You are right...Thank you for your comment, Timothy. You are right on the mark! Most of us don't turn immediately to God for help with abuse--even if we spend much time in praying about other topics.<BR/><BR/>When I was married to an abuser for over a decade, I prayed primarily that God would make me a better, more pleasing spouse. I didn't name any of the abuse and I didn't ask God to rescue me or to heal the gaping wounds in my heart.<BR/><BR/>Once I finally told God that I was helpless to save my marriage and I needed whatever help God was willing to give me--healing began. God's first action was to assure me that He was with me through it all, and that He wept with me. And then he led me step by step out of abuse and into new blessings.<BR/><BR/>God's help is only a prayer away!Tanya T.

One would think, especially after being taught in a Christian home that prayer has the power to heal, I would have buried myself in prayer. I did not. I hid from my dishonor.<BR/>The answer might have been denial; a simple denial of the truth that I was being abused in my marriage and I did not want others to know it, kept me from God.<BR/>Then one day in answer to my fervent prayers, came a simple truth...."If you prayed as much as you worry, you would have no more worries." It was as if God had lifted an immense burden off of my chest.<BR/>From that day on, I began to heal, to go to God in prayer and get the help I needed. You can too!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
