Dear Lord,

You are the ever knowing God. You see what’s in our hearts, you hear what’s in our mind even before we speak. You know every aspect of my life Lord. I ask you Lord Jesus to heal my family from the brokenness that we are experiencing now. I ask you Lord to heal the gap that is drifting my husband away from our family. I ask You Lord Jesus to touch him so he will realize the consequences of his actions. That he will realize our family’s worth.

God, good Lord, please heal my family. Bring us back together Lord, be in our midst and heal each one of us from the pain of being separated and away from each other. Bring back the love we once have. I ask you too Lord Jesus to heal my broken heart. Heal the seething pain in my heart brought about by my husbands negligence and disregard for me and my family. Lord God, I know i am not perfect, i have my mistakes and shortcomings. But you know dear God the sincerety of my heart.

Please good Lord, heal me from this pain. help me to accept things as You will them to be. Help me to learn to forgive and endure all these pain I am feeling now. and strengthen my faith in you Lord that at the end of the day, You will take care of me and my family. Carry us Lord. In Your Holy name. Amen.

After breaking up, we often describe what we feel as having a broken heart.  We may become depressed and lose all interest in life.  We may feel stress, we may feel abandoned and rejected and unloved and we lose hope of ever knowing how to be happy again.  Here is a prayer to God with Bible verses to help you express your pain and need for God to heal your broken heart.

Prayer for Healing a Broken Heart

Dear God, I am hurting terribly right now.  It’s so hard for me to remember ever being happy, and when I do, it hurts even more because of what I’ve lost.  Here’s what makes me the saddest about what I’ve lost after this break up…

I am desperate to go back to the way things used to be.  If there is still hope for this relationship, please give me guidance as to what to do to reach out to my ex.  Here is one thing I have been thinking about trying___________________________

God, I need to figure out if I’m thinking rationally trying to reconnect with my ex.  Help me to listen to you and to seek the advice of someone I trust before I act.  Here’s one person I will ask for advice_________________________

If all attempts to reconnect with my ex fails, give me the strength I need to accept the finality of the breakup and the reality of my broken heart.

My friends and family  mean well, but they don’t seem to know how to help me.  They tell me that things aren’t that bad, that I should get up, go out, get even and enjoy myself.  They tell me to look at all of the good things I still have in my life.  They say that I’ll find someone else to love some day.  But someday won’t help me today because my heart and spirit are crushed from loss and loneliness.

I do all right for a while, then something reminds me of my ex, and I fall apart all over again.  Here are the things that I need your help with that most remind me of my ex _________________________________________

God, I don’t have anywhere else to turn but to you.  I know you understand because it says in the Bible, “My soul thirsts for God, for the living God.  When can I go and meet with God?  My tears have been my food day and night…” (Psalm 42:2, 3)   “I am worn out from groaning; all night long I flood my bed with weeping and drench my couch with tears.”  (Psalm 6:6, NIV)

I claim today the following promises for my broken heart:

“The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.”  (Psalm 34:18 )

“Weeping may remain or a night, but rejoicing comes in the morning.”  (Psalm 30:5)

“I will be glad and rejoice in your love, for you saw my affliction and knew the anguish of my soul.  You have not handed me over to the enemy but have set my feet in a spacious place.” (Psalm 31:7,8)

“He will wipe every tear from their eyes.  There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.”  (Revelation 21:4)

Please give me the strength to get through each day as my heart slowly heals.  Carry me in your arms of love.  Give me a personal sign of your presence.  Restore my ability to smile.  Give me back my energy.  Clear the fog from my mind.  Bring vitality back to my body.  Help me to regain interest in life.  Show me how to reach out for help when I need it.

This is the hardest thing I’ve had to do, and I can’t possibly do it without your help.  Help me to grow and gain wisdom from this experience.  But most of all, help me not to give up on myself, on You or on love.  I believe that You have created me to love and to be loved.  Give me your courage to open my heart to the possibility of loving again, loving faithfully and joyfully and fully.  In your name I pray.  Amen.

I pray that you will find miraculous healing as you seek God’s plan for your life – His plan to prosper you and to give you a hope and future!

Here are Four Prayers for Healing you can use today to speak life and hope into your situation.

A Prayer for Personal Healing

God, you know me so well. You created me. You know the number of hairs on my head, and you even know the thoughts conceived in my heart before I ever vocalize them. You’ve told us to come to you and ask for every need of life. You are Jehovah-Rapha, the God who heals, and you have the final word on my destiny, the number of years I’ll live and serve you on earth.

I’m coming to you today as your child, longing to hear from you and asking for your divine healing. There’s so much I don’t understand about life. But I do know that with one touch, one word, you can make me whole. Please forgive me of my sins, cleanse me of my unrighteousness, and begin your healing from the inside out.

I don’t always know what your will is Lord, especially in times like now, when I desperately seek your face. I offer you no promises, no bargains, no deals to exchange for my health. I simply bow my heart before you to tell you the desire of my heart: that I want to spend as many years as I can loving you here, loving others, and wanting to become more like you. However you choose to accomplish that is up to you—and okay with me. If you use doctors to provide healing, give them wisdom to know what to do. Regardless of how you accomplish it, the healing you give is always miraculous. And you deserve all the praise.

I absolutely believe you have the power to heal. You demonstrated that on earth, and you still heal in miraculous ways today. Even when my faith is weak, you say it is enough, and my love for you is strong. And I know you already hold my heart and life in your hands. It’s up to you. If I can bring you more glory through healing, then that’s what I ask for. That’s what I desire.

But if your answer is no, or not now, I know that your grace is sufficient for me. Ultimately, I want your will to be my will. I look forward to spending an eternity with you. But Lord, if you have planned still more for me to do here on this earth, I not only need and want your physical healing, Lord, but a thorough, deep-down cleansing and strengthening—a whole-hearted renewal of all that I am. Because all that I am is yours. Use this trial to strengthen me from a “what-if” faith to a “no-matter-what” faith. And no matter what, I choose to honor you and give you glory.
In Jesus’s name, Amen.

How to Pray for Healing – Max Lucado

A Short Prayer for Healing for Friends

Lord, your Word speaks promises of healing and restoration and I thank you for the miracles you still perform today. Today I claim those promises over my friend. I believe in the healing power of faith and prayer and I ask you to begin your mighty work in the life of my friend. Please reach down and surround my friend with supernatural peace and strength and give her the faith to believe that all things are possible for you. Protect her from Satan’s lies and discouragement and let her miraculous healing begin. Amen.

A Prayer for Healing and Grace

Dear God,
We confess our need for you today. We need your healing and your grace. We need hope restored. We need to be reminded that you work on behalf of those you love, constantly, powerfully, completely. Forgive us for trying to fix our situations all on our own. Forgive us for running all different directions and spinning our wheels to find help, when true help and healing must be found first in You. Forgive us for forgetting how much we need you, above everyone and everything else. We come to you and bring you the places we are hurting. You see where no one else is able to fully see or understand. You know the pain we’ve carried. The burdens. The cares. You know where we need to be set free. We ask for your healing and grace to cover every broken place. Every wound. Every heartache. Thank you that you are Able to do far more than we could ever imagine. Thank you for your Mighty Power that acts on behalf of your children. We reach out to you, and know that you are restoring and redeeming every place of difficulty, every battle, for your greater glory. Thank you that you will never waste our pain and suffering. We love you. We need you today. 
In Jesus’ Name, Amen

A Prayer for Healing Sick Family and Friends

Lord Jesus, thank you that you love . I know that you hate what their illness is doing to them/me. I ask that you would heal this disease, that you would have compassion and bring healing from all sickness.

Your word says in Psalm 107:19-20 that when we call out to you the Eternal one you will give the order, heal and rescue us from certain death. In the Bible, I have read of miraculous healing and I believe that you still heal the same way today. I believe that there is no illness you cannot heal after all the bible tells of you raising people from the dead so I ask for your healing in this situation.

I also know from my experience of life on earth that not everyone is healed. If that happens here than keep my heart soft towards you, help me to understand your plan and help me to be excited about heaven.

God, I thank you that belongs to you and that you are in control of everything that happens from our first breath to our last sigh.
Amen.
~ Wendy van Eyck
