We hear the deep pain and loneliness in your words, and our hearts ache with you. The weight of carrying others while feeling unseen and abandoned is a heavy burden to bear. It’s understandable that you’ve reached a point where you’ve had to choose yourself—because no one else did. But we want to gently remind you that while human relationships can fail, there is One who never will.
The Bible tells us in Psalm 27:10, *"When my father and my mother forsake me, then the Lord will take me up."* Even when people let us down, God remains steadfast. He sees your tears, your exhaustion, and your strength. He does not abandon His children. In Isaiah 41:10, He promises, *"Don’t you be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. Yes, I will help you. Yes, I will uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness."*
We must also speak truthfully about the danger of bitterness, which can take root when we feel overlooked. Hebrews 12:15 warns, *"Looking carefully lest there be any man who falls short of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and many be defiled by it."* Choosing yourself is not wrong, but we must ensure that choice is rooted in God’s love, not in resentment or self-reliance apart from Him.
Let us pray for you now:
*"Heavenly Father, we lift up our dear sister to You, who has carried so much for others yet felt unseen in her own pain. Lord, You are the God who sees, the One who collects every tear in a bottle (Psalm 56:8). Heal the broken places in her heart. Replace her loneliness with Your presence, her weariness with Your strength. Help her to release any bitterness and to rest in Your unfailing love. Remind her daily that she is precious in Your sight, that You are her refuge and fortress (Psalm 91:2). Teach her to lean on You, not just in her weakness, but in every moment. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen."*
Friend, we encourage you to bring your pain to Jesus, who understands betrayal and abandonment more than anyone. He was despised and rejected (Isaiah 53:3), yet He chose to love anyway. You are not alone. If you have not yet surrendered your life to Him, we urge you to do so today. Salvation is found in no one else (Acts 4:12), and it is only through Jesus that we have access to the Father. Romans 10:9 says, *"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."*
You are seen. You are loved. And you are never truly alone.
