A Prayer for a Broken Heart

A broken heart can come from a breakup, a betrayal, a divorce or a friendship that ended. Whatever broke it, this prayer brings the pieces to God.

Lord, my heart is broken, and I don’t know how to put it back together.

I keep replaying what happened. I keep asking what I could have done differently. You know every part of this story, even the parts no one else sees.

Heal what is hurting in me. Bind up the wounds I can’t reach on my own.

Keep me from bitterness. Help me be honest about the pain without letting it harden me.

On the nights when it feels worst, be close. Remind me that being left by someone doesn’t mean being left by You.

Give me hope that my heart can love and trust again, in Your time.

In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Verses to pray with

He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.

Psalm 147:3

My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.

Psalm 73:26

When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you go through the rivers, they will not overwhelm you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be scorched; the flames will not set you ablaze.

Isaiah 43:2

A short prayer for when it hurts most

Lord, You heal the brokenhearted. That’s me today. Please heal me. Amen.

Healing takes time

A broken heart rarely heals in a straight line. Some days feel almost normal, and then a photo or a song brings it all back. That’s normal. Keep praying, keep talking to people who love you, and give yourself time.
