We are truly heartbroken to hear about the mental abuse that you and your children have endured. We stand with you in prayer, seeking God's intervention and healing in this situation.
Firstly, we want to address the issue of abuse. The Bible tells us that husbands are to love their wives as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her Ephesians 5:25 WEB. Any form of abuse, whether mental, emotional, or physical, is not of God and is not acceptable.
We need to remember that our battle is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world's rulers of the darkness of this age, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places Ephesians 6:12 WEB. We have authority in the name of Jesus to resist the devil, and he will flee from us James 4:7 WEB.
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus, lifting up this family that has been affected by mental abuse. We pray for Your healing and intervention in their lives. We ask that You would break the strongholds of the enemy and grant them freedom from anxiety, abuse, and hate.
We pray for the husband, that You would convict his heart and bring him to repentance.
