On this day, the 21st of September, in the year of 2009; I Lauren Edwards, claim separation and a finalized divorce from control.

I plead this divorce on accounts of daily abuse and constant slavery. Control has denied me the right to love uncontrollably and has forcefully starved me from the healing love of my Father, God.

Control has broken it’s promise of protection and has left me abandoned, scared, and confused. It told me to put its trust in it and I would never be alone and I would never have to fear disaster and destruction. Control is a liar! When things got tough it told me to hang on, and I listened, and I lost everything. Control has stolen my personality, my security, and my identity. Control convinced me that it was higher than God and now has left me in the pit of darkness and despair.

I claim freedom from control and all it’s consequences! I give back the ring it placed on my finger as a promise that led to my ending. And I take back everything that it stole from me and I ask for one hundred fold of everything that was lost, stolen, or throw out. Some of these things include, but are not limited to: peace, joy, love, friendship, intimacy, trust, hope, and time.

I not only declare a divorce from control but also ask a restraining order against it, that it may never come around me again. That it be put on house probation or jail sentence for life so that it’s abuse can never scar the life of another one of God’s children again!

God, I ask that You take me into Your arms again and comfort me from the pain that divorce can bring. I ask that you help me not to run back to the abuse of control. I pray that I can be under Your promises and receive all that you have for me. Please God help me to never long for control again, free me from these chains and hold me in your arms.

Your daughter and princess,
Lauren Edwards

On this NEW day of September 18, 2009, this plead for divorce of control has been approved and finalized. Everything that has been asked for in this decree and much more is granted! No longer will the chains of control restrict and abuse, but now you, Lauren Edwards, are set free. IT IS FINISHED!

Your Father,
God
