Please pray for an abusive husband.

[sabresong]

I came to Christ a month ago. My wife brought me to Him over the last three years. And I need Him now more than I ever knew.

I am abusive. My wife, who brought me to Christ, is my third, and the first to call it what it is. She's left me, with good reason. And while I hope that God will change her heart, I must accept the truth about myself. All three marriages ended because I'm the sweetest, kindest, most gentle and supportive partner, when I get angry I become something else entirely. Only now do I see it for what it is.

I've blamed everyone else for my actions. I hit because I felt threatened. It wasn't me, it was the rage. My father made me into this. A hundred other justifications. But not one truth.

This must end now. Not to bring her back, but because every time I struck one of my partners, I struck Christ. Every obscenity, every insult, every threat was done against Christ, and against all my brothers and sisters in Christ. I know this now.

I ask that you all pray for me, that God will change me. I'm taking steps, and am in therapy for depression and anxiety. I plan to bring this new self realization to the attention of my therapist at my next appointment.

Please, friends, pray for me. I don't want to be like this anymore.

You've taken the first step toward a solution by admitting your sin and not blaming others for it. This shows that there is hope! I assume you know that you need to make amends if possible with those women you've hurt.

I pray for complete deliverance from the rage. Jesus Christ said that He came to set the captives free! I pray that you will soon know this freedom!

Luke 4:16-20--
He came to Nazareth, where He had been brought up. As usual, He entered the synagogue on the Sabbath day and stood up to read. The scroll of the prophet Isaiah was given to Him, and unrolling the scroll, He found the place where it was written:

The Spirit of the Lord is on Me,
because He has anointed Me
to preach good news to the poor.
He has sent Me
to proclaim freedom to the captives
and recovery of sight to the blind,
to set free the oppressed,
to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.

He then rolled up the scroll, gave it back to the attendant, and sat down. And the eyes of everyone in the synagogue were fixed on Him. He began by saying to them, “Today as you listen, this Scripture has been fulfilled.”​

God is working!!!
To see the issues, to see it’s not someone else’s fault is a huge step. God can change us in ways we never thought possible and in ways we couldn’t even of thought of. Nothing is impossible!!!
Do you have a Pastor you can talk with? A mature Christian? Someone who you can be accountable with. Someone you can study with. Support is important.

Thank you, friends. I am looking for a church, and have local friends helping me with that. I'm hoping to speak with a pastor at a friend's Methodist church later this week, went there on Easter Sunday and felt very welcome and accepted.

Your prayers and encouragement are a testament to the glory and mercy and forgiveness of God through Christ.

Well, I am proud of you that you are not making excuses anymore and really want to be healed. I pray you will be led to freedom and peace.
