Broken
Brokenness is a feeling that is very painful. I know because I have been there. The apostle Paul has been there as well.
"To keep me from becoming conceited because of these surpassingly great revelations, there was given me a thorn in my flesh, a messenger of Satan, to torment me. Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me. But he said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.' Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong."1 (2 Corinthians 12:7-10)
Even Paul went through difficulties. God allows us to be broken so that in our weakness He can be strong. Your brokenness is a time that God can shine through. We are forced to rely on Him and trust that in the end everything will be alright. There is hope for you in your brokenness.

Suggested prayer:
Father God, I am broken and I need You to mend me. Fill me with Your Spirit and guide me to see Your will and direction. Take this pain from me and give me hope. Use me for Your Glory. Your will be done, Amen
Please don't let this be the only place you seek help or the last place. Don't take my word for it. Read the Bible and see for yourself. Also, it is always best to have a Christian friend to talk to personally.
