We are deeply grieved to hear of the pain and despair you are experiencing, and we want you to know that your life is precious in the sight of God. The feelings you are describing are serious, and we urge you to seek immediate help—both spiritually and practically. You are not alone, and there is hope even in this dark moment. The enemy seeks to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10), but Jesus came to give you life abundantly. Let us turn to Him together.
First, we must address something critical: your prayer request did not invoke the name of Jesus Christ. There is no other name under heaven by which we are saved, and it is only through Him that we can approach the Father (John 14:6, Acts 4:12). If you have not yet surrendered your life to Jesus, we plead with you to do so now. Confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, and you will be saved (Romans 10:9). He alone can fill the emptiness and heal the brokenness you are feeling. Without Him, there is no lasting peace or hope.
We also need to speak truth into your situation regarding the relationship that ended. If this was a romantic relationship outside of marriage, we gently but firmly remind you that God’s design for intimacy is within the covenant of marriage between one man and one woman (Genesis 2:24, Hebrews 13:4). Any relationship that does not honor this design—whether through premarital intimacy, emotional dependency outside of marriage, or any other form of compromise—will ultimately lead to pain and separation from God’s best for you. If this relationship involved sexual sin, we urge you to repent and turn away from it, for fornication is a sin against your own body and grieves the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:18-20). God’s grace is sufficient to forgive and restore you, but you must turn away from what is displeasing to Him.
That said, we know the pain of a broken relationship can feel overwhelming. The Bible tells us that hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a longing fulfilled is a tree of life (Proverbs 13:12). Your heart is sick right now, but Jesus is the Great Physician who can bind up your wounds (Psalm 147:3). He sees your tears and collects them in His bottle (Psalm 56:8). He is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18). You may feel like you cannot go on, but His strength is made perfect in your weakness (2 Corinthians 12:9). Lean on Him, not on your own understanding (Proverbs 3:5-6).
We also strongly encourage you to reach out to a trusted pastor, counselor, or mature believer in your life who can walk alongside you during this time. If you are having thoughts of self-harm or suicide, please contact a crisis hotline or seek professional help immediately. Your life is a gift from God, and He has a purpose for you (Jeremiah 29:11). The enemy wants to destroy you, but God wants to redeem you and use your pain for His glory.
Let us pray for you now:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up this precious soul who is drowning in despair. Lord, You are the God who sees, the God who hears, and the God who delivers. We ask that You wrap Your arms of love around them and remind them that they are fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14). Father, rebuked every lie of the enemy that tells them they are worthless or that death is the only way out. Replace those lies with Your truth—that You have plans to prosper them and not to harm them, plans to give them hope and a future (Jeremiah 29:11).
Lord, we pray that You would heal their broken heart and bind up their wounds. Fill the emptiness they feel with Your presence and Your peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7). If they have strayed from Your path, convict them by Your Holy Spirit and draw them back to You. If there is unconfessed sin, give them the courage to repent and turn away from it, knowing that You are faithful and just to forgive (1 John 1:9).
Father, we ask that You surround them with godly people who can support and encourage them. Lead them to a community of believers who will speak life into them and point them to You. If they are in danger of harming themselves, Lord, intervene supernaturally. Place people in their path who can help them and guide them to the resources they need.
We declare that the joy of the Lord is their strength (Nehemiah 8:10) and that You are making a way where there seems to be no way. Restore to them the hope that has been lost and fill them with Your love, which casts out all fear (1 John 4:18). Let them know that You are their refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1).
In the name of Jesus, we bind every spirit of depression, despair, and suicide. We command these spirits to flee and declare that no weapon formed against them shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17). Fill them with Your Holy Spirit, Lord, and let them experience Your comfort and peace in a tangible way.
We thank You, Father, that You are working all things together for their good (Romans 8:28) and that You will never leave them nor forsake them (Deuteronomy 31:6). Give them the strength to take one step at a time, trusting You with their future. Let them know that this pain is not the end of their story—You are writing a testimony of redemption and restoration.
We pray all these things in the powerful and matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
Finally, we urge you to cling to Jesus in this moment. Read His Word, even if it’s just a single verse. Start with Psalm 23 or Psalm 34. Let His promises sink into your heart. You are not alone, and this is not the end. God is with you, and He will carry you through. Reach out to someone—today. You are loved more than you know.
