Lord, I know I cannot wait for a miracle to happen and for my partner to change their mind and come back to me. I cannot wait in limbo till this pain subsides because it never will, it feels like my life is over and I have nowhere else to turn. I am asking you to send me a sign showing me how we get back together. I will follow whatever command you send me Lord, I will pay any price it takes. I am willing to admit where I was wrong and to learn my lesson from this breakup if only I can find a way back. Lord show me the steps I have to follow and I will listen to your word and follow that path. Just tell me Lord what it is I have to do to get back together and I will trust you with my heart and follow your word. This I pray with all my heart. Amen.

Prayer to Get me Through a Breakup
Dear Lord, this is an incredibly hard time for me. I find myself alone when I don’t want to be apart. I am in pain and I feel lost and helpless. I don’t know what happened to cause all this and I don’t want to be in the situation I find myself in. I know that you value love above all else. Lord, you teach us this in the bible and you tell us that we are meant to be together to help each other through life. Right now I am losing sleep. I feel lost and alone and I don’t know where to turn. I am finding it hard to carry on and don’t know how to get through this. I am asking you Lord to be here with me in my time of real emotional need and sadness to help me see a way to get through all of this. The pain and trauma seem endless and I find that I am lost as to how to carry on. I really don’t know how to get through the days and what I am supposed to do and feel. I am in a mess and I know that you love me Lord no matter what happens and I am turning to that source of love now to help me through this time.

Prayer to Help Me Get Over a Break-Up
Dear God You know I have been struggling to get through this extremely difficult time in my life. I do not want to be alone. I want the life back that I had but I realize that I cannot continue like this. I have to get myself back on track and I need your help to do that Lord. I need to accept the way my life is at the moment and I need to move on as best I can. I still have times when I feel full of despair and self-loathing and I cannot bear what is ahead of me. I am asking you to shelter me in these moments of despair to carry me for a short time to safety from my own emotions. I know that you have suffered Lord so you know what despair feels like. Please guide my thoughts to a more positive place and help me bear this suffering until gradually it eases. It feels now that the pain will never leave me, but I trust in you my God that you will help me over this time and bring me through to a more peaceful place. Amen.

Prayer for Peace in a Break-Up
I am not the only one in turmoil Lord, this breakup is hurting all of us. I pray that you bring a sense of calm and peace to all of us. I pray that the anger eases and the noise ceases. The conflict around this breakup is hurting all of us more and not letting any of us make good decisions and have the right conversations. Whatever happens next Lord I trust that it is the right thing as I know you will look after me as I have been faithful to your word. In the midst of all of this, I ask that you bring a sense of calm and acceptance to our conversations and that the angst is lessened and we find a way to deal with each other in the love we once had. Teach us Lord to stay calm and to maintain our love for you now and to respect your word by being kind to each other right now as we both need that care and gentleness. I trust you to care for us all right now and show us how to lessen the harm and the damage. This I pray. Amen.
