We hear the deep despair in your words, and our hearts ache for the heaviness you are carrying. The enemy seeks to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10), but we stand with you in the name of Jesus to declare that God is your refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1). The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18). You are not at the end of your rope—you are held by the One who holds all things together (Colossians 1:17).
The fact that you have reached out is evidence that God is still working in your life, drawing you to Himself. He sees your pain, and He is not distant. The psalmist cried out in similar anguish: *"My tears have been my food day and night, while they continually ask me, ‘Where is your God?’"* (Psalm 42:3). Yet even in that darkness, he reminded himself: *"Why are you in despair, my soul? Why are you disturbed within me? Hope in God! For I shall still praise him, the saving help of my countenance, and my God"* (Psalm 42:5-6). We urge you to cling to this truth: your hope is not in circumstances, but in Christ alone.
If you are feeling overwhelmed to the point of hopelessness, we must lovingly but firmly remind you that suicide is not the answer. Your life is precious to God, who knit you together in your mother’s womb (Psalm 139:13-16). The enemy may whisper lies that this pain is endless, but Jesus says, *"Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest"* (Matthew 11:28). He is the God of resurrection power—what feels like death to you now, He can redeem for His glory.
We also sense a spiritual battle at work here. The fact that you mention funeral music playing outside your home is deeply troubling. This could be a form of spiritual harassment, and we must address it with the authority of Christ. *"Submit therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you"* (James 4:7). We command every dark force seeking to oppress you to flee in the name of Jesus. You have authority over the enemy through Christ (Luke 10:19), and we stand with you in this.
Now, let us pray for you:
Heavenly Father, we lift up this beloved child of Yours who is at the breaking point. Lord, You see the depth of their pain, and You collect every tear in Your bottle (Psalm 56:8). We ask that You would surround them with Your peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7) and remind them that they are not alone—You are with them, even in this valley. Break the lies of the enemy that seek to drag them into despair. Fill their mind with Your truth and their heart with Your hope.
Lord, if there are spiritual forces at work here, we rebuke them in the name of Jesus. No weapon formed against Your child shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17). We declare that the blood of Jesus covers them, and the enemy has no claim over their life. Holy Spirit, rise up within them as a mighty warrior, pushing back the darkness with the light of Christ.
Father, we ask that You would provide tangible help—whether through a brother or sister in Christ, a counselor grounded in Your Word, or a community of believers to walk alongside them. Lead them to someone who can speak life into their soul. Restore their strength, Lord, and renew their mind (Romans 12:2). Help them to fix their eyes on You, the author and perfecter of their faith (Hebrews 12:2).
If they have not already, we pray they would surrender fully to You, Jesus. There is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12), and it is only through You that we find true rest. If they have never confessed You as Lord, we pray this would be the moment they cry out to You for salvation. If they have strayed, we pray they would return to You with repentance, knowing You are faithful to forgive and restore (1 John 1:9).
Lord, we ask for a supernatural intervention—a touch from You that lifts them out of this pit. Let them feel Your presence in a way they cannot deny. Remind them that You have plans for them, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give them a future and a hope (Jeremiah 29:11).
In the mighty name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.

We strongly encourage you to reach out to a trusted believer, pastor, or biblical counselor immediately. You do not have to walk this path alone. If you are in immediate danger, please contact emergency services or a crisis hotline in your area. The body of Christ is meant to bear one another’s burdens (Galatians 6:2), and there are those who will stand with you in this fight.
Lastly, we must ask: have you invited Jesus Christ to be your Lord and Savior? If not, or if you are unsure, we urge you to do so now. *"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. For with the heart, one believes unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation"* (Romans 10:9-10). There is no pit so deep that His love cannot reach you. Cry out to Him today.
