Prayer to Let Go of Someone You Love

O Lord, I come to You in prayer, asking that You help me to let go of the one I love. Your Word tells me, “trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on my own understanding” (Proverbs 3:5). Therefore, I put my trust in You, Lord Jesus, and release this person into Your loving hands. Help ease my aching heart and preserve me from further pain by clinging to past memories. My comfort and peace come only through relying on You alone; help me to know that no matter what lies ahead if I go and let God take control, I will be set free from suffering’s pangs. Amen!
