The very first thing you need to do is ensure that a trusted friend or family member knows what you are planning. Then get a lawyer. Make as many plans and decisions as you can before you leave, so that when the date comes that you can leave, everything is ready for you to just go. Make sure those around you know what is happening, and see a lawyer. Start there. And you're making the right decision, so good luck to you.

Pray.

There a number of domestic violence services out there to call. Try googling them.

Find strength. Some women are too afraid to leave, or feel like they can't live w/o their abuser. You you must be different and you must be strong and brave. Once you leave, don't ever go back.

Seek the help of friends and family.

Save up a lot of money, or something, so that you can start your own life somehow.

I hope everything works out and I will pray for you.
