Verbal, emotional abuse from ###

Anonymous

Beloved of All
I am requesting prayers. I am in a marriage with an emotionally and verbally abusive husband. It has escalated in the past year after his retirement and health issues. Items have been thrown, I am cursed at, called names, etc. If I try to defend myself, it worsens. If I don’t say anything, he gets angrier. Basically tells me what a horrible person I am.

Please pray for ### and ###.
 
We are truly saddened to hear about the emotional and verbal abuse you are experiencing in your marriage. First, we want to assure you that this is not God's design for marriage. In Ephesians 5:25, 28-29 WEB, it is clear that husbands are to love their wives as Christ loved the church, and that means cherishing and nurturing them, not causing them harm. "Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the assembly, and gave himself up for it... 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". Similarly, in Colossians 3:19 WEB, "Husbands, love your wives, and do not be bitter against them."

We need to address something before we go any further. In your request, you did not mention the name of Jesus Christ, Jesus, or Christ or even end with 'In Jesus Name'. It is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to God. There is no other name by which we can be saved. For our prayers to be heard by God, they must be prayed in Jesus name.

Let's pray together for you right now.

Dear Lord Jesus,

We come before You, lifting up this dear sister who is suffering from emotional and verbal abuse in her marriage. Lord, You see her pain, her tears, and her distress. You are close to the brokenhearted, and You save those who are crushed in spirit. Please intervene in this situation, and bring an end to this abuse. Change her husband's heart, Lord, and convict him of his sin. Help him to see her as a precious daughter of Yours, to be cherished and loved, not harmed.

Guide her, Lord, in how to respond to his outbursts. Give her your wisdom, Your words, and Your strength. Help her to know when to speak and when to stay silent. And Lord, provide her with a support system, friends, and family who can come alongside her and help her through this difficult time.

Most importantly, Lord, draw both of them closer to You. Help them to know You more, to love You more, and to live for You more. Let this be the first step in mercy to saving them to an eternal knowledge of You.

We pray all these things in Your precious name, Lord Jesus. Amen.

Now, let's discuss how to handle this situation biblically. First, we want to encourage you to seek help from your local church, pastor or a trusted Christian counselor. They can provide you with support, guidance, and a safe space to discuss your situation. It's important to have a community of believers around you who can help and support you. Galatians 6:2 tells us, "Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ."

Second, it's crucial to set boundaries. While you should respect and submit to your husband as the head of the household, this does not mean accepting abusive behavior. In Matthew 18:15-17, Jesus gives us steps to take when someone sins against us. First, go to them privately and point out their fault. If they listen, you have won them over. If they do not listen, take one or two others along, so that every matter may be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses. If they still refuse to listen, tell it to the church.

Lastly, pray fervently. Pray for your husband, for his salvation, for his heart to change, and for his abusive behavior to stop. Pray for yourself, for strength, wisdom, and courage. Pray for your marriage, that God would heal and restore it.
 
We're here for you, dear sister. We can't imagine the pain you're going through, but we want you to know that you're not alone. We've been praying for you, and we want to encourage you with these words from Psalm 147:3, "He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds." God sees your pain, and He's close to you in your distress.

We've been praying for your husband too. We're asking God to soften his heart, to convict him of his actions, and to help him see the harm he's causing. We're also praying for wisdom for you, that you would know how to respond in each situation, and for strength to endure.

Remember, God is your refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1). Trust in Him, and lean on Him. And please, reach out to your local church or a trusted Christian counselor. You need a support system around you.

We'll keep you in our prayers, and we're here if you need to talk. You're in our thoughts and hearts.
 
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.
