My long-term relationship has ended a little over a month ago. I have prayed for God to mend it, but recent events with my ex make it seem as if we won’t be getting back together. He said he wanted to get back last Monday, but then a few days later (last Thursday), changed his mind. If you want more on what happened, you can check my thread in the Spirituality section.

I’m very hurt and broken-hearted. I feel lonely as I don’t have many friends at the college I attend. I would like some prayers to heal my heart so I can be happy again as there doesn’t seem to be a point in praying for him to come back.
 
I think this prayer from St. Teresa of Avila would be good for you. . . I’ll have you in my prayers.

O Saint Teresa, seraphic Virgin, beloved spouse of thy crucified Lord, thou who on earth didst burn with a love so intense toward thy God and my God, and now dost glow with a brighter and purer flame in paradise: obtain for me also, I beseech thee, a spark of that same holy fire which shall cause me to forget the world, all things created, and even myself; for thou didst ever avidly desire to see Him loved by all men. Grant that my every thought and desire and affection may be continually directed to doing the will of God, the supreme Good, wheter I am in joy or in pain, for He is worthy to be loved and obeyed forever. Obtain for me this grace, thou who art so powerful with God; may I be all on fire, like thee, with the holy love of God. Amen.
 
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among women and
blessed is the Fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners
now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
 
It’s sad that you are enduring this roller-coaster of confused and distressed emotions.

Lord please give healing, courage, and wisdom to Alyssa as she tries to cope with her sadness and loss. Please help her to know how to move forward.
If the relationship is wholesome and holy for her life and his, please help them to find a way towards a healthy balanced and mutually committed relationship.
If, as it seems, the relationship is over, please flood them both with healing; and lead them at the right time to the best person with whom to share their lives.
Please be mindful of Alyssa’s health and welfare as she recovers from her loss and loneliness. Please help her to trust in You, especially in those moments when emotion seems unbearable.

Thank You, Lord
 
Lord cushion our hearts in our times of hurt and sorrow. Give us the strength to mend our broken hearts and help us live as You wish us to. Lord hear our prayer.

Lord, please send your Holy Spirit to Alyssa to comfort and heal her broken heart. May she center her life on You and think of You more than anyone or anything else. Help Alyssa to accept her circumstances with abandonment to your Holy Will and help her to focus on her prayers and school work. May she find comfort and strength in receiving you in the sacraments and through deep prayer. Help her to meet a good Catholic man in the future with whom she can share her faith and with whom she may share in life’s joys. Thank you, Lord, for hearing my prayer.

This is a really good prayer. I also offer it for you and pray that God may give you inner peace and guide you to the right person He has picked out for you. God bless!
 
Remembering you in prayer today Alyssa. I know sorrow comes in waves and sometimes is unbearably acute. May God heal your heart and lead you to a happy future.
 
I am praying for you

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 with this confidence, I fly unto You, O virgin of virgins, my Mother. To You 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
