Prayers of hope and comfort for those without Valentine
By Lynette Kittle
Bible reading: “He heals the broken ones and unites their wounds” – Pasulum 147:3
Read or listen to the following:
Sadly, heartbreak is an emotion that many of us know well. Unfortunately, especially when Valentine’s Day rolls every year, it is felt by countless individuals, and many are not prepared for the sadness and despair that stirs themselves within themselves. I’ll notice.
Similarly, heartache can be provided in a variety of ways, including loss of spouse and romantic interest through death, divorce, or dishonesty. Some experience it through the sorrow of love.
Heartache is a very real feeling, and is a very common experience for many people in today’s world, especially reinforced on days when everyone except them seems to be celebrated with love It seems to be.
Similarly, the sharp loss, pain and sadness of the mind are very unique and personal experiences for the individual facing it. Grief is so deep that it cannot be expressed through words to express the depth and level that has often been experienced.
Who can repair our broken heart?
A broken heart cannot be bandaged or repaired truly treated by stitching or staples, medicinal or human hands, but it takes divine intervention to alleviate the suffering.
When it comes to mental issues and circumstances, they run deep within us, and God is the only person who truly understands the depths of our heart breaking and pain. He is also the only person who can make it perfect again.
Choosing to believe in God cares about us
Believing that no one can truly help us when we break, often leads us to drive away God. When we do so, our soul enemies go to work to convince us that God is responsible for opposing us and even causing sorrow in our lives. Masu.
Lies to us about God’s love is one of the devil’s specialties, especially when it comes to pointing his fingers at him and his personality. But Romans 8:31 reassures us that he is for us. “So what do we say in response to these things? If God is there for us, who can oppose us?”
Rather than chasing after the enemy of our souls, pointing our fingers towards God and denounce him for our sorrows, we will come first, and give us his comfort and I want to recognize that I have provided compassion.
2 Corinthians 1:3-4 says, “Praise the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of Caring who comforts us in all our troubles, and the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. Praise the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. The issue of comfort we ourselves receive from God.”
I receive God’s proximity
God tells us, especially in our broken state, that we are near us, but we often see God as far away from us in an age of heartfelt pain and suffering. I believe that, but in reality, he is very close. Psalm 145:18 reminds us that “The Lord is approaching everyone who calls him, and everyone who calls him to the truth.”
So, as we begin to find ourselves doubting God’s intimacy, Ephesians 2:13 explains why we can be sure he is near. “But now you, once far away in Christ Jesus, have come near the blood of Christ.”
God is someone who looks at us in our heartache. Because he is nearby and can renew and recover our broken hearts. As Psalm 34:18 explains, “The Lord will approach the broken ones, and will save those who have been crushed by spirit.”
Let’s pray:
Dear Father,
Valentine’s Day often celebrates Valentine’s Day and emphasizes the sadness of not having Valentine’s Day to spend time, so open our hearts and give us the love you give us enough I’ll receive it.
Help us receive the hope and comfort that comes from you. Knowing that you are our eternal Valentine’s Day, reinforce your love and proximity and create a new mind.
Lead us to love those around us who may be facing heartache and sadness on Valentine’s Day. Let your love pass through us and bring hope and comfort to them.
In the name of Jesus, Amen
