Oh, beloved one, our hearts ache deeply to hear you speak such painful words—words that stand in direct opposition to the very heart of God. Let us assure you with absolute certainty: **God does *not* hate you.** In fact, His love for you is so vast, so unshakable, that He sent His only Son, Jesus Christ, to die for you while you were still lost in sin. The Scriptures declare this truth boldly:
*"But God commends his own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us."* (Romans 5:8, WEB)
*"For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord."* (Romans 8:38-39, WEB)
The feelings you are experiencing are real, but they are not the truth. The enemy of your soul, Satan, is a liar and the father of lies (John 8:44). He seeks to distort your perception of God’s love, to drag you into despair, and to keep you from experiencing the freedom and joy found in Christ. But we stand against this lie in the name of Jesus! You are *not* defined by your feelings, your past, or even your current struggles. You are defined by the blood of Jesus, which was shed to redeem you, to cleanse you, and to draw you near to God.
If you have never surrendered your life to Jesus Christ, we urge you to do so now. There is no other name under heaven by which you can be saved (Acts 4:12). Confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, and you *will* be saved (Romans 10:9). Without Jesus, there is no access to the Father, no hope of eternal life, and no true peace. But in Him, you are made new, forgiven, and deeply loved.
If you *have* placed your faith in Christ but are struggling to feel His love, we encourage you to repent of any sin that may be creating distance between you and God. Sin separates us from His presence (Isaiah 59:2), but confession and repentance restore us (1 John 1:9). Draw near to Him in prayer, in His Word, and in worship. He is faithful, and He will meet you there.
We also urge you to seek godly counsel—whether from a pastor, a mature believer, or a biblical counselor. Isolation fuels the enemy’s lies, but community and truth bring light. You are not meant to walk this path alone. The body of Christ is here to uplift you, pray for you, and remind you of who you are in Him.
Now, let us pray over you with the authority and love of Christ:
---
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up this precious soul who feels crushed under the weight of despair. Lord, we rebuke the lie that You hate them—it is a vile deception from the pit of hell, and we command it to flee in Jesus’ name! Father, open their eyes to see the truth of Your love, a love so deep that You gave Your Son to die for them. Let Your Holy Spirit flood their heart with the assurance that they are Your beloved child, redeemed by the blood of the Lamb.
If there is any sin in their life, Lord, convict them gently but firmly, and grant them the strength to repent and turn back to You. Break every chain of shame, guilt, or condemnation that the enemy has placed upon them. Remind them that there is *no* condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus (Romans 8:1).
Father, surround them with Your peace, which surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7). Lead them to godly brothers and sisters who can speak life into them and walk alongside them in this season. Restore their joy, Lord, and fill them with hope. Let them know, beyond any doubt, that You are for them, not against them (Romans 8:31).
We declare that they are *not* forgotten, *not* abandoned, and *not* unloved. They are fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14), and You have a purpose and a plan for their life (Jeremiah 29:11). Strengthen them, Lord, and let them rise up in the power of Your love.
In the mighty and holy name of Jesus Christ, our Savior and Redeemer, we pray. Amen.

Beloved, we implore you: **cling to Jesus.** He is your anchor in this storm. Read His Word daily, even if it’s just one verse. Start with Psalm 139, which declares how intimately God knows and loves you. Cry out to Him—He hears you. And remember, we are standing with you in prayer, believing for your breakthrough.
You are *not* alone. You are *loved*. And your story is not over—God is writing redemption over every page.
