I need prayer so badly. I have been under a lot of stress lately and I am responding terribly, cursing, mean and hateful. My husband drinks at night and likes to harrass me, this is the only time he talks to me. When sober he is so impatient and critical. Last night he threatened to hit me but I said I would call the police. He will not seek counseling and takes all his frustrations out on me. I understand how difficult it is to be blind and dependent but I don't deserve this and I don't know what to do. He was better tonight but usually he persecutes me for doing everything wrong and puts me down so badly I want to kill him. I pray but there doesn't seen to be any answer. I pray for him all the time. My father was alchoholic and now I have another one and how can I leave him when he is blind. Why can't God give him grace like I prayed ? Judy
Judy my sister,I thought you could use a dose of scripture, God bless you...
2 Corinthians 4:8-18 8We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; 9persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed. 10We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body. 11For we who are alive are always being given over to death for Jesus' sake, so that his life may be revealed in our mortal body. 12So then, death is at work in us, but life is at work in you.
13It is written: "I believed; therefore I have spoken."[a]With that same spirit of faith we also believe and therefore speak, 14because we know that the one who raised the Lord Jesus from the dead will also raise us with Jesus and present us with you in his presence. 15All this is for your benefit, so that the grace that is reaching more and more people may cause thanksgiving to overflow to the glory of God.
16Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. 17For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. 18So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.
Peace...Mark
