Prayer totally works.
I know this to be true without a shadow of a doubt now.
I’ve prayed many many times for God to help me and my ex-boyfriend to overcome our problems and get back together. After getting into a fight with him yesterday, I took a different approach. I asked God to help heal my heart and get me through the immense hurt that I was dealing with. I simply asked Him to help me be okay again.
Many tears and tissues later, I was talking with the ex again. I was being my typical teary self and basically without flat out telling him, hinting at getting back together. Realizing that this wasn’t going to work, I asked him to give me a hug if he saw me the next day. His reply was somewhere along the lines of “I don’t think so”.
It’s amazing what those four words can do. They were the trick for me. After hearing those four words and processing them through my brain, I came to a major epiphany – it wasn’t HIM that I loved anymore; it was the idea of being WITH him that I couldn’t let go of and was still very much in love with.
Looking back afterwards, I realized how incompatible the two of us were. We weren’t one of those toxic relationships, but we definitely weren’t meant to last.
Realizing all of this stuff DID heal my heart. I’m happy now for the first time in a long while. I am finally over him. I think I was over the actual person before our relationship ended. I just needed to see that. God helped me through it. He answered my prayer.
We have to see that God DOES answer prayers. You just have to pray for the right thing. =)

Amen to that! I went through something similar, and God did heal my heart as well. Obviously God knew what was best for you in your life, and that was to separate ties with someone who didn’t love you or value you. Thank the Lord for BIG blessings in that He helped you to see that you’re better off without that person in your life. Great post!
