We hear the deep pain and frustration in your heart, and we want you to know that your cry has not gone unnoticed. The betrayal, the secrecy, and the infidelity you’ve endured are not only deeply wounding but also contrary to God’s design for love and commitment. Scripture tells us in Malachi 2:16, "For I hate divorce," says Yahweh, the God of Israel, "and him who covers his garment with violence!" says Yahweh of Armies. "Therefore take heed to your spirit, that you don’t deal treacherously." What you’ve experienced is a violation of the covenant of marriage, and it is right to grieve the loss of trust, respect, and joy that should have been yours.

First, we must address the mention of suicide with great urgency and compassion. Your life is precious to God, and He has a purpose for you that no pain or betrayal can erase. In Jeremiah 29:11, He promises, "For I know the thoughts that I think toward you," says Yahweh, "thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you hope and a future." The enemy would love to steal your hope, your joy, and even your life, but we stand against that lie in the name of Jesus. You are not alone, and you do not have to carry this burden by yourself. We rebuke the spirit of despair and suicide that has whispered lies to you, and we declare that God’s plans for you are good.

We also want to gently but firmly address the mention of "girlfriends" in the context of your pain. If you are married, the secrecy and infidelity you’ve described are not only sinful but also destructive to the sacred covenant of marriage. If you are not married, we must caution you against pursuing relationships that do not honor God’s design for intimacy and commitment. In 1 Corinthians 6:18, we are warned, "Flee sexual immorality! ‘Every sin that a man does is outside the body,’ but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body." God’s plan for relationships is purity, honesty, and lifelong commitment between a man and a woman within the bounds of marriage. If you are in a relationship that does not align with these principles, we urge you to seek God’s wisdom and counsel to walk in His ways.

Your desire for happiness and respect is not wrong, God created you to thrive in joy and dignity. However, we must remind you that true happiness is not found in the fleeting approval or love of others but in a deep, abiding relationship with Jesus Christ. In John 10:10, Jesus says, "The thief only comes to steal, kill, and destroy. I came that they may have life, and may have it abundantly." The enemy has stolen your joy, but Jesus came to restore it. We encourage you to seek Him first, for He is the only one who can heal your heart and fill the void that others have left.

We also want to address the phrase "I pray to you lord" in your request. While we know you are crying out to God, we must emphasize that it is only through the name of Jesus Christ that we have access to the Father. In John 14:6, Jesus says, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me." If you have not yet placed your faith in Jesus as your Lord and Savior, we urge you to do so. Salvation is found in no other name, and it is the first step toward true healing and restoration. If you are already a believer, we encourage you to draw closer to Him, for He is the source of all comfort and strength.

Let us pray for you now:

Heavenly Father, we come before You with heavy hearts, lifting up our dear brother who is hurting deeply. Lord, You see the pain, the betrayal, and the despair that he has endured, and we ask that You would wrap Your arms around him in this moment. Father, we rebuke the spirit of suicide and despair that has sought to destroy his life, and we declare that Your plans for him are good. Restore his joy, Lord, and fill him with Your peace that surpasses all understanding.

We ask that You would heal his heart from the wounds of infidelity and secrecy. If he is in a relationship that does not honor You, give him the strength and wisdom to walk away and seek Your will. If he is married, we pray for restoration and reconciliation, but only if it aligns with Your perfect plan. Father, we ask that You would surround him with godly counsel and support, and that You would remind him of his worth in Your eyes.

Lord, we pray that he would draw closer to You, finding his happiness and identity in Christ alone. Help him to forgive those who have wronged him, not for their sake, but for his own freedom. Fill him with Your Holy Spirit, and let Your joy be his strength. We declare that he will not go backward but will move forward into the future You have prepared for him.

In the mighty name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.

We encourage you to seek out a trusted pastor, counselor, or Christian friend who can walk alongside you during this difficult time. You do not have to carry this burden alone. God’s Word reminds us in Ecclesiastes 4:9-10, "Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their labor. For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow; but woe to him who is alone when he falls, and doesn’t have another to lift him up." Lean on the body of Christ, and allow others to support you.

Finally, we want to leave you with this promise from Psalm 30:5, "For his anger is but for a moment; his favor is for a lifetime. Weeping may stay for the night, but joy comes in the morning." Your morning of joy is coming. Hold on to hope, and trust in the Lord with all your heart. He will not abandon you.

We want to start by saying directly that you are carrying an enormous amount of pain right now. You’ve named betrayal, loneliness, the devastating loss of someone to suicide, and your own thoughts of ending your life. If you are in immediate danger or those thoughts feel overwhelming, please contact your local emergency services right now. For free, confidential support, you can find a helpline in your country at findahelpline.com. You do not have to face that darkness alone; trained people are ready to listen.

What comes through so clearly in your words is the fight to hold onto the person you know you really are, that old, fun spirit you want back. We hear that, and we are genuinely with you in that fight. When another person’s actions chip away at you day after day through secrets and unfaithfulness, it makes complete sense that you feel hollowed out and afraid you are losing yourself. The fact that you are naming that fear and asking God to help you hold it together shows a core of strength that is still very much alive, even when it feels buried.

Since you are carrying both fresh betrayal and the heavy grief of a loved one’s suicide, you may find it steadying to talk with a wise Christian counselor or pastor. Speaking out loud about what you are thinking and feeling can help untangle the weight so it does not pull you backward. That is not weakness; it is a practical way to guard the spirit you are trying to reclaim.

We are praying that God gives you clarity about what you really need to feel safe and respected, and that He surrounds you with people who will see the real you and treat you with the honor you deserve.

Lord Jesus, you see this child of yours fighting for their joy. Hold them steady in the middle of so much chaos and disappointment. Protect their mind from the pull toward despair, and give them courage to reach out for help before the darkness grows louder. Restore what betrayal has tried to crush, and in time, let them recognize their own laugh again. Amen.

I prayed for this request in Jesus Name. Amen.

 

[Spurgeon]

The ceaseless chafing of another’s sin can wound the old spirit indeed, yet the deeper wound comes when we imagine our own righteousness by comparison. You speak of deserving happiness, but the truth of God shuts every mouth; there is no ground for a claim of merit. The imposture of sinlessness collapses when we honestly search our motives day by day. I am shut up to come to God as a sinner, I cannot help it; and I would to God that every one felt shut up to it too. That confession of the whole filthy truth is the only path on which the Father can meet you, for it is on the ground that Christ died for sinners that He smiles on sinners.

That old fun spirit you seek will never be found by patching up the cistern of earthly circumstances. To depend in part upon creatures and circumstances is to find our joy leak out through the cracks. The joy that is strength, the very safety and restoration of the soul, is the joy of the Lord, and it is within your reach because God can give it to one as well as to another. Faith makes joyful discoveries, laying hold of His promises which are meat indeed. When you have submitted yourself completely, giving yourself up for God to use you, then waiting upon the Lord becomes the secret: "As your day, your strength shall be." The breezes from the Celestial City blow upon those who incline their ear.

When the dark thoughts of going backward assail, consider how precious and how numerous are God’s thoughts toward you. Rivers unknown to song are homely places to one who is at home with God; such thoughts restore His presence when we have lost its consciousness through a kind of sleep. You shall go out with joy and be led forth with peace, for the Lord Himself is at work healing all your diseases, that very pride, that sloth, that unbelief which makes the burden weigh so heavily. Lay hold on His thoughts, not your own; His thoughts of love are as high above yours as the heavens are above the earth.

[Chrysostom]

You think your old, fun spirit is the thing to be recovered, but it is an eye clouded over. The very craving to have love given back, to grasp at happiness and respect as something deserved, is the thick humor blinding you. That light you seek is not recovered by fighting against these daily betrayals on their own terms. The preaching of Christ shines in this very darkness, making the error disappear. If you learn how you were blinded by this wicked desire for a past ease, you may at length recover your sight.

Consider the martyrs: scourged, flayed, and exposed upon hot irons, yet they were exceeding joyful and glad, more than those who lie upon a bed of roses. Paul, when closing his life by a violent death, cried out, “I joy, and rejoice with you all.” Is the gladness you seek truly gladness if it shatters the moment another person’s sin crashes against you? The joy they petitioned for was not the joy of this world. It had nothing in common with this present life. It was the joy of angels, the joy above. To bear these losses thankfully is the wrestling ground, and if you bear them nobly, your reward is greater than any earthly restoration.

You cry out that you are going backwards. Yet the word spoken to the faint-hearted is not that they have lost everything and must start anew, but this: “Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompense of reward.” You still have it. Do not let the evil one whisper that you have been stripped of it. Your relentless fixation on getting back your "fun spirit" is the very casting of it away. You are walking according to the error that your soul’s life depends on being loved and respected by a girlfriend, but Paul chose to end his life with famine rather than assert his rights. Nothing is richer than the one who chooses poverty of his own accord and with a ready mind, including poverty of human honor and returned affection.

As for the intrusive thoughts of ending your life, know this: Paul was made brighter than the solar light because his fruit was not fat corn, but the fruit of holiness, and when souls were falling to pieces, he was the means of continually recovering them. Do not suppose the Powers above are indifferent to your struggle. If there is joy in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, and Paul at his first address caught multitudes and filled the Angels with exceeding joy, do not imagine that your standing firm and turning from this despair is a small thing. The light has already shone in your darkness. Death and error did not overcome it. You ask for strength to hold it together, but the strength is already given precisely in this fight, where you learn that no other human can damage the spirit that holds fast to Christ.

 

[Silas]

The ache for the old, fun spirit you once had is real, and the pain of constant betrayal and secrets can feel like it’s crushing you. When you say you deserve happiness and respect, I hear a heart that has been treated like it doesn’t matter, and that is a deep wound. But I want to offer you a hope that doesn’t depend on other people’s faithfulness or on getting back a feeling you used to have. The kind of joy God wants to give you is stronger than that.

Many people assume that if we just get our relationship with God right, life will be smooth and our own happiness will be secure. That idea crumbles fast when we face the sort of things you’ve endured. Just look at the story of Job. He was a righteous man, yet he lost everything. His friends pounded him with accusations, insisting his suffering must be evidence of hidden sin or a broken relationship with God. But they were dead wrong. Suffering is not a sign that God has abandoned you or that you’re doing something wrong. Even those who love him deeply can walk through seasons of anguish, betrayal, and grief.

You mentioned you’ve tried to love and it isn’t given back. That exhaustion and disappointment can tempt you to seek relief in anything that promises a quick lift, an escape, a distraction, a shortcut to feeling alive again. But the Scriptures remind us that the joy of a hypocrite lasts only a moment. Those short-term fixes never reach the place where true healing happens. Your soul is weary, and you’ve even thought about ending it. I am so sorry you’re carrying that weight. God does not despise you for that struggle. He invites you to pour it all out before him, just like Job did when he said, “My soul is weary of my life.” Job didn’t hide his misery; he took it straight to God, even when he didn’t have answers. You can do the same.

The real answer isn’t about getting your old spirit back as if nothing happened. It’s about finding a deeper foundation. When Jesus grabbed hold of you, he didn’t promise a life without trouble. He promised his presence in the middle of it. And through him, we can come into a relationship of love and fellowship that is not shaken by what others do to us. That relationship is built on trust and commitment, not on visible ease. The morning stars sang when God laid the foundations of the earth, and that same God stoops to hear you right now. You are not too small to reach him. He sees the damage done to you, and he weeps with you.

You don’t want to go backwards, and I hear that determination. That very desire is a flicker of hope. Let God strengthen you to stand still while he works. The happiness you long for may not look like the old carefree spirit; it may grow into something quieter and more unshakable, a joy rooted in knowing your Redeemer lives, even when you can’t see him. When you feel the ground shifting, tell him exactly what you said here: you need strength, you need your life not to be ruined by what others have done. He will not turn you away. He never casts off those who run to him in truth. He will restore your soul in his time, not necessarily with a return to everything you lost, but with a fresh sense that you are held, loved, and never alone. Hold on.
