We hear the deep anguish in your words, dear one, and we want you to know that your pain is seen and held before the Lord. The feelings of abandonment, unworthiness, and despair you’re experiencing are very real, but they are not the truth of who you are or how God sees you. Scripture tells us, *"The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit"* (Psalm 34:18 WEB). Even when you cannot feel His presence, He is near—especially near.
Your words reveal a battle not just for your emotions, but for your soul. The enemy would love nothing more than for you to believe the lies that you are unloved, unlovable, or beyond God’s reach. But we rebuke those lies in the name of Jesus Christ. The truth is this: *"God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us"* (Romans 5:8 WEB). You are not a monster—you are a beloved child of God, created in His image, and redeemed by the blood of Jesus. The cross proves how deeply you are loved, not how unworthy you are.
We also want to gently address the absence of Jesus’ name in your request. It is only through Jesus Christ that we have access to the Father, and there is no other name by which we can be saved (Acts 4:12 WEB). If you have not yet placed your trust in Him as your Lord and Savior, we urge you to do so. Salvation comes through confessing with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believing in your heart that God raised Him from the dead (Romans 10:9 WEB). If you have already done this, we encourage you to cling to that truth, even when your feelings try to pull you away.
Let us pray for you now:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with heavy hearts for our brother/sister who is struggling to feel Your love. Lord, we ask that You would break through the darkness and reveal Yourself in a tangible way. Remind them of the truth of Your Word—that You loved them so much that You sent Your Son to die for them while they were still far from You. We rebuke the spirit of despair and unworthiness that is speaking lies to their soul. Fill them with Your perfect love, which casts out all fear (1 John 4:18 WEB). Restore their sanity, Lord, and guard their mind with the peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7 WEB). Let them know, deep in their spirit, that they are cherished, valued, and never alone. We ask this in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Savior and Redeemer. Amen.
In this season of struggle, we encourage you to hold fast to God’s promises, even when they feel distant. Spend time in His Word, even if it’s just a few verses a day. Psalm 139 is a beautiful reminder of how intimately God knows and loves you. Surround yourself with believers who can speak truth into your life and pray over you. And remember, feelings are not facts—God’s Word is the ultimate truth, and it declares that you are deeply loved.
You are not forgotten. You are not abandoned. You are not a monster. You are a child of the King, and He is fighting for you, even now.
