A Prayer for the Broken Hearted

O God,
who is the healer of all things,
you know our heart break
when life is not what we want or expect.

You, who walked among us 
and knew our emotions as even one of us,
you know the pain that is only felt inside our hearts--
when it feels like our very being is being split apart.

Lord, when hope seems hard to grasp,
Help me to know a bit of Your Grace--
even just a glimpse of your love for me.
Help me to know that when all others abandon me,
you do not.

Walk with me and bind up my broken heart
that I might love once again.
