We come before the Lord with heavy hearts, grieved by the words you have spoken, for they reveal a spirit deeply wounded and ensnared by lies that stand in stark opposition to the truth of God’s Word. The enemy has twisted your perception, and we must address this with urgency, love, and the unshakable truth of Scripture. Your words echo the despair of one who has been deceived into believing that God’s Word is a curse rather than the very breath of life, the foundation of all wisdom, and the path to eternal salvation.
First, let us be clear: the Bible is not the source of your suffering—sin and the deception of the enemy are. The Word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart (Hebrews 4:12). It is not a tool of oppression but of liberation, not a bringer of madness but of peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7). The Bible exposes the darkness within us so that we may turn to Christ, who alone can heal and redeem. Your anger and despair are not evidence of the Bible’s failure but of the war being waged for your soul. The enemy seeks to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10), and he has led you to blame God for the very brokenness that Christ came to mend.
You speak of poverty, madness, and oppression as if they are the fruits of reading Scripture, but this is a lie. The Bible teaches that God is the giver of every good and perfect gift (James 1:17). Poverty of spirit—recognizing our need for God—is a blessing, for it leads us to depend on Him (Matthew 5:3). Madness is not from God but from the rejection of His truth (Romans 1:28). Oppression is the work of the evil one, whom Christ came to defeat (1 John 3:8). The Bible does not call us to waste our resources on "charity, dumb people, and the voice of the masses" but to steward what God has given us wisely, with generosity and love (2 Corinthians 9:7, 1 Timothy 6:17-19). If you have felt compelled to give in ways that brought harm rather than blessing, that is not the leading of the Holy Spirit but the distortion of truth by the enemy or your own misunderstanding.
Your words about suicide and murder are deeply troubling. Life is a sacred gift from God, and to speak of taking it—whether your own or others’—is to align yourself with the destroyer, not the Creator. The Bible warns that the thief (Satan) comes only to steal, kill, and destroy, but Jesus came that we may have life and have it abundantly (John 10:10). Suicide is not the answer to pain; it is the ultimate rejection of God’s promise to redeem and restore. Murder is an abomination in His sight (Exodus 20:13). If these thoughts have taken root in your mind, they are not from God but from the father of lies (John 8:44). We rebuked these thoughts in the name of Jesus and command them to flee from you. You are not beyond hope, and your life has purpose in Christ.
You claim that those who have never read the Bible are "stronger in faith" than those who have, but this is another deception. Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God (Romans 10:17). How can one have faith in Christ if they do not know Him? The Bible is the revelation of God’s character, His plan for salvation, and His promises to His people. To reject it is to reject the very foundation of our faith. The "faith" of those who do not know God is not faith at all but ignorance. True faith is rooted in the knowledge of who God is and what He has done for us through Jesus Christ.
You also speak of money as if it could grant the miracles you seek, but money is a temporary and unreliable master (Matthew 6:24). The miracles you need—healing, peace, restoration—are found in Christ alone, not in wealth. The Bible warns that the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil (1 Timothy 6:10), and those who trust in riches will fall (Proverbs 11:28). God is not a cosmic vending machine who dispenses blessings in exchange for our good works or donations. He is a loving Father who gives according to His wisdom and for our eternal good (Romans 8:28).
Most alarmingly, you have invoked the name of Jesus while speaking words of cursing and death. This is a dangerous contradiction. The name of Jesus is not to be used lightly or in vain (Exodus 20:7). It is the name above all names, the name by which we are saved (Acts 4:12), and the name at which every knee will bow (Philippians 2:10). To use His name while wishing for death and destruction is to invite the discipline of the Lord, for He is holy and just. We urge you to repent of this immediately. The Lord is merciful and longs to forgive, but He will not be mocked (Galatians 6:7).
Now, let us address the root of your pain: you have been deceived into believing that God is the author of your suffering. This could not be further from the truth. God is love (1 John 4:8), and His desire is to draw you to Himself, to heal your brokenness, and to give you a future and a hope (Jeremiah 29:11). The suffering you experience is the result of living in a fallen world, where sin has corrupted all things. But Christ has overcome the world (John 16:33), and in Him, we find victory over sin, death, and the lies of the enemy.
We do not know what specific circumstances have led you to this place of despair, but we know that God sees you, loves you, and is calling you to turn to Him. Your anger is real, and your pain is valid, but they must be brought to the foot of the cross. Jesus bore your sins, your shame, and your suffering on that cross so that you might have life. He understands your pain because He Himself was despised and rejected, a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief (Isaiah 53:3). He is not distant from your suffering; He is in the midst of it, reaching out His hand to lift you up.
Let us pray for you now with the authority and love of Christ:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with broken hearts, lifting up this beloved soul who is ensnared by lies and drowning in despair. Lord, we rebuked every spirit of deception, confusion, and death that has taken hold of their mind and heart. We command these spirits to flee in the name of Jesus Christ, for no weapon formed against Your child shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17). Father, open their eyes to see the truth: that You are good, that Your Word is life, and that Your plans for them are for welfare and not for evil, to give them a future and a hope (Jeremiah 29:11).
Lord, we ask that You break the chains of bitterness and anger that have bound them. Soften their heart, Lord, and draw them to Yourself. Let them encounter Your love in a way they cannot deny. Remind them that You are close to the brokenhearted and save those who are crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18). Father, we ask for a supernatural intervention in their life—send Your angels to minister to them, send Your people to encourage them, and send Your Holy Spirit to convict and comfort them.
We pray that You would restore their mind, Lord. Replace the lies they have believed with Your truth. Let them know that You are not the author of their pain but the healer of it. Remind them that Your yoke is easy and Your burden is light (Matthew 11:30), and that in You, they can find rest for their soul. Father, we ask that You would surround them with Your peace, which surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7), and guard their heart and mind in Christ Jesus.
Lord, we also pray for protection over their life. The enemy seeks to destroy them, but You, Lord, are their shield and their strong tower (Psalm 18:2). We ask that You would place a hedge of protection around them and prevent them from acting on the destructive thoughts that have plagued their mind. Give them the strength to resist the enemy and to stand firm in Your truth.
Father, we ask that You would reveal to them the hope of the gospel. Remind them that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us (Romans 5:8). Let them know that no matter how far they have fallen, Your grace is sufficient, and Your mercy is new every morning (Lamentations 3:22-23). Lord, we pray that they would turn to You in repentance and receive the forgiveness and healing that only You can provide.
We declare that the blood of Jesus covers them and that they are redeemed by Your precious blood, Lord. We speak life over them, hope over them, and restoration over them. Let them know that You have not forgotten them, that You see their pain, and that You are working all things together for their good (Romans 8:28).
In the mighty and holy name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.
Now, we urge you to take these steps in obedience to God’s Word:
1. **Repent and Turn to Christ**: Your words have been filled with bitterness, anger, and blasphemy. Repentance is not just feeling sorry; it is turning away from sin and turning to God. Confess your sins to Him, ask for His forgiveness, and surrender your life to Jesus Christ. There is no other name by which you can be saved (Acts 4:12). If you have never truly given your life to Christ, do so now. Believe in Him, confess Him as Lord, and you will be saved (Romans 10:9).
2. **Renounce the Lies**: The lies you have believed—that God’s Word is a curse, that life is not worth living, that the Bible brings madness—must be renounced. Speak aloud: "I renounce these lies in the name of Jesus. I choose to believe the truth of God’s Word." The enemy flees when we resist him in the name of Jesus (James 4:7).
3. **Immerse Yourself in Scripture**: You have been deceived into thinking the Bible is the source of your pain, but it is the antidote. Start by reading the Gospels—Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John—to see the love and compassion of Jesus. Read Psalms to find comfort in God’s presence. Let the Word of God wash over you and renew your mind (Romans 12:2).
4. **Seek Godly Counsel**: You are not meant to walk this path alone. Find a mature believer, a pastor, or a biblical counselor who can walk with you, pray with you, and help you navigate the truths of Scripture. Isolation is a breeding ground for deception; community is where truth is lived out.
5. **Guard Your Heart and Mind**: Be vigilant about what you allow into your mind. Avoid anything that feeds your despair—whether it be music, media, or even certain relationships. Fill your mind with things that are true, honorable, just, pure, lovely, and commendable (Philippians 4:8).
6. **Pray Without Ceasing**: Prayer is not a waste of time; it is communication with the Creator of the universe. Pour out your heart to Him, but also listen. Let Him speak to you through His Word and His Spirit. Prayer is not about changing God’s mind but aligning your heart with His will.
7. **Serve Others**: One of the greatest antidotes to self-focused despair is to serve others. Look for ways to bless those around you, even in small ways. As you give, you will find that God fills you with His joy and purpose.
Finally, we leave you with this promise from God’s Word:
*"For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope. Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will hear you. You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart."* (Jeremiah 29:11-13)
God is not your enemy. He is your Father, your Redeemer, and your Hope. Turn to Him today, and let Him restore what has been broken. The lies you have believed are powerful, but the truth of God is more powerful. Choose truth. Choose life. Choose Jesus.
