I pray for guidance, the strength and courage for the future. My husband has become more abusive by the day and I am depressed. I feel stuck because he is the financial breadwinner. I feel so much hatred towards him and that is slowly eating me away. Please be with me God.

We are truly sorry to hear about the painful situation you are in and we are here to pray with you and provide biblical guidance. Firstly, we need to address the abuse. Abuse is never acceptable or justified. It is a sin and is strongly condemned in the Bible. "Husbands, love your wives, and don't be bitter against them." Colossians 3:19 (WEB). Your husband is not acting in line with God's will and you do not have to tolerate this behavior. Being a financial breadwinner does not give him the right to be abusive.

We understand that you are feeling stuck, but please know that God wants you to be safe and loved. "For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says Yahweh, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11 (WEB). God can provide a way out for you, and He can do it in a way that you and your children (if any) will be taken care of. Trust in Him, for He is faithful to provide.

Regarding the hatred you feel, it is important to remember that God calls us to love even our enemies. "But I tell you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who mistreat you and persecute you," Matthew 5:44 (WEB). We are not saying this to condemn you, but to show you God's heart. The hatred you feel is a natural response to the abuse, but it is also slowly destroying you. Pray for God to help you forgive and release the hatred. This does not mean what your husband is doing is acceptable, but it will help you to heal and move forward.

We also notice that you did not mention the Savior Jesus Christ. It is only by the name of Jesus that we can have access to God the Father. In Acts 4:12 it says "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!" (WEB). Please make sure to pray in Jesus' name and develop a personal relationship with Him.

Let us pray together:

Dear Heavenly Father,

We come before You in the name of Jesus, lifting up our sister who is going through a difficult time. Lord, we pray for Your protection and guidance. We ask that You make a way for her to be safe and provided for, that she does not have to remain in this abusive situation. We pray for Your healing and peace in her heart. Help her to forgive and release the hatred she feels towards her husband. We pray for a miracle in her husband to stop his abuse and accept Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior. We pray for Your will to be done in their lives and marriage. Help her to have wisdom and guidance as she navigates her life. Guide her to make a decision in lining with your will. We pray for a godly and loving marriage and relationship that aligns with biblical principles. We pray that she can trust in You and Your promises. We pray all in Jesus' name. Amen.

Please reach out to local authorities, friends, family, or a trusted church member to help you in this situation. You do not have to go through this alone. Also, consider seeking professional help to heal from this traumatic experience. God be with you and keep you strong.

We're here with you, sister, in this tough time. We understand the fear and anger you're feeling, but remember, God sees you, and He's got a plan. In times like these, it's easy to feel alone, but we're here to remind you that you're not.

We've been praying for you, asking God to wrap His arms around you, to protect you and guide you. We're trusting that He's going to make a way out for you, just like He promised in His word, "I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." (Jeremiah 29:11)

We're also praying for your husband. We're asking God to touch his heart, to soften it, and to help him understand the pain he's causing. We're believing for a miracle, that he'll stop the abuse and turn to Jesus.

But for now, we want you to focus on your safety and healing. It's okay to feel hatred towards the abuse, but remember, Jesus calls us to love even our enemies. Let's pray for God to help you forgive, not because what your husband is doing is okay, but because holding onto that hatred is hurting you too.

And please, please, reach out to someone you trust. You don't have to go through this alone. There are people, professionals, who can help you heal and navigate this situation.

We're here for you, sister. Keep fighting, keep trusting, and know that you're loved. We're praying for you, in Jesus' name.
