He is like a father to us, tender and sympathetic to those who reverence him. For he knows we are but dust. Psalm 103:13-14(TLB)

There are times when all we need to hear that someone understands and that what we are going through matters. Sometimes when we hear someone's issues we reject the pain attached to the circumstance and try to fix the circumstance without addressing what's going on in the heart. The truth is without sorting out what's going on in your heart, attempting to change the circumstance will be ineffective.
With God we are able to not only communicate our concerns to Him but we are also able to express the pain in our hearts. The Lord is amazing at taking all that we are feeling in the moment, sort out our pain and restore our minds by giving us the clarity to recognize that He is with us and that He always has been. Being the loving and caring God that He is He longs to lift heads back up with His love and set us on the right path again.
The enemies objective is to fill our minds with stress and keep us anxious about everything we are facing. Our issues don't define us but God does, we don't have to be bound by our pain. We are Gods creation, He is aware of where we are and the condition of our heart. Things will always work out in our favor when we stand on His promises. Your pain matters to God , your broken heart matters to God and the truth is that your are precious in His sight, No matter how deep your pain is or how overwhelming your circumstances are He is present.
So when you begin to feel like you've exhausted all of your abilities this is the perfect moment to lean on the Lord for total restoration. Independent of God we ultimately struggle to keep our head above water but when cling to Him there is nothing that we face that will keep us from overcoming our pain. Being honest about our pain allows God to rebuild our broken pieces so that we become wiser and stronger.
