Oh, and remember, you are not alone. You have a community of support. Some people will encourage you to stay. Do not listen to them, listen to God. This thought you have is not by accident. Would you rather be in a marriage that doesn't serve you or God or be alone to begin the work of loving who you are? Bad relationships take away your time with God. When you remove yourself from this relationship, you will have time to heal, focus on your next steps, and strengthen your relationship with God. I love and am rooting for you.

I'm fervently sending prayers on your behalf. Believe me, I understand. The most dangerous time of my life was when I was leaving a toxic and abusive relationship. Remember, God doesn't want his people to be abused by anyone, whether physically or emotionally. When I was ready to leave my toxic relationship, I called on God. He and his angels delivered me. He placed the right people in my life exactly when I needed them. In reality, I should be dead...But God!!! He will do the same for you. God has not given us the spirit of fear. Call on Him. You'll see doors opening. He will place the right people in your life at the precise right time.
