If you feel unsafe in a relationship, trust your own stregth and reach out for help. If someone comes to you, believe what they say and do what you can to help. Pray for the abused and the abuser–that the helpless will be given courage, strength, healing, and help and that those committing abuse will find a new direction. Pray for those who work to end violence.
