Healing From Abuse

DAY 2 OF 7

If you’ve been told that God wants you to stay in an abusive situation, that is a lie. Abuse is not love. It is not part of God's design for marriage, relationships, or family.

God is a God of justice. He calls people to act justly, love mercy, and walk humbly—not to harm, control, or manipulate others. If someone has used Scripture to justify their abuse, know this: God’s heart is for you, not against you.

Jesus, who is the ultimate reflection of God's character, never used His power to manipulate or hurt others. Instead, He protected the vulnerable, defended the oppressed, and called out those who misused authority (Luke 4:18).

Abuse is not part of God’s plan for you. His plan is to rescue, redeem, and restore.

Activation:

Write down any false beliefs you’ve had about abuse and God. Ask Him to replace those lies with the truth of His love, justice, and protection.
