If your heart is broken, say this prayer to God

Breaking a romantic relationship can be one of the most emotionally painful events you can experience. Christian believers will find that God can offer the best comfort while overcoming your breakup.

Anyone who has gone through the breakdown of a love story (which means most of us) knows the devastation it can cause, even if you choose to end the relationship. Christians should understand that it is okay to cry and mourn over the loss of something special and that God is there for you when you hurt. He wants to give us comfort and love in the most difficult moments.

A prayer for heartbreak
As you overcome your pain, here is a simple prayer asking God to be your comfort in this difficult time:

Sir, thank you for being you and for your willingness to be here with me during this time. It has been difficult lately with this breakup. You know. You have been here looking at me and looking at us together. I know in my heart that if it had been thought, it would have happened, but that thought doesn't always fit how I feel. I am angry. I'm sad. I am disappointed.
You are the one I know I can turn to for comfort, Lord. Give me the certainty that this was the right thing for me in my life, as it is now. Lord, show me that there are so many great things in my future and offer me comfort in the thought that you have plans for me and that one day I will find the person who fits those plans. Assure me that you have my best intentions in mind, and although I don't know what all these intentions are, this was not part of them - that one day you will reveal someone new who will make my heart sing. Give me time to get to that acceptance point.

Lord, I only ask for your continued love and guidance in this difficult time, and I pray for the patience of others as I work through my feelings. Whenever I think of happy moments, it hurts. When I think of sad times, well, that hurts too. Help those around me understand that I need this time to heal and overcome that pain. Help me understand that this too will pass through me - that one day the pain will decrease - and remind me that you will be there with me all the time. Although I may find it difficult to let go, I pray that you will surround me with people who help and lift me in prayer, love and support.
Thank you, Lord, for being more than just my God right now. Thanks for being my father. My friend. My confidant and my support.
In your name, Amen.
