THERE'S NOTHING HOLY ABOUT ABUSE

Ephesians 5:22 Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands as you do to the Lord. Proverbs 29:22 An angry person stirs up strife, and a hot-tempered person abounds in transgression.

Being a submissive wife to your husband means that you focus on being his helper, lover, and supporter, not his property or slave. Submitting to the will of your husband is a sign of complete trust and love and can significantly improve your marriage.
People never let anyone use scripture to keep you in an abusive relationship. Abusive behavior is a sickness of some other underlying problems, so sending someone home just to pray, could be a death sentence. Getting physical and mental help is a must, prayers will help, but you must address the underlying issues as well. While Scripture may have been used to keep people quiet about their experiences of abuse or to urge them to stay in an abusive relationship, the Bible is clear that God opposes those who oppress, marginalize, and abuse others.

Colossians 3:19 Husbands, love your wives, and do not be harsh with them.
1 Peter 3:7Likewise, husbands, live with your wives in an understanding way, showing honor to the woman as the weaker vessel, since they are heirs with you of the grace of life, so that your prayers may not be hindered.

Father, we thank You for a new day in our right minds, Lord, we thank You for mercy grace and favor, so much favor, Lord. Father, we come together on behalf of all that are being abused, right now in the Holy name of Jesus. Father, teach Husbands, how to love their wives, just as Christ loved the church. Let, us not provoke our children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Word. Lord, help us see our children as gifts from You and let us not bring harm or pain to them. Lord, bless the men that live in a silent world of abuse, give them the strength and courage to stand and speak out, and prosecute their oppressors. Lord, help them recognize the differences between loving submission and slavery. So, they can address the mental abuse that is subtle and invisible, as well. Father, some maybe afraid to leave, but they know this situation is not God-honoring or safe. Lord, give them the courage and strength to leave this unsafe environment.  Lord, they are in so much pain, how do they heal from this abuse? How do they trust other people, or trust themselves to tell a good relationship from a bad one in the future? Jehovah Rapha, help them overcome the weight of anxiety and depression that is crushing them right now, for themselves and so that You can continue to use them for Kingdom work. In Jesus name Amen
