God's Grace for the Brokenhearted


Going through a heartbreak can be one of the most difficult experiences in life. It can feel like your whole world has been turned upside down, and it can be hard to know where to turn for comfort. But as a Christian woman, you must know that you are not alone. God is always with you, and He wants to help you heal. He will never leave or forsake you.


Here are some scriptures that can offer you comfort and hope during this difficult time:


Psalm 34:18 says, "The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit."


Isaiah 41:10 says, "So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand."


Jeremiah 29:11 says, "For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."


Forgive and Let God


Forgiveness is extremely important during a heartbreak. Holding on to anger and bitterness can be harmful to both the person who has been hurt and the person who has hurt them. Forgiveness can help to release these negative emotions and allow both people to move on with their lives.



Matthew 6:14 says, “For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.”


Heartbreak Gives Us Inner Strength


A heartbreak is a difficult experience, but it is also a time of growth and opportunity. With time and prayer, you will get through this and come out stronger on the other side. Make use of your time for the days are evil. Sometime the enemy uses those we love to distract us from the purpose God has for us. Don't let the enemy distract you from your purpose. Make use of your time by strengthening your relationship with God.


1 Peter 5:8 Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.


Ephesians 5:16-16 Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil.


Relations with friends, family, and romantic partners may fail or be tested. But your relationship with God is everlasting!!! He will never fail you but it is up to you to strengthen that relationship with him.


When all else fails don’t turn to coping mechanisms. Turn to God. He will heal and restore you.


Deuteronomy 31:8 The LORD himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.


Ephesians 5:18- 19 Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with the Spirit, speaking to one another with psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit.



1 Peter 1:13 Therefore, preparing your minds for action, and being sober-minded, set your hope fully on the grace that will be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ.


Give thanks always. Be grateful for all of the situations and challenges that you go through for they are preparing you for your blessing. Be grateful for the blessings that have led you to where you are now.


When the storm comes don’t suffer in silence and don’t suffer alone go to other believers to heal together for you are not the only one facing the storm.


When you are feeling heartbroken, it is important to remember that God is with you. He loves you and He wants to help you heal. Spend time in prayer, reading the Bible, and worshiping God. He will give you the strength and comfort you need to get through this difficult time.


Here are some scriptures to remind you of God's Everlasting Love:


1 John 4:19 "We love because he first loved us."


Ephesians 3:17-19: "And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord's holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God."


John 3:16: "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."


In addition to spending time with God, there are other things you can do to help yourself heal. Here are a few suggestions:


  • Talk to a trusted friend or family member. Talking about your feelings can help you process them and start to move on.

  • Get involved in activities that you enjoy. This will help you take your mind off of your heartbreak and start to feel better about yourself.

  • Seek professional help if you need it. A therapist can help you work through your emotions and develop healthy coping mechanisms.

  • Remember, healing takes time. There is no quick fix for a broken heart. But with God's help, you will get through this.


Prayer for Healing


Dear God,


I come to you today with a broken heart. I am hurting so much, and I don't know what to do. I know that you are with me, and I trust that you will help me heal.


Please comfort me and give me strength. Help me to forgive the person who hurt me, and help me to let go of the anger and bitterness that I am feeling.


I pray that you will give me hope for the future. Help me to believe that I can find love again, and help me to trust that you have a plan for my life.


Thank you for your love and for your faithfulness. I know that you will never leave me or forsake me.


In Jesus' name, amen.
