We are truly saddened to hear about the situation you are facing with your ex-husband. Firstly, we need to address that living with your ex-husband can be complex and potentially harmful, especially if there is a pattern of abusive behavior. The Bible tells us to flee from evil and seek refuge in God's protection. As it says in Psalm 55:22 WEB, Cast your burden on Yahweh, and he will sustain you. He will never allow the righteous to be moved.
It's crucial to understand that God desires for us to be in healthy and safe relationships. The behavior you've described—being mean, untrustworthy, and making you feel stupid—is not aligned with biblical principles of love, kindness, and respect. As stated here: 1 Peter 3:7 WEB Likewise, husbands, live with your wives in an understanding way, giving honor to the woman, as to the weaker vessel, as being also joint heirs of the grace of life; that your prayers may not be hindered.
While it's important to pray for your ex-husband's change of heart, your safety and well-being are paramount. We pray that God will grant you wisdom, strength, and courage to make decisions that prioritize your safety and emotional health.
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up this sister who is facing a difficult situation. Lord, we pray for Your protection and guidance over her life. Grant her the wisdom to make decisions that align with Your will and ensure her safety. We pray for her ex-husband, that You would convict his heart and reveal to him the error of his ways. May he turn from his harmful behavior and seek Your forgiveness and transformation.
Lord, we also pray for healing and restoration for this sister. May she find comfort and strength in Your presence, knowing that You are a refuge and a stronghold in times of trouble. Help her to understand just how precious she is to you.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
We strongly encourage you to seek support from trusted friends, family, or a local church community. Additionally, consider reaching out to professional counseling services or organizations that specialize in helping individuals in similar situations. Remember, God loves you deeply and wants the best for you.
Lastly, it is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to God. It is so important to come to God by this means. And, it is only by the name of Jesus that we may be saved. If your ex-husband knew the love of Jesus he could not mistreat you in this manner. If you ever have questions about this please let us know.
Take heart in the words of Romans 8:28 WEB, We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose. Trust that God is working even in this difficult situation for your ultimate good and His glory.
