Close to the Brokenhearted: Grow Closer to God After a Breakup

DAY 2 OF 6

Day 2: God Will Strengthen You

During tough seasons it’s hard to muster up the strength to move, to complete day to day tasks, or continue walking in your God-given assignment. Dealing with heartache can be daunting and discouraging. It can also make you fearful of trusting again or fearful of the future. But in His Word, God is telling us not to be afraid or discouraged because He is with us. When He says this, He does not give any exceptions. He does not say, “Don’t be afraid, for I am with you except when your heart has been broken.” He gives no exclusion; even in the most painful situations, He is with us. He is our God. That is good news, my friend, because God is the only one who can give us strength when we have none.

Speaking from a person who dealt with heartbreak, my parents couldn’t give me strength; my brothers or sister couldn’t give me strength; my closest friend couldn’t give me strength. I had to put my trust in God and look to Him for the strength I needed. And in Him, we are always victorious because He is always victorious. We are more than conquerors (Romans 8:37). God will give you the strength to overcome this situation. You can walk through this season of your life and come out with victory if you allow God to walk with you.

How do you do this, you ask? You make good small decisions every day. Make the decision to pray every day. Make a decision to find at least one thing to be thankful for every day. Make the decision to meditate on scripture and not what happened to you everyday. If you do these things, you will find God’s strength swelling up inside of you.

Declare: I am not discouraged because you are my God. I am not afraid because you are with me. When I am down and weak, I find my strength in you. I will overcome this heartbreak because your victorious right hand holds me up in this season of my life.
