Peace

We join you in praising God and we lift you up together before His throne, asking Him to pour out His peace upon you in this season of deep hurt.
We hear the pain in your words, that your purpose and sense of humanity feel stripped away by what you endured in your past relationship. We want to remind you of what God says is still true about you. You are made in the image of God, Genesis 1:27, and you are fearfully and wonderfully made, Psalm 139:14. No person and no painful relationship can erase the value God placed on you, and no hurt can cancel the purpose He has for your life. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared before that we would walk in them, Ephesians 2:10. And we know His thoughts toward you remain good, For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says Yahweh, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you hope and a future, Jeremiah 29:11.
We also hear your cry for justice, and we bring that cry to the Lord who is a God of justice and truth. The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and heals those who are crushed in spirit, Psalm 34:18, and He heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds, Psalm 147:3. He sees all that was done to you, He does not overlook it, and His justice is perfect. As it is written, Vengeance belongs to me; I will repay, says the Lord, Romans 12:19. We encourage you to place the need for justice fully in His hands, trusting Him to act righteously in His time, and to free your heart from the burden of carrying vengeance yourself. This does not mean what happened did not matter, it means we trust the righteous Judge to make all things right while we seek to forgive as Christ forgave us, so that bitterness does not take root.
The peace you are asking for is exactly what Jesus promised to give. He said, Peace I leave with you. My peace I give to you; not as the world gives, give I to you. Don't let your heart be troubled, neither let it be fearful, John 14:27. That peace comes as we bring everything to Him in prayer, In nothing be anxious, 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. And as you keep your mind stayed on Him, You will keep whoever's mind is steadfast in perfect peace, because he trusts in you, Isaiah 26:3.
We also want to gently speak to the area of relationships, since the wound came from there. God designed relationships and courtship to honor Him and to lead toward marriage between a man and a woman who are believers in Christ, a lifelong covenant. When relationships fall outside that design, including intimacy outside of marriage which Scripture calls fornication, hearts are often left wounded and stripped as you describe. If any part of that past relationship involved sin, whether done by you or against you, we encourage you to bring it to the Lord for His forgiveness and cleansing, for He is faithful to restore and make new. And as God heals you, we pray that any future courtship will be centered on Christ and aimed toward a godly marriage that honors Him.
We now pray together for you.
Father in heaven, we thank You that our brother in Christ has come to You in Jesus' name, for it is only through Jesus that we have access to You, and there is no other name by which we are saved, Acts 4:12 and John 14:6. We praise You that You are our refuge and our healer. We ask You to pour out Your perfect peace that surpasses all understanding over this dear soul, to guard his heart and mind in Christ Jesus. Where he feels stripped of purpose and humanity, restore to him the knowledge of his worth in You and the purpose You have prepared for him. Bind up his wounds, heal his broken heart, and renew his mind day by day. We place his cry for justice before Your throne, asking You to act justly, to vindicate according to Your righteousness, and to help him to release vengeance to You and walk in forgiveness and freedom. Lead him forward in wholeness, guide his steps into the good works You have for him, and in Your timing, if it is Your will, lead him to a godly marriage that reflects Your love. We ask all of this in the mighty and merciful name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

We thank you for sharing this so honestly. To feel your purpose and humanity were stripped away in a past relationship is a heavy and painful place to be, and it is understandable you are longing for peace and for things to be made right.
We want you to know God sees the full weight of what was taken from you and He has not forgotten who you are. When a relationship leaves that kind of mark, peace often comes slowly, as you bring those painful memories honestly before Him and allow Him to restore your sense of dignity and worth over time. Justice matters to Him too, and we can trust Him to handle what we cannot settle on our own.
One gentle next step that helps many people in this kind of season is to invite one trusted, mature believer or pastor to walk with you regularly, someone who will listen without rushing you and pray with you consistently. You do not have to carry this alone.
Father, we lift our friend to You right now. You know the hurt from this past relationship and the longing for peace. Please bring Your nearness, quiet the turmoil inside, and remind this one of the purpose and worth You have placed within them. Guide them toward healing and entrust the need for justice into Your faithful hands. In Jesus' name, Amen.

May peace be spoken into your soul, for that is the peace which is to be desired, the peace which God Himself speaks, and all other peace is but a poor and fleeting thing. I have heard your cry that your purpose and humanity have felt as if they were stripped away in a past relationship, and that you need the help of God and His justice, and I would bring your sorrow before the throne of grace with you.
There are hearts that are broken through sore trials and bereavements, and there are hearts broken by the unkindness and sin of others, and the Lord knows how to bind up broken hearts. Best of all, as the Healer of broken hearts, God has chosen One whose own heart was broken. Jesus died of a broken heart that He might heal yours. It is a dreadful thing to have faith broken and hope broken and love broken, and to feel as a palpitating mass of pain, but He who was bruised for us can make the bones which He has seen broken to rejoice, not merely to be quiet or callous, but to rejoice again.
That peace you seek is not to be found in the world, which cries peace, peace, where there is no peace. The peace that blesses is the peace that comes through the blood which has made a full atonement. The blood of Jesus whispers peace within. It is a deep peace, a high peace, a broad peace, an endless peace, and it is a present possession to be enjoyed even with sorrows surging round. The promise stands, You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You. Keep your mind stayed upon Christ, trust in Him alone for salvation, for there is no other name by which we are saved, and He will keep you.
You ask also for justice, and rightly does your heart long for what is right. Know this, that our Lord is first King of righteousness, and after that also King of peace. Where an unrighteous peace exists it must be broken up that a better peace may be established upon a true foundation which will last forever. Do not seek to avenge yourself, but leave room for Him who has said vengeance belongs unto Him. Who shall lay anything to the charge of God's elect It is God that justifies. Who is he that condemns. All things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to His purpose, and even the world of nature shall be at peace with those whom God has reconciled to Himself. His justice is not slack, and His mercy is not withheld from those who come to Him through Christ.
May the Lord turn your eyes away from yourself and from what has been taken from you, to look unto Jesus the Healer. May He heal your wounds, restore to you a true sense of your purpose as one made in His image and redeemed by His blood, and teach you to do the will of Jesus, for to do His will is rest. May He guard your life henceforth in holiness, for He calls us not to live at peace with sin, but to be kings of righteousness and then to know the peace of Salem.
Let us pray together. O Lord our God, the God of all peace, who has made peace by the blood of Thy Son, speak peace unto this afflicted soul. Bind up the broken heart, heal the broken bones, and let them rejoice. Keep this trusting one in perfect peace, the mind stayed on Thee. Show Thy righteous justice in Thy time and way, and meanwhile give grace to wait and to trust, and to walk in holiness before Thee. Grant boldness at the mercy seat through Jesus Christ our only hope and our peace, in whose name we pray, Amen.
