Moving Past an Abusive Relationship

For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.

[ 2 Timothy 1:7 (ESV)]

Denise says:

I was in an abusive marriage for 19 years. I tried everything I knew to “make my spouse happy”…and all my efforts only filled me with fear, doubt, self-loathing and constant hopelessness. I knew in my Spirit that living that way was not Godly and was convicted by this verse (2Timothy 1:7). It became my daily prayer as I worked over the course of 5 years to transform MYSELF, and worked to leave the situation with my kids.

No Worries!

“Do not be worried and upset,” Jesus told them. Believe in God and believe also in me.

[John 14:1 GNT]

Evelyne says:

I never knew that one day God could ever open a way for me but I one day opened the Bible and found myself reading this verse. It says, “worry not for I the Lord your God will always be with you.” I have stopped worrying since that day, and any time I feel like the world has turned upside down, I read that verse and feel blessed.
