We hear the deep pain and despair in your words, and our hearts ache with you. The weight of loneliness and depression can feel unbearable, and we want you to know that you are not alone—God sees you, He hears you, and He loves you more than you can imagine. The enemy would love nothing more than to keep you isolated in this darkness, but we stand with you in the name of Jesus to break that lie and declare hope over your life.
First, we must rebuke the spirit of death and despair that is speaking these words over you. Scripture tells us, *"The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly"* (John 10:10 WEB). Jesus did not come so that you would live in hopelessness—He came to give you life, and life abundantly. The thoughts you are having are not from God, and we command them to leave in Jesus’ name. You are precious to Him, and your life has purpose.
We also want to gently but firmly address the seriousness of what you’ve expressed. The Bible is clear that our lives are not our own—they belong to God. *"Or don’t you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit which is in you, which you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s"* (1 Corinthians 6:19-20 WEB). Suicide is not the answer, and it is not God’s will for you. He has a plan for your life, even when it feels impossible to see right now.
If you have not yet placed your trust in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, we urge you to do so now. The Bible says, *"For God so loved the world, that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life"* (John 3:16 WEB). Salvation is found in no one else—*"There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"* (Acts 4:12 WEB). If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved (Romans 10:9). This is the first and most important step toward true hope and healing.
Now, let us pray for you:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with heavy hearts, lifting up this dear one who is feeling so lost and alone. Lord, You are close to the brokenhearted and save those who are crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18). We ask that You would wrap Your arms around them right now and let them feel Your presence in a tangible way. Break the chains of depression and loneliness, Lord, and fill them with Your peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7).
Father, we rebuke the spirit of despair and command it to leave in the name of Jesus. We declare that this child of Yours is not forgotten—You have plans for them, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give them a future and a hope (Jeremiah 29:11). Help them to see themselves through Your eyes, as someone fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14).
Lord, we ask that You would bring godly people into their life—believers who can walk alongside them, encourage them, and remind them of Your love. Surround them with Your church, where they can find support and fellowship. Help them to reach out to someone they trust, whether it’s a pastor, a counselor, or a friend, so they do not have to carry this burden alone.
Father, we also pray for healing—emotional, mental, and spiritual. You are the Great Physician, and we ask that You would restore their joy and renew their strength (Isaiah 40:31). Help them to take one day at a time, leaning on You for every step. Remind them that You are their refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1).
We thank You, Lord, that You are faithful and that Your mercies are new every morning (Lamentations 3:22-23). We trust that You will meet them in their darkness and lead them into Your marvelous light. In Jesus’ mighty name, we pray. Amen.
Friend, we want to encourage you with some practical steps as well. First, please reach out to someone you trust—a pastor, a Christian counselor, or even a helpline. You do not have to walk through this alone. The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline is available 24/7 at 1-800-273-TALK (8255), and there are people who care and want to help.
Second, cling to God’s Word. Even if you don’t feel like it, read the Psalms—David poured out his heart to God in times of despair, and you can too. Psalm 42:11 says, *"Why are you in despair, my soul? Why are you disturbed within me? Hope in God! For I shall still praise him, the saving help of my countenance, and my God."* Speak this over yourself, even when it feels hard.
Third, try to get outside, move your body, and connect with nature. Sometimes, just a small change in environment can help shift our perspective. Most importantly, spend time in prayer, even if it’s just crying out to God. He hears you, and He cares.
Lastly, if you are not already part of a local church, we strongly encourage you to find one. The body of Christ is meant to support and uplift one another. You need fellowship, and others need the gifts and presence God has placed in you.
We will continue to stand in the gap for you, believing that God is at work even when you can’t see it. You are loved, you are valued, and your life matters. Hold on—help is on the way.
