Prayer to soothe a broken heart

“Lord, I don’t know the burden each person is carrying. But you do. I pray that You will visit them in their weaknesses, making them valiant and strong. I pray that in their pain, you provide them with peace. May you extend your loving arms around each and every soul and bring them close to your chest and feel loved. Let them know they are safe and covered by your grace. I pray that in moments of doubt, you will show them the way. Let them carry them when their legs are too unstable to keep moving. May you guide them when they feel lost.

I pray Lord that in every broken heart you will place your healing hand. May you breathe life into their weary bones and remind them that they are in you. I ask you to help people to rest. May you still their minds and allow them to stop fighting and live. May you speak to the life of every person questioning you. I pray that you will manifest yourself in a powerful and undeniable way, and that wherever there is fear, you will supply courage.

I hope you heal our hearts even when they seem hopelessly broken. I believe you are currently picking up and counting every piece. That you will heal them and put the pieces back together again, and that their hearts will be even more beautiful than before. I pray that you will help people to stand firm in their convictions and their promises, and that you will free them from bondage and the heavy yoke they continue to carry. I ask you to remind them that your yoke is easy and your burden is light. That don’t need to stay in heavy chains.

I ask you to give them the peace that passes all understanding. I pray for broken families and injured children. For sick babies and tired mothers. By working parents in their immense, extended workloads. I pray that you will light the dark paths and help us to fix our eyes on you when the whirlwind of chaos is swirling around us.

I ask you to calm the noise of the world so that we can hear you. May you help us to believe the things they say about you, not just to others, but to ourselves. I pray that you will help us to forgive us for our mistakes as you forgive us. May we learn to walk in your truth and freedom, no matter what life circumstances surround us. I pray that when we feel lost, you will keep us close to your heart. And that when we lose sight of our way, you remind us that we are never lost when we are with you.

Lord, your people suffer. We are fighting. We are suffering. And all this you see. You have already gone ahead of us and you will go behind us, and we know there is not enough distance where your hand cannot reach us. Thank you for your grace and redemption. Thank you for in any situation your love never fails. Help us to live in these truths and to stand firm against the enemy. Thank you for always fighting for us and interceding on our behalf. I ask you for every person reading this. May you cover them, wrap them, heal them. May you comfort and strengthen them and radiate your love in and through them.

In your holy and mighty name, Amen.”

Prayer to Soothe the Wounded Heart

“Lord Jesus,
you know my sadness,
this sadness that invades my heart,
and you know its origin.
Today I introduce myself to you
and I ask you, Lord, to help me,
because I can’t go on like this anymore.

I know that you invite me to live in peace,
with serenity and joy,
even in the midst of everyday difficulties.
So I ask you to put your hands
in the wounds of my heart,
that make me so sensitive to problems,
and free me from the tendency to sadness and melancholy,
who take care of me.

Today I ask you that your grace restore my story,
so that I don’t live enslaved
by the bitter memory
of the painful events of the past.
As they already passed,
there are no more,
I give you everything I went through and suffered.

I want to forgive myself and forgive,
so that your joy begins to flow in me.

I give you the sorrows joined to the worries
and the fears of tomorrow.
That tomorrow hasn’t arrived either,
so it only exists in my imagination.
I must live only for today,
and learn to walk in your joy in the present moment.

Increase my trust in you,
so that my soul may grow in joy.
You are God and Lord of history and life,
of our lives.
So take my existence
and that of the people I love,
with all our sufferings,
with all our needs,
and that, with the help of your mighty love,
may the virtue of joy grow in us.

Amen.”

Bonus – Tips to calm the heart

In cognitive behavioral therapy we learn that our thoughts generate our feelings which generate our actions. In other words, the root of everything is in our mind.

So, in addition to saying a prayer to relieve your heart, you can do some activities that will help you change or distract your thoughts and, consequently, calm down.

Check out 9 tips on how to calm your heart below.

control breathing

Deep, controlled breathing is one of the most effective techniques for reducing anger, agitation, and anxiety.

Also, by focusing on the air coming in through your nose and out through your mouth, you stop thinking about bad things and just live in the here and now.

Learn about breathing techniques and see how you can bring some peace to your life in a very simple way.

watch your thoughts

As we said earlier, our feelings are generated by our thoughts. So don’t let your mind wander by itself, going from one bad thought to an even worse one. Master your mind!

A good way to do this is to stop with the “what if”. Every time you notice that your mind is already making a hypothesis, cut back on the spot by remembering what really happened and that you can’t go back in the past and do it differently. You have to understand how to deal with what you have in front of you right now.

Pre-occupation is useless because most of the time, our suspicions or guesses about what will happen are not confirmed.

When we are really in a risky situation, we take action, we don’t have time to think. That is, when what worries you happens – and if it does – you will know exactly how to act. No need to spend your precious time worrying.

Listen to music

As the saying goes: he who sings his evils amazes! Put on your favorite music and throw yourself into it: sing, dance, jump, scream.

But beware: this is not a good time to put on sad songs, huh?! Listen to lively music that makes you want to move your body.

do yoga

In addition to being an excellent exercise for the body, yoga also helps our mind a lot. The endorphin produced by this exercise is a holy medicine to help you feel calm and relaxed.

It is already more than proven that yoga has extremely positive effects on people who suffer from anxiety disorders and…
