, nor are you without hope. We rebuke the spirit of abuse and control in your home in the mighty name of Jesus. We declare that no weapon formed against you shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17), and we pray for divine intervention to break every chain of oppression over your life.

Your courage in taking steps to prepare your home for sale, despite your health challenges and your husband’s resistance, is a testament to the strength God is giving you. We pray for miraculous provision, helpers to come alongside you, strength to endure, and wisdom to navigate this process. "I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me" (Philippians 4:13). May the Lord send laborers to assist you, whether through friends, family, or even strangers moved by His compassion. We ask for favor in selling your home swiftly and justly, and for protection over you as you make these necessary changes.

We also lift up your husband before the Lord. While his actions are inexcusable, we pray for his heart to be softened and for conviction to fall upon him. "Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor male prostitutes, nor homosexuals, nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor slanderers, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of God. Such were some of you, but you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God" (1 Corinthians 6:9-11). May he repent and seek the Lord’s transformation, for his sake and for yours.

You are not alone in this battle. The Lord is your refuge and strength (Psalm 46:1), and we encourage you to seek godly counsel, whether through a pastor, a trusted Christian friend, or a biblical counselor, who can help you navigate this season with wisdom and safety. If you have not already, consider reaching out to local resources for victims of domestic abuse. Your life and well-being are precious to God, and He does not intend for you to endure this suffering in silence.

Let us pray:

Heavenly Father, we come before You with hearts broken for this precious sister in Christ. Lord, You see the pain she has endured, the fear she has carried, and the strength You have given her to press forward. We ask that You would be her shield and defender, surrounding her with Your angels and Your peace. Break the chains of abuse in her home, Father, and silence every voice of oppression. Give her clarity, courage, and wisdom as she makes decisions for her future.

We pray for her husband, Lord. Convict his heart of the harm he has caused, and lead him to repentance. Soften his heart to Your truth, and if it be Your will, restore him to a right relationship with You and with his wife. But if not, Lord, we ask that You would remove any obstacles to her freedom and safety.

Provide miraculous help for her as she prepares her home, Father. Send laborers to assist her, open doors for a swift and fair sale, and grant her strength beyond her own. Heal her body, mind, and spirit, and remind her daily that she is deeply loved by You. Surround her with Your presence, and let her feel Your comfort in every moment of fear or loneliness.

We declare that no weapon formed against her shall prosper, and that every tongue that rises against her in judgment, You will condemn. She is more than a conqueror through Christ Jesus (Romans 8:37), and we trust You to lead her into a future filled with hope and peace.

In the mighty and matchless name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.

You are so loved, dear sister. Do not lose heart, for the Lord is fighting for you. Keep pressing into Him, and trust that He will lead you to still waters and green pastures (Psalm 23). If you need further guidance or support, we encourage you to reach out to a local church or biblical counselor who can walk with you through this season. You are not alone.

We are so sorry you’re enduring this. No one should face what you’re facing, especially while managing illness and the exhausting work of preparing a home. Your safety matters deeply. If you are ever in immediate danger, please reach your local emergency services right away. For free, confidential support any time, you can find a helpline in your country at findahelpline.com. Trained people are available to help you think through your situation and next steps, and you don’t have to do that alone.

We’re holding you up in prayer, and we want to gently remind you that practical help exists beyond this screen. Consider whether there is a trusted friend, a neighbor, or someone from a local church who could quietly assist with packing or decluttering, so you aren’t doing this alone while facing criticism and control. A domestic violence advocate can also help you safety-plan around the home sale, how to protect your information, your documents, and your calm during the process.

The way he tries to control your speech is not okay. You have a voice, and you are using it right now by reaching out. That takes real courage. We are praying that God will give you a clear path, tangible help, and steady moments of peace in the middle of this storm.

Lord, we bring this dear woman before You. Wrap Your protection around her in every way, physically, emotionally, and in her comings and goings. Give her wisdom to take the next step toward safety, and send practical, trustworthy help for the exhausting work of preparing her home. Quiet the cruelty that assails her, and let her feel Your nearness holding her steady. In Jesus’ name, amen.

[Spurgeon]

There is a vise provision, that every man should cleanse the street in front of his own house. Begin at home. I want to bring this old, old Truth of God vividly before your minds, to examine it in detail and press it home to your souls.

Not only is protection from danger vouchsafed, but a sense of comfort and happiness is communicated, making the child of God feel that he is at home under the shadow of the Almighty. Though I have nothing new, no bewitching novelty to introduce to you, come home to Him, for you have no other friend like He in earth or Heaven! Come back to Him, my Soul, and rest where you have often rested before.

I always say of home-made troubles, that they are very like home-made clothes, they never fit well and they are generally a long while before they are worn out. You had better take the troubles God sends you, they are more suitable for you! A man who dwells in a house is always to be found there, it is his home. Knock at this door by prayer, and you shall find it at home.

Your Brothers and Sisters in Christ will note your accent, they will perceive that you use their shibboleth, that you have been with Jesus and have learnt of Him. Our Home Mission needs men who can pray. And, Brethren, if we are to secure useful men and women we must choose those who can weep. If there were a little child that had lost its way and it came running up to you, a big, tall man, and said, "O, Sir, I do not know my way home, nor where I came from, but I feel quite sure you will take care of me till I have found my mother."

You know how you bank your fire up when you come to chapel in the evening, and have nobody at home, and want to keep the fire alight till you get home? That is often the condition of a Christian. Thank God it is going Home! We know that it is not death in some respects. It is but a change in our mode of life. Absent from the body we are present with the Lord! For You have delivered my soul from death, my eyes from tears, and my feet from falling. An eternity of mercies from the Eternal, Himself!

Soon his Master will say, “Thou hast had enough tarrying here in this vale of tears: go home to thy friends!” Oh! happy hour! Oh! blessed moment, when that shall be the word, “Go home to thy friends!” “Go home,” he will soon say, “go home to thy friends, and tell them how great things the Lord hath done for thee, and hath had compassion on thee.”

[Chrysostom]

The trials you endure are not hidden from Him who sees all, and the cry of your heart reaches the throne of grace even now. That your husband should cease from this cruelty and that you might find strength to prepare your dwelling for sale, these are petitions rightly lifted up, for we are commanded to cast every care upon the Lord. Yet remember, the soul must be exercised by such afflictions; a wife can become a school of training, not by returning abuse (for that is a womanish disease of the soul), but by bearing with patience, that you may prove the sincerity of your faith. Do not let his attempts to control your speech steal the cry of prayer from your lips, for though men may bind the tongue, they cannot silence the heart's groaning before God.

Take courage that you labor little by little despite illness; this is no small offering. God looks not at the size of the work but at the willingness of the sufferer. And while you toil, pray also for him who mistreats you, not that he be blessed in his sin, but that he be stopped short in it, that he add not further iniquity, and that his heart might be brought to repentance. For what does it profit to lift a fallen beast of burden and not stretch out a hand to a soul tumbling into the fire? As you pray for miraculous help in your practical needs, know that the help of God comes most surely when we approach Him not with an evil conscience, but in due season, before the throne of judgment rises. He who rescued the world when all were perishing will not abandon you in this bitter hour. Do not faint; your scars will one day speak for you with boldness.
