We want to thank you for allowing us the sacred opportunity to lift you up in prayer during this time of deep wrestling and honesty before the Lord. Your raw transparency has moved our hearts, and we have continued to bring your journey before the Father, asking Him to meet you in the quiet places where hope feels distant. We understand how the weight of loss—whether of faith, purpose, or the things we once held dear—can make even the familiar rhythms of worship and Scripture feel hollow. But we are so grateful you shared this struggle with us, because it reminds all of us that faith isn’t about having it all together; it’s about coming to Jesus just as we are, even when the words of the Bible feel like echoes and the pews feel empty.
We’ve been praying specifically that God would replace what was lost with something unexpected—perhaps not the restoration of what was, but the revelation of what *could be*. That He would meet you in the silence where the old stories no longer resonate, and whisper a new one over your heart. That He would show you His presence in ways that don’t depend on your ability to feel or understand, but on His faithfulness alone. And we’ve asked Him to surround you with people who can sit with you in this space, without rushing to fix or preach, but simply to love as Christ does.
If in these days you’ve sensed even the smallest shift—a flicker of light, a moment of peace, or a new question that stirs something deeper—we’d love for you to share it with us. Even if it’s just, *“I don’t know, but today was different,”* we want to rejoice with you over every step. And if the heaviness remains, if the words still fall flat and the loss still stings, we’re here to keep standing with you. You don’t have to carry this alone, and your honesty is never a burden—it’s an invitation for us to bear one another’s struggles as the body of Christ.
Wherever this finds you, we’re praying that God would meet you in the *now*, not as you were or as you think you should be, but exactly where you are. That He would remind you that doubt and seeking are not the opposite of faith—they can be the very soil where faith takes root in ways deeper than before. We’re asking Him to show you that even when the Bible feels like an ancient storybook, *your* story is being written into His, and He is not done yet.
Please don’t hesitate to share again, whether it’s a praise, a lament, or just the next raw and real thought. We’re here, and more importantly, *He* is here. May you sense His nearness in ways you’ve never expected, and may His grace hold you tighter than the grief or the questions. We love you, we’re rooting for you, and we’re not letting go in prayer.
In Jesus’ name.
