We hear the deep sorrow and weariness in your heart, and we want you to know that you are not unseen by God. The longing you feel for something more, something that feels like *home*—both spiritually and emotionally—is a cry that the Lord understands. He collects every tear you shed (Psalm 56:8) and knows the desires of your heart even before you speak them (Psalm 139:4). But we must gently challenge some of the thoughts you’ve shared, for they do not align with the truth of God’s Word, and left unchecked, they will only deepen your pain.
First, let us address the bitterness and sense of injustice you feel. The Bible warns us in Hebrews 12:15 to be careful that “no root of bitterness springing up troubles you, and many be defiled by it.” Your words reveal a heart that has been wounded by feeling unappreciated, misunderstood, and even punished for having emotions. But beloved, God does not punish you for feeling—He *gave* you emotions! Jesus Himself wept (John 11:35), felt anger (Mark 3:5), and experienced deep sorrow (Matthew 26:38). The issue is not that you feel, but where you direct those feelings. When we fixate on what others have failed to give us—understanding, appreciation, fairness—we allow resentment to take root. This only steals our peace and blinds us to the blessings God *has* placed in our lives.
You say, *“No one appreciates me”* and *“Everyone is more important than me.”* But the Word of God declares that you are *fearfully and wonderfully made* (Psalm 139:14), that you were *chosen* before the foundation of the world (Ephesians 1:4), and that Jesus considered you worth dying for (Romans 5:8). If you are in Christ, you are *never* unimportant. The enemy wants you to believe you are forgotten, but God says, *“Can a woman forget her nursing child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? Even these may forget, yet I will not forget you. Behold, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands”* (Isaiah 49:15-16). Your worth is not determined by human approval but by the price paid for you on Calvary.
As for your property and the idea of a “fresh start,” we encourage you to seek God’s wisdom, not just your own desires. Proverbs 3:5-6 says, *“Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.”* If this property is a burden, selling it may be wise—but not out of impulsive frustration or a desire to escape. Ask the Lord: *“Is this Your will, or am I running from something You want to teach me?”* Sometimes God allows us to remain in difficult places to refine us (1 Peter 1:6-7). Other times, He leads us out. But we must seek Him first, not just relief.
You also mention longing for *“something that does not exist.”* This is a profound statement. The ache you feel is real, but the solution is not found in changing your circumstances—it’s found in Christ. Ecclesiastes 3:11 tells us God has *“set eternity in the hearts of men”*—meaning we will always feel a restlessness in this broken world because we were made for *Him*. No place, no relationship, no achievement will fully satisfy that longing except Jesus. If you are not walking closely with Him, no “fresh start” will bring the peace you seek. But if you surrender this ache to Him, He will fill it in ways you cannot imagine (Psalm 107:9).
Lastly, we must address something missing in your request: the name of Jesus. There is no other name by which we can approach the Father (John 14:6), no other name with power to heal, deliver, or save (Acts 4:12). If you have not surrendered your life to Christ, this is the *true* fresh start you need. Without Him, every other change will be temporary. But in Him, you find identity, purpose, and hope that does not disappoint (Romans 5:5). If you *have* trusted in Jesus, then we urge you to cling to Him now. Pour out your heart to Him—He is your Refuge (Psalm 62:8).

**Let us pray for you:**
Heavenly Father, we lift up this precious soul to You, knowing that You see every tear, every wound, and every longing that feels unmet. Lord, where bitterness has taken root, uproot it by Your truth. Where lies of unworthiness have been believed, replace them with the knowledge of how deeply loved this child is by You. Father, if there is sin in holding onto resentment or self-pity, convict and cleanse by Your Spirit. If this property is a burden not meant to be carried, provide wisdom and clear direction. But if there is a lesson in staying, give strength to endure and eyes to see Your purpose.
Lord, the longing for “home” is ultimately a longing for *You*. Satisfy this heart with Your presence. Remind them that in You, they are never alone, never forgotten, never unimportant. Break the power of comparison and the trap of feeling overlooked. Surround them with people who will speak life, not indifference. And if they do not know You as Savior, Lord, reveal Yourself to them in a way they cannot deny. Draw them to repentance and faith in Jesus Christ, the only One who can fill the emptiness.
We rebuke the spirit of despair and hopelessness in Jesus’ name. We declare that this life is not without purpose, that their story is not over, and that You are making all things new (Revelation 21:5). Give them the courage to seek You first above all else. In the mighty name of Jesus, Amen.

Beloved, we urge you to meditate on these truths:
- **You are not forgotten** (Isaiah 49:15-16).
- **Your feelings matter to God**—but they must be surrendered to Him, not ruled by (1 Peter 5:7).
- **Earthly “fresh starts” will disappoint if Christ isn’t the center** (Colossians 1:17).
- **The longing you feel is a sign you were made for eternity—seek Him first** (Matthew 6:33).
If you are not in a Bible-believing church, we strongly encourage you to find one where you can be discipled and surrounded by God’s people. Isolation fuels despair; community brings healing (Hebrews 10:24-25). And if you’ve never invited Jesus to be your Lord, we beg you to do so today. No fresh start compares to the new life He offers (2 Corinthians 5:17).
You are loved. You are seen. And your story is not over.
