A Broken Relationship

How can I face the future Lord, for my heart is broken. The love of my life has grown weary of our relationship and has walked away from me and I am heart-broken Lord.

Why did this have to happen? I thought that You had brought us together. I thought that our love for each other had been made in heaven. But now they have gone and my heart is broken.

I pray that You will help me to face up to what has happened and not to hanker for something that might have been. Help me to look forward to the future and not regret the past. And today Lord – now, I put my trust in You for I want You to guide my path, for I know that when I follow my own heart it always ends in distress.

Lead me Lord. Lead me in the way that I should go. Heal my fractured heart and I pray that instead of bitterness being the fruit of this experience, that You will bring beauty for brokenness and replace despair with Your joy. Into Your hand I commit my life, my future, my relationships, and myself.

Draw me ever closer into secure communion with Yourself. Thank You that You really do wipe away every tear from our eyes. I love You Lord,

Amen.
