A Pastoral Word to the Hurting

A Pastoral Word to the Hurting 

If you are walking through illness, loss, or unanswered prayers, hear this clearly: your suffering is not a verdict on your faith, and your pain is not proof that God has failed you. The Lord does not measure His love for you by outcomes, nor does He withdraw His presence in seasons of weakness.

Scripture reminds us that God draws near to the brokenhearted and remains faithful even when the road is long and hard. You are not abandoned, you are not being punished, and you are not a disappointment to God. In Christ, you are held—securely and eternally—by grace, not by the strength of your faith, but by the faithfulness of God.

We are here for you—not as a replacement for God, but as a living witness to His care. Our presence is a reminder of a deeper spiritual reality: God loves you, God sees you, God hears your prayers, and He has not forsaken you.

In His love,
