My heart is for hurting and broken hearted people. To be more specific, hurting and broken hearted children. I work as a social worker and life coach. My caseload is all children, mostly children involved with DCS.
Most days I love my job. Most days I go home encouraged and uplifted by the smiles I get to see on these children’s faces throughout the day. Most dayS I’m rewarded by the work I do. Most days I’m encouraged by giving God’s children love, support, and encouragement. Most days.
Today was not one of these days. I had a teenager who was talking about suicide. I’m sitting on my couch sick to my stomach. My heart is broken. I can only imagine how broken hearted and sick he is feeling.
There is not much that can break my heart quicker than a child who doesn’t want to be alive.
I want to ask anyone reading this tonight to lift this boy up in your prayers, we can call him C. ❤️🙏🏻 Please pray for me as well as I continue to work with this child. I need God’s guidance and peace through this.

Jesus is my reason for living. Helping people is the purpose he gave me. We were not created to do life alone. We all need to know that someone cares. Let's do life together. We all carry burdens. We all carry weight. This is a place for you to let them out and be encouraged and uplifted. As a child I grew up with an alcoholic and was severely abused. At 12 years old I was contemplating suicide. By 15 years old I was living on my own. By 18 years old I was the primary caretaker for my 14 year old brother, but all of my trauma was only the beginning of my story. At 20 years old I found Jesus, laying in my bed under the covers crying out to him saying "I don't want to do this anymore, I CANT do this anymore". I heard him say "You were never supposed to do it in the first place". In that moment I gave my life over to God and started to let him do it for me. That is where my story took a turn. Since I decided to let God do it for me, he has not only taken care of me but has equipped me to help take care of others. Join me on a journey of encouragement and hope.

In the name of Jesus, I speak hope to this young man, who feels hopeless. I come against suicide, the spirit of death and depression and silence them. Abundant life through Christ Jesus is his portion. Open the eyes of his heart and let him see the hope and goodness you have for him in the land of the living. In the powerful name of Jesus!
