Prayer For the Broken Hearted

Softly breathe on weary soul Your breath, my King, Who paid our toll Rest now, Your Hand, on weary head Renewed, in hope, You'll raise the dead Speak, I pray Thee, Father God, A dream of Heaven, of where You Trod Hold the broken, dry the tear, To those who cry, oh meet us here! Softly Jesus, over each head, Your gifts, sweet dreams, upon each bed. Oh, Lord, please lift the gaze to You And gently light the pathway through I pray You lift the broken heart, Of peace, love hope, You would impart. Be with my friends in dark of night, Please hold them Abba, let shine Your Light. Amen

So lovely a prayer! So heartfelt. Once one loses someone integral to their life the heart indeed breaks and God’s Spirit holds comfort. I lost some family - grandparents, cousin, aunt, uncle but I didn’t live close though they held my heart…but when Mom died that was a heartbreak.

It's true Kim, once we lose someone dear to us, we so hold to God's comfort. I too have lost many relatives, my grandparents, uncles, aunts, but when I lost my dad, I became more serious about faith in God. My mom, my beloved Johnny, a cousin who was like a sibling to me when we were little, two sisters and my brother have all passed within the last ten years. I know of so many grappling with such deep loss of late. I can only pray that God reaches out to them right now, wherever they are. This world is so beautiful, but also so sad for so many.

A lovely prayer dear B.J. When we pray for others, our prayers will quickly be heard. Submitting all broken hearts to the loving and caring hands of God is a godly gesture. I imbibe the spirit of this prayer and join with you in your prayer to heal all broken hearts including mine and yours!

Oh, Valsa, your words are so encouraging, thank you so much. I hope they are, and that the Lord's comfort upon the precious broken hearts is a sheer amazement to them, a peace and comfort beyond understanding. This earth is so beautiful, but so broken. Where can we find hope if not in our God, our King? Thank you for joining in with my prayer, and I say amen, healing for your broken heart, as well as my own, thank you! Hugs to you dear sweet friend <3

Regina, you and your family are in my prayers, and others in my family are praying for you all as well. Your precious hearts are lifted before the King of kings and Lord of lords in your horrendous grief. I don't understand this earth's sadness at all, why things happen as they do, but I pray God comforts each of you, and helps you to focus on heaven where you know that Brian is in absolute joy. I know even then, it is so hard. Hugs to you beautiful precious friend.

Bill, your visit and words are such a blessing to me. This earth has so much sadness and heartbreak, and I know prayer is all we often have to offer. Sometimes it makes me upset, wishing to do more, and yet, even Jesus asked His disciples to pray, the Son of God let us know that prayer is the best thing we can do. I am so honored by your fave, thank you so much. God bless you as well :)

You're superwoman, that's for certain <3 Take care of yourself my sweet friend and thank you so much for your visit and uplifting words. Hugs to you Judy :) <3

Thank you Stephan, for your visit and such kind words. I'm happy to know that this poem has blessed you, and I hope you had sweet dreams. The source of hope and peace that comes from our Lord is the only one that can comfort us, I cannot imagine enduring the heartbreaks of this life and losses without His promises and comfort. God bless you :)

A beautiful prayer Bj, for those of us who are or have been broken hearted. I’m still recovering from the worst trauma in my life, when my husband was seriously ill and I almost lost him twice. Thank you, Belle

Bj Legros Kelley
Date: 8/18/2023 9:58:00 PM

Oh Belle, I'm so sorry to hear that your husband and you have gone through such trauma, and I hope he has recovered! My husband scared the wits out of me five years ago, he had a heart attack, and not a little one. To think we could have lost him is horrifying, I was in such shock and terror, I know how you feel. Hugs to you Belle. I am going to pray for you both, pray for my sweetheart too if he comes to your mind. I know the terror, it's so horrible. My heart breaks for the terrible losses some are enduring in their lives right now, our dear Regina McIntosh is one that comes to mind, and on my heart in the loss of her precious SIL. So Very tragic.

What a good write BJ. A broken heart is never ever fun... No matter what pain we go through Jesus is with us through it all. It is hard sometimes for to understand that but He never left out side. What ever you or your friend is going through I pray God brings you peace and comfort knowing he is with you ever step of the way! ~Anna Kaianah

I have a lot of friends going through so much sadness, as we grow older, its inevitable in this life, but the losses of those too young to have departed, well, those are the sadest of all. Loved ones left in absolute brokenhearted shock just breaks my heart. Thank you for your visit Anna, hugs to you sweet girl <3
