Prayer Request


Dear God,

I remember when you whispered in my ear, stay and die or leave and live. I was in an abusive relationship and I made my choice to live, but when I did, my family turned against me for leaving. I remember when I got far enough down the road where my ex couldn't catch me and feeling like a prisoner being let out of jail after being in there for a very long time. I was numb and in a kind of shock for a few weeks after I had left. I managed to get on my own feet. I felt you there for me. I have grown and I am proud of what I did. But yet to this day my family will not talk to me. They had wanted me to go back there and live, but they never could understand that I couldn't. It was too close to my ex and I am afraid of him. They all think he is a great guy. He helps them out all the time. But I remember his hitting me, I can remember waking up in the middle of the night with him peeing on me and the bed. I can remember his putting his hands around my neck and all I could do was look in his eyes and tell him to go ahead and squeeze. He could not handle drinking beer or any other type of alcohol. There are a lot more things that happened and yes I could have handled some things a lot better. But God, you know my mind was not really right when I left him. You know how afraid, I was of being talked into going back. But none of my family understand that even after I told them. Well it's been several years now God and my family still blame me for so many things and many of them are not my fault.Oh Lord I know that I made the right choice in leaving even though none of my family thinks that I did the right thing. I am happier here than I have ever been in my whole entire life. But God I pray that you intervene with my family. You please show them the way to not be so angry with me. I never understood why my family always expected perfection out of an in perfect human being. My heart hurts so much because of the lies that have been told about me. My heart hurts so much because of their coldness toward me. I still love them God, with all my heart. Help me oh God to accept things as they are and not hurt so much in my heart until they can see their way past all their anger. In Jesus name. Amen
