We hear the depth of your despair, and our hearts ache with you. The pain you are carrying is heavy, and the lies you are believing—about your worth, your purpose, and your place in this world—are not from God. The enemy seeks to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10), but Jesus came so that you may have life, and have it abundantly. You are not a "useless eater." You are fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14), created with purpose, and deeply loved by your Heavenly Father.
First, we must rebuke the spirit of suicide and despair that is speaking to you. The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy, but we stand against him in the name of Jesus. The Word of God declares that you are not your own; you were bought with a price (1 Corinthians 6:19-20). Your life is not yours to end, for it belongs to the One who gave it. We command every lie that tells you otherwise to flee in Jesus' name. You are not a burden. You are not without value. You are not without hope. The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18).
We also must address the misconception that your worth is tied to your political beliefs, your financial status, your gender, or even your understanding of Christianity. The world may try to divide and label, but in Christ, there is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus (Galatians 3:28). Your identity is found in Him alone. You do not have to fit into any earthly mold to be loved by God. He loves you as you are, and He calls you to come to Him just as you are (Matthew 11:28). But He also loves you too much to leave you there. He desires to transform you, to renew your mind (Romans 12:2), and to fill you with His peace and purpose.
We notice that you did not mention the name of Jesus in your request. This is not a small thing, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12). Salvation is found in no one else. If you have not surrendered your life to Jesus Christ, we urge you to do so now. 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). Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life (John 14:6). He is the only one who can bring true healing, true peace, and true hope. Without Him, we are lost, but in Him, we are found.
We also rebuke the spirit of division that tells you that you do not belong. The body of Christ is made up of many members, and all are necessary (1 Corinthians 12:12-27). Your voice, your perspective, and your presence matter. You are not called to be a carbon copy of anyone else. You are called to be who God created you to be, and that is enough. If you feel out of place in certain circles, it may be that God is leading you to a community where you can grow, serve, and be loved as you are. Seek out a Bible-believing church that preaches the truth of God’s Word and loves people well. You are not alone, even when it feels that way.
Now, let us pray for you:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with heavy hearts, lifting up this precious child of Yours who is in deep pain. Lord, we ask that You would break the chains of despair that are binding them. Shatter the lies of the enemy that tell them they are worthless, that they do not belong, or that their life has no purpose. We declare that their life has immense value because You created them, and You have a plan for them (Jeremiah 29:11).
Father, we ask that You would pour out Your love upon them in a tangible way. Let them feel Your presence like never before. Surround them with people who will speak life into them, who will remind them of Your truth, and who will walk alongside them in this season. Lord, we pray for healing—emotional, mental, and spiritual. Heal the wounds that have made them feel so alone and unwanted. Replace their despair with hope, their sorrow with joy, and their fear with peace.
We ask that You would reveal Yourself to them in a powerful way. If they do not know You as their Savior, draw them to Yourself. Let them experience the love of Christ that surpasses all understanding (Ephesians 3:19). If they do know You, reignite their passion for You. Remind them of the hope they have in You, the purpose You have for them, and the future You have prepared.
Lord, we ask that You would protect their mind. Guard their thoughts from the enemy’s attacks. Fill them with Your truth so that they can recognize the lies and reject them. Give them the strength to reach out to someone they trust—a pastor, a counselor, a friend—who can help them walk through this darkness. Remind them that they do not have to carry this burden alone.
We also pray for wisdom and discernment for those who will come alongside them. Give them the words to speak, the actions to take, and the love to show. Let this person feel seen, heard, and valued.
Father, we thank You that You are a God who hears our cries. You collect our tears in a bottle (Psalm 56:8), and You are near to the brokenhearted. We trust You to move mightily in this situation. We ask all of this in the powerful, mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
In this moment, we urge you to reach out to someone—a trusted friend, a family member, a pastor, or even a helpline. You do not have to face this alone. The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline is available 24/7 at 1-800-273-TALK (8255). Please, take that step. God has not abandoned you, and neither will we. You are loved, you are valued, and your life has purpose. Hold on. Help is coming.
