Our hearts break for you as we read your cry for help, and we are lifting you up in fervent prayer before the Lord. The pain of losing your entire family is unimaginable, and the loneliness, isolation, and despair you describe are more than any one person should bear alone. But we want you to know this: you are *not* alone. The Lord sees you, He hears you, and He is close to the brokenhearted. Psalm 34:18 declares, *"Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit."* He has not abandoned you—even in this dark valley, He is walking beside you, carrying you when you cannot take another step.
The enemy wants you to believe the lie that your life has no purpose, that no one cares, and that there is no hope. But that is *not* the truth. Satan comes only to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10), but Jesus came to give you life—abundant life. Yesterday, when you felt you didn’t want to be here anymore, that was the enemy whispering hopelessness into your soul. But we rebuke that spirit of despair in the mighty name of Jesus! You are *precious* to God, and He has a plan for your life—one that includes hope, a future, and a community of believers who will love you as their own (Jeremiah 29:11).
You are right to ask for fellowship and connection. God did not create us to live in isolation. From the beginning, He said, *"It is not good for the man to be alone"* (Genesis 2:18). You need brothers and sisters in Christ to walk with you, to share your burdens, and to remind you of God’s promises when you cannot see them for yourself. We pray that the Lord will *supernaturally* bring godly, compassionate people into your life—people who will love you with the love of Christ, who will listen to your heart, and who will stand with you in prayer. Ask Him to lead you to a Bible-believing church where you can find true community. Hebrews 10:24-25 urges us, *"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."*
You also asked for clear, obvious guidance and wisdom for your life. We claim James 1:5 over you: *"But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach; and it will be given to him."* The Lord is not hiding His will from you—He wants to direct your steps even more than you want to be led. Seek Him first in prayer and in His Word, and He will make your path straight (Proverbs 3:5-6). Sometimes His guidance comes through peace in our spirits, sometimes through the counsel of mature believers, and sometimes through open or closed doors. But He *will* speak. Keep your heart open and your eyes fixed on Him.
As for your birthday, we pray that the Lord will meet you in a *tangible* way on that day. May He remind you that He knew you before you were born (Jeremiah 1:5), that He has counted every one of your days (Psalm 139:16), and that He delights in you (Zephaniah 3:17). This year of your life does not have to be marked by sorrow alone—let it also be the year the Lord turns your mourning into dancing (Psalm 30:11).
Now, we must address something with love but also with urgency: in your request, you did not invoke the name of Jesus. There is *no* other name under heaven by which we can approach the Father (John 14:6), and there is *no* salvation in any other (Acts 4:12). If you have not yet surrendered your life to Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, we plead with you to do so *today*. He is the only One who can fill the void in your heart, the only One who can give you eternal life, and the only One who can break the chains of despair. Romans 10:9 says, *"that if you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved."* If you have already given your life to Christ, then we encourage you to *cling* to Him now more than ever. Call upon His name in your prayers, for it is through Jesus alone that we have access to the throne of grace (Hebrews 4:16).
Let us pray for you now:
Heavenly Father, we lift up this precious child of Yours who is drowning in grief, loneliness, and despair. Lord, You see the depth of their pain—pain no one should have to endure alone. We ask that You would wrap Your arms around them right now and let them *feel* Your presence in a way they never have before. Break the spirit of isolation and hopelessness in Jesus’ name. Send Your angels to minister to them, just as You ministered to Elijah in his darkest hour (1 Kings 19).
Father, we pray that You would *supernaturally* bring godly, loving people into their life—people who will reflect Your love, who will walk with them through this valley, and who will point them to You. Lead them to a church family where they can find true fellowship, where they can be known and loved, and where they can grow in their faith. Remove any barriers that would keep them from connecting with Your people.
Lord, we ask for *clear* direction and wisdom for their life. Open doors that no one can shut, and close doors that are not of You. Give them discernment to recognize Your voice above all others. Let them hear You say, *"This is the way. Walk in it"* (Isaiah 30:21). Restore their hope, Lord. Remind them that You have not forgotten them, that You are working even now, and that their story is not over.
Father, we rebuke the spirit of suicide that has whispered lies to them. Satan has no authority here—this life belongs to *You*. Fill them with Your peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7). Let them know, deep in their soul, that You have a purpose for their pain and that their life is *worth living*.
We pray for their birthday, Lord. Meet them in a *powerful* way. Let them feel Your joy, Your love, and Your hope on that day. Turn their mourning into gladness and their sorrow into comfort. Remind them that they are *not* alone—that You are their Father, their Comforter, and their Redeemer.
And finally, Lord, if they have not yet surrendered to Jesus, we pray that today would be the day of salvation. Softens their heart, open their eyes, and let them see their need for a Savior. Draw them to Yourself, Lord, and let them find in You the love and belonging they so desperately crave.
We speak *life* over them in Jesus’ name. We declare that their best days are *ahead*, that You will restore what the locusts have eaten (Joel 2:25), and that You will turn their ashes into beauty (Isaiah 61:3). Give them strength to take one more step, one more breath, one more day—knowing that You are with them.
In the mighty, matchless name of Jesus we pray, Amen.

We want to encourage you to *actively* seek out community in the coming days. If you don’t already have a church home, ask the Lord to lead you to one where you can be nurtured and discipled. Consider joining a small group or a Bible study—even if it feels scary at first. The body of Christ is meant to be your family now, and there *are* people who will love you as their own. Also, if you are struggling with thoughts of not wanting to live, please reach out to a pastor, a trusted believer, or a Christian counselor *immediately*. You do not have to carry this burden alone.
Lastly, we urge you to spend time in God’s Word every day. Let His promises be the lifeline that pulls you out of the depths. Start with Psalm 23, Psalm 34, and Psalm 139. Let the truth of who God is and who you are in Him sink deep into your spirit. You are *loved*. You are *seen*. You are *not forgotten*. Keep fighting, dear one. The Lord is with you.
