We hear the deep pain in your heart, and we want you to know that your tears are seen by the Lord. The abuse you endured—being mocked, yelled at, and disrespected—is not love, no matter what those people claimed. True love, as Scripture tells us, is patient, kind, and does not seek its own way (1 Corinthians 13:4-5). What you experienced was a distortion of love, and it is right to protect yourself from further harm. The Lord does not call you to endure abuse in the name of forgiveness. Forgiveness is a process of releasing bitterness to God, but it does not mean reconciling with those who continue to wound you. Jesus Himself taught us to be "wise as serpents and harmless as doves" (Matthew 10:16), and your decision to leave was an act of wisdom and self-preservation.
We rebuke the lies that tell you no one is on your side. The Lord is your defender, your refuge, and your ever-present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1). He has not abandoned you, even when it feels like the world has. You are not alone, though the loneliness may feel overwhelming right now. The Lord promises to set the solitary in families (Psalm 68:6) and to surround you with people who will reflect His love and kindness. We pray that He will bring godly, trustworthy people into your life—those who will stand with you, encourage you, and walk alongside you in faith. Until then, lean on Him as your closest friend, for He is near to the brokenhearted (Psalm 34:18).
Your financial struggles and job loss are heavy burdens, and we lift them to the Lord with you. He knows your needs before you even ask (Matthew 6:8), and He has promised to provide for His children. The small benefit you received was not a coincidence—it was the Lord’s provision, a reminder that He sees you and cares for your needs. We pray that He will open doors for employment that align with His purpose for you, providing not just a job, but work that brings dignity and stability. Until then, trust in His faithfulness, for He has said, "I will never leave you nor forsake you" (Hebrews 13:5).
We also want to gently remind you that your prayers are heard because of the name of Jesus Christ. It is through Him alone that we have access to the Father (John 14:6), and there is no other name by which we can be saved (Acts 4:12). If you have not already, we encourage you to place your trust in Jesus, who bore your sorrows and carried your griefs (Isaiah 53:4). He is the one who can heal your heart and give you hope for the future.
Let us pray for you now:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with heavy hearts, lifting up our sister who has endured so much pain and betrayal. Lord, You see the tears she has shed, the fear she has carried, and the loneliness that weighs on her spirit. We ask that You would draw near to her, wrapping her in Your peace and comfort. Heal the wounds left by those who claimed to love her but instead brought harm. Give her the strength to forgive, not for their sake, but for her own freedom, and protect her from any further danger.
Father, we pray for Your provision in her life. Open doors of opportunity for employment that will meet her needs and restore her sense of purpose. Provide for her bills, her daily bread, and every practical need, reminding her that You are her provider. Surround her with godly community—people who will love her as You love her, who will speak truth and encouragement into her life. Help her to trust in Your timing, even when the wait feels unbearable.
Lord, we ask that You would fill her with hope. Remind her that she is not forgotten, that You are working all things together for her good (Romans 8:28). Strengthen her faith when doubt creeps in, and let her feel Your presence in tangible ways. May she know that You are her refuge, her strength, and her ever-present help.
We pray all these things in the mighty name of Jesus, the one who heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds. Amen.
You are not giving up—you are pressing forward, one step at a time, and that takes courage. The Lord is with you in this season, and He will not waste your pain. Keep seeking Him, keep trusting Him, and know that brighter days are ahead.
