I know there are so many things out there that are probably more worthy of prayer than this, but I am struggling so much right now with a broken heart. I’m 32, and this is the first time I’ve ever fallen in love, and, therefore the first time I’ve had my heart completely destroyed. I was certain he was the “one” - we met doing pro-life work, had everything in common, had a blast together and were best friends instantly. Our time together was the happiest time in my life, and then he broke up with me a few months ago because he was still “in love with his ex girlfriend and was confused”. Now he is already seeing someone new.

To make matters worse, we have a close-knit group of mutual friends and he is already bringing the new girl into the group. I don’t know how to handle it.

If you could please pray for God to remove EVERY shred of feeling that I have toward him, and to see so clearly that he was not the one God had intended for me, I would greatly appreciate it. I’m so very heartbroken. 😦
 
I’m sorry for your loss. It’s never easy ending a relationship, and it’s rough going until the healing takes place. May God be with you in your sorrow and help you through the pain until He reveals His plan to you.
 
I’m so sorry, sydney. I, and many others, know this feeling all too well.

Please allow yourself time to heal, and don’t stop asking the Lord for comfort.
 
From experience I know how you feel, however we dont know Gods plans and I think there is also something very beautiful and instructing about the actual intensity of the experience. It shakens us to our very roots.
I will pray that you can come to terms with the feeling of loss and emptyness, and that your heart may be filled once again and soon!
 
Ugh, heartache stinks.😦 Will pray that you will find the “right” one.

I’m sorry to hear this, however he was not the one. If he can break up with you because he has feelings for an “ex”, yet is seeing someone new, he was not being entirely honest nor was he ready for a relationship. I know it’s hard to see it now, but there is an honest and faithful person out there. Someday you will see that this man did not have the qualities to be the partner in life for you.

I would not give up all my activities and friends, nor seek to avoid all contact, however I would also begin searching out new groups, activities, interests and friends to incorporate them into your life. With some maneuvering you should be find yourself busy enough to warrant opting out of any of the social activities that cause the most discomfort with this man and his new girlfriend. Remember, you don’t have to give up your pro-life activity or go to another parish, but you need to decide what causes the most discomfort in social situations and plan some other activity, at least some of the time. It will help you move on until the importance diminishes.

He’s really rather insensitive, so it’s best to know this now. Look at this as an opportunity to grow.

**Lord, teach me to be patient - with life, with people, and with myself.

I sometimes try to hurry things along too much, and I push for answers before the time is right.

Teach me to trust Your sense of timing rather than my own and to surrender my will to Your greater and wiser plan.

Help me let life unfold slowly, like the small rosebud whose petals unravel bit by bit, and remind me that in hurrying the bloom along, I destroy the bud and much of the beauty therein.

Instead, let me wait for all to unfold in its own time. Each moment and state of growth contains a loveliness.

Teach me to slow down enough to appreciate life and all it holds.

Amen.**

I am so very sorry (((HUGS)))
I have been there and remember the pain very very well.I know it is a cliche but time is a good healer.For me I had to move away and start afresh.I made new friends and socialised in new circles.It was very hard initially and I wanted to question all my old friend’s about my ex and what he was doing etc.Eventually I became so busy in the new groups I joined I had not realised that time had passed and things gradually got easier.So my advice keep busy start new hobbies.I joined quiz teams and learned new skills and helped out at my new local club and made lots of new friends.They soon became very good friends.
It is my honour to pray for you and I pray God will heal your broken heart and you are able to move on.
God bless 🙂

Lord please place Your healing hand upon our friend and heal her pain.I ask You would comfort her and grant her strength to move forward in her life.Please may she feel Your love for her.I ask You to guide her and comfort her.Thankyou Lord for hearing our prayers Amen

Memorare (Prayer to Our Lady)
Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to your protection, implored your help, or sought your intercession, was left unaided.
Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto you, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother. To you do I come, before you I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in your mercy, hear and answer me. Amen
 
Thank you again for all who prayed - I’m already feeling a sense of peace today - especially after being reminded that a person who would be so insensitive as to bring his new girlfriend around when he knows he broke my heart…that this person has no place in my life. In a way, I think that may have been a gift to me from God - a very clear insight into his character (or LACK of character) which will hopefully help me get over him more quickly!

May you all have a most blessed Christmas 🙂

That’s a real rounder, all right. :mad: You were fortunate that he showed his true colors before you got any more deeply involved/committed. I know it hurts, though. I will pray that the peace you feel continues to grow.
 
May God bless you and heal your wounded heart.
Wishing you all the best for Christmas

Praying for you during this difficult time. God has great plans for you right around the corner…
 
Our Father, Who art in heaven
Hallowed be Thy Name;
Thy kingdom come,
Thy will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread,
and forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us;
and lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil. Amen.
