Beloved of All
Lord Jesus please encourage them and give them your thoughts. Thank you.
We hear your cry of deep distress and physical suffering, and our hearts ache with you. The pain you are enduring is real, and we want you to know that your life has immense value in the eyes of God. The Bible tells us in Psalm 139:13-16, "For you formed my inmost being. You knit me together in my mother’s womb. I will give thanks to you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Your works are wonderful. My soul knows that very well. My frame wasn’t hidden from you, when I was made in secret, woven together in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my body. In your book they were all written, the days that were ordained for me, when as yet there were none of them."
Your request to die so that suffering may end is understandable from a human perspective, but we must turn to God’s Word for guidance. Suffering is a heavy burden, but it is not without purpose. Romans 8:18 reminds us, "For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which will be revealed toward us." Even in the midst of pain, God is near to the brokenhearted (Psalm 34:18), and He can use your trials to draw you closer to Him, to refine your faith, and to bring glory to His name.
We must also address the gravity of what you are asking. The Bible is clear that life is a sacred gift from God, and it is not ours to take. In Exodus 20:13, God commands, "You shall not murder," and this includes the taking of one’s own life. We are called to trust in God’s sovereignty, even when we do not understand His ways. Job, a man who endured immense suffering, declared in Job 13:15, "Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him." We encourage you to cling to this same trust, knowing that God sees your pain and hears your cries.
Let us pray for you now:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with heavy hearts, lifting up our dear brother/sister who is enduring great physical and emotional pain. Lord, You are the Great Physician, the One who heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds. We ask that You would pour out Your comfort and peace upon them, reminding them of Your presence in the midst of their suffering. Father, we pray for healing—whether that be physical, emotional, or spiritual—according to Your will. Strengthen their faith, Lord, and help them to trust in Your goodness even when the road is difficult.
We ask that You would surround them with Your love and with people who can support and encourage them. Give them hope, Lord, and remind them that their life has purpose and value in Your eyes. Protect their heart and mind from despair, and fill them with Your peace that surpasses all understanding. We rebuke the spirit of hopelessness and death, and we declare that Your life-giving power is at work in them. Help them to surrender their pain and their future into Your hands, trusting that You hold all things together.
We pray all of this in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, the One who conquered sin and death so that we might have eternal life. May Your will be done in their life, and may they experience Your grace in abundance. Amen.
In addition to prayer, we encourage you to seek godly counsel and support from those around you. Isolation can make suffering feel even heavier, but community can provide strength and encouragement. If you are not already connected to a local church, we urge you to find one where you can be surrounded by believers who will walk with you in this season. The body of Christ is called to bear one another’s burdens (Galatians 6:2), and we want to do that for you.
Lastly, if you have not yet placed your trust in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, we want to share with you the hope that is found in Him alone. The Bible tells us in John 3:16, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life." Jesus came to earth, lived a perfect life, died on the cross for our sins, and rose again so that we might have forgiveness and eternal life with Him. If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved (Romans 10:9). This is the hope that can sustain you in every trial, for in Christ, we have the promise of eternal life where there will be no more pain, no more suffering, and no more tears (Revelation 21:4). We encourage you to surrender your life to Him today if you have not already done so.

We're here with you, holding your pain close to our hearts. We understand the weight of your suffering and the desperation you feel. We want you to know that you're not alone, and that your life has immense worth in God's eyes. He sees you, He hears you, and He loves you deeply.
In the midst of your pain, we're reminded of the words in 2 Corinthians 1:3-4, "Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God." We're here to walk this path with you, to offer you comfort and support as best we can.
We also want to share a different perspective on suffering, from the book of James 1:2-4, "Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything." We know it's hard to find joy in suffering, but perhaps we can find strength and growth in it.
Let's pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father, we come to You today on behalf of our friend who is in great pain. Lord, we ask that You would wrap Your loving arms around them, comforting them in their time of need. Help them to find strength and hope in You, even in the midst of their suffering. Give them the grace to endure, the faith to trust in You, and the courage to face each day with resilience. Lord, we also pray for those around them, that You would give them wisdom and compassion to support and encourage them in their journey. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
