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.

Im like you the fun has run out. There no luxury. No enjoyment. No best freind. There's hardly a job for me. Im disabled. Diseased. Slowly disappearing. A nobody. In constant pain discomfort. Stress. Triggering flare ips. And bed ridden unable to move around much time. But everyday prayer. Everyday worship. Stronger fsith. Build on that foundation of fsith so when that day comes and God decides to restore my health I know he does so because he saw that I was capable of keeping the way of the Lord. To fsith. If not for my sickness and bad luck I would not be able to partipaye in faith. I didn't understand faith before. I was a new ager. Trapped in new age. I was a drug addict. And porn addict. Cant even marry a woman to save my iwn life because the addiction to porn literally is killing my immune system and crippling my lide yet I can't stop. Im addicted. So I pray night and day and listen to Bible night and day to fight the urges and survive. Nay God help you in the day of trouble. In calsmity. May God be there to deliver ypu from it we pray and give worship and thanks to God. Our pain and discomfort and constant need is the secret to our faith. Please consider dedicated prayer faith worship and bible studies. If you think uou are ready to deducate your whole life to serving God. May he bless you richly with love comfort and warmth. In Lord Yeshuas nsme. Only way were gonna survive this. Or id be disappearing with you.

Your cry has been heard and your sorrow has been laid before the Lord with great tenderness. To be left without mother and father while still a child, to have no name in the records of men, to be hungry and cold and sick and to feel that every hand you trusted has turned away, is a burden few can comprehend. And to pray as a daughter and to feel that heaven is silent, to kneel and hear only the echo of your own voice, is a grief of mind that is harder to bear than pain of body. You ask what sin you committed as a little girl to deserve this, and why you are left to die slowly. Hear the truth in love, you did not bring this orphanhood upon yourself by some hidden childhood sin, and your suffering is not proof that you are forgotten. We are all by nature sinners before a holy God and need a Saviour, but your affliction is not a special punishment for a child's fault. The Lord sees you even when the world says you do not exist.

There is One who knows this cry of forsakenness to its depths. Our Lord Jesus Christ Himself cried, My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me. He who was without sin was forsaken in darkness that sinners might never be forsaken. Grief of mind and pain of body met upon Him, yet even then His faith did not falter, for He said twice, My God, My God, laying hold upon His Father with a double grip. That cry teaches us that to feel forsaken is not to be forsaken, and that prayer is still our refuge when we think God has withdrawn. If you think God has forsaken you, do not give up prayer, but pray the more earnestly, and do not give up faith in Him, but cry again, My God, My God. The child in the dark is still His child when she cries after her Father.

Unanswered prayer is not unheard prayer. God keeps a file for our prayers and His long dated bills will be punctually honoured. He does not measure time as we do, and delays are not denials. At times He uses the arduous exercise of waiting to strengthen the muscles and sinews of the soul, that we may be made useful and may learn to trust Him more fully. At other times He would have us search our hearts, not to find a cause for orphanhood, but to see our need of His grace and to bring us to His promise. Get hold of His promise in Christ and then offer your prayer, for sincere prayer, though it be feeble and broken and seem to reel to and fro as a man at his wit's end, is always acceptable to Him. He has heard the inward groaning when you had no words left, and He has heard the prayer that was only, God forgive me that I cannot pray. Calling upon God in the day of trouble is itself a truthful recognition that He is real and that He is your hope, and it brings honour to Him both in the asking and in the answer, for He has said, Call upon Me in the day of trouble, I will deliver you.

Hear also what the Lord says to those who fear they are forgotten, I have engraved you upon the palms of My hands. His people were loved by Him long before the world was created, and He has loved too long to forget. Judge not the Lord by outward providences or by feeble sense, but trust Him even when you can see no trace of His goodness. You are not invisible to Him. Though you have no document to prove you are human before men, you are fully known and seen before God, who made you in His image and who sees you cold and hungry and sick and alone in that place.

The one remedy for the sin sick soul is the Word of God applied by the Holy Spirit, and the one hope for the forsaken heart is Jesus Christ alone. He was forsaken that you might be received. He was wounded that you might be healed. Salvation is through Him alone, by His blood and righteousness, not by our tears or our strength. Come to Him as you are, helpless and without plea, and cast yourself upon His mercy. Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you shall be saved. He will not turn away the soul that comes to Him in truth.

We are praying for you now, that the Lord will be your Father and your portion, that He will lift the silence and give you to feel His presence, that He will provide daily bread and medicine and shelter, and that He will raise up faithful hands near you to help you. We pray that He will keep you from disappearing and will sustain your life. Seek, as you are able, the help of a faithful local church and those who can aid you with food and care and with steps toward an identity document, for God often delivers by the hands of His people. You are not mad for feeling as you do, and you are not alone as you think. The Lord who heard Hagar in the wilderness hears you still.

May the Lord show you that you are neither forsaken nor forgotten, and may He give you grace to keep crying to Him until the answer comes in His perfect time and way.
