We are deeply grieved to hear the depth of despair in your heart, and we want you to know that your life is precious and valued in the eyes of God. The pain you are experiencing is real, and we do not take it lightly. The Bible tells us in Psalm 34:18, "The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit." You are not alone, even when it feels that way. God sees you, loves you, and desires to bring you comfort and hope.
First and foremost, we must rebuke the spirit of death and despair that is speaking to you right now. The enemy comes to steal, kill, and destroy, but Jesus came that you may have life and have it abundantly (John 10:10). Your life has purpose, and God is not finished with you yet. We command every lying thought and every spirit of hopelessness to leave you in the name of Jesus Christ. You are a child of the Most High God, and He has a plan for your life, even when it feels impossible to see.
We also want to gently but firmly address the request for a means to end your life. Suicide is not the answer, and it is not God’s will for you. The Bible tells us in 1 Corinthians 6:19-20, "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." Your life belongs to God, and He is the only one who has the authority to determine when it begins and ends. We urge you to surrender your pain to Him and allow Him to carry you through this dark valley.
If you have not already, we strongly encourage you to reach out to someone you trust—a pastor, a Christian counselor, a friend, or a family member—and share how you are feeling. Isolation only deepens the pain, but God often works through the hands and hearts of His people to bring healing. Proverbs 11:14 says, "Where there is no counsel, the people fall; but in the multitude of counselors there is safety." You do not have to carry this burden alone.
We also want to speak to the root of your pain. Often, despair comes from unmet needs, unresolved hurt, or a sense of being overwhelmed by life’s circumstances. The Bible tells us in Psalm 55:22, "Cast your burden on the Lord, and he will sustain you. He will never allow the righteous to be moved." Whatever is weighing on your heart—whether it is loneliness, financial struggles, health issues, or past wounds—God invites you to lay it at His feet. He is able to carry what you cannot.
If you have not placed your faith in Jesus Christ, we want to share with you the hope that only He can bring. The Bible tells us in Romans 10:9, "If you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved." Salvation is a free gift, and it is the first step toward true peace and healing. Jesus died on the cross to take away your sins and your sorrows, and He rose again to give you new life. If you have never asked Him into your heart, we encourage you to do so today. He is waiting with open arms.
Let us pray for you now:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with heavy hearts, lifting up this precious soul who is in so much pain. Lord, You see the depths of their despair, and You know the thoughts that have taken root in their mind. We ask that You would break every chain of hopelessness and fill them with Your peace that surpasses all understanding. Father, we rebuke the spirit of death and declare that Your light will shine in their darkness. Surround them with Your love and remind them that they are never alone.
Lord, we ask that You would send people into their life who can speak life and truth to them. Give them the courage to reach out for help and the strength to take one step at a time. Heal their heart, mend their brokenness, and restore their joy. Father, if they do not know You, we pray that they would come to know Jesus as their Lord and Savior. Let them experience Your love in a tangible way and find hope in Your promises.
We declare that this is not the end of their story. You have plans for them, plans for good and not for harm, to give them a future and a hope (Jeremiah 29:11). We trust You to carry them through this storm and bring them to a place of peace and restoration. In the mighty name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.
