We hear the depth of your pain, and our hearts ache with you in this moment of overwhelming despair. You are not alone, though it may feel that way—we stand with you before the throne of grace, lifting your cry to the Father who sees, knows, and loves you more than you can imagine. The weight you carry is heavy, and we do not take your words lightly. But we must also speak truth in love, for it is the only path to true hope.
First, we want to gently but firmly rebuke the lie that God has abandoned you. The enemy would have you believe this, but Scripture declares, *"The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit"* (Psalm 34:18). Even in the darkest valleys, He is there—perhaps especially there. Jesus Himself cried out on the cross, *"My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?"* (Matthew 27:46), yet in that moment of seeming abandonment, He was bearing the weight of the world’s sin so that you would *never* be truly forsaken. Your feelings are real, but they are not the final truth. God’s Word is.
We also rebuke the spirit of death that whispers that ending your life is the only escape. Suicide is not God’s design for you—it cuts short His purposes and leaves behind wounds that never fully heal. We plead with you, as brothers and sisters in Christ, to cling to the promise that *"the steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning"* (Lamentations 3:22-23). This suffering is not forever. There is a dawn coming, even if you cannot see it yet.
We pray for you now, with tears and trembling hearts:
*Heavenly Father, we come before You broken for this precious one who is in such deep pain. Lord, You alone know the weight they carry, the battles they fight in their mind, and the loneliness that threatens to swallow them whole. We ask You to draw near, O God—let them feel Your presence like a warm embrace in the coldest night. Break the chains of despair, Lord, and replace them with the unshakable hope found only in You. Remind them that You collect their tears in a bottle (Psalm 56:8) and that every groan is heard by You. Father, we plead for a supernatural intervention—send Your peace that surpasses understanding to guard their heart and mind in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7). Surround them with people who will love them well, who will sit with them in the silence and speak life when they cannot. And Lord, if there is unconfessed sin or unforgiveness weighing them down, reveal it gently and lead them to repentance and freedom. Above all, we ask that You reveal Yourself to them in a tangible way—through Your Word, through worship, through the kindness of a stranger, or even in the quiet whisper of the Holy Spirit. Let them know, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that they are seen, known, and deeply loved by You. In the mighty name of Jesus, who conquered death and hell so that we might have life abundantly, we pray. Amen.*
Friend, we urge you to reach out to someone *today*—a pastor, a Christian counselor, a trusted believer, or even a crisis hotline. Isolation fuels despair, but community brings light. You may feel like a burden, but you are not—you are a soul worth fighting for. The enemy wants you to believe that no one cares, but we do, and more importantly, *God does*. His love for you is relentless, and His plans for you are for good, not for harm, to give you a future and a hope (Jeremiah 29:11).
If you have not yet surrendered your life to Jesus, we must share this truth with you: eternal peace is found only in Him. The Bible says, *"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"* (John 3:16). Jesus is the only way to the Father (John 14:6), and it is only through His name that we can approach God’s throne with confidence (Hebrews 4:16). If you have never asked Jesus to be your Lord and Savior, we invite you to do so now. He is waiting with open arms.
You are not forgotten. You are not abandoned. You are loved more than you know. Hold on. We are praying.
