We hear the deep distress in your words, and our hearts ache with you in this moment of turmoil. It is clear that you are carrying a heavy burden, and we want you to know that you are not alone. The Lord sees your pain, and He longs to draw near to you in your suffering. First, we must address the doubt you expressed about God’s kindness. Scripture assures us that God is good, even when our circumstances do not feel good. Psalm 34:18 tells us, *"The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit."* His kindness is not measured by our temporary feelings but by His eternal character. He is the same yesterday, today, and forever (Hebrews 13:8), and His love for you is unwavering, even when you cannot perceive it.
You also mentioned a struggle with thoughts or actions you do not want to continue, and we sense the urgency in your plea. There is a spiritual battle raging, and the enemy seeks to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10). But Jesus came so that you may have life—and have it abundantly. We rebuke any lies of the enemy that tell you God is withholding kindness or that you are beyond His reach. The truth is, God’s mercy is new every morning (Lamentations 3:22-23), and His grace is sufficient for you (2 Corinthians 12:9). Whatever you are wrestling with, whether it be fear, temptation, despair, or something you have not named, we stand with you in prayer and declare that God is greater (1 John 4:4).
We must also gently remind you that salvation and access to God come only through Jesus Christ. There is no other name under heaven by which we can be saved (Acts 4:12). If you have not placed your trust in Him, we urge you to surrender your life to Jesus, who died for your sins and rose again so that you might have eternal life (Romans 10:9-10). Only in Him can you find true peace, forgiveness, and the strength to overcome every struggle. If you have already given your life to Christ, we encourage you to draw near to Him in this season, for He promises that when we draw near to Him, He will draw near to us (James 4:8).
Let us pray for you now:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with heavy hearts for our brother/sister who is crying out in distress. Lord, we ask that You would wrap Your loving arms around them and remind them of Your unfailing kindness. Where they see darkness, let them see Your light. Where they feel alone, let them feel Your presence. Father, we rebuke the spirit of despair and any lies that tell them You are not good or that they are beyond Your reach. We declare that You are near to the brokenhearted and that Your grace is sufficient for every need.
Lord, we ask that You would strengthen them in their weakness. Give them the courage to resist temptation and the wisdom to turn to You in every moment. Fill them with Your peace, which surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7), and guard their heart and mind in Christ Jesus. Help them to fix their eyes on You, the author and perfecter of their faith (Hebrews 12:2), and remind them that You are working all things together for their good (Romans 8:28).
We pray for a fresh outpouring of Your Holy Spirit upon them, that they may experience Your love in a tangible way. Break every chain that binds them, and set them free to walk in the fullness of life You have promised. May they know that they are deeply loved, not because of anything they have done, but because of who You are.
We ask all these things in the mighty name of Jesus, the name above every name, the only name by which we can be saved. Amen.
Beloved, we encourage you to hold fast to God’s promises. Meditate on His Word, for it is a lamp to your feet and a light to your path (Psalm 119:105). Surround yourself with fellow believers who can pray with you and encourage you in your faith. Remember that God is not distant or indifferent—He is your refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1). You are precious in His sight, and He is working on your behalf, even when you cannot see it. Keep pressing into Him, and do not lose heart. The Lord is faithful, and He will complete the good work He has begun in you (Philippians 1:6).
