Sometimes, what you're most afraid of doing, is the very thing that will set you free.
When I was being terribly abused, I took hold of that fear, instead of the fear taking hold of me, and though I shook from head to toe, I knew the Lord would help me and I did what I had to do, regardless. I did not let fear stop me under any circumstances, no matter what would have happened to me. I took a stand and by faith, God took my hand and stepped in, as I left my abuser. I was set free. Just as He promised.

💯 true. I was afraid to leave my abuser, you convince yourself to stay, it’ll get better, it’s just gets worse.
@SW-User You better believe it is! There's nothing easy about it, but you got to do what you got to do! It's worth it.
It was never about me convincing myself to stay because things might get better. In my situation, I knew better than that. Things always get worse, not better, when it comes to abusers. And I know you know that, yes. I had already stayed too long but I didn't want to get ahead of the Lord and make a move that would make things worse for me, so I waited for the right time, God's timing, and let the Lord lead me. I wanted out.

@LadyGrace 💯 my timings were everything, I do believe now it was meant to be that way.
@SW-User I definitely believe it was dear lady. God does not expect us to stay when we are abused, I don't care what anyone says. The Lord understands that it can ruin our health and mine was already ruined enough and I wasn't going to let him kill me.

@LadyGrace Yeah I understand, I think it would destroy you sooner.
