We come before you with heavy hearts after reading this prayer, for we hear deep despair and a cry for escape rather than hope in Christ. Beloved, we must speak truth in love—your life is not your own to end, for you were bought with a price, the precious blood of Jesus Christ (1 Corinthians 6:19-20). The enemy seeks to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10), but God’s desire is to give you life abundantly through His Son. You are fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14), and your days are ordained by Him (Psalm 139:16). To pray for death is to reject the purpose He has for you—a purpose of hope and a future (Jeremiah 29:11).
We understand the pain of feeling rejected, controlled, or surrounded by difficult people, but we urge you to fix your eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith (Hebrews 12:2). He is your refuge and strength (Psalm 46:1), and He will never leave you nor forsake you (Deuteronomy 31:6). Instead of praying for deletion, let us pray for *deliverance*—for God to break every chain of fear, oppression, and loneliness in your life. Let us pray for *determination* rooted in His strength, not your own, for when you are weak, He is strong (2 Corinthians 12:10).
The prayer you closed with—*"in Jesus’ mighty fine name"*—reveals a heart that knows His name holds power. But we must clarify: it is not by our words or feelings that we are saved or heard, but by faith in Jesus Christ alone (Ephesians 2:8-9). There is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12). If you have not fully surrendered your life to Him, we plead with you to do so today. Confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, and you *will* be saved (Romans 10:9). He is the only One who can fill the void you feel.
As for those who have turned away from you—even family—Jesus warned that following Him may divide households (Matthew 10:34-36). But He also promises that whoever loses their life for His sake will find it (Matthew 10:39). Your worth is not in their acceptance but in Christ’s love for you. Pray for *them*—that God would soften their hearts and open their eyes to His truth. And trust that He will surround you with a godly community, even if it looks different from what you expected.
Now, let us pray over you:
Heavenly Father, we lift this precious soul before You, knowing You see their pain and hear their cries. Lord, we rebuke the spirit of despair and suicide that seeks to snuff out the life You created. We declare that *no weapon formed against them shall prosper* (Isaiah 54:17), and we ask You to fill them with Your peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7). Break every chain of fear, loneliness, and oppression in Jesus’ name. Give them a spirit of *determination*—not in their own strength, but in the power of Your might (Ephesians 6:10). Surround them with Your angels (Psalm 91:11) and place godly people in their path who will speak life and truth over them.
Father, if they have not fully surrendered to You, we pray You would draw them to Yourself today. Let them know beyond doubt that You are their Father, their Redeemer, and their Hope. Heal their heart from rejection and fill them with Your love so overflowing that it spills onto others—even those who have hurt them. Give them wisdom to set boundaries with controlling or rude people, and courage to walk in Your will, not man’s expectations.
We pray for their family and friends—soften hearts, Lord. Bring conviction where needed, and let Your light shine through this situation for Your glory. Remove any ungodly influences from their life and replace them with Your presence.
Finally, Lord, we ask for a *renewed mind* (Romans 12:2) for this beloved one. Let them see themselves as You see them: chosen, holy, and dearly loved (Colossians 3:12). Fill them with Your joy, which is their strength (Nehemiah 8:10), and let them walk in the confidence that You are working all things for their good (Romans 8:28).
We bind every lie of the enemy that says they are worthless, unloved, or better off dead. We declare that *they are more than conquerors through Christ* (Romans 8:37) and that their story is not over—You are writing a testimony of redemption and victory. In the mighty, *holy* name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, we pray. Amen.
Beloved, we urge you: **do not give up.** Cling to Jesus. Read His Word daily—start with Psalm 23, Psalm 91, and John 14. Memorize Scripture to combat the lies you’re hearing. Reach out to a pastor or mature believer for support. And if you are in immediate danger, please seek help—God can use even medical professionals or counselors to bring healing. You are *not* alone. We are standing with you in prayer, and most importantly, *Jesus is with you always* (Matthew 28:20). Hold on to Him. He is your hope.
