10 Reassuring Prayers for the Broken Hearted

Published June 3, 2022

Every single one of us has had our hearts broken at least once in our life. Whether it’s from a broken relationship, betrayal from the people you trust the most, or losing someone you love, there’s no escaping it. As long as you love, there’s always the risk of getting your heart broken.

The worst thing about heartbreak is not the heartbreak itself. Rather, it’s the feelings of loneliness, isolation, self-doubts, and despair. They make you question everything, the love of the people around you, and even your own existence.

But in these troubling times, when it seems like everyone has deserted you, God will always be there for you. Whatever hurts and suffering we endure right now, He feels it too. We are His children after all. So whenever we’re hurt, he’s hurting too. Whenever our heart gets broken, his heart breaks too.

So if you’re looking for someone who can understand your pain right now, look no further than our creator. If you want to talk to Him, here are some reassuring prayers for the brokenhearted:

Prayer from a Broken Heart

O Lord There is nothing but hurt left.

I feel so broken, my heart is torn apart.

All I can do is wait. Wait in this desolate place,

And trust that somehow you can meet me.

I feel too weak to go on.

I am like a shell, living, breathing, yet so empty.

All I can do is give up. Give up in this heartbroken time,

And believe that somehow you can restore me.

I find the sadness overwhelming,

Like wave upon wave of emptiness.

All I can do is rest. Rest within your suffering

and hope that through you –

Your love, your forgiveness and your strength –

I will wake to a new day A new dawn for my heart and my life. Amen.

Prayer for the Healing of a Broken Heart

God, please wrap me up in your healing. Minister with your holy power to stop the bleeding of my heart and the waves of tears and the constant emptiness. Show me that you indeed bind up wounds and heal the brokenhearted. I don’t want to read it, God; I want to see your handiwork.

My prayer is one of pleading today, that you see me…and that you will grow new life where life feels like it’s leaking out of me. Turn the tragedy around, God, and overflow my cup with your presence and possibility. I’m ready to be healed.

I’m here before you, expecting, that you will heal all the hurt my heart is feeling in your miraculous ways and timing. I will visualize your kindness as a soft bandage that will melt away as new life emerges.

Here are my wounds, Father. Please show me your power. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Morning Prayer for the Broken Hearted

Lord, my heart is so heavy this morning. My sorrow is so great. In the midst of all this pain I am feeling, I am so thankful that you are God and I am not. I am thankful that you are all-powerful, that I do not have to hold it all together or be strong for everyone in my life. You are my strength. You are strong for my loved ones when I can’t be. I am thankful you are all-knowing – that you know the outcome to this misery I am facing. That I don’t have to figure out what the next week or month or year looks like because you have it all held together. And you promise my feet won’t slip. Help me, Lord! Strengthen me for today. Give me daily bread, that I can be sustained through this heartache. Thank you God that you are close when I am hurting. Thank you God for the comfort, grace, and joy that only you can give. Hold me up today. In your name, I pray, Amen.

Prayer for a Broken Heart from a Relationship

God, thank you that You know my name and I am priceless to You – even when I feel rejected, crumpled, dirty, and lost. I give you my life. I trust You and love you, and I believe Your thoughts about me are precious! You love me, and You protect me. I don’t understand why this breakup had to happen, but I know that You are with me. Things are difficult right now, but I know You are bigger than my problems and that You have a good future planned for me. I want Your plans to come to pass in my life, and I trust in You to change my circumstances according to Your will. Amen.
