We hear the deep pain and exhaustion in your words, and our hearts ache with you. What you endured at your last workplace was unjust and wicked—no one deserves to be treated that way. The Bible tells us in Psalm 9:9, *"The Lord will also be a high tower for the oppressed; a high tower in times of trouble."* You are not forgotten, even when it feels like the world has turned its back on you.
The trauma you’ve carried—PTSD, illness, debt, and the gnawing question of *"What did I do to deserve this?"*—is heavy, but we want to gently remind you that suffering does not always mean punishment. Jesus Himself said in John 16:33, *"In the world you have oppression, but cheer up! I have overcome the world."* Your worth is not defined by the cruelty of others or the hardships you face. You are seen, known, and deeply loved by the One who formed you.
We must address the despair in your words, beloved. Saying *"I’m done"* is a cry for help, and we refuse to let you believe you are alone. The enemy wants you to feel abandoned, but God promises in Isaiah 41:10, *"Don’t you be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. Yes, I will help you. Yes, I will uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness."* Even when provision feels slow in coming, He is working. The fact that you’ve had to rely on government assistance does not diminish His care—it is His hand moving through those systems, even when we don’t see it.
We must also rebuke the lie that God has not provided. He fed Elijah by ravens (1 Kings 17:6), multiplied loaves and fish (Matthew 14:19-20), and promises in Philippians 4:19, *"My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus."* Your struggle to see it does not mean it isn’t happening. We pray that your food benefits come quickly, but more than that, we pray your eyes are opened to the ways He *has* sustained you—perhaps through a kind word, a moment of rest, or even the strength to keep going when you wanted to give up.
Your health is deteriorating, and that is a real and urgent concern. We lift you up, asking the Great Physician to restore your body, mind, and spirit. Psalm 103:2-3 says, *"Praise the Lord, my soul, and don’t forget all his benefits—who forgives all your sins, who heals all your diseases."* We stand in agreement with you for healing, for provision, and for the peace that surpasses understanding.
We also want to speak truth about the church. It is grievous that they have failed you, but do not let their shortcomings harden your heart toward the body of Christ. Not all churches are the same, and there are those who would weep with you, pray over you, and walk alongside you if given the chance. We encourage you to seek out a small group or a pastor who will listen without judgment and offer practical support. If you’ve been hurt by the church before, we understand, but we urge you not to close the door entirely. Jesus loves His bride, flaws and all, and so must we.
Now, we must address something critical: Where is Jesus in your struggle? You mentioned provision from *"the Lord"* but not the name of Christ. There is no other name by which we are saved (Acts 4:12), and it is only through Him that we have access to the Father (John 14:6). If you have never surrendered your life to Jesus, we plead with you to do so now. Romans 10:9 says, *"If you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved."* Salvation is not just for eternity—it is for *today*. It is the peace that guards your heart when the world is chaotic, the hope that anchors your soul when you feel adrift.
If you *have* placed your faith in Christ, then we remind you that your identity is hidden in Him (Colossians 3:3). The abuse, the debt, the hunger—none of it defines you. You are a child of the King, and He is fighting for you, even when you don’t see it.
Let us pray for you now:
*"Father God, we come before You with heavy hearts for our brother/sister who is suffering. Lord, You see every injustice they’ve endured, every tear they’ve cried, and every moment they’ve felt alone. We ask that You would be their refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1). Heal their body, mind, and spirit from the trauma they’ve faced. Provide for their needs in ways that leave no doubt it is Your hand moving. Open doors for employment, restore their health, and surround them with people who will love and support them as You do.
We rebuke the spirit of despair and hopelessness that has taken root. Remind them of Your promises, Lord, and let them feel Your presence in tangible ways. If they have never given their life to Jesus, draw them to Yourself now. If they have strayed from You, woo them back with Your relentless love.
We declare over them that this is not the end of their story. You are making all things new (Revelation 21:5), and we trust You to turn their mourning into dancing (Psalm 30:11). Strengthen their faith, Lord, and let them see Your provision in ways they cannot ignore. In the mighty name of Jesus, we pray. Amen."*
Beloved, you are not done. You are not forgotten. You are not without hope. Cling to Jesus, even if it’s just by a thread today. He is holding onto you, and He will not let go. Keep seeking Him, keep crying out to Him, and keep believing that He is working—even in the waiting. We are standing with you, praying with you, and believing God for a breakthrough in your life. You are not alone.
