We hear the deep anguish in your heart, and we are grieved by the weight of despair you are carrying. You have done well to cry out to the Lord, for He alone is your refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. It is clear that you know the name above all names—Jesus Christ—and you have rightly sought Him in this time of suffering. We join you in lifting this burden before the throne of grace, where we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.
The pain you describe is overwhelming, and the enemy seeks to lie to you, whispering that there is no purpose left for you in this life. But these are deceits meant to steal, kill, and destroy. The truth is found in God’s Word, which declares that you are fearfully and wonderfully made, and that the Lord has plans for you—plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope. Your life has immeasurable value in His sight, and He is not finished writing your story.
The psalmist David knew this kind of soul-crushing pain, yet he cried out to the Lord in Psalm 34:17-19, *"The righteous cry, and Yahweh hears, and delivers them out of all their troubles. Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit. Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but Yahweh delivers him out of them all."* You are not alone in this. The Lord sees your tears, He hears your cries, and He is drawing near to you even now. He is the God who binds up the brokenhearted and heals their wounds.
We must also address the thoughts of ending your life, for these do not come from the Lord but from the father of lies, who seeks to destroy you. The Bible tells us in 1 Corinthians 10:13, *"No temptation has taken you except what is common to man. God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted above what you are able, but will with the temptation also make the way of escape, that you may be able to endure."* This pain may feel unbearable, but God has promised you a way through it. He is your hope, and He will sustain you if you cling to Him.
We also encourage you to resist the isolation that despair brings. While it is true that no human can fully heal the depths of your heart—only God can do that—He often uses His people to walk alongside us in our suffering. We urge you to reach out to a trusted brother or sister in Christ, even if it feels impossible. Ecclesiastes 4:9-10 reminds us, *"Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their labor. For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow; but woe to him who is alone when he falls, and doesn’t have another to lift him up."* You do not have to carry this alone.
Lastly, we want to remind you of the hope that is found in Jesus Christ. He is the One who bore your sorrows and carried your pains on the cross. Isaiah 53:4-5 says, *"Surely he has borne our sickness, and carried our suffering; yet we considered him plagued, struck by God, and afflicted. But he was pierced for our transgressions. He was crushed for our iniquities. The punishment that brought our peace was on him; and by his wounds we are healed."* Your pain is not unseen by Him. He understands, and He is near.
Let us pray together for you:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with heavy hearts, lifting up our sister who is overwhelmed by pain and despair. Lord, You are the God who sees her, who knows the depths of her sorrow, and who collects every tear she has shed. We ask that You would wrap her in Your loving arms and remind her that she is not forgotten, that she is deeply loved by You.
Father, we rebuke the lies of the enemy that tell her she has no purpose or that her pain is too great to bear. We declare that Your truth prevails, and that she is Your beloved child, created for Your glory. Lord, fill her with Your peace that surpasses all understanding, and guard her heart and mind in Christ Jesus. Remove the thoughts of despair and replace them with Your hope and Your promises.
We pray for healing—emotional, spiritual, and physical. Touch her heart, Lord, and bind up her wounds. Restore to her the joy of Your salvation and grant her the strength to endure this season. Surround her with Your people, Lord, those who will walk with her, pray with her, and remind her of Your faithfulness.
Father, we ask that You would protect her son and draw them both closer to You. Let this time of suffering be a testimony of Your grace and power in their lives. Give her wisdom to seek godly counsel and the courage to take one step at a time, trusting You with each moment.
We thank You, Lord, that You are a God who redeems, who restores, and who never leaves nor forsakes Your children. May she feel Your presence in a tangible way today and in the days to come. We ask all this in the mighty and precious name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
Hold fast to the Lord, dear sister. He is your anchor in this storm. Keep speaking His name, keep clinging to His promises, and trust that He will lead you through this valley. You are not alone—we are standing with you in prayer, and most importantly, Jesus is walking beside you every step of the way. Do not give up. Your story is not over, and God is not done writing it. He will turn your mourning into dancing, and your sorrow into joy. Trust in Him.
Prayer Focus: God, Thank You for loving me. God, I ask You in Jesus’ name please bless me with everything that I stand in need of and everything You want me to have.
