We are truly sorry to hear about the emotional abuse you are facing in your marriage, and we want you to know that you are not alone in this struggle. Firstly, we want to address that we do not see the name of Jesus Christ, Jesus, or Christ in your prayer request. It is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to God. We are instructed to pray in the name of Jesus. The Bible also tells us this about Jesus.
For in him all the fullness of Deity dwells in bodily form, and in him you are made full, who is the head of all principality and power. (Col 2:9)
It is important here also to mention two more verses:
For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself as a ransom for all; the testimony in its own times (1Tim 2:5)
in whom we have boldness and access in confidence through our faith in him. (Eph 3:12)
We encourage you to learn more about Jesus Christ, if you do not know him as savior already.
Regarding your situation, we want to remind you that God loves you and your daughter deeply, and He wants what is best for both of you. The Bible tells us that God hates divorce (Malachi 2:16), but it also acknowledges that there are circumstances where separation may be necessary for safety and emotional well-being. Emotional abuse is a valid reason to consider such actions.
In your case we want you to know that, Nor give place to the devil. (Eph 4:27)
Emotional abuse is not something anyone should have to endure and it can be demoralizing and the effects of the constant barrage of ill treatment will scar all involved. Removing yourself and your daughter from this abusive situation is a priority as your emotional well being is important to God. Emotional abuse falls under the wicked that crushes in the verse.
Better is a neighbor who is near than a brother far away, a friend far away is better than a brother who crushes. (Pro 27:10)
You have asked for divine guidance, protection, and empowerment, and we stand with you in prayer for these needs. Let's pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus, lifting up our sister Iarurk and her daughter, as well as their cats in this difficult time. Lord, we pray for Your divine guidance and protection over them as they navigate this challenging situation. Give Iarurk the courage and strength she needs to make the necessary decisions for her and her daughter's well-being. Surround them with Your love and provide for their every need, both emotionally and physically.
Father, we also pray that You would soften the heart of Iarurk's husband, that he may repent from his abusive behavior and turn towards You for healing and restoration. If it is not Your will that reconciliation occurs between Iarurk and her husband, Father in heaven we ask for your leading and guidance so the divorce be as painless as possible, and the emotional damage already inflicted reversed in Your mercy and grace. Yet we pray that the emotional scars are healed and hurts are replaced with love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, and self control. We pray that Iarurk's daughter may also experience your divine healing and protection and be given all she needs to forgive her earthly father and help restore him to your original purpose for him. This can only be through Jesus Christ and she should be protected from any harm with her inner most being knit to You, Father, as a result of Jesus' sacrifice to pay the penalty for all sin for all time. It is so easy to get hardened and scarred from emotional abuse, but let us replace the sorrow and hurt with joy and happiness and emotional healing in You.
In Jesus' name, we pray for Iarurk and her family and cats, trusting in Your love and faithfulness to see them through. Father God, you are bigger than this situation and You are in it regardless of how Iarurk's husband wants to behave, we pray that he becomes convicted of his actions and repents from this behavior and seeks reconciliation through Your power, grace, and mercy as only You can heal this hurt. Thank You, Father, for being a very present help in times of trouble. We ask all this in Jesus Name and Jesus' authority.
In times of trouble it is so comforting to read the promises You give us in Your holy Word. As believers in the saving power of Jesus Christ we have the promises of God in Psalms 91:15-6
He will call on me, and I will answer him. I will be with him in trouble. I will deliver him, and honor him. With long life will I satisfy him, and show him my salvation. (Psa 91:15-6
While going through this season of trouble, we pray it be ended as soon as possible in Jesus Name, we also pray that she be filled with peace and vigor as in Psalm 92.
It is a good thing to give thanks to Yahweh, to sing praises to your name, Most High; to proclaim your loving kindness in the morning, and your faithfulness every night, on an instrument of ten strings, and with a lute, with a solemn sound upon a harp. For you, Yahweh, have made me glad through your work. I will triumph in the works of your hands. How great are your works, Yahweh! Your thoughts are very deep. A senseless man does not know, neither does a fool understand this: though the wicked spring up as the grass, and all the evildoers flourish, they will be destroyed forever. But you, Yahweh, are on high forevermore. For, behold, your enemies, Yahweh, for, behold, your enemies shall perish. All the evildoers will be scattered. But you have exalted my horn, like that of the wild ox. I am anointed with fresh oil. My eye has also seen what I desired on my enemies, my ears have heard of the wicked enemies who rise up against me. The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree. He will grow like a cedar in Lebanon. They are planted in Yahweh's house. They will flourish in our God's courts. They will still bring forth fruit in old age. They will be full of sap and green, to show that Yahweh is upright. He is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him. (Psa 92:1-15)
Iarurk, Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, make your requests known to God. And God's peace which surpasses all comprehension will guard your heart and mind in Christ Jesus. (Phil 4:6)
Remember that the Lord is close to the brokenhearted; he rescues those whose spirits are crushed. (Psa 34:18) May His sheltering arms be around you as you may need them during this time as you traverse this difficult path.
While we are praying for you, we ask that you be diligent to keep your Christian walk a testimony of the Gospel. Please treat your husband with respect and love as best as you can and let him know you are praying for him. Only Jesus can change his heart and only Jesus and God the Father are perfectly righteous and are witnesses needed to condemn a man. Leave the condemnation to God, but also operate in the love of God as it is more powerful than vengeance and retribution. In all cases but especially here, love keeps no record of wrongs. It will be sorely tempting to rehash every grievance to anyone who will listen, but it is important NOT to do that and heal through Jesus actions on the cross and not well deserved punishment. Forgive as you have been forgiven and love whether or not it is deserved.
Don't use force to take revenge on a political enemy, but instead, quietly trust the matter to God; for the Scriptures say, He will take revenge, I will pay them what they have coming. Besides, as the Scriptures say, If your enemies are hungry, feed them; if they are thirsty, give them a drink and do not be tired of doing it, for by so doing you shall heap burning coals of disgrace upon their head. Do not be conquered by the evil, but conquer the evil by doing good. (Rom 12:19)
