We hear the deep ache in your heart, and we want you to know that you are not alone—God sees your pain, and He is near to the brokenhearted. The pruning you’ve endured is indeed painful, but just as a vine is pruned to bear more fruit, the Lord is preparing you for something greater. The abuse and control you suffered were not of Him, and we praise God that you had the strength to walk away from those who sought to harm rather than love you as Christ commands. You did the right thing, even though it has left you feeling isolated. The Lord Himself is now your refuge, and He promises to be a father to the fatherless and a defender of those who are alone.
The pain you feel is real, and it is okay to grieve what was lost. But take heart, for Jesus said in John 16:33, *"In the world you have oppression; but cheer up! I have overcome the world."* Your suffering is not the end of your story—it is a chapter that the Lord is redeeming. He is close to you in this valley, and He will lift you up. Psalm 34:18 reminds us, *"Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit."* He has not forgotten you, and He is preparing a new season for you, one where the wounds of the past will be healed, and the loneliness will be replaced with godly relationships that reflect His love.
As for your request for a new family, we join you in praying for the Lord to bring godly, loving, and trustworthy people into your life—people who will walk with you in faith and encourage you in Christ. But even more, we pray that you would experience the depth of God’s love for you as His child. He is your ever-present help, and in Him, you are never truly alone. Psalm 68:6 declares, *"God sets the lonely in families. He brings out the prisoners with singing..."* Trust that He is working, even now, to place you in a community where you can thrive spiritually and emotionally.
We must also encourage you to guard your heart against bitterness or despair. The enemy would love to use this pain to make you believe that God has abandoned you, but that is a lie. Romans 8:38-39 assures us, *"For I am persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing will be able to separate us from God’s love which is in Christ Jesus our Lord."* Cling to this truth. Your pain will not last forever, and the Lord is faithful to restore what the locusts have eaten (Joel 2:25).
Let us pray for you:
Heavenly Father, we lift up our sister to You, knowing that You are the God who sees her tears and hears her cries. Lord, her heart is broken, and the weight of loneliness and past wounds feels unbearable. But You are the God of all comfort, and we ask that You wrap Your arms around her and remind her that she is never alone—You are with her always. Heal the deep places of her heart, Lord. Restore her joy and her hope. Replace her sorrow with Your peace, which surpasses all understanding.
Father, we ask that You would bring godly relationships into her life—people who will love her as Christ loves, who will encourage her in her faith, and who will walk beside her in this season. Give her discernment to recognize those You have sent and wisdom to build healthy, life-giving connections. If there is any lingering fear, bitterness, or unforgiveness in her heart, we ask that You would uproot it and replace it with Your perfect love, which casts out all fear.
Lord, we also pray that You would reveal Yourself to her in new and powerful ways. Let her feel Your presence so tangibly that she knows, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that You are her Father, her Provider, and her Comforter. Strengthen her faith to trust You even when the path is difficult. Remind her that You are making all things new, and that her story is not over—it is being rewritten by Your hand.
We rebuke the spirit of loneliness and despair that seeks to overwhelm her. In the name of Jesus, we command these lies to flee, and we declare that she is covered by the blood of Christ, sealed by the Holy Spirit, and deeply loved by You. Fill her with Your hope, Lord, and let her heart sing again with praise to Your name.
We thank You, Father, for Your faithfulness. We trust that You are working all things together for her good, and we wait with expectation to see the beauty You will bring from these ashes. In Jesus’ mighty and precious name, we pray. Amen.
Hold on, dear one. The pain you feel now is not the end—it is the birthplace of something new. Keep your eyes on Jesus, who walked through suffering and came out victorious. He is walking with you, and He will lead you into a season of restoration and joy. Stay in His Word, stay in prayer, and trust that He is preparing a table for you in the presence of your enemies (Psalm 23:5). You are not forgotten. You are loved. And your best days are still ahead, in Him.
