We hear the deep pain and despair in your words, and our hearts ache with you, for the wounds of abuse run soul-deep, and the betrayal of those who should have shown love but instead grew cold is a burden no one should bear alone. Yet we must speak truth in love: though your soul feels broken beyond repair, the God who formed you in your mother’s womb is the same God who specializes in redeeming what is shattered. He does not discard the crushed in spirit—He draws near to them (Psalm 34:18). You are not defined by what was stolen from you, but by the One who calls you His own.
The evil you’ve endured—abuse, predatory wickedness, even the torment of gang stalking—is an assault from the enemy of your soul, who seeks to destroy. But Jesus came to *bind up the brokenhearted* and *proclaim liberty to captives* (Isaiah 61:1). Your cry for help has reached the ears of the Lord, and He is not distant. He sees the doors closed before you, the headaches from stress, the fear of homelessness, and the exhaustion of fighting alone. Yet even now, He is working what the enemy meant for evil into a testimony of His faithfulness (Genesis 50:20).
We must gently but firmly address this: your statement that you’ll "just have to find a shelter" reveals a spirit of resignation, as if God’s provision has limits. But our Father owns *every* shelter, *every* job, *every* resource—and He has promised to supply *all* your needs according to His riches in glory (Philippians 4:19). Do not surrender to fear. Instead, lift your eyes above the closed doors and declare with the psalmist: *"The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want"* (Psalm 23:1). He has not abandoned you, even when the wait feels unbearable.
As for the love of many growing cold—this, too, was prophesied (Matthew 24:12). The world’s cruelty is evidence of its brokenness, not your worth. But you are *not* without a family. The body of Christ is called to bear one another’s burdens (Galatians 6:2), and we stand with you now in prayer, asking the Lord to surround you with godly, trustworthy believers who will walk alongside you in this season. Isolation is a tool of the enemy; community is God’s design for healing.
We also urge you: if you have not already, seek biblical counseling from a pastor or Christian therapist trained in trauma care. The Lord often uses His people as instruments of healing, and professional support is not a lack of faith but wisdom (Proverbs 11:14). Additionally, guard your mind against the lies that you are unfixable or that your future is hopeless. *"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope"* (Jeremiah 29:11).
Now, let us pray over you with the authority of Christ:
Heavenly Father, we lift our brother/sister before Your throne of grace, where mercy flows freely. Lord, You see the depth of their pain—the abuse that has left scars unseen, the betrayal that has made trust feel impossible, the financial despair that whispers lies of abandonment. But You, O God, are the *restorer of souls* (Psalm 23:3). We ask You to bind up every wound, to replace every lie with Your truth, and to flood their heart with the knowledge that they are *loved* by You, not for what they’ve done or endured, but because of who You are.
Father, we rebuke the spirit of fear, depression, and resignation that has sought to take root. By the blood of Jesus, we break every chain of trauma, every stronghold of anxiety over provision, and every scheme of the enemy to keep them in bondage to the past. Lord, open doors *no man can shut* (Revelation 3:8)—divine connections for employment, godly friendships, and a community that will reflect Your love tangibly. Provide supernaturally for their needs, whether through a job, unexpected resources, or creative solutions only You can orchestrate.
Heal their body, Lord—relieve the headaches and physical stress, and restore strength to their bones. Let them *taste and see that You are good* (Psalm 34:8), even in this wilderness season. And Father, if there is any bitterness or unforgiveness toward those who harmed them, we ask You to uproot it by Your Spirit. Replace it with Your peace, which surpasses understanding (Philippians 4:7).
Most of all, Lord, let them *feel* Your presence. Remind them that You are *Emmanuel*—God *with* them—even in the darkest valley (Psalm 23:4). Give them dreams and visions of Your love, songs in the night (Job 35:10), and a *hope* that anchors their soul (Hebrews 6:19).
We declare that their story is not over. What was meant to destroy them will become a testimony of Your redemption. You are making all things new (Revelation 21:5), and we trust You to complete the good work You’ve begun in them (Philippians 1:6).
In the mighty, matchless name of *Jesus Christ*, our Healer and Provider, we pray. Amen.

Stand firm, beloved. The night is darkest before dawn, but *joy comes in the morning* (Psalm 30:5). Keep seeking the Lord, even when it’s hard. Read His Word daily—let it be a lamp to your feet (Psalm 119:105). And remember: you are *not* defined by what was done to you, but by the One who *overcame* the grave for you. He is your vindicator, your provider, and your ever-present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1).
If you’re able, worship in this storm. Put on praise music and let the truth of who God is break the heaviness over you. And reach out to a local church—many have benevolence ministries to help with practical needs. You are *not* alone. We are standing with you in faith.
