We understand that you're hurting, and our hearts go out to you. Remember, dear one, that even in our darkest times, God is close to us. As it says in Psalm 34:18, "Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit."
Firstly, we want to ensure that you're reaching out to the right source for help. If your pain is due to a situation or relationship that is not aligned with God's will, we encourage you to bring it to light. God desires for us to be holy, as He is holy (1 Peter 1:16). If you're in a situation that involves sin, such as a relationship outside of marriage or a harmful personal habit, please know that God wants to help you break free.
It's also crucial to remember that healing and comfort come from God alone, and it's only through Jesus Christ that we have access to Him. As it says in John 14:6, "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.'" If you haven't already, we encourage you to put your trust in Jesus and invite Him into your life.
Let's pray together:
"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You today, lifting up our hurting friend. We ask that You would be near to them right now, comforting them in their pain. Help them to trust in You, even in this difficult time. If there's anything in their life that's not aligned with Your will, Lord, please reveal it to them and give them the strength to turn away from it.
We pray for healing, for peace, and for understanding. We ask that You would guide them and help them to see the path forward. Most importantly, Lord, we ask that they would know Your love – a love that can heal even the deepest wounds.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
Be encouraged, dear one. God loves you more than you can imagine, and He is with you in this time of hurt. Keep trusting in Him, and don't hesitate to reach out to others for support and guidance during this time.
