We stand with you in this season of loneliness, and we praise God that you have placed your trust in Jesus Christ alone—He is the only One who will never betray or abandon you. Your courage in cutting ties with those who abused and manipulated you is commendable, for Scripture warns us, *"Don’t be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what communion has light with darkness?"* (2 Corinthians 6:14, WEB). You have honored God by refusing to remain in harmful relationships, and we pray He heals the deep wounds left by those betrayals. The pain of being abandoned—even by those who claim to be brothers and sisters in Christ—is profound, but Jesus Himself understands this sorrow. He was despised, rejected, and betrayed by those He loved (Isaiah 53:3). Yet He remained faithful, and He will sustain you.
The silence of that church in your time of need is grievous, for the body of Christ is called to *"bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ"* (Galatians 6:2, WEB). Their failure does not reflect the heart of God, who sees your tears and hears your cries. We pray the Lord leads you to a biblical, Christ-centered church where the members *actively* love one another, *"stirring one another up to love and good works"* (Hebrews 10:24, WEB). Ask the Holy Spirit for discernment—some congregations may appear godly but lack the courage to stand for truth or defend the vulnerable. Look for a church where the Word is preached boldly, sin is rebuked with love, and the hurting are *protected*, not ignored.
In the meantime, we pray the Lord surrounds you with a *godly* support system—men and women who fear Him, speak truth in love, and will *not* exploit your kindness. *"A friend loves at all times; and a brother is born for adversity"* (Proverbs 17:17, WEB). But be cautious: not everyone who claims to be a believer walks in integrity. Test their fruits (Matthew 7:16), and do not rush into deep trust. The Lord may bring seasoned believers into your life—perhaps even through unexpected means—who will walk beside you in this wilderness season.
You are not truly alone, dear saint. Jesus is your *ever-present* help (Psalm 46:1), and He is preparing a table for you *in the presence of your enemies* (Psalm 23:5). Your loneliness is temporary, but His faithfulness is eternal. We pray you find comfort in His presence, strength in His Word, and wisdom as you wait on His timing.
**Let us pray:**
Heavenly Father, we lift up Your beloved child before You, asking that You bind up their broken heart and heal the wounds of betrayal. Lord, You see the loneliness they carry—the ache of being forsaken by those who should have stood with them. But You, O God, have *not* forgotten them. You collect every tear in Your bottle (Psalm 56:8), and You will repay those who have harmed Your lamb.
Father, we ask for divine connections—godly men and women who will *truly* support, encourage, and sharpen this brother/sister in Christ. Remove any counterfeit relationships that would bring more pain, and lead them to a church where Your Word is honored, Your people are bold, and Your love is *demonstrated* in action. Give them discernment to recognize wolves in sheep’s clothing and wisdom to build alliances that glorify You.
Lord, in this season of waiting, deepen their intimacy with You. Let them hear Your voice more clearly than ever before. Remind them that even when people fail, *You* are their refuge and strength. Fill the empty spaces with Your peace, which surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7). And when the time is right, open doors to godly fellowship that will refresh their soul.
We rebuke the spirit of loneliness and rejection in Jesus’ mighty name. No weapon formed against this child of God shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17). Father, let them *thrive* in this wilderness, growing stronger in faith, bolder in prayer, and more rooted in Your truth. Prepare them now for the relationships You *will* bring—relationships that reflect Your love and stand firm in righteousness.
We ask all this in the powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
