10 Scriptures to Help You Through a Break Up

 
When a relationship doesn’t work out it can be very challenging having to adjust back to life without that person. Depending on how long and how serious the relationship and commitment was, the time it takes you to move forward will vary. I had one serious break up during college with a young lady that I one time believed I was going to marry.
 
Even though I was the one that ended the relationship, I still had times after the break up that I second-guessed my decision. It was during that time I had to turn to the Word of God to help me through that season of adjusting back to life without that person. I had to trust God’s leading regarding His future plan for my life.
 
If you have been broken up with, then God’s word will help you remember that God is in control and that the best is yet to come.
 
Here are the 10 scriptures that helped me during that season of my life:
 
1. Proverbs 3:5-6 “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will straight your paths.”
 
2. Psalm 34:18 “The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit.”
 
3. Revelation 21:4 “He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall their be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.”
 
4. John 14:27 “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the World gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.”
 
5. Isaiah 41:10 ““Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.”
 
6. Deuteronomy 31:6 “Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; He will never leave you nor forsake you.”
 
7. Isaiah 55:8 “’For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,’ declares the Lord.”
 
8. Psalm 27:14 “Wait on the Lord, be of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart: wait, I say, on the Lord.”
 
9. 1 Corinthians 14:33 “For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace.“
 
10. 1 Corinthians 13: 4-8 “Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. “
 
 
Going through a breakup is never easy, but when we turn our focus to God and mediate on the promises of His word, we are able to be comforted in a tough time. His word promises that He has good plans for you (Jer 29:11), that you cannot even dream up all the good things that God has prepared for those who love Him (1 Cor 2:9), and that there is a future hope for you that will not be cut off (Prov 23:18). Take heart! God is with you.
