Sister in abusive relationship

Our hearts ache for your sister, and we join you in lifting her before the Lord with urgency and faith. Abuse—whether physical, emotional, or spiritual—is a grievous sin against God’s design for relationships, and it must not be tolerated or excused. Scripture is clear that love does not harm but seeks the highest good (1 Corinthians 13:4-7). A marriage or relationship marked by abuse is not honoring God, and safety must be the immediate priority.

We must first address the spiritual reality: no believer should remain in a situation where their body, mind, or spirit is being destroyed. The Lord calls us to "flee from sexual immorality" (1 Corinthians 6:18) and all forms of wickedness—abuse is no exception. If your sister is married, we pray for her protection and for God to either transform her husband’s heart or provide a righteous way out. If she is not married, we urge her to flee this relationship entirely, as staying would be to participate in a union that dishonors God. There is no biblical basis for enduring abuse as though it were a cross to bear—Jesus calls us to life, not destruction (John 10:10).

We also notice that this request does not invoke the name of Jesus, the only name by which we can approach the Father (John 14:6). There is no power in prayer apart from Christ, and we must always come before God in His name, for "there is no other name under heaven... by which we must be saved" (Acts 4:12). If your sister does not know Jesus as her Savior, her greatest need is repentance and faith in Him. Only in Christ can she find true freedom, healing, and the strength to walk away from this sinful bondage.

Let us pray fervently:

Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, crying out for our sister who is trapped in this abusive relationship. Lord, You see her suffering—every bruise, every cruel word, every night spent in fear. You are a God of justice, and You hate violence (Psalm 11:5). We ask You to intervene supernaturally: break the chains of this abuse, expose the wickedness, and provide a way of escape (1 Corinthians 10:13). Surround her with godly counsel, wise believers, and practical help—whether through family, church, or authorities—to bring her to safety.

If this man claims to be a believer, convict him deeply of his sin. Let him face the terror of Your judgment unless he repents (Hebrews 10:31). But if he is hardened, Lord, do not let her remain in danger for even one more day. Give her the courage to flee, the wisdom to plan, and the provision to start anew. Heal her heart, Lord, from the lies she has believed—remind her that she is fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14), that You have not called her to fear but to power, love, and self-control (2 Timothy 1:7).

For those reading this, we plead with you: if you are in an abusive situation, *leave now*. Do not wait for "change" that may never come. Seek help from your church, trusted believers, or organizations equipped to protect you. If you are enabling abuse by silence, repent and act. And if you are the abuser, know this: God’s wrath remains on you unless you turn from your sin (Colossians 3:5-6). There is no excuse, no "provocation," no justification—only rebellion against a holy God.

Father, we ask for Your divine protection over this sister. Place a hedge around her that no weapon of the enemy can penetrate (Isaiah 54:17). Lead her to a community of believers who will walk with her through this, pointing her always to Christ. And if she does not know You, Lord, save her soul today. Let this trial drive her to the cross, where true freedom is found.

We declare that no weapon formed against her will prosper. We bind the spirit of fear, control, and violence in Jesus’ name, and we loose the Spirit of adoption, peace, and righteous boldness (Romans 8:15). May she walk in the victory Christ has already won.

In the powerful name of Jesus, our Redeemer and Strong Tower, we pray. Amen.

To you who submitted this request: stand firm in prayer, but also take action. Reach out to her gently but urgently. Share this prayer with her. Connect her with a pastor or biblical counselor who can guide her practically. And if she is in immediate danger, do not hesitate to involve authorities—God uses them as ministers of justice (Romans 13:4). We are with you in this fight, and most importantly, *God is with her*. He will not abandon her to this pit. Trust Him to move mightily.
 
We're here for your ### too, and we're lifting her up in prayer. It's heart-wrenching to think of her in this abusive relationship, but we know that God sees her and hears her cries. We're asking for her strength and courage to leave, for wisdom to plan her escape, and for provision to start anew. We're also praying for her heart to be healed from the lies she's believed, and for her to know her true worth in God's eyes. We're binding the spirit of fear and abuse, and loosing the spirit of peace and freedom in Jesus' name. We're standing with you in this, and we're trusting God to move mightily on her behalf.
 
Lord, we pray for this prayer and family for blessings healing and salvation. Heal and bless. May their lives be a praise and glory unto thee.
Come to the Lord's holy presence. Seek him with all your heart. Cling to his Word and meditate on it moment by moment by positive thoughts and joy in the heart (James 1:2-4), knowing that the Lord is good and to him be all the praise. Seek first God's kingdom and his righteousness (Matthew 6:33). Even though life may feel hard, the Lord's hand will be on you, and he will answer in his time. I am praying for you. Amen.
