Let me just pull up a seat beside you. Not to offer advice, not to give a pep talk, just to be here. Sometimes, we don’t need answers or encouragement; we need presence. The kind that says, “I see you,” without demanding anything in return. Presence can be as healing as words, sometimes even more so. I’ve found comfort just being on the phone with someone, each of us living our own lives in quiet togetherness. In a world filled with noise, rush, and pressure, I often find myself longing for someone to simply sit with me. So that’s what I want to do today, sit with you. I see the weight you carry. I know the strength it takes to face the day when your heart is tired and your faith feels strained. I understand the grief of always having to make the hard choice, the sting of comparison when someone else’s life seems easier, lighter, more whole. It’s not just you.

There are days when all we can do is hold tight to promises that feel far away. Scriptures that don’t yet match our reality. I’ve clung to verses with tears in my eyes and a lump in my throat, speaking hope aloud even when my heart struggles to believe it. That doesn’t make your faith weak; it makes it real and it makes you human. So I’m sitting here in solidarity, as someone who also longs for someone to just be there, without needing to fix anything. Keep praying, even if you cannot mutter words, just tears. Keep holding on. This moment is proof you haven’t given up. Let these words wrap around you and provide comfort and healing.

“Don’t be pulled in different directions or worried about a thing. Be saturated in prayer throughout each day, offering your faith-filled requests before God with overflowing gratitude. Tell him every detail of your life,”

Philippians 4:6 TPT

Hold on, change is coming. Be blessed and be a blessing.
