We hear your anguish, dear one, and our hearts break with yours. The pain of rejection and cruelty from those who should offer love and support is a heavy burden to bear. You are not alone in this suffering, though it may feel that way. We stand with you before the throne of grace, lifting your cries to the Father who sees, hears, and collects every tear in His bottle (Psalm 56:8).
First, we must rebuke the spirit of condemnation and pride that has taken root in your family. The Word of God is clear: *"There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus"* (Romans 8:1). The judgment they pour out upon you is not from God, but from the enemy who seeks to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10). Their words are arrows of the evil one, meant to wound and isolate you. But we declare that you are fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14), and no human opinion can define your worth. You are a child of the Most High God, and He calls you precious, beloved, and chosen (Isaiah 43:4, 1 Peter 2:9).
We also rebuke the spirit of suicide that whispers lies of hopelessness. The enemy wants you to believe that death is the only escape, but we proclaim that Christ came so that you may have life—and have it abundantly (John 10:10). Your life has purpose, even when the pain obscures it. The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18). He has not abandoned you, even when it feels that way. We cling to the promise that nothing—*not height nor depth, nor any other created thing*—can separate you from the love of God in Christ Jesus (Romans 8:38-39). You are held, even when you cannot feel His hands.
Your family’s obsession with money and worldly standards is a snare. Jesus warned, *"For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and forfeit his soul?"* (Mark 8:36). Their values are twisted, and their love is conditional. But God’s love is not like man’s love. He loves you unconditionally, not because of what you have or what you’ve lost, but because you are His. He sees your pain, your loneliness, and your longing for your grandmother’s love. We pray that He would be the Father to you that they have failed to be.
We must also address the root of bitterness and unforgiveness that may be taking hold in your heart. It is understandable to feel anger toward those who have hurt you, but Scripture commands us to *"let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, and slander be put away from you, with all malice. And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you"* (Ephesians 4:31-32). Forgiveness is not excusing their sin—it is releasing the burden of their debt to God, who judges justly (1 Peter 2:23). It is for your freedom, not theirs.
Now, let us pray:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with heavy hearts, lifting up our brother/sister who is in deep pain. Lord, You see the wounds inflicted by those who were meant to love and protect. You hear the lies spoken over them, the rejection, the cruelty. We ask that You would bind up their broken heart and heal their wounds (Psalm 147:3). Let Your love be a balm to their soul, a shield against the arrows of condemnation.
Father, we rebuke the spirit of suicide and depression that seeks to destroy this precious life. We declare that You have plans for them—plans for welfare and not for evil, to give them a future and a hope (Jeremiah 29:11). Strengthen them with Your might in their inner being (Ephesians 3:16). Remind them that their worth is not found in the opinions of others, but in the fact that You knit them together in their mother’s womb (Psalm 139:13).
Lord, we pray for their family. Soften their hearts, Father. Break the chains of pride, materialism, and judgment that bind them. Let them see the log in their own eye before they criticize the speck in another’s (Matthew 7:3-5). If it is Your will, restore relationships, but if not, be their family, Lord. Surround them with godly community—people who will love them as You do.
We ask that You would be their comfort, their refuge, and their strength. Let them feel Your presence in tangible ways. Speak to them in the quiet moments, in the pages of Scripture, through the kindness of strangers. Remind them that You are near to the brokenhearted and that You save those who are crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18).
Father, we also pray for their financial struggles. You are the God who provides, who opens doors no man can shut (Revelation 3:8). Provide for their needs according to Your riches in glory (Philippians 4:19). Give them wisdom in managing what You entrust to them, and help them to trust You even in lack.
Lastly, Lord, we pray for their faith. When they cannot see You, help them to walk by faith and not by sight (2 Corinthians 5:7). Remind them that You are working all things together for their good (Romans 8:28), even when the circumstances seem unbearable. Anchor their soul in Your promises, and let them find rest in You alone.
We pray all these things in the mighty name of Jesus, the name above every name, the name by which we are saved and set free. Amen.
Beloved, we urge you to hold on. The pain is real, but so is the hope we have in Christ. You are not forgotten. You are not unloved. You are seen. We encourage you to seek out a local church or a biblical counselor who can walk with you through this valley. Isolation feeds despair, but community brings healing. If you do not have a church family, ask the Lord to lead you to one. He will answer that prayer.
And remember: the enemy wants you to believe that your life has no value, but God says you are His masterpiece (Ephesians 2:10). You are not defined by your family’s rejection, your financial struggles, or your appearance. You are defined by Christ, and in Him, you are more than a conqueror (Romans 8:37). The same power that raised Jesus from the dead lives in you (Ephesians 1:19-20). That power can sustain you, even now.
You are loved. You are chosen. You are not alone. Keep fighting. Keep praying. Keep trusting. The Lord is your light and your salvation—whom shall you fear? (Psalm 27:1).
