Please Stop Abusing Me

<p>Domestic abuse is a common issue in many families including Christian ones. It is often kept hidden due to the shame it brings especially in Christian marriages where people might be shocked to learn it is happening. My husband was a pastor and it was happening in our home. It took me a while to tell my story but I felt if it could help women who are in abusive relationships I needed to share it. So I am telling my story of how God saved me from years of abuse.</p><p></p><p>To the many women who are in abusive relationships continue to trust God and pray for him to lead you to godly counselors. There is help for you. Psalm 34 says I sought the Lord and He heard me and delivered me from all my fears. He will deliver you from your enemy. Anyone who is abusing you is your enemy but God is greater than they are. I am living proof of God's protection. I have tasted trusted and believed in him and he delivered me from abuse.</p>
