Sad

[Struedoinmen]

I am scared to go on my trip. It is stressful. No one understands me. They think I ask too many questions. They refuse to accept my OCD and make things easier for me. Everyone stays mad at me when I speak up. Why am I being punished? I have no where no go. No one wants me or cares about me. I don’t have anything to be here for if it is just going to hurt like this. I don’t want to be alone, but no one wants me or cares if I am alive or dead. I get mistreated, and no one wants to be accepting, loving, or kind. I hope I never have to ask them for help. Why am I so unlucky in love?

We hear the deep pain and loneliness in your words, and our hearts ache with you. You are not alone in feeling this way, though it may seem that no one understands. The weight of rejection, misunderstanding, and the struggle with OCD is heavy, and we want you to know that God sees every tear and hears every unspoken cry of your heart. The Bible tells us in Psalm 34:18, "Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit." You are not forgotten, and you are not being punished, God allows trials, but He also promises to walk through them with us.

First, we must address the despair in your words. Thoughts of not wanting to be here or feeling as though no one cares are lies from the enemy, who seeks to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10). But Jesus came so that you might have life, and have it abundantly. If you are feeling overwhelmed by these thoughts, please reach out to someone you trust or a professional who can help you carry this burden. You are precious in God’s sight, and He has a purpose for you, even when it feels hidden.

Your struggle with OCD is real, and it is not something you should have to face alone. The people in your life may not understand, but that does not mean you are unworthy of patience, kindness, or accommodation. We pray that God would soften their hearts and open their eyes to see your needs. In 1 Corinthians 12:22-23, Scripture reminds us that "those parts of the body which seem to be weaker are necessary. Those parts of the body which we think to be less honorable, on those we bestow more abundant honor." You are not a burden, you are a child of God, fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14).

As for your trip, we understand the fear and stress it brings. Anxiety can make even small tasks feel overwhelming, but we serve a God who calms the storm. Philippians 4:6-7 says, "In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus." We pray that God would go before you on this trip, giving you strength for each moment and surrounding you with His peace.

Your feelings of being unlucky in love are also heavy, but we want to gently remind you that God’s timing and ways are perfect. If you are seeking a spouse, we encourage you to pray for a godly man who will love you as Christ loves the church (Ephesians 5:25). Until then, guard your heart and honor God with your body, for intimacy is reserved for marriage alone. The right person will not make you feel unwanted or unworthy, they will reflect Christ’s love to you.

We also want to address the isolation you feel. It is not God’s design for you to walk through life alone. Even if those around you have failed you, Jesus never will. He calls you His friend (John 15:15), and He promises never to leave you nor forsake you (Hebrews 13:5). We pray that God would bring people into your life who will show you the love and acceptance you crave, people who will listen, understand, and walk alongside you.

Let us pray for you now:

Heavenly Father, we come before You with heavy hearts, lifting up this precious child of Yours. Lord, You see the pain, the loneliness, and the fear that weighs so heavily on them. We ask that You would draw near to them, wrapping them in Your love and reminding them that they are never alone. Father, we rebuke the lies of the enemy that tell them they are unwanted, unworthy, or a burden. Your Word says that You have plans for them, plans for good and not for harm, to give them a future and a hope (Jeremiah 29:11). Help them to cling to that truth.

Lord, we ask for Your peace to guard their heart and mind as they prepare for this trip. Calm their anxieties and replace their fear with Your perfect love, which casts out all fear (1 John 4:18). Give them strength for each day and remind them that You are their refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1).

Father, we pray for those in their life who have failed to show understanding or kindness. Soften their hearts, Lord, and help them to see the value in this child of Yours. Raise up godly friendships and relationships that will reflect Your love and acceptance. If they are seeking a spouse, we ask that You would prepare their heart and the heart of the one You have for them, that they may come together in a marriage that honors You.

Lord, we also pray for healing, healing from the wounds of rejection, misunderstanding, and mistreatment. Pour out Your comfort and restore their hope. Remind them that their worth is found in You alone, and that You delight in them (Zephaniah 3:17). Help them to see themselves through Your eyes, as a beloved child, fearfully and wonderfully made.

Finally, Lord, we ask that You would fill them with Your Holy Spirit, giving them the strength to persevere and the faith to trust in Your goodness, even when life feels unbearable. Surround them with Your presence, and let them feel Your love in tangible ways. We ask all of this in the mighty name of Jesus, the One who came to bind up the brokenhearted and set the captives free. Amen.

You are not being punished, you are being refined. The trials you face are not a sign of God’s absence, but an opportunity for His strength to be made perfect in your weakness (2 Corinthians 12:9). Keep pressing into Him, even when it feels impossible. He is your hope, your refuge, and your ever-present help. If you do not yet know Jesus as your Lord and Savior, we encourage you to surrender your life to Him. Romans 10:9 says, "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." There is no greater love than His, and no greater peace than the peace He offers. You are seen, you are loved, and you are never alone.

If you are in immediate danger, please reach out to your local emergency services right now. Free, confidential support is also available at findahelpline.com, where you can find a helpline in your country. You do not have to face this alone, trained people are ready to listen.

We hear the weight you are carrying. Feeling scared, misunderstood, and completely alone can be excruciating, especially when the people around you don’t seem to grasp how hard you are working just to manage each day. When OCD is part of that picture, it can make everything more intense and isolating, and it is deeply painful when others dismiss something so real and exhausting. You are not being punished; you are struggling with a genuine, treatable condition, and that is not your fault.

A practical step that can make a real difference is to talk with a doctor or a counselor who truly understands anxiety and OCD. There are effective therapies and, for some, medications that relieve the relentless pressure. A professional can also help your loved ones learn what OCD actually is so they can become more supportive rather than frustrated. You deserve that kind of help, and seeking it is a brave, hopeful move, not a sign of weakness.

Even when it feels like no one cares, you matter. We care, and God’s care for you does not depend on how others treat you. You are seen, and you are loved exactly as you are.

Lord Jesus, please draw near to this person in the heaviness they feel. Quiet their racing mind, soothe their fear about the trip, and bring wise, compassionate people into their life who will truly understand and walk alongside them. Give them the courage to get good help and the comfort of knowing they are never forsaken. Amen.

[Spurgeon]

You speak of being alone, misunderstood, and full of fears; let me point you to One who knew the depths of such sorrow far better than you or I ever shall. Our blessed Lord Jesus, in the hour of His greatest need, was left alone, His disciples forsook Him and fled. He was alone just when, as Man, He most required human sympathy. Yet He endured that loneliness, surrendering Himself deliberately, that you might never be truly alone. If you are a believer, even when every earthly friend deserts you, the Saviour stands beside you, saying, “I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.”

Your heart cries, “Why am I being punished?” but the Lord does not afflict willingly nor grieve the children of men. The trials you face, the OCD that others refuse to understand, the sharp words, the rejection, these are not the rod of an angry judge, but often the chisel of the heavenly Sculptor shaping you into the image of Christ. Remember Jacob in his fear of Esau; his terror was needless, for God had already promised to bless him. So it may be with you; grace and fear are battling in your soul, but the promise of God stands sure.

You say, “No one wants me or cares if I am alive or dead.” That is a false conclusion drawn from the sight of your eyes. Look now to the cross. There you see how much the Son of God desired you, for He counted not His life dear unto Himself, but gave it for you. You are not unlucky in love; you are the object of an everlasting love that will not let you go. Human affection often falters and wounds, but the love of Christ is constant, tender, and all-sufficient. If you know His forgiveness, then you will begin to fear Him with a holy reverence, and that fear drives out all other fears.

Now, listen again to the command that runs through the Scriptures: “Fear not.” It is not a suggestion but a precept. To give way to despair and terror dishonours God, for it questions His faithfulness and power. You are like a little worm, yet He says, “Fear not, thou worm Jacob; I will help thee.” You need not fear the journey before you, for He goes with you. You need not fear men, for their breath is in their nostrils. You need not fear death itself, for Christ has conquered it sweetly on your behalf.

Cast your care upon Him. Pour out your heart before His mercy-seat. Ask Him to grant you such a sense of His presence that the strife of tongues and the coldness of companions will lose their sting. And while you wait for others to show you kindness, resolve in His strength to show kindness yourself; it is more blessed to give than to receive. The way through this wilderness is often thorny, but the end is glory, and every tear shall be wiped away. Take courage, then, and in quietness and confidence lean upon your Lord. He will bring you safely home.
