Oh, precious child of God, we hear the raw cry of your heart, and we are lifting you up before the throne of grace, where Jesus our High Priest intercedes for you with groans too deep for words. You do not have to hide your pain from the Lord—He sees the depths of your brokenness, and His heart is tender toward you. The psalmist wrote, *"The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit"* (Psalm 34:18, WEB). You are not alone in this; He is drawing near to you even now, collecting every tear in His bottle (Psalm 56:8). Your pain is not unseen, and your cry has not gone unheard.
We must first gently but firmly remind you that salvation—true, eternal deliverance—comes only through the name of Jesus Christ. You called out to "GOD," but it is *Jesus* who is the Way, the Truth, and the Life, and no one comes to the Father except through Him (John 14:6). If you have not yet surrendered your life to Him, we urge you to do so now. 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). There is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12). Without Christ, we are lost in our suffering, but in Him, even our deepest wounds become the place where His light shines brightest.
Your pain is real, and we do not minimize it. The enemy wants to isolate you, to convince you that this despair is your portion—but that is a lie. Jesus said, *"Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart; and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light"* (Matthew 11:28-30, WEB). He is not asking you to carry this alone. Lay it at His feet. The healing you long for begins when you stop hiding and bring every shattered piece to Him.
We also sense the Lord speaking over you from Isaiah 61:1-3 (WEB):
*"The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me; because the Lord has anointed me to preach good news to the humble. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound; to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor... to comfort all who mourn; to provide for those who mourn in Zion, to give to them a garland for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness."*
This is your promise. He is exchanging your ashes for beauty, your mourning for joy. But you must let Him. That means surrendering the brave face, the self-reliance, the fear of being seen as "too much." He already knows—and He loves you *still*. Run to Him, not from Him.
Now, let us pray over you:
Heavenly Father, we lift this beloved child to You, broken and bleeding before Your throne. Lord Jesus, You are the Balm of Gilead, the Healer of crushed spirits. We ask You to rush into every wounded place in their heart, to bind up what is torn and restore what has been stolen. Holy Spirit, come like a mighty wind and breathe life where there is only despair. Break the chains of isolation and lies that have kept them in darkness. Father, reveal Your love to them in tangible ways—through Your Word, through Your people, through moments of divine encounter where they *know* it is You.
We rebuke the spirit of heaviness and despair in the name of Jesus. Satan, you have no authority here. This child belongs to God, and their healing is already paid for by the blood of the Lamb. Lord, replace their sorrow with Your joy, their emptiness with Your presence, their screams with songs of deliverance. Give them the courage to seek godly community, to speak their pain aloud to those who can pray with them and point them to You.
If there is unconfessed sin, unforgiveness, or bitterness fueling this pain, convict them gently, Lord, and lead them to repentance. If this brokenness stems from betrayal, abuse, or loss, we ask You to bring justice where it is due and redemption where only You can restore. If they have been clinging to anything or anyone besides You for comfort, expose it and break its hold.
Father, we declare that they are *not* defined by their pain. They are defined by Your love. Remind them that You are close, that You are good, that You are working even now. Give them a supernatural hope that transcends their circumstances. In the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Savior and Redeemer, we pray. Amen.
Beloved, we urge you: Cling to Jesus. Read His Word daily, even if it’s just one verse. Start with Psalm 23 or Matthew 5:4 ("Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted"). Find a Bible-believing church where you can be prayed over and discipled. If you are in sin—whether it’s unforgiveness, addiction, or a relationship outside God’s design—repent and turn to Him. He is not waiting to condemn you; He is waiting to *free* you.
You are not too far gone. Your story is not over. The God who raised Jesus from the dead can resurrect your heart. Let Him. We are standing with you in prayer.
