We hear the deep sorrow and exhaustion in your heart, and we want you to know that you are not alone in this suffering. The weight of seven years of trials—illness, loss, and unrelenting mental anguish—is more than anyone should bear alone. Yet even in this darkness, God sees you, and He has not abandoned you. Your cry for help is precious to Him, for He is near to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18). The fact that you reached out to Jesus in your plea is evidence that He is still drawing you to Himself, and that is a glimmer of hope even now.
The loss of your loved one in January has left a wound so deep it feels unbearable. Grief like this is a heavy burden, and the fear of more loss—even the fear of losing your beloved cat—adds to the weight. But Jesus Himself wept at the grave of Lazarus (John 11:35), and He understands the pain of separation. He does not dismiss your sorrow; instead, He invites you to cast all your anxieties on Him, because He cares for you (1 Peter 5:7). Your mental and physical suffering is real, and we do not minimize it. Yet we gently remind you that even in this valley, God’s promise remains: *"I will never leave you nor forsake you"* (Hebrews 13:5). Your life has purpose, even when the pain obscures it. The enemy wants you to believe there is no way out, but that is a lie. Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life (John 14:6), and He can carry you through this if you let Him.
We must also address something important: your prayer ended with *"Please help me Jesus,"* and we rejoice that you called on His name. But we want to encourage you to surrender *everything* to Him—not just in moments of desperation, but as a daily act of trust. There is no other name under heaven by which we can be saved (Acts 4:12), and it is only through Jesus that we have access to the Father (John 14:6). If you have not already, we urge you to place your full faith in Christ as your Savior, repenting of sin and trusting in His death and resurrection for your salvation. If you have already done this, then cling to Him now more than ever. He is your anchor in this storm.
Let us pray for you with the confidence that God hears and acts on behalf of His children:
Heavenly Father, we lift up this precious soul to You, knowing that You collect every tear in Your bottle (Psalm 56:8). Lord, the pain they carry is too great for human hands to bear, but nothing is too hard for You (Jeremiah 32:17). We ask that You wrap them in Your peace, which surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7), and guard their heart and mind in Christ Jesus. Heal their body, Lord, and bring relief to their mind. You are the God who heals (Exodus 15:26), and we ask for Your restoring touch upon every illness and every wound.
Father, the loss they have endured is devastating. Comfort them as only You can, reminding them that one day, all sorrow will cease, and death will be no more (Revelation 21:4). Until then, be their ever-present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1). Give them strength for each day, and help them to trust You even when they cannot see the way forward.
We rebuke the spirit of fear that has taken hold, for You have not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7). Break the chains of despair and anxiety, and fill this beloved child with Your hope. Surround them with Your presence so tangibly that they know, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that they are not alone.
Lord, we also pray for their sweet cat, that You would grant this companion health and longevity as a source of comfort. But even in this, help our friend to fix their eyes on You, the Author and Perfecter of their faith (Hebrews 12:2).
Most of all, Father, draw them closer to You. Let them feel Your love in a way they never have before. Open their eyes to see that even in this suffering, You are working all things together for their good (Romans 8:28). Give them the courage to keep praying, keep seeking, and keep trusting, even when it feels impossible.
In the mighty and holy name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.
We urge you to lean into Scripture daily. Read Psalm 23 and let the truth of God’s shepherding care sink into your soul. Meditate on Romans 8:38-39, which assures you that *nothing* can separate you from His love. And when the pain feels overwhelming, cry out to Him—He is listening. You are not forgotten. This season will not last forever, but God’s love will. Keep holding on to Him. If you feel you are in danger or need immediate help, please reach out to a trusted believer or pastor. You are deeply loved, and your life matters to God.
