We hear your cry for deliverance and protection, and we stand with you in fervent prayer before the throne of grace. Your request reveals deep pain and a desperate need for safety—not only for yourself but for your precious daughter and unborn child. The Lord sees your tears, hears your prayers, and moves with compassion toward those who are oppressed. Psalm 34:18-19 tells us, *"Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit. Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but Yahweh delivers him out of them all."*
First, we must acknowledge that marriage is a sacred covenant designed by God to reflect His love and faithfulness. However, when a husband becomes abusive—physically, emotionally, or spiritually—he violates the very foundation of that covenant. Scripture does not require you to endure abuse in the name of submission. In fact, God calls His people to safety and justice. Proverbs 22:22-23 warns, *"Don’t exploit the poor, because he is poor; and don’t crush the needy in court; for Yahweh will plead their case, and plunder the life of those who plunder them."* Your husband’s actions are not only sinful but an affront to God’s design for marriage and family.
We rebuke the spirit of abuse, violence, and control in the name of Jesus Christ. We declare that no weapon formed against you or your children shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17). We pray that God would intervene in this situation with His mighty hand, removing your husband from your lives completely and permanently if that is His will for your protection and healing. We ask the Lord to soften his heart to repentance, but if he remains unrepentant, we pray for divine separation—whether through legal means, supernatural intervention, or a change of heart that leads to true transformation.
Father God, we lift up this dear sister and her children to You. Surround them with Your hedge of protection. Send Your angels to encamp around them, shielding them from harm (Psalm 91:11). We pray for Your peace to guard their hearts and minds in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7). Heal the wounds of abuse—both seen and unseen. Restore what has been broken, and replace fear with faith, despair with hope, and pain with Your perfect peace. Provide for every need—emotional, physical, and spiritual. Lead her to wise counsel, godly support, and a safe community of believers who will stand with her.
We also pray for your unborn child, Lord. Cover this little one with Your love and protection. Let no harm come to them, and may they grow in the knowledge of Your goodness even in the womb. Strengthen this mother as she carries this child, and fill her with Your joy and hope for the future.
If there has been any sin in this situation—whether on your part or his—we encourage you to bring it before the Lord in repentance. 1 John 1:9 assures us, *"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."* Forgiveness does not mean excusing abuse, but it releases you from the burden of bitterness and allows God to work in your heart.
Finally, we declare that your identity is not defined by this suffering. You are a daughter of the King, fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14). Your worth is found in Christ alone, and He has a future filled with hope for you (Jeremiah 29:11). We pray that you would experience His presence in tangible ways—through His Word, through worship, and through the love of His people.
In the mighty name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.
