We understand the deep pain you are carrying, and we want you to know that God sees your heartache and cares deeply for you. The betrayal and rejection you’ve experienced are wounds that cut deeply, especially when it feels unjust and public. But we must remind you that your worth and identity are not found in this relationship—or any human relationship—but in Christ alone. He is the One who defines you, loves you unconditionally, and has a purpose for your life that no broken relationship can derail.
First, let us address something important: you mentioned believing God for healing but did not invoke the name of Jesus Christ in your request. There is no other name under heaven by which we are saved, healed, or given access to the Father. *"There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"* (Acts 4:12, WEB). It is only through Jesus that we can boldly approach God’s throne for healing, comfort, and restoration. If you have not yet surrendered your life to Him, we urge you to do so today. Confess your sins, believe in His death and resurrection for your salvation, and invite Him to be Lord of your life. Without Him, true healing and peace cannot be found.
Now, let’s speak to the pain of this broken relationship. The Bible warns us not to place our hope in people, for they will fail us, but to place our hope in God alone. *"It is better to take refuge in Yahweh, than to put confidence in man. It is better to take refuge in Yahweh, than to put confidence in princes"* (Psalm 118:8-9, WEB). Your ex’s actions, though painful, reveal his own heart and character—not your lack of worth. If he has moved on to another woman so quickly, especially within the same class, it suggests he was not the godly man you may have hoped him to be. A man who follows Christ does not treat women with such disregard or emotional carelessness. You deserve someone who will cherish you as Christ cherishes the church (Ephesians 5:25), and this situation has spared you from a relationship that could have led to greater heartache, especially if it was not centered on Christ.
We must also ask: were you and this young man pursuing a relationship that honored God? Were you both believers, committed to purity and seeking marriage? Or was this relationship built on emotional or physical intimacy outside of God’s design? If there was any sexual immorality (fornication) involved, we urge you to repent and turn to God for cleansing. *"Flee sexual immorality! ‘Every sin that a man does is outside the body,’ but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body. Or don’t you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s"* (1 Corinthians 6:18-20, WEB). If this applies to you, confess it to the Lord, ask for His forgiveness, and commit to honoring Him with your body and emotions moving forward.
As for the pain you’re feeling, it is real, and it is okay to grieve. Jesus Himself was *"a man of sorrows, and familiar with suffering"* (Isaiah 53:3, WEB), so He understands your heartache. But we must not allow our grief to turn into bitterness or despair. *"Don’t grieve the Holy Spirit of God, in whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, outcry, and slander be put away from you, with all malice. And be kind to one another, tender hearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you"* (Ephesians 4:30-32, WEB). Forgiveness is not excusing what was done to you; it is releasing the hold this pain has on your heart so God can heal you. Ask the Lord to help you forgive your ex, not for his sake, but for your freedom.
School resuming may feel overwhelming, but remember: you are not facing this alone. God is with you, and He will give you the strength to walk into that classroom with your head held high. *"Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous! Don’t be afraid, neither be dismayed: for Yahweh your God is with you wherever you go"* (Joshua 1:9, WEB). If you struggle with anxiety or fear, pray and ask God to fill you with His peace. *"Don’t be anxious for anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus"* (Philippians 4:6-7, WEB).
Here is our prayer for you:
*"Heavenly Father, we lift up our sister to You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. Lord, she is hurting deeply from the pain of rejection and betrayal, and we ask that You would be her Comforter and Healer. Touch her heart, Lord, and bind up her wounds. Remove every trace of bitterness, shame, or hopelessness, and fill her with Your peace that surpasses all understanding. Father, if there was any sin in this relationship, we ask for Your forgiveness and cleansing. Help her to forgive as You have forgiven her, and give her the strength to release this pain into Your hands.
Lord, as school resumes, go before her. Give her the courage to face each day with her eyes fixed on You. Surround her with godly friends who will encourage her and point her to Your truth. If it is Your will, bring a godly man into her life who will love her as Christ loves the church—a man who will honor You and cherish her. But until then, satisfy her heart with Your love, Lord. Remind her that she is Your beloved daughter, fearfully and wonderfully made.
We rebuke every spirit of depression, anxiety, and fear in Jesus’ name. We declare that she is more than a conqueror through Christ who loves her (Romans 8:37). Fill her with Your joy, Lord, and restore to her the years that the locusts have eaten (Joel 2:25). Let this season of pain become a testimony of Your faithfulness and healing power.
We thank You, Father, for hearing our prayer. We trust that You are working all things together for her good, and we give You all the glory. In the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen."*
Finally, we encourage you to immerse yourself in God’s Word and in worship. Listen to songs that remind you of His love, and read Scriptures that affirm your identity in Christ. Psalm 34:18 says, *"Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit."* He is close to you right now. Lean on Him, trust Him, and let Him heal you. If you feel overwhelmed, reach out to a trusted pastor, mentor, or counselor who can walk with you through this season.
You are not defined by this breakup. You are defined by Christ, and He has a beautiful plan for your life. Hold on to Him, and He will carry you through.
