Why are we still here, just to suffer.

We hear the depth of your pain, and our hearts ache with you in this moment of overwhelming despair. The weight of suffering can feel unbearable, and we want you to know you are not alone—God sees you, He hears you, and He holds you even when it feels like the darkness will never lift. The enemy would love nothing more than to keep you isolated in this place of hopelessness, but we stand with you in the authority of Jesus Christ to break every chain of despair and speak life over your soul.
First, we must address the gravity of your words about wanting to die. Scripture tells us, *"The thief comes only to steal, kill, and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full"* (John 10:10 WEB). Your life is precious to God—so much so that He sent His Son to die for you while you were still a sinner (Romans 5:8). We rebuke the spirit of death and suicide in Jesus’ name and declare that God has a purpose for you that the enemy cannot thwart. If you are in immediate danger of harming yourself, we urge you to reach out to someone you trust or a crisis hotline right now. You are not a burden, and your life matters deeply.
Depression and anxiety are real battles, but they are not the end of your story. King David, a man after God’s own heart, cried out in Psalm 13:1-2, *"How long, Yahweh? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me? How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart every day?"* Yet even in his despair, David turned to God and found hope. We encourage you to do the same. Pour out your heart to the Lord as David did—He can handle your raw, unfiltered emotions. *"Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you"* (1 Peter 5:7 WEB).
We also want to gently remind you that true hope and healing are found only in Jesus Christ. If you have not yet surrendered your life to Him, we invite you to consider the words of Jesus: *"Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest"* (Matthew 11:28 WEB). Salvation is not found in religion, good works, or even prayer alone—it is found in repenting of sin and placing your faith in Jesus’ death and resurrection for your forgiveness. *"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 WEB). If you have never prayed to receive Christ, we would be honored to lead you in that prayer today.
Now, let us pray for you:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with heavy hearts, lifting up our dear brother/sister who is in deep pain. Lord, You are the God who sees, the God who hears, and the God who heals. We ask You to break the chains of depression and anxiety that are suffocating their soul. Replace their despair with Your peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7). Remind them of Your nearness, for You have said, *"I will never leave you nor forsake you"* (Hebrews 13:5 WEB). Surround them with Your love and the support of godly people who can walk alongside them in this season.
Father, we rebuke the lies of the enemy that tell them they are alone, that their life has no purpose, or that death is the only escape. We declare that You have plans for them—plans for good and not for harm, to give them a future and a hope (Jeremiah 29:11). Strengthen their faith, Lord, and help them to take one step at a time, trusting in You even when they cannot see the way forward.
We ask for Your healing touch to restore their mind, body, and spirit. If there are areas of sin or unforgiveness contributing to their pain, reveal them, Lord, and grant them the grace to repent and release these burdens to You. Lead them to biblical counseling, medical help if needed, and a community of believers who can speak life into them. Most of all, draw them closer to Yourself, for in Your presence there is fullness of joy (Psalm 16:11).
We pray all of this in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, the name above every name, the One who conquered sin and death so that we might have life abundantly. Amen.
In this difficult season, we encourage you to cling to God’s promises even when they feel distant. Here are a few practical steps you can take:
1. **Seek God daily**—even if it’s just a few minutes of reading Scripture or listening to worship music. Start with the Psalms, where David and others poured out their hearts to God.
2. **Reach out for help**—talk to a pastor, a trusted Christian friend, or a biblical counselor. You were not meant to carry this alone.
3. **Take care of your body**—depression and anxiety can be exacerbated by poor sleep, diet, or lack of movement. Even a short walk outside can help.
4. **Fight the lies with truth**—write down Scripture verses that speak to your pain and meditate on them. For example, *"Why are you cast down, my soul? Why are you disquieted within me? Hope in God! For I shall still praise him, the saving help of my countenance"* (Psalm 42:5 WEB).
5. **Serve others**—sometimes the best way to break free from despair is to focus on someone else’s needs. Even a small act of kindness can shift your perspective.
Remember, this season is not your forever. God is at work even when you cannot see it. *"Weeping may stay for the night, but rejoicing comes in the morning"* (Psalm 30:5 WEB). You are loved more than you know, and we are standing with you in prayer, believing for your breakthrough.

We're here with you, holding you up in prayer. We know it feels like there's no way out, but remember, even in the darkest night, the sun will rise again. Jesus promised, "I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full" (John 10:10). He wants you to live abundantly, not just survive.
We're not going to sugarcoat it, life can be hard, and sometimes it feels like too much. But you're not alone. God is right there with you, even when you can't feel Him. He sees you, He hears you, and He loves you so much.
We want to remind you of something powerful. In the Bible, it talks about how God has a purpose for each of us. Jeremiah 29:11 says, "For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." God has a plan for your life, and it's a good one!
We're going to keep praying for you. We're asking God to fill you with His peace, to help you find hope, and to give you the strength to keep going one step at a time. We're believing for your breakthrough, and we're here for you, every step of the way.
And hey, if you ever need someone to talk to, we're here. You don't have to go through this alone. Let's keep fighting together, one day at a time.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
