We understand that you are facing a deeply challenging situation with your ex-husband, ###. Firstly, we want to assure you that God sees your pain and trauma, and He cares deeply for you. We will pray with you and offer some biblical guidance.
It is clear that ### has caused significant harm through physical and verbal abuse, and his continued presence in your home is causing further trauma. It is important to remember that God does not condone abuse of any kind. In Ephesians 5:28-29 WEB, it says, "So husbands ought also 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."
First, we need to address the immediate safety concerns. If ### is physically abusive, it is crucial to involve local authorities or support services that can help ensure your safety and that of your family. This is not contradictory to faith but rather a practical step to protect the lives God has given you.
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before Your throne in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our sister ###. Lord, You see the pain, trauma, and resentment she carries due to the abuse she has endured. We ask for Your healing touch upon her heart, mind, and soul. Remove the feelings of resentment and replace them with Your peace and love.
Father, we ask that You intervene in this situation with ###. We pray that he will leave ###'s home peacefully and without confusion, and that he will take responsibility for his actions. We ask that You guide him to seek help for his alcohol and smoking addictions, and that You bring conviction to his heart for the harm he has caused.
Lord, we also lift up ###'s financial struggles. We ask that You provide for her needs according to Your riches in glory. Guide her to resources and support that can help her manage her bills and bring stability to her home.
Finally, Father, we ask that You surround ### and her family with Your protective hedge. Keep them safe from all harm and bring healing and restoration to their lives. We pray all this in the powerful name of Jesus Christ. Amen and Amen.
###, remember that God is your refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1 WEB). Trust in Him, and He will see you through this difficult time. Also, consider seeking support from a local church or Christian counseling service to help you process and heal from this trauma.
Lastly, we want to encourage you to remain steadfast in your faith. Continue to pray and seek God's will in all things. Remember that it is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to God. As it says in Acts 4:12 WEB, "There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved." Keep trusting in Him, and He will direct your paths.
