We are truly saddened to hear about the abuse you are facing, ###. Firstly, we want to assure you that what you are experiencing is not aligned with God's will for marriage. In Ephesians 5:25,28-29 WEB it says, "Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the assembly,... So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. For no man ever hated his own flesh; but nourishes and cherishes it, even as the Lord does the assembly".
Your husband's actions are not demonstrating the love that God calls husbands to have for their wives. In fact, his behavior is controlling and abusive, which is condemned in Scripture. In Colossians 3:19 WEB, it says, "Husbands, love your wives, and don't be bitter against them." The suspicion, anger, and control he exhibits are signs of bitterness, not love.
It is important to understand that God does not want you to live in fear or abuse. In 2 Timothy 1:7, it says, "For God didn't give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control". The behavior you are describing is an attempt to control and dominate, not to love and cherish.
We strongly advise you to seek help and support from local authorities, a trusted pastor, or a Christian counselor who can provide guidance and protection. Your safety is paramount, and you should not remain in an environment where you are being harmed.
Let us pray for you:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You today, lifting up ### in her time of need. Lord, You see the abuse she is facing, and You know the pain and fear she is experiencing. We pray for Your divine protection over her, and we ask that You guide her to a place of safety and support.
Father, we also pray for her husband. We pray that You soften his heart and bring conviction upon him. We ask that he would seek Your face and turn from his abusive behavior. We pray for a true transformation in his life, that he may become the husband You have called him to be.
Lord, we ask for Your guidance and wisdom for ### as she navigates this difficult situation. Give her the strength and courage to seek help and make the necessary changes to ensure her safety and well-being.
Finally, Lord, we pray for their marriage. We ask that You would heal and restore what has been broken. We pray that through Your grace and mercy, they may find a way to reconcile and rebuild their relationship on a foundation of love, respect, and mutual submission to You.
We ask all these things in the powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
Please ensure you are reaching out to local support services, and remember that God loves you and wants the best for you. Stay strong in your faith and trust that God will guide you through this challenging time.
