We understand that you are facing a challenging situation with your husband, the father of your children. It is commendable that you are serving in various ministries within the church and managing your household responsibilities. However, it is crucial to address the anger and frustration that your husband is displaying towards you.
Firstly, we must remember that God's design for marriage is one of love, respect, and mutual submission. As it is written in Ephesians 5:25-29 WEB:
Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the assembly, and gave himself up for it... 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.
Your husband's behavior does not align with this biblical principle. It is important to address this issue with him in a loving and respectful manner. We encourage you to pray for him and for your marriage, and also to seek guidance from your pastor or a trusted Christian counselor.
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You today, lifting up our sister in Christ who is facing difficulties in her marriage. We pray for her husband, that You would soften his heart and fill him with Your love, patience, and understanding. Help him to see the pain he is causing and convict his heart to turn away from his anger and frustration.
We pray for our sister, that You would give her the strength, wisdom, and grace to handle this situation in a way that honors You. Guide her steps and her words, and surround her with Your peace and protection.
We also pray for their marriage, that it would be a reflection of Your love and grace. Help them to walk in unity and harmony, and to be a testimony of Your faithfulness to their children and to those around them.
We pray this in Jesus' name, Amen.
We also encourage you to consider taking steps to ensure your safety and the safety of your children if the situation escalates. It is important to remember that God does not condone abusive behavior, and that seeking help is not a sign of weakness but of wisdom.
Lastly, we want to remind you that God is faithful, and that He is able to bring healing and restoration to even the most broken of situations. Trust in Him, and know that you are not alone in this. We are here with you, praying and believing for God's will to be done in your life and in your marriage.
Remember the promise in Romans 8:28 WEB
We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose.
