We hear the deep pain and weariness in your heart, and we want you to know that God sees you, loves you, and values you infinitely. The way you are being treated is not just unfairāit is sinful, and it breaks the heart of our Father in heaven. You are absolutely right: every person, regardless of ability, race, age, or background, is made in the image of God and deserves to be treated with dignity and respect. The way others have screamed at you, talked down to you, and mistreated you is not only hurtful but contrary to the love and kindness Christ commands us to show one another. You are not the bad guyāyou are a child of God, and your kindness and restraint in the face of such mistreatment is a testament to the work of the Holy Spirit in you.
The Bible is clear about how we are to treat one another. Colossians 3:12-14 says, *"Put on therefore, as Godās chosen ones, holy and beloved, a heart of compassion, kindness, lowliness, humility, and perseverance; bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, if any man has a complaint against any; even as Christ forgave you, so you also do. Above all these things, walk in love, which is the bond of perfection."* You are already living out so much of thisāyour kindness, your patience, your refusal to retaliate in anger. That is beautiful in Godās sight. But we must also remember that while we are called to love and forgive, we are not called to endure abuse without seeking godly wisdom and boundaries. Jesus Himself spoke out against hypocrisy and mistreatment, and we are to follow His example in both gentleness *and* truth.
It is heartbreaking to hear how isolated and overwhelmed you feel. You mentioned that you are trying hard not to give up on everything, even your life. Please know that your life is precious to God, and He has a purpose for you. The enemy wants to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10), but Jesus came so that you might have life abundantly. If you are feeling hopeless or struggling with thoughts of giving up, we urge you to reach out to a trusted believer, pastor, or counselor who can walk with you through this. You do not have to carry this alone. The body of Christ is meant to bear one anotherās burdens (Galatians 6:2), and we are praying that God will surround you with people who reflect His love and protection.
We also want to encourage you with the truth that God is your defender. Psalm 34:17-19 says, *"The righteous cry, and Yahweh hears, and delivers them out of all their troubles. Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit. Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but Yahweh delivers him out of them all."* You are not forgotten. God sees every tear, every unkind word, every moment of pain, and He is near to you. He will vindicate you in His timing. Romans 12:19 reminds us, *"Donāt seek revenge yourselves, beloved, but give place to Godās wrath. For it is written, 'Vengeance belongs to me; I will repay, says the Lord.'"*
As for those who mistreat you, we must pray for them as well, as difficult as that may be. Jesus said in Matthew 5:44, *"But I tell you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who mistreat you and persecute you."* This does not mean you must allow them to continue hurting you, but it does mean releasing them to God and trusting Him to work in their hearts. Sometimes, people lash out because they are broken themselves. That doesnāt excuse their behavior, but it reminds us that they, too, need the grace of God.
We also want to address something important: you ended your prayer with *"in Jesus name"* and that is wonderful! There is power in the name of Jesus, and it is only through Him that we have access to the Father (John 14:6). We are so grateful you acknowledged Him, because it is in His name that we find hope, healing, and strength. If you have not already, we encourage you to surrender every part of your life to Jesus Christ. He is the only one who can fill the deepest longings of your heart and give you the peace that passes all understanding (Philippians 4:7). If you ever doubt your worth, remember this: *"God demonstrates his own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us"* (Romans 5:8). You are so loved that Jesus gave His life for you. That is how valuable you are.
Now, let us pray for you together:
Heavenly Father, we lift up our dear sibling in Christ to You right now. Lord, You see the pain they carryāthe rejection, the disrespect, the exhaustion of being mistreated again and again. Father, we ask that You would wrap them in Your arms and let them feel Your presence in a tangible way. Remind them that they are fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14), that they are Your beloved child, and that no weapon formed against them will prosper (Isaiah 54:17).
Lord, we rebuke the spirit of rejection, shame, and hopelessness that has tried to take root in their heart. We declare that they are *not* defined by the words or actions of others, but by who You say they are. Father, give them supernatural strength to endure, wisdom to set godly boundaries, and the courage to seek help when needed. Surround them with people who will love them as You doāwith patience, kindness, and respect.
We also pray for those who have hurt them. Lord, soften their hearts. Convict them of their sin and lead them to repentance. If they are broken, heal them. If they are prideful, humble them. Let them see the error of their ways and turn to You for transformation. Father, we ask that You would break the cycle of mistreatment in their life and replace it with relationships that honor You.
Lord, we pray for protection over their mind and emotions. When they feel like giving up, remind them that You are their hope and their strength (Psalm 46:1). Fill them with Your peace and joy, even in the midst of trials. Help them to forgive as You have forgiven them, not because itās easy, but because it sets *them* free.
Finally, Father, we ask that You would open doors for them to find a community of believers who will uplift them, encourage them, and stand with them. Let them experience the love of the body of Christ in a real and powerful way. We pray all of this in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Savior and Redeemer. Amen.
We want to leave you with one last encouragement: keep holding on to Jesus. Keep choosing kindness, even when itās hard. Keep trusting that God sees you and will justify you. You are not alone in this fight. We are standing with you in prayer, and most importantly, the Lord Almighty is fighting for you. *"Donāt be afraid, for I am with you. Donāt be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. Yes, I will help you. Yes, I will uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness"* (Isaiah 41:10). Stay strong in Him. You are loved more than you know.
