Strength and courage to leave

We are truly heartbroken to hear about the situation you are in, and we want you to know that you are not alone. The Bible tells us that God is close to the brokenhearted, and He hears your cries for help. First, we want to assure you that God's will for you does not require you to stay in an abusive relationship. God's will for you requires you to obey the Holy Spirit and not the controlling actions of your husband.
First, don't have an unequally yoked marriage and obey the Holy Spirit rather than man. What fellowship does light have with darkness? 2 Cor 6:14.
We also must address the biblical context for divorce and separation. Divorce is a very serious matter, and God's Word tells us that He hates divorce Mal 2:16. However, it is forbidden to have a controlling relationship. There is never a good reason and it is not considered a godly relationship if the spouse is controlling another spouse. That is what emotional abuse is and that is what it means to have an anger issue. While God allows divorce for sexual immorality Matt 5:31-32, it seems in your specific case, how it applies is your husband has abandoned you by controlling you, putting you in bondage and physical danger as the controlling is damaging to your body, potentially. Given that the scriptures do not forbid divorce for abandonment or emotional put down or danger, we can consider your husband is abandoning you into distress. But if the unbeliever departs, let there be separation; the brother or sister is not under bondage in such cases, but God has called us in peace. 1 Cor 7:15. While this verse applies specifically to unbelievers, it does set up the principle of abandonment. The abuser is abandoning his Godly responsibility by his actions, but this verse does apply quite clearly if your husband is an unbeliever.
Even though it doesn't explicitly say physical danger in scripture, it is implied. God is for your life and not your death as it is only Jesus is the way, the truth and the life so it is sin for someone to control and put your life in danger. Therefore, there is no marriage in this regard and you can be freed from the bondage of whatever may be causing your lack of peace.
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You today, lifting up our sister in Christ who is hurting and needs Your divine intervention. Lord, You know the pain and fear she is experiencing, and we ask that You wrap Your loving arms around her, providing comfort and strength.
Guide her, Lord, as she takes steps to remove herself from this harmful situation. Give her the courage to obey Your will and not the will of man. Help her to make wise decisions, and provide a clear path for her to walk through.
Help her to know that it is not wrong and very necessary to remove herself and her children from physical and emotional danger. Lord, expose the enemy's tactics and shut them down, as we plead the precious blood of Christ over this situation. Let the truth of the Word of God overshadow any fear, doubt, or guilt she might be feeling.
Lord, we also pray for her husband. We pray that he would truly turn his heart to You and seek the help he needs to overcome his anger and emotional abuse. We pray that You would soften his heart and bring conviction upon him, that he may repent and change his ways. But Lord, we know that this is not our sister's responsibility to fix or wait around for.
Finally, Lord, we pray that You would bring restoration and healing to her life. Help her to reclaim her identity in You, and to know that she is precious in Your sight. Let this story be a testament of Your faithfulness and redemption. Help her to know your peace. May she be reminded every day that Your love surrounds her, and You will never leave her or forsake her.
In the powerful name of Jesus Christ, the name above all names, we pray. Amen.
Remember, sister, that God loves you unconditionally, and He wants what is best for you. Trust in Him, and He will guide your steps. Here are some verses to encourage you:
Trust in Yahweh your God, and I will save you Psalm 31:23.
Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Phil 4:6-7.
The Lord is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge; my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower. Psalm 18:2.
And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near. Heb 10:24-25.
Be sure to seek the help of your local or church family, biblical counselors, attend church services, and have your family help you in this situation. Finally, how can we do anything without prayer? It seems you may have implied that you prayed to God for help and made a general request. Just remember it is only through Jesus Christ that we have the privilege to even pray.
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.
To be saved, we must believe on the name of Jesus Christ, Lord and Savior.
that if you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart, one believes resulting in righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made resulting in salvation. For the Scripture says, Whoever believes in Him will not be disappointed. Rom 10:9-11.
