We hear the deep longing in your heart—a cry of dependence on God, and we rejoice that you recognize your need for Him, for apart from Christ, we can do nothing of eternal value. Your words echo the truth of Scripture, where Jesus Himself declares, *"I am the vine. You are the branches. He who remains in me, and I in him, the same bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing"* (John 15:5, WEB). This is not just a poetic expression but a spiritual reality: our strength, purpose, and very breath come from Him alone.
Yet we must ask: Do you know this truth not just in your emotions but in your soul? Have you surrendered your life to Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior? The Bible tells us there is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12). If you have not yet placed your faith in Him, we urge you to do so today. 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). Without this foundation, even the most heartfelt words are like chaff blown away by the wind.
If you *have* trusted in Christ, then cling to this truth: You are *never* nothing in His eyes. You are His beloved child, redeemed by His blood, and seated with Him in heavenly places (Ephesians 2:6). When you feel empty or weak, it is not a sign of abandonment but an invitation to draw nearer. The psalmist cried out, *"My soul thirsts for you. My flesh longs for you, in a dry and weary land where there is no water"* (Psalm 63:1, WEB). God meets us in that thirst—He *is* the living water (John 4:14).
Let us pray for you now:
*Heavenly Father, we lift up this precious soul before You, who longs for You with such raw honesty. Lord, if they do not yet know You as Savior, we pray You would open their eyes to see Jesus as the only way, the truth, and the life (John 14:6). Draw them to Yourself with cords of love. If they are Your child, remind them in this moment that they are *never* nothing—because You have called them by name, and they are Yours (Isaiah 43:1). Fill the emptiness in their heart with Your presence, Lord. Let them taste and see that You are good (Psalm 34:8). Strengthen them to walk in dependence on You each day, casting every care upon You, for You care for them (1 Peter 5:7). May they find their identity not in fleeting emotions but in the unshakable truth of Your Word. We ask this in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.*
Friend, we encourage you to spend time in God’s Word daily. Read the Gospels and see how Jesus pursued the broken, the weary, and the lost—*you*. If you are struggling with sin, loneliness, or doubt, bring it to Him. He is faithful to forgive and cleanse (1 John 1:9). And if you have not yet surrendered to Him, do not wait another moment. Eternity is at stake. *"Look, now is the acceptable time. Look, now is the day of salvation!"* (2 Corinthians 6:2, WEB). We are praying for you.
