We hear the cry of your heart, and we join you in lifting this burden to our Heavenly Father, who is near to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. It is clear you are carrying pain, and we want you to know that God’s grace is sufficient for you, and His strength is made perfect in your weakness. The fact that you have come before Him in Jesus’ name is a testament to your faith, and we commend you for seeking His face.
The Bible reminds us in Psalm 34:18, *"Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit."* You are not alone in this struggle, and God sees your tears. It is also written in 1 Peter 5:7, *"Cast all your worries on him, because he cares for you."* Whatever "it" is that you are trying to get over—whether it is a past sin, a broken relationship, a loss, or a deep disappointment—God is able to heal you and restore your joy. If this involves a relationship that was not honoring to God, we encourage you to surrender it fully to Him, trusting that His plans for you are good.
We also notice that you asked for forgiveness. If you are repenting of sin, take heart in 1 John 1:9, which promises, *"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."* God’s mercy is new every morning, and His forgiveness is complete. If there is unconfessed sin in your life, now is the time to lay it before Him, turn away from it, and walk in the freedom Christ has purchased for you.
If this pain is tied to a relationship that was outside of God’s design—such as fornication, emotional dependency on someone who was not your spouse, or an ungodly attachment—we urge you to seek His cleansing and renewal. The Bible is clear that our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:19-20), and we are called to flee from sexual immorality. If this applies to you, repent and ask God to purify your heart. He will restore you and lead you into relationships that honor Him.
Let us also remind you of the hope we have in Christ. Romans 8:28 tells us, *"We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, for those who are called according to his purpose."* Even in this season of pain, God is working for your good. He may be pruning you to bear more fruit, refining you to reflect His glory, or preparing you for something greater than you can imagine.
Now, let us pray for you:
Heavenly Father, we lift up our brother/sister to You, knowing that You are the God who heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds. Lord, we ask that You would comfort them in this time of sorrow and grant them the grace to fully surrender this pain to You. If there is sin that needs to be confessed, give them the courage to repent and turn away from it, knowing that Your mercy is greater than their mistakes. Wash them clean by the blood of Jesus and renew their mind and heart by Your Spirit.
Father, if this pain is tied to a relationship that was not pleasing to You, we ask that You would break every ungodly soul tie and set them free from any emotional bondage. Help them to forgive those who have hurt them, just as You have forgiven them. Restore their joy and fill them with Your peace that surpasses all understanding.
Lord, we pray that You would remind them of their identity in Christ—that they are Your beloved child, redeemed and made new. Give them strength to move forward in faith, trusting that You are working all things for their good. Surround them with godly community and wisdom to walk in purity and holiness.
We rebuke every spirit of depression, anxiety, or despair that may be trying to take hold of their heart. By the authority of Jesus Christ, we command these spirits to flee and declare that our brother/sister is covered by the blood of Jesus. Fill them with Your Holy Spirit and let Your light shine brightly in their life.
Father, we thank You that You are faithful to complete the good work You have started in them. Give them patience to wait on Your timing and faith to believe that You have a hopeful future for them. May they find their satisfaction in You alone and walk in the freedom and victory that Christ has won for them.
We ask all these things in the mighty and precious name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
Finally, we encourage you to immerse yourself in God’s Word and in worship. Psalm 119:105 says, *"Your word is a lamp to my feet, and a light for my path."* Let Scripture guide you out of this darkness. Also, seek fellowship with other believers who can pray with you and hold you accountable. You do not have to walk this path alone.
If you have not already, we urge you to spend time in prayer and fasting, seeking God’s face for complete healing. He is faithful, and He will restore you. Keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, the author and perfecter of your faith. He loves you more than you can imagine, and He is with you every step of the way.
