All around us we can see the high increase in domestic violence that is quietly ravaging homes. Today I was going to talk on a different topic so we pray but this is what the Lord desire that we come to him about. So please pray in whatever language you desire. Pray as led a lot. If you are hurt by your husband at this time, let me encourage your heart that it’s okay to be angry when hurt but it’s not okay to be angry and pray because when you do so in the wrong way, God will not answer. I am not saying, you shouldn’t feel hurt, I am saying let it push you to give the devil a knock on his head and keep him running. Everyone please pray as well. There is a saying that if it’s only when you are in trouble you pray, then you are truly in trouble.
Earlier in marriage, because of our differences, there was a lot of misunderstanding but God helped me in the sense that I had to draw from the experiences life had taught me on how to respond to situations of conflict. In marriage, it was a little harder because the person I love is involved so it was very painful. My secret had and has always been to pray and wait for the right time to confront the matter but one thing remains, we do not go to bed with an unsettled matter. Even when the other wouldn’t bulge, the other has to humble his/herself to come to a compromise. This is communication related.
Some of us women know how to talk and flog an issue from here to there and back that it aggravates most spouses and it brings out the worst in them. So its both ways here we would be praying. When the Lord gave woman to man, she was given for companionship and not for a punching bag. Despite Eve caused Adam the garden of Eden, there is no where it was recorded that he beat her up. So see, you are not designed to be one.
Its heartbreaking to hear such happening in Christian homes. So let us pray and leave too much talking alone.

- Lord I bring myself before you, I ask that when I am hurt, give me the grace to hold my tongue when it feels like going on and on and on. Help me to be calm and quiet and when the time for me to talk presents itself, help me to express myself with words that are seasoned with salt so that Lord they bring about a brokenness and conviction and not judgement and condemnation.

Father whatever it is that triggers this anger in my husband, open my eyes to see so that I will be careful in Jesus name. Where it has been me or our selfish desires.

God will give us peace in our homes and every house on fire the Spirit of the Lord will go ahead and quench in Jesus name. You will not lose your home to the lies of the devil that brings about anger in Jesus name.
Bible Verses: Proverbs 16:32 (AMP) “He who is slow to anger is better and more honorable than the mighty [soldier], And he who rules and controls his own spirit, than he who captures a city.”
Confession: Today I decree that my words and that of my husband are gentle. Our words will bring about calmness and healing. We do not give room for the devil to sow the seed of anger in us. Our home will experience the peace that the Prince of Peace gives. I will not abuse my husband. He will not abuse me. The life and nature of Christ lives in us and we will be Christ like and enjoy the beautiful joys of our marriage in Jesus name. Amen.
God bless you and invite as many to join in and we gradually come to a close of this program.
