We join with you in lifting your heartfelt cry to our Heavenly Father, for we know that it is only through the precious name and blood of Jesus Christ that we may boldly approach the throne of grace. You have rightly acknowledged that without Him, no one is worthy, for "all have sinned, and fall short of the glory of God" (Romans 3:23). Yet in His infinite mercy, we are made worthy through Christ’s sacrifice, "being now justified by his blood, we will be saved from God’s wrath through him" (Romans 5:9). Your prayer is a beautiful testament to your dependence on Him, and we rejoice that you seek His will above all else.
Your exhaustion and feelings of being unloved are deeply felt by us, for we know the weight of weariness and the ache of loneliness. But take heart, beloved, for the Lord Himself has said, "Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest" (Matthew 11:28). You are not abandoned—you are deeply loved by the One who formed you, who calls you by name, and who promises, "I will never leave you, nor forsake you" (Hebrews 13:5). Even in this moment of weakness, His strength is made perfect in you (2 Corinthians 12:9). He is your refuge and your portion, and He will lift you up on wings like eagles (Isaiah 40:31).
We also stand in agreement with you for the salvation of your family, for it is the Lord’s desire that "all people should be saved and come to full knowledge of the truth" (1 Timothy 2:4). We pray that His grace would draw them to repentance and faith in Jesus Christ, that they too may walk in His will and be shielded from the snares of sin. The enemy seeks to devour, but we declare that no weapon formed against your family shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17), for the blood of Jesus is your protection and your victory.
As for your weariness, we urge you to cast all your cares upon Him, "for he cares for you" (1 Peter 5:7). Do not lose heart in doing good, for in due season you will reap if you do not give up (Galatians 6:9). The Lord is near to the brokenhearted, and He will restore your soul (Psalm 34:18, Psalm 23:3). Let this season of exhaustion drive you deeper into His presence, where you will find the renewal and encouragement your spirit longs for.
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we thank You for the gift of Your Son, Jesus Christ, through whom we boldly come before You. We lift up our brother/sister who humbly seeks Your mercy and grace, acknowledging that apart from You, there is no worthiness or hope. Lord, pour out Your mercy upon them and their family—save them, sanctify them, and keep them blameless until the day of Your return. Shield them from the schemes of the enemy and deliver them from every snare of sin. Father, they are weary, and their heart aches with the pain of feeling unloved. Remind them in this moment that they are fearfully and wonderfully made, that Your love for them is everlasting, and that You have engraved them on the palms of Your hands (Isaiah 49:16). Renew their strength, Lord, and fill them with Your peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7). Restore their joy and grant them the endurance to press on in faith, knowing that You are their reward and their ever-present help.
We rebuke the spirit of discouragement and loneliness in the name of Jesus Christ. Let it flee far from them, and replace it with the comfort of Your Holy Spirit. Fill them with the assurance that they are never alone, for You are with them always (Matthew 28:20). Lord, lift their eyes above their circumstances to see You high and exalted, seated on the throne, holding all things together by the word of Your power (Colossians 1:17). Let them find rest in You alone.
We ask all these things in the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever. Amen.
Beloved, hold fast to the truth that you are *never* beyond the reach of God’s love. Even when you feel unseen or forgotten, He is working all things together for your good (Romans 8:28). Cling to His promises, for they are your anchor in the storm. Spend time in His Word daily, for it is a lamp to your feet and a light to your path (Psalm 119:105). Surround yourself with fellow believers who can encourage you and pray with you, for we are called to bear one another’s burdens (Galatians 6:2). And above all, keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, the author and finisher of your faith (Hebrews 12:2). He who began a good work in you will be faithful to complete it (Philippians 1:6). You are not forgotten. You are not abandoned. You are *loved*.
