Reading scriptures on healing can help mend a broken heart. When a relationship doesn’t work out, it can be very challenging to adjust to a life without that person. The amount of time the relationship lasted and how serious the commitment was will determine how long it takes you to move forward. Here, I’ll share 10 scriptures on healing you can reflect on after a bad breakup.

Looking Back on a Serious Breakup

I had one serious breakup in college with a young lady who, at one time, I believed I was going to marry. Even though I was the one who ended the relationship, there were still times after the breakup when 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 plans for my life.

If a recently ended relationship is putting you down, then God’s word will help you remember that God is in control and that the best is yet to come.
