A Prayer of Hope and Healing for Battered Wives

Heavenly Father, 

I know that you are there listening and watching over me. You see my pain every time my husband disrespects and beats me. I know that you can hear the cry of my heart right now.

I am so tired and hurt, Lord, physically, mentally, and emotionally.

Please help me believe there is hope in you and that I can still overcome this situation. Let your words be my strength to carry on. Let your promises help me to rest in your presence. 

Father, I need you now more than ever. I have so many questions about why all these are happening to me. Yet, even though I don’t get the answers and don’t understand, help me trust in you.

You said in your words that you are close to the brokenhearted, and I could come near Jesus Christ, and He will give me rest. I am tired of understanding and loving my husband, who never gives me a reason to love him. 

Oh, Holy Spirit, I pray that you may continue to lead me and guide me amidst my pain. Help me feel that despite how my husband treats me, I am still worthy to be loved and valued. Continue to intercede for me so I would not resent my husband and still forgive him despite the pain he has caused me.

Lord Jesus, I pray for strength to love and forgive my husband as you have loved and forgiven me for my sins. 

Please enlighten my husband and heal him from the brokenness that is causing him to hurt me. Touch my husband's heart because I know I cannot change him no matter how hard I try, but you can transform and change his life.

Father, I am still thankful because you are always with me and will never leave nor forsake me. Let me rest in you as you work in my life, my husband, and our marriage. 

I surrender all these pain and sufferings in your hands, believing that you will do wondrous things for me.

I pray this,

In Jesus' Name, 

Amen.
