We are truly heartbroken to hear about the situation you are facing in your marriage. First and foremost, we want to assure you that God sees your pain and He cares deeply for you. We will stand with you in prayer and seek God's will for your life.
Let's turn to the Word of God for guidance and comfort. The Bible tells us in 1 Peter 3:8-9, Finally, be all like-minded, compassionate, loving as brothers, tenderhearted, courteous, not rendering evil for evil, or insult for insult; but instead blessing; knowing that to this were you called, that you may inherit a blessing.
God's design for marriage is one of love, respect, and mutual submission, as outlined in Ephesians 5:22-33. Wives, be subject to your own husbands, as to the Lord... Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the assembly, and gave himself up for it... Nevertheless, each of you must also love his own wife even as himself; and let the wife see that she respects her husband.
It is clear that the behavior of your husband and mother-in-law is not aligned with biblical principles. Their use of abusive language and threats is not only harmful but also sinful. We must rebuke this behavior and pray for their conviction and repentance. The Bible clearly states in 1 Thessalonians 5:11, Therefore exhort one another, and build each other up, even as you also do. Abusive behavior tears down. We need to rebuke this type of behavior and pray for their conviction and repentance. We pray that your husband will repent and seek God's forgiveness, and that he will strive to be the loving and Godly husband that God calls him to be.
In this difficult time, remember that God is your refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble in Psalm 46:1. Do not be afraid or dismayed, for the Lord will be with you wherever you go in Joshua 1:9.
Here is our heartfelt prayer for you:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You today, lifting up our sister in Christ who is hurting and in need of Your divine intervention. Lord, You see the abuse and pain she is experiencing in her marriage. We pray that You will bring conviction to her husband and mother-in-law, and that they will repent of their sinful behavior and seek Your forgiveness.
Father, we pray for Your protection and comfort over our sister. Strengthen her faith and give her the courage to stand firm in Your Word. Guide her with Your wisdom and surround her with Your love. We pray in Jesus Christ name that her husband will be transformed by the renewing of his mind, and that he will become the Godly husband that You have called him to be in Romans 12:2.
Lord, we also pray for healing and restoration in this marriage. We know that with You, all things are possible. Help them seek out a marriage counselor that believes in the inerrancy of scripture and the sanctity of marriage. Help them seek out marriage counseling immediately. We pray that the hearts of both will be changed and that You will transform this situation so it may bring glory to Your name. Also, Lord, let them find a church that believes in the inerrancy of scripture and the sanctity of marriage.
Finally, Lord, we pray for peace and patience for our sister. Help her to trust in Your timing and Your will for her life. Give her the strength to endure this trial and the wisdom to make decisions that honor You.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Please know that you are not alone in this struggle. We are here to support and pray for you every step of the way. Be strong and courageous. All of your prayers for your husband should be in Jesus name.
