My name is ###. I am ### years old. Hear me.

[Anonymous]

My mother is gone. My father is gone. I watched them leave me, and I became an orphan when I was still a child. I have no birth certificate. I have no ID. I have no document to prove that I am a human being. In the eyes of this world, I do not exist. I went to many people. I trusted them. I thought they would protect me because I am small and alone. But they all failed me. They left me. They promised, then they disappeared. They saw me hungry, they saw me cold, they saw me broken, but they turned their faces away. I am abandoned by every hand I ever held. Now, I am sick and helpless. I have no medicine. I have no strength to struggle anymore. I sleep without food, in pain and without medicine. I have prayed in hunger. I have prayed in the cold. I have prayed in my sickness. I called God, I called Him as a daughter calls a father. I said, "Father, see me." But the heavens are silent. My prayers go up and come back empty. I kneel, there is no answer. I cry, and there is only the echo of my own cry. What sin did I commit as a little girl to deserve this? Why does everyone who says they love me leave me to die slowly? I have nothing left to give, not even tears. If you are listening, if you are seeing me, this is not a story. I am human. I am sick. I am helpless. I am not mad. I am here in ###. I am cold. I am hungry. I am sick. I am alone. I am helpless. Please, I need help. I need your prayers before I disappear completely. ###, age ###.

We have heard your cry and we have read every word you shared and we do not turn our faces away from you. We see you. More importantly God sees you. Though the world may say you do not exist because you have no birth certificate and no ID, you do exist to God and you are precious to Him. You are not invisible to Him and you are not forgotten.

The Word tells us that God is a father of the fatherless and a defender of the widows in his holy habitation Psalm 68:5. It also says When my father and my mother forsake me then Yahweh will take me up Psalm 27:10. And Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart and saves those who have a crushed spirit Psalm 34:18. We want you to know that your worth is not determined by a document. You were formed by God and He knows your name. For you formed my inmost being you knit me together in my mother's womb Psalm 139:13. You are fearfully and wonderfully made and your life has value even when every hand you held has let go.

We gently rebuke the lie that you are worthless or that you deserved this abandonment because of some sin you committed as a little girl. No child deserves to be orphaned and left hungry and cold. We live in a fallen and broken world where people fail and sin against one another but your suffering is not a punishment from God for being a child. We also rebuke the lie that the heavens are forever silent or that your prayers come back empty. God hears the cry of the helpless. He heals the broken in heart and binds up their wounds Psalm 147:3. Even when you feel no answer He is near and He promises I will never leave you nor forsake you Deuteronomy 31:8 and Fear not for I am with you Isaiah 41:10.

You said you called God as a daughter calls a father and said Father see me. We weep with you in that prayer and we want to share a truth that gives that prayer its power. It is only through Jesus Christ that we have access to God as Father. Jesus said I am the way the truth and the life No one comes to the Father except through me John 14:6. And There is salvation in none other for neither is there any other name under heaven that is given among men by which we must be saved Acts 4:12. This means God hears you not because you have the right papers or because you have been strong enough but because Jesus His Son died and rose again so that you can be called His daughter. If you have not yet put your trust in Jesus we encourage you to call upon His name and believe that He died for your sins and rose again and He will receive you and never leave you. Nothing can separate you from His love Romans 8:38-39.

We pray together for you now.

Father in heaven we lift up this precious daughter to You in the name of Jesus Christ. You see her where she is cold and hungry and sick and alone and without medicine and without strength. You know her name when the world says she has no name. We ask that You wrap her in Your presence and let her know she is not abandoned by You. Heal her body and ease her pain and provide food and warmth and shelter and medicine according to Your mercy. Send faithful people to her a local church or believers or kind neighbors who will not fail her but will show her Your love in action. Open the way for her to receive help with documents and care so she is recognized and protected. Comfort her broken heart and lift the heaviness that tells her she is forgotten. Let her hear Your voice and know that You are her Father and that through Jesus she is Your child forever. Give her strength to live one more day and hope for tomorrow. We ask this in the name of Jesus our only hope and Savior. Amen.

We will continue to pray for you. We encourage you to keep calling on the Lord through Jesus and to not give up. Please if you can reach out to a nearby Christian church or a trusted ministry or a clinic or aid workers where you are and let them know you are sick and need help and have no documents. You deserve care and protection. You are human and you are loved by God. Come to Him all you who labor and are heavily burdened and He will give you rest Matthew 11:28. He is with you even now and we are standing with you in prayer that you will feel His nearness and receive the help you need before you disappear. You are not alone.

We hear you, . Thank you for writing so honestly and for letting us see where you are right now. To have lost your parents so young, to have no papers that say you exist, to have trusted people who then left, and now to be sick, cold and hungry with no strength left is a heavy burden to carry alone. It makes sense you feel abandoned and that your prayers have felt empty. You asked what you did as a little girl to deserve this. You did not deserve to be left or to suffer in this way.

You are not invisible to us, and you are not invisible to God. Even when heaven feels silent, your life matters and your pain matters. You said you are human and you are here, and we believe you. You are not mad for feeling this way.

We are praying for you, and we also want you to have care for your body right now. Since you are sick and without medicine or food, if you are able please try to let someone near you know you need help getting medical care, a local clinic, a church, or a trusted aid group in your area, or a neighbor you can ask to go with you. You deserve attention for your health alongside prayer, not instead of it.

Father, we lift ### to You right now. You see her, You know her name and her need. Please draw near to her in her loneliness and sickness, provide food, warmth, shelter and kind people who will stay and help, and give her wisdom for next steps. Hold her when she feels she might disappear. In Jesus name, amen.
