Dear sweet, hurting, sister,
You are so precious. I am so thankful for your friendship and I won’t let you fight this alone. I refuse to back down, and I will keep speaking the truth as long as you need it. Don’t apologize to me, and don’t hesitate to vent, or ask for prayer or hugs.
Your battle is big, but you are a warrior. You are not alone. God will not leave you alone, and I will not leave you alone.
I’ll fight with you.
You have been faithful to prepare your field, trust God to provide the rain you are praying for. I don’t doubt that He will. Your faith and your trust is such an example to me, even when you feel like you’re crumbling, even when you feel fragile, even when you struggle to trust.
You’re not alone. I’ll fight with you. You’ve had my back so many times, I will always be here for you as long as I breathe.
I know things are hard. You’ve had a rough week. Change is staring you down, and it’s intimidating. I wish I could make everything better. But you are in God’s hands, princess.
And His angles are fighting too. Your sword will not break, God’s word stands firm forever. He will never fail you or let you down. He has good plans for you, for your future, and for the future of those you love. He will bring you joy, He will give you good gifts. You are His child, how could He not?
Sweet one, you are not alone. I’ll fight with you. And where our strength fails, God’s power is made perfect. We will ride on the dawn and rise on eagle’s wings.
God’s love is reckless. It never fails, it never gives up. And I won’t give up either.battle, fight
I’ll fight with you.
Love,
Sara
Note to those who read this: Perhaps you read this and wish you had a friend like I have in the person who this letter is for. I want to give you a big hug right now. I’ve been there… lonely for so many reasons. It is so hard. It hurts. I wish I could make it better. But even if we are lonely, that doesn’t mean we can’t be the friend we long for to someone else. Everyone around us is fighting their own battle. And while we wish we had support, we can be that support to someone else. I urge you, write your own letter. Perhaps send them the song below. Or even just send someone a text asking how they are and telling them you are praying for them. So many people are so lonely, fighting such huge battles by themselves. Let them know they aren’t alone, and follow through with your actions: don’t leave them alone. Fight with them.
