Satan wants this painful situation to destroy my faith in You and my relationships with people close to me. But I know that Your purpose is to bring something good out of every situation. Work within me a heart that forgives those who’ve done wrong against me. And enable me to forgive myself for lapses in judgment, wrong actions, and poor decisions.

I don’t know where I am and I don’t know where to go from here. Father, bring me back my spiritual senses. Renew my hope in You and lift me from this broken state. Remind me of Your unfailing presence and love. I thank You for Your mercies that fall fresh on me every morning. Bring comfort to my broken heart. Let me rise from this pain with strong and free wings like that of an eagle. You are my hope and enabler. I run to You today. Amen.

Help me remember that I am complete in You. I will always be found in You. Restore me to wholeness. Remind me of all that I have as Your child. Friends may leave me but You never will. My partner may have rejected me but I am always accepted and loved by You. I may lack a lot of things right now but You will always be sufficient. You will meet my needs. You will be what I need, whatever the situation may be. Take away the discouraging lies of the enemy that harass me day and night. Keep me secure in Your love. I trust in You. Amen.

There’s no joy when I wake up in the morning. I’ve lost passion for life. I have no strength to face the day. My broken heart wants to retreat in isolation. Father, rescue me. Bring me out of this pit of depression and weakness. Bring strength back to my bones. Enable me to do what I must to overcome the pain and difficulty. Remind me that no matter how painful this may be, it will pass. Better opportunities will come. Better friends will cross my path. Family relationships will improve. Failures will be stepping stones to success. Stay by my side Lord and uphold me. In Jesus’ strong name I pray. Amen.

You promised that there will be wisdom, strength, and escape in times of need. So I ask for guidance today. Give me the wisdom to make sense of my difficult situation. Lead me to people who can support and enlighten me. Keep me away from those who are eager to keep me down. Surround me with positivity in this time of negativity. Give me the strength to recover from the hurt. I resist the temptation to surrender to brokenness. With Your grace, I won’t let fears and uncertainties cripple me from moving forward. Help me, my God. Amen.

Almighty Father, heal my broken heart with Scripture truths. Help me see that Your Word is trustworthy. Clear my mind and heart of thoughts that cast doubt upon Your goodness and love for me. People have broken my trust and dreams. This has left me struggling with negative thoughts all the time. I don’t know who to trust. I can no longer believe what people say. I’ve learned a painful lesson and now it’s hard to trust people. I can’t see the good in them. Don’t let this broken heart dull my senses. Remind me once more that Your plans are good. There are still good people out there. Help me recall all the blessings You’ve given me. Help me remember all the good things the people around me have done for me. Father, clear my thoughts and feelings today. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.
