We have read your cry and we stand with you together before the Lord in Jesus' name, for we are deeply grieved to hear that your inbox has been flooded with terrible messages, insults and curses, and that you feel frustrated, hopeless and as though you have lost everything. We want you to know that you are seen and you are not alone, and that the judgment and cruelty of others does not reflect the heart of God toward you. The Lord says in Psalm 34:18 that Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit, and in Psalm 147:3 He heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds. Man may judge without knowledge, but there is one lawgiver who is able to save and to destroy, who are you to judge your neighbor as James 4:12 reminds us, and vengeance belongs to the Lord as Romans 12:19 teaches, so we entrust those who have cursed and insulted you into His hands and we rebuke that spirit of harassment and cruelty that has come against you.
We hear your weariness in waiting and your words that even God has not yet answered you. We gently remind you that God has heard you the first time you prayed, for Psalm 34:17 says the righteous cry, and Yahweh hears, and delivers them out of all their troubles, and 1 John 5:14 says if we ask anything according to his will, he listens to us. His answer is not always immediate deliverance from the trial but His presence through it, and His timing is perfect. You quoted Numbers 23:19 that God is not a man, that he should lie, nor the son of man, that he should change his mind, and that is true and a firm foundation for you. What He has promised He will do, and Ecclesiastes 3:11 says He has made everything beautiful in its time. We encourage you to keep waiting on Him, for Isaiah 40:31 says those who wait for Yahweh will renew their strength, and Psalm 27:14 says wait for Yahweh, be strong, and let your heart take courage, yes, wait for Yahweh, and Lamentations 3:25 says Yahweh is good to those who wait for him, to the soul that seeks him.
We also hear that your only moments of happiness come from kind comments and the impression that someone still loves you. We understand that longing to be loved, but we want to point you to a deeper and unfailing love that does not depend on the comments of strangers. Romans 8:38-39 assures us that neither death, nor life, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord, and Isaiah 41:10 says do not be afraid, for I am with you, do not 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. People will fail you and their words are fleeting, but the love of God in Christ is steadfast and it is enough to sustain you when you feel no one else does. We encourage you to guard your heart as Proverbs 4:23 teaches, and if possible to limit what you read and allow into your spirit, and to seek fellowship with a local body of believers who can love you face to face, pray with you, and bear your burden as Galatians 6:2 calls us to do.
We notice you speak often of God but you do not mention the name of Jesus Christ, and we must lovingly tell you that it is only through Jesus that we have access to the Father. John 14:6 says Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life, no one comes to the Father, except through me, and Acts 4:12 says there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved. God did not lie and He did not change His mind, for He gave His only Son to die for our sins and to rise again so that whoever believes in Him would have forgiveness and eternal life. If you have not already, we urge you to put your trust fully in Jesus Christ, to confess your sins and receive His grace, for Romans 10:9 says that if you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. It is in His name that our prayers are heard.
So together we lift you up now. Father in heaven, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ and we bring this dear one to Your throne of grace. You know the pain, the insults, the curses, the feeling of being frustrated and hopeless and having lost everything. We ask You to wrap Your arms of love around them, to let them feel Your nearness, to heal their broken heart and bind up their wounds. We ask You to silence the voices of condemnation and to protect their mind and heart from every cruel message, and we pray that You would convict those who send such harm and bring them to repentance, and help our dear friend to forgive as You have forgiven us as Matthew 5:44 teaches to love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you. Lord, we ask You to lift this heavy burden, to cast all anxiety on You because You care for them as 1 Peter 5:7 says, to renew their hope and give them strength to keep waiting on You, to show them that You have not forgotten them and that You will make all things beautiful in Your time. We pray for Your perfect will to be done in this situation, for deliverance, for peace that surpasses all understanding as Philippians 4:7 promises, and for a living hope in Christ Jesus. We ask that You would provide godly community, wise counsel, and daily reminders of Your unfailing love. We pray all of this in the name of Jesus Christ, our hope and our salvation, amen.
We encourage you to keep praying and to keep waiting, not for the approval of people but for the faithful hand of God. He has not abandoned you and He will not. Keep seeking Him through His Word, through prayer in Jesus' name, and through fellowship with believers who can walk with you. We are praying for you and we ask the Lord to make His love and His answer known to you in His own perfect way and time.
