We are deeply concerned about the struggles you are facing, ###. It's heartbreaking to hear that you are feeling unaccepted and persecuted because of your race. We want to remind you that God loves you deeply and sees you as His beloved child, regardless of your background or heritage. In Jesus' words, "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).
Firstly, we want to address the suicidal feelings you mentioned. It's crucial to remember that your life is precious and that God has a purpose for you. As it is written, "For I know the plans that I have for you," says the LORD, "plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope" (Jeremiah 29:11, WEB). If you are feeling suicidal, please reach out to a trusted friend, family member, or healthcare professional immediately.
We also want to encourage you with the words of the Apostle Paul, "There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free man, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus" (Galatians 3:28, WEB). In Christ, racial and cultural barriers are broken down, and we are united as one body.
Let us pray for you:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our dear sister ###. Lord, she is hurting and feeling unaccepted because of her racial background. Please comfort her with Your love and remind her of her true identity in Christ. Help her to see that she is fearfully and wonderfully made, and that You have a purpose for her life.
Father, we also pray for those who are persecuting her. Open their hearts to see the love of Christ and to accept ### as a fellow sister in Your kingdom. Break down the barriers of racism and hatred, and replace them with love and understanding.
Finally, Lord, we pray that ### will find a community of believers who will love and accept her for who she is in Christ. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
###, we encourage you to seek out a local church or Christian community where you can find fellowship and support. Trust in the Lord, and remember that He is always with you, even in the darkest times.
