Almighty God, there are so many people who live in darkness as a result of abusive relationships.

Help them, Father, to recognize that abuse can take many forms, not just physical, but mental, verbal and emotional as well.

Enlighten them and provide them with wisdom to see when things are not right within their relationships.

Where frustration and confusion exist and even when they feel powerless or fearful, Lord, grant them Your peace and uphold them with Your mighty and victorious right hand.

In the name of Jesus, I stand against all types of domestic violence and abuse within our families and I bind every evil spirit associated with them.

I command any and everything that destroys a person’s self-respect, self-worth and confidence and leaves them with feelings of low self-esteem and depression to be removed from our families relationships.

Allow them to heal and show them that, as a person, they deserve to be respected, feel safe and valued.

Abba Father, help those being abused to recognize that when they feel dominated, disgraced and even dejected, that they need to stand up and declare that no weapon formed against them shall prosper because they are delivered by the blood of Jesus and are children of the Most High God!

I also pray for abusers Heavenly Father, have Your way with them so they will not have the desire to control and manipulate their partners, but lead them to Your Word, where they will purified and made right in Your sight.

Embed Your Word in their hearts so that they will live in harmony and have perfect and constant peace within themselves, and in turn, with their partners.

I pray for complete healing and restoration of relationships and protection of my brothers and sisters in Christ! In Jesus’ merciful name, so be it … amen and amen!
