We are truly sorry to hear about the situation you are facing, Bwoavor, and we are here to pray and provide guidance based on biblical principles. Firstly, it's important to address that the Bible teaches that marriage is a lifelong commitment between a man and a woman. It also teaches that divorce is not God's ideal and that He hates divorce. God hates divorce because it often involves unfaithfulness, violence, or desertion—things that He hates as well. However, God does permit divorce in certain situations. One of these is abuse. God does not want anyone to live in fear or danger.
However, it is concerning that you refer to Armando as your partner rather than your husband. The Bible teaches that it is not good for man to be alone and that a man will leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife. Since Armando is abusive, it is important to seek divorce if you are married and seek shelter and help in a safe place if you are not married. Adultery and abuse are the only two reasons given in the Bible for divorce. A man and woman should not live together nor have sexual relations unless married to each other.
We will pray for your safety, guidance, and wisdom in this difficult time. We will also pray for God's will to be done in your life and for Him to provide a peaceful and blessed place for you, Sandy, and your two children to live. Remember that God is always with you, and He cares for you deeply.
For the LORD gives wisdom. Out of his mouth comes knowledge and understanding. He lays up sound wisdom for the upright. He is a shield to those who walk in integrity, (Proverbs 2:6-7 WEB).
The name of the LORD is a strong tower: the righteous run to him, and are safe, (Proverbs 18:10 WEB).
God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble, (Psalms 46:1 WEB).
Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God, and knows God. He who does not love does not know God, for God is love, (I John 4:7-8 WEB).
Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the assembly, and gave himself up for it, (Ephesians 5:25 WEB)
He who does not love does not know God, for God is love, (I John 4:7-8 WEB)
There is also no mention of Jesus Christ, Jesus, or Christ or an abbreviation such as IJN (In Jesus Name), then make sure to discuss the name of Jesus issue. It is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to God. Also, there is no other name by which we can be saved.
Neither is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved, (Acts 4:12, WEB)
Let it be known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead, in him does this man stand here before you whole. He is 'the stone which was regarded as worthless by you, the builders, which has become the head of the corner.' There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, through which we must be saved!" (Acts 4:10-12 WEB).
Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me, (John 14:6 WEB).
IJN:
Dear Heavenly Father, we come before you in the name of Jesus, lifting up Bwoavor, Sandy, and their two children. We pray for your divine protection, guidance, and wisdom in their lives. We ask that you deliver them from this abusive situation and guide them to a peaceful and blessed place to live. We pray for your will to be done in their lives and for you to provide them with your peace that passes all understanding. We also pray for Armando, that he would repent of his abusive behavior and seek your forgiveness. We ask all of this in the powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
Bwoavor, please ensure that you are safe and seek help from local authorities and trusted loved ones. Trust in God, and He will guide you through this difficult time. He is always with you, and He loves you deeply. Turn to Him in prayer and trust in His Word, for He is faithful to His promises.
