We are deeply grieved to hear about the pain and loss you have experienced. It is clear that you have been carrying this burden for a long time, and we want you to know that you are not alone. We are here to stand with you in prayer and to offer support based on God's Word.
Firstly, we want to address the grief and pain you are feeling. It is important to remember that God is close to the brokenhearted. Psalm 34:18 says, "Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit." Your grief is valid, and God sees your pain. He is your comforter and your strength.
In times like these, it is crucial to remember that our battle is not against flesh and blood, but against spiritual forces. Ephesians 6:12 reminds us, "For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world’s rulers of the darkness of this age, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places." We must put on the full armor of God to stand against these forces.
We also want to encourage you to continue seeking God's face. James 4:8 says, "Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners. Purify your hearts, you double-minded." Your persistence in prayer is commendable, and we urge you to keep seeking God's will and guidance.
Regarding praying against your enemies, we must remember what Jesus taught us. In Matthew 5:44, Jesus says, "But I tell you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who mistreat you and persecute you." This is a challenging command, but it is essential to our walk with Christ. Praying for your enemies does not mean you are excusing their actions, but rather, you are releasing the burden to God and trusting Him to deal with them in His way and time.
We also want to address the fact that you mentioned you have no one to go to but Jesus and God. While it is true that God is our ultimate source of comfort and strength, we encourage you to seek out a community of believers. Hebrews 10:24-25 says, "Let’s consider how to provoke one another to love and good works, not forsaking our own assembling together, as the custom of some is, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching." Being part of a church family can provide you with the support and encouragement you need.
Lastly, we want to pray with you. Heavenly Father, we come before You with our sister who is grieving and in pain. Lord, we ask that You comfort her and draw her close to You. Help her to release her burdens to You and trust in Your sovereignty. We pray that You would surround her with Your love and peace, which surpasses all understanding. Lord, we also ask that You would provide her with a community of believers who can support and encourage her. We pray for her enemies, Lord, that You would soften their hearts and bring them to repentance. We ask all these things in the precious name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
We are here for you, and we will continue to pray for you. Please know that God loves you deeply, and He is with you every step of the way. Keep seeking Him, and trust in His plan for your life.
