Our hearts ache deeply for you as we read your cry for help, and we are grieved by the pain and fear you are enduring. No woman of God should ever be subjected to such cruelty, especially within the sacred covenant of marriage. The words of your husband are not only sinful but are a direct violation of God’s design for marriage, which is to reflect the love and sacrifice of Christ for His Church. The Lord does not tolerate abuse, and neither should you. Let us speak truth into this darkness with the authority of Scripture and the compassion of Christ.
The Bible is clear about how a husband is to treat his wife. Ephesians 5:25-29 commands, *"Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the assembly, and gave himself up for her; that he might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word, that he might present the church to himself gloriously, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without defect. Even so husbands also ought 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 words and actions are in stark rebellion against this command. His behavior is not only emotionally destructive but is an affront to God Himself. Verbal abuse is a form of hatred, and 1 John 3:15 warns, *"Whoever hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life remaining in him."*
You are correct—this abuse is not God’s will for your life. The Lord calls you to peace, safety, and love. 1 Corinthians 7:15 says, *"Yet if the unbelieving departs, let there be separation. The brother or the sister is not under bondage in such cases, but God has called us in peace."* While this verse speaks specifically about an unbelieving spouse leaving, the principle of God’s call to peace applies here. You are not obligated to remain in a situation where your life or well-being is threatened. God does not require you to endure abuse as though it were a cross to bear. He is a God of justice, and He sees your suffering. Psalm 34:18 assures us, *"Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit."*
We must also address the urgency of your safety. If you fear for your life, we strongly urge you to seek immediate help. This may mean contacting a trusted pastor, a Christian counselor, or even local authorities if necessary. Proverbs 22:3 says, *"A prudent man sees danger and hides himself; but the simple pass on, and suffer for it."* It is not unfaithful to take practical steps to protect yourself. In fact, it is wise and honorable before God. If you have children, their safety must also be a priority. You are their protector, and the Lord will honor your efforts to shield them from harm.
Now, let us pray for you with the authority and love of Christ, who is your true Husband and Defender.

Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up our sister who is broken, afraid, and in desperate need of Your intervention. Lord, You see the tears she has cried in secret, the fear that grips her heart, and the wounds inflicted by the very one who vowed to cherish her. We ask You to act swiftly on her behalf. You are a God of justice, and we plead for Your righteous hand to move in this situation.
Father, we rebuke the spirit of abuse, hatred, and death that has taken root in this marriage. These words and actions are not of You, and we command them to cease in the name of Jesus. Lord, soften her husband’s heart or restrain his tongue and hands. If he is unsaved, we pray for a radical encounter with Your Holy Spirit that brings him to repentance. If he is a believer, we ask that You convict him deeply of his sin and lead him to true repentance and restoration. Do not let him rest until he turns from this wickedness.
Lord, we ask for supernatural protection over our sister. Place a hedge of angels around her, her home, and her children if she has any. Give her wisdom to know what steps to take, and provide her with godly counselors, pastors, or authorities who will act on her behalf. If she needs to leave, open the doors for her to do so safely. Supply every need—financial, emotional, and spiritual—as she seeks Your will.
Father, heal her heart. The wounds of verbal abuse run deep, and she needs Your comfort. Remind her of her worth in Christ, that she is fearfully and wonderfully made, and that You love her with an everlasting love. Restore her confidence and peace. Let her know she is not alone, for You are her ever-present help in trouble.
We also pray for her marriage, Lord. If it is Your will, bring redemption and healing. But even more, we pray for Your perfect will to be done in her life. If this marriage cannot be restored without further harm, give her the strength to walk in obedience to You, even if it means separation. You are a God who sets captives free, and we ask for freedom from this bondage of fear and abuse.
In the name of Jesus, we bind every spirit of fear, confusion, and despair. We declare that no weapon formed against her will prosper, and every tongue that rises against her in judgment will be condemned. You, Lord, are her refuge and strength, and she will not be moved.
Finally, Father, we ask that You surround her with Your people—those who will stand with her, pray for her, and support her in this time. Let her find a community of believers who will be Your hands and feet, showing her the love of Christ in tangible ways.
We thank You, Lord, for hearing our prayer. We trust in Your faithfulness and Your power to deliver. May Your will be done in this situation, and may Your name be glorified. In the precious and mighty name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.

Our sister, we want you to know that you are not powerless. The first step is to reach out for help—whether to a pastor, a Christian counselor, or a trusted believer who can walk with you through this. If you are in immediate danger, please contact local authorities or a domestic violence hotline. You are worth protecting, and God has not abandoned you.
We also encourage you to spend time in God’s Word, especially the Psalms, where you will find comfort in the cries of David and others who faced great distress. Psalm 56:8 says, *"You count my wanderings. You put my tears into your container. Aren’t they in your book?"* God sees your tears, and He is collecting them. He will not forget you.
If your husband claims to be a believer, it is right to confront his sin biblically. Matthew 18:15-17 outlines the process of addressing sin within the church. If he is unrepentant, this may require involving your pastor or church leadership. However, your safety must come first. Do not confront him alone if you fear retaliation.
Lastly, we want to remind you that divorce is not the unforgivable sin. While God hates divorce (Malachi 2:16), He also hates abuse and violence. If your husband remains unrepentant and the abuse continues, you have biblical grounds to consider separation or divorce for your protection. This is not a failure on your part but a recognition that his choices have broken the covenant. Seek godly counsel as you navigate this.
You are loved, sister. You are seen. You are not alone. Keep crying out to Jesus, who is your Advocate and your Healer. He will never leave you nor forsake you. Stand firm in His promises, and let Him lead you to safety and peace. We are praying for you and standing with you in the name of Jesus.
