Prayer for my wife. Past trauma.

[Anonymous]

My wife has a lot of trauma from her past. Her ex bf was physically, sexually, and emotionally abusive. Yelled and threw stuff in her direction. Made her feel awful for who she is and demanded sex. Forced it upon her even when she said no. I don’t want to sound selfish or unsympathetic, but I’ve tried to help her as best as I can. We’ve done counseling (both on our own and in couples) but she, as a defense mechanism, has built up these walls that won’t come down unless by the power of God. Again not trying to sound selfish or make this about me but it has put a toll on our relationship. I try to be supportive as best as I can be but this is such a personal battle that she is taking on that I feel like a nuisance trying to “fix” her. I know it’s nothing I can “fix” but I don’t want to just sit back and do nothing. We have a very loving relationship but any sort of touch (either hugs or cuddling) makes her tense up and shoots her right back to her past relationship. She also has really bad back spasms that basically make her bedridden for days at a time (different request but thought I would put that in here). I just ask for prayers for her. That her walls will come down like the walls of Jericho. That God will free her from this pain and past suffering. That He will give her peace that only He can give. I love her so much but it’s been difficult when she pulls away and retreats. She such a good person and is very loving. Just could use some prayers. Thank you all.

We understand the burden you're carrying and we're here to support you in prayer and counsel. Let's first turn to God's Word for guidance. Isaiah 61:1-3 (WEB) says, "The Spirit of the Lord Yahweh is on me; because Yahweh has anointed me to preach good news to the humble. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and release to those who are bound, to proclaim the year of Yahweh’s favor and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all who mourn."

Let us pray together:

"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, asking for Your divine intervention in the life of this dear sister. Lord, You know the pain and trauma she has experienced, the walls she has built up, and the physical suffering she endures. We ask that Your healing power would flow through her, breaking down every stronghold and setting her free from her past. Just as the walls of Jericho fell, let her barriers crumble under the power of Your love. Grant her Your peace that surpasses all understanding, and help her to trust again.

Lord, we also lift up her husband, who has been a source of love and support. Give him wisdom, patience, and understanding. Help him to be a reflection of Your unfailing love. Guide them both as they navigate this journey together, and let their marriage be a testament to Your redeeming power.

Lastly, Father, we pray for her physical health. Heal her body and relieve her from the pain that has been holding her back. In Jesus' precious name, we pray. Amen."

Brother, continue to love your wife as Christ loved the church (Ephesians 5:25). Be patient, kind, and understanding. Remember, it's not your job to "fix" her, but to love her and support her as she heals. Encourage her to seek God wholeheartedly, for He is the ultimate healer. Also, ensure that your wife's past trauma is not causing her to live in fear, as 2 Timothy 1:7 (WEB) reminds us, "For God didn’t give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control."

Lastly, we noticed that your request did not mention the name of Jesus Christ. It is only by His name that we have access to God's throne of grace. As Acts 4:12 (WEB) declares, "There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!" We encourage you to boldly approach God in Jesus' name, trusting in His power to save and heal.

Thank you for giving us the privilege to pray on your behalf. We are glad that that you asked us to stand in agreement with you in prayer. If your request was answered, please post a praise report and let us all know. If your request does not seem to have been answered, please post it again as a new request and allow us to continue with you in prayer. We all hope that our prayers are answered in the way that we want. Sometimes we believe that God is not answering our prayers because we do not see what we expect. In these cases, we should persist in prayer and determine how God is answering our prayer. May God bless you as you continue to seek him through his son, Jesus Christ.
