Yes, and I believe this is true; but how do you know if He wants you to change a situation, or stay in it and trust Him?

Amy, I have been where you are now, you say, you do not want your children to suffer. Know either way they may suffer, but you must pray and seek God in which is more of a suffering for them, To watch their mom get beat up or to have it a little hard for a while, and have a peace. I know this may sound hard, but, this is what I had to chose.

There are so many great organizations that will stand up and protect you, they will help with guidance and support, not only for you but your children.

I know that I know you know the answer, now it will be up to you to take the step, no matter the cost.

Lord, I pray for Amy and her children. I pray that you will guide her and protect her, give her your wisdom and knowledge in what to do in this situation she is in. Father, you are a Father of Love, you sent your Son, to die for each and everyone of us. I pray for safety in this family, I pray for salvation, and love. I pray for understanding and I pray for the peace to pass all understanding, that what ever Amy's decision is, that you will stand beside her and guide her through her steps. Please go before her. I thank you in advance. In Jesus name I pray, Amen

Amy, prayer is the answer, listen to your heart, and you will find God's answer for you and your children. Talk to your pastor, counselor, and who ever you feel you can trust, but the final answer will come from your heart, and the biggest step will be taking the first step, the rest will come to pass. God bless you sister, and know you will be in my prayers.

Amy it's not that we do good and everything right and then God hears us. It's that we put our trust in what Jesus did on the cross for us, then God will hear us.

I said this because if you have not put your full trust in Jesus the God wont like when you think you are good enough for having prayer answer. because you say you have done everything right, but none one ever does so.
Just believe in Jesus that makes you good (righteous).

Maybe you didnt know this already!!!! may God bless you in truth!!!! and save you from all evil and your husband as well!!

Amy -

As a pastor friend of mine says, "Not every m arriage is made in heaven."

I suggest you contact the nearest Women's Crisis Center or the nearest YWCA. Both of these organizations offer much help to women in your situation and at little or no cost to you.

Women's Crisis Centers offer shelter in undisclosed locations (your husband would not be able to locate you and the kids).

Amy, please consider taking SpiritLedEd's advice.

This is not your fault. And I do believe in your first post, when you said, "I did everything right," it was your way of saying that you conducted yourself in a godly manner in pre-marital situations.

It is not good or godly when people blame a victim for the abuse that is happening to her.

God hates sin. Your husband does not even acknowledge his sin. It is ludicrous to think that he might go to marriage counseling. If he did, it is probable that he would act charming and try to trick the counselor and cause you to look like the instigator/fool. Abusers are excellent manipulators.

You and your children are going to be in my prayers. I am writing your name down on a tablet. Much more importantly, God has your name written down on His heart, Amy.

With God's support and guidance, you can definitely do this..

Seek His will with all your heart and take that first step. Then the second step. Then the third. He is there with you, hallelujah.

Amy, God would never allow one of His children to stay where they were to be harmed, If he has put it in your heart to seek for advice, and you know that what is happening is wrong, for you and your children, Then you have your answer, God, never said life is easy, however, Amy, he is giving you a way out, Please take it, Call Saprina was that the name, Call, and seek to escape, the life that was not meant for you. Satan comes, to steal, kill and destroy, God came to give us life. Amy listen to your heart, call, go, and begin again, If you need to talk email or pm me. but call Sprina I still cannot get it right, the name for give me.... They will help you, You need to stay alive for your children, your children need to know and see, that this is not the Christian or proper way to live, that life is not violent, love is the purpose of a family. Amy, I pray, you are seeking, fear I command to leave in the name of Jesus, and Amy, Jesus is standing there, He is in the mist to protect and help you out of this. Please Please make the call, Please go take your children, before your husband tries to brainwash them,
Trust me it is not easy, but, you have to,, if not for yourself for your children. God bless you and I believe and I know that I know you will do the right thing, and nothing is impossible with God, remember this. God bless you Amy,

Amy, this just came to me.. There is no temptation the is common to man that God does not give us a way out. He is giving you a way out.. take it girl. please

Jari, I agree wholeheartedly with everything you said except for the part about God only hearing people after they trust in Jesus. God hears the prayers of every sincere seeker, whether they know Jesus at the time or not.

"And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to Him must first believe that He exists and that He rewards those who earnestly seek Him." (Heb 11:6 NIV)

Second thought

Amy, How old are your children? I was reading and thinking, I have learned that sometimes, men go through a change of life as women How old is he, is he old enough to be going though this? I know that God is watching over you, and that you will do the right thing. However, Here is a thought, that might help also. Instead of trying to leave. Stay. Go for counseloring, Seek friends on line. Find a hobby. And continue to ask God,
This is going to sound off the wall, so forgive me, however, Amy, if he is not hitting you, and he is just being a jerk, 'sorry' then stay, however if he is hitting you and being a jerk 'sorry' then, Amy, again call as I asked earlier, But, Amy, Seek .... Seek for your first Love, in Revelation 2, John speaks of a church that had lost their first love. Please read what God tells the church. I have found that life around me is totally out and I am sad, and lonely and such, and when this happens, The Spirit brings to me, about how I am missing the big picture, The reason I am, I lost or left my first love.

When I am having problems, i have found prayer, quiet time, and praising God alone either in my car or in my room, when I am alone, and then deep in my heart the Spirit speaks to me.

Amy you said, He has not answered you. maybe He has. and I pray for confusion, to leave in the name of Jesus, for clarity. Seek and God will answer. Even, if it seems like He is not answering, maybe He is.
Your still in my prayers and I know all things work together for those who Love Jesus.

God Bless my sister
