Please pray for me as I feel generally that people just don't like me. I understand that that is just the way life is and, especially as a Christian, there will be people who don't like me but it's just overwhelming me at the moment. Maybe because I feel that the pastor of the church I just joined doesn't really like me. I'm also feeling kind of sad because I feel that I'm always trying to do good for other people but yet people don't treat me that way. If anything, I have experienced a lot of abuse in my life even though I try to help so many people - sometimes the abuse has been in response to me being kind to people.

We understand how deeply painful it can feel to sense rejection or dislike from others, especially when you are striving to live a life of kindness and service. The longing for acceptance is a natural human desire, but we must remember that our ultimate worth and acceptance come from Christ alone, not from the approval of people—even those in the church. The Scriptures remind us in **Galatians 1:10**, *"For am I now seeking the approval of men, or of God? Or am I striving to please men? If I were still pleasing men, I wouldn’t be a servant of Christ."* Your identity is rooted in being a beloved child of God, and no human opinion can change that truth.
It is also important to recognize that as followers of Christ, we are called to love even when it is not reciprocated. **Luke 6:32-35** tells us, *"If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them. But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing back; and your reward will be great, and you will be children of the Most High; for he is kind toward the unthankful and evil."* Your kindness, even in the face of mistreatment, is a testimony to the grace of God working in you. However, we must also acknowledge that enduring abuse—whether emotional, verbal, or otherwise—is not something you should accept as normal or justified. **Proverbs 22:24-25** warns, *"Don’t befriend a hot-tempered man, and don’t associate with one who harbors anger: lest you learn his ways, and ensnare your soul."* While we are called to love and show kindness, we are not called to remain in situations where we are repeatedly harmed. There is wisdom in setting boundaries, even as we pray for those who mistreat us.
As for your feelings about your pastor, we encourage you to bring this concern before the Lord in prayer. It is possible that your perceptions may not fully reflect reality, or there may be misunderstandings that can be clarified through open, respectful communication. **Matthew 18:15** teaches us, *"If your brother sins against you, go, show him his fault between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have gained back your brother."* If you feel led, consider humbly approaching your pastor to share your feelings, seeking clarity and reconciliation. However, do so with a heart that is open to understanding and growth, rather than accusation. Pray first that God would prepare both your heart and his, and that your conversation would be filled with grace and truth.
The pain of feeling unappreciated or mistreated despite your efforts to do good is real, and we grieve with you over the abuse you’ve endured. But take heart in knowing that God sees every act of kindness you’ve shown, every sacrifice you’ve made, and every tear you’ve shed. **Hebrews 6:10** assures us, *"For God is not unrighteous, so as to forget your work and the labor of love which you showed toward his name, in that you served the saints, and still do serve them."* Your labor in love is not in vain, even if it feels unseen by others. Jesus Himself was despised and rejected by men, yet He endured the cross for the joy set before Him (**Isaiah 53:3, Hebrews 12:2**). You are walking in the footsteps of your Savior when you love in the face of rejection.
We also want to gently remind you that while your feelings are valid, they must not become a lens through which you interpret every interaction. The enemy would love to use feelings of rejection to isolate you, to make you question your worth, or even to pull you away from the body of Christ. **1 Peter 5:8** warns, *"Be sober and self-controlled. Be watchful. Your adversary, the devil, walks around like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour."* Do not let these feelings fester in darkness. Bring them into the light of God’s Word and the fellowship of believers. Surround yourself with brothers and sisters in Christ who can speak truth into your life and remind you of who you are in Him.
Lastly, we notice that your request did not invoke the name of Jesus, and we want to gently but firmly remind you that there is no other name by which we can approach the throne of God. **John 14:6** declares, *"Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.'"* It is only through faith in Jesus Christ—His death on the cross for our sins and His resurrection—that we have access to God’s presence and the promise of eternal life. If you have not yet surrendered your life to Jesus as your Lord and Savior, we urge you to do so today. Confess your sins, believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, and you will be saved (**Romans 10:9**). If you have already placed your faith in Christ, then let this be a reminder to always approach God boldly in His name, for **Hebrews 4:16** tells us, *"Let’s therefore draw near with boldness to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace for help in time of need."*

Let us pray together for you:
Heavenly Father, we lift up our brother/sister to You, knowing that You are the God who sees and knows every heart. Lord, we ask that You would comfort them in this season of feeling rejected and unappreciated. Remind them, Holy Spirit, that their worth is not found in the opinions of others but in the unchanging love of Christ. Father, we pray that You would heal the wounds of abuse and mistreatment they have endured. Bind up their broken heart and replace their pain with Your peace that surpasses all understanding.
Lord, we ask for wisdom and discernment in their relationships, especially within the church. If there are misunderstandings with their pastor or others, we pray for opportunities for godly, humble communication that leads to unity and mutual edification. Give them the courage to set healthy boundaries where needed, and the grace to forgive those who have hurt them, just as You have forgiven us.
Father, we rebuke the lies of the enemy that tell them they are unlovable or unworthy. Fill them with the truth of Your Word, that they are fearfully and wonderfully made, chosen, and beloved by You. Strengthen them to continue in kindness and love, not for the approval of men, but as an offering to You.
We pray all this in the mighty and precious name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, who endured the ultimate rejection on the cross so that we might be accepted by God. May they find their rest and identity in Him alone. Amen.

We're right here with you, dear friend. It's tough feeling like people don't like us, especially when we're trying our best to be kind and helpful. But remember, Jesus loves you just the way you are. He sees your heart and knows all the good you do. It's okay to feel sad, but let's not let those feelings control us. Let's keep trusting in Jesus and keep loving others, even when it's hard.
We're praying for you, that God would fill you with His love and peace. Help us to see others as You see them, Lord. Give us wisdom in our relationships, especially with our pastor. Help us to communicate openly and humbly, seeking understanding and forgiveness. And Lord, remind us that our worth comes from You alone. Help us to love like Jesus, even when it's not easy. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

We want to thank you for allowing us to lift you up in prayer during this difficult season. It has been our honor to stand with you before the Lord, asking Him to bring comfort to your heart and clarity to your mind as you navigate these feelings of rejection and weariness. We know how deeply painful it can be to feel unseen or unappreciated, especially when your heart is postured toward kindness and service to others. The weight of past hurts—particularly when kindness has been met with abuse—can make even the smallest slights feel overwhelming, and we have been praying that God would meet you in that ache with His perfect love, which casts out all fear.
We earnestly hope that in these days, you have felt the Lord drawing near to you, reminding you that *He* sees every act of love you’ve shown, every sacrifice you’ve made, and every tear you’ve shed. His opinion of you is the only one that ultimately matters, and He delights in you as His beloved child. If you’ve experienced even a glimmer of His peace or a shift in your circumstances—whether in your church, your relationships, or your heart—we would be so encouraged to hear your praise report. Sometimes, the Lord works in ways we don’t immediately recognize, and your testimony could be the very thing someone else needs to hold onto hope.
If this burden still feels heavy, though, we want you to know we’re not done praying. You don’t have to carry this alone. Please share your request again as a new post so we can continue to intercede for you, asking the Lord to soften hearts around you, to give you divine connections with those who *will* appreciate and reciprocate your kindness, and to heal the wounds of past betrayals. We’re also praying for wisdom for you—wisdom to discern where to invest your love and energy, and wisdom to recognize the people God *has* placed in your life to encourage and uplift you.
Most of all, we’re asking the Lord to reveal Himself to you in fresh, undeniable ways. May He remind you that you are *liked*—no, *loved*—by the One who matters most. May He restore your joy in serving, not out of obligation or a need for approval, but as an overflow of the love you’ve received from Him. And may He surround you with a community that reflects His heart for you, one that sees your value and treats you with the kindness you so freely give.
We’re still here, still praying, and still believing for God’s best in your life. Don’t hesitate to reach out again—whether with a praise or a plea. You are not forgotten, and your heart matters deeply to us and to the Lord. May He continue to hold you close and lead you into His perfect peace as you seek Him through Jesus Christ. We pray all of this in Jesus’ name.
