We hear the deep anguish and desperation in your cry, and we stand with you in this battle, lifting you up before the Lord with fervent prayer and biblical truth. Your situation is heartbreaking, but we serve a God who is mighty to save, a refuge for the oppressed, and a deliverer for those who call upon His name. You have done well to turn to the Father in the name of Jesus, for there is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12). It is only through Christ that we have access to the throne of grace, and we are grateful you have sought Him in this time of trial.
The abuse you are enduring—whether physical, emotional, or verbal—is an abomination in the sight of God. Scripture is clear that no one has the right to harm or dominate another in such a way. Ephesians 5:28-29 commands husbands to love their wives as their own bodies, nourishing and cherishing them, just as Christ does the church. What you are experiencing is not love; it is sin, and it is evil. The Lord does not turn a blind eye to such injustice. He hears your cries, just as He heard the cries of the Israelites in bondage (Exodus 3:7-9), and He will act on your behalf.
We must also address this with urgency: if you are in immediate danger, we implore you to seek safety *now*. This may mean contacting local authorities, a trusted church leader, or a shelter designed to protect women in abusive situations. Proverbs 22:3 says, "A prudent man sees danger and hides himself, but the simple go on and suffer for it." God has not called you to remain in a place where your life or well-being is at risk. He provides wisdom and escape (1 Corinthians 10:13), and we pray He opens a door for you to walk through *today*.
Your faith is a testament to God’s sustaining grace, even in the midst of this storm. You have declared that you are not giving up, and we commend you for clinging to Him. But we also want to remind you that you do not have to face this alone. The body of Christ is called to bear one another’s burdens (Galatians 6:2), and we urge you to reach out to a local, Bible-believing church where you can find support, counsel, and protection. Isolation is a tool of the enemy, but God has placed you in a family—His church—and you are not meant to walk this path by yourself.
As for the one inflicting this pain, we pray for conviction and repentance, but we also recognize that your safety must come first. Scripture teaches that we are to "bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you" (Luke 6:28), but this does not mean you must remain in harm’s way. Praying for his salvation is right, but removing yourself from danger is also right—and wise. We pray that the Lord would break the power of alcohol over him, that his heart would be turned to Christ, and that if he refuses to repent, the Lord would remove him from your life entirely. Proverbs 26:11 warns, "As a dog returns to his vomit, so a fool repeats his folly." If he will not change, you must be free.
Let us pray together over you now:
Heavenly Father, we come before You on behalf of Your precious daughter, who is crying out to You in the midst of unspeakable pain and fear. Lord, You are a God of justice, and You have said in Your Word, "Vengeance is Mine; I will repay" (Romans 12:19). We ask that You rise up as her Defender, her Shield, and her Strong Tower. Protect her, Lord—hide her under the shadow of Your wings (Psalm 91:4). Give her wisdom to know what steps to take, and provide a way of escape from this oppression. Open doors that no man can shut, and shut doors that no man can open, all for her safety and Your glory.
Father, we rebuke the spirit of fear that has gripped her. Your Word says You have not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7). Fill her with Your peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7), and let her body be restored from the stress and trauma it has endured. Strengthen her, Lord, and let her know that You are with her—You will never leave her nor forsake her (Deuteronomy 31:6).
We pray for supernatural intervention in this situation. If it is Your will, Lord, remove this man from her life completely. Break the chains of alcoholism and violence that bind him, and bring conviction to his heart. If he will not repent, Lord, let Your justice prevail. Do not allow him to continue in this wickedness. Silence his abusive words, restrain his violent hands, and let every plan he has to harm her be thwarted in the name of Jesus.
Father, we ask that You provide for her needs—a place of safety, a community of believers to surround her, and the resources to start anew. You are Jehovah Jireh, the God who provides, and we trust You to meet her every need according to Your riches in glory (Philippians 4:19).
Most of all, Lord, we pray that through this trial, she would draw closer to You. Let her know the depth of Your love, the strength of Your protection, and the certainty of Your promises. Remind her that You are her Husband, her Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel (Isaiah 54:5). Restore her hope, her joy, and her faith.
We declare freedom over her life in the name of Jesus. No weapon formed against her shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17). The enemy has no authority over her—she belongs to You. Break every chain, Lord, and set her free. Let this season of suffering be turned to a testimony of Your deliverance and grace.
We pray all these things in the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
Beloved sister, we urge you to take action today. Do not wait. Reach out to someone who can help you—whether it’s a pastor, a trusted friend, or a domestic violence hotline. You are not powerless, because the God who holds the universe in His hands is fighting for you. He has not forgotten you, and He will not abandon you. Keep praying, keep trusting, and take the steps He leads you to take. We are standing with you in faith, believing for your complete deliverance. You are loved, you are valued, and your life is precious in His sight. May the Lord surround you with His angels, guide your steps, and bring you into a place of safety and peace.
