We join you in bringing these two burdens before our heavenly Father and we thank you for praying in the name of Jesus Christ, for it is only through Him that we have access to God and it is only through Him that anyone can be saved.
We lift up the girl you mentioned who may need salvation. It is the heart of God that all would be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth, for He does not wish that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. We pray that if she does not yet know Jesus as her Lord and Savior, the Holy Spirit would draw her, open her eyes to her need for Him, and bring her to faith. As it is written, For God so loved the world, that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life. John 3:16 and that if you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. Romans 10:9 There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved. Acts 4:12 We pray that God would place people in her life to share the gospel with her in truth and love, and that she would respond with a repentant and believing heart.
We also bring before the Lord your desire to be released from attachment to another person and for her to be removed from your memory in a way that you no longer feel bound to her. We understand how painful and distracting an ungodly attachment or lingering affection can be, and we pray that God would heal your heart and renew your mind. He heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds. Psalm 147:3 We ask Him to create in you a clean heart and to help you take every thought captive. As Scripture teaches us, throwing down imaginations and every high thing that is exalted against the knowledge of God, and bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ 2 Corinthians 10:5 and to be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Romans 12:2
We encourage you to not simply ask God to erase a memory, but to ask Him to redeem your thoughts and affections so that your heart is fully set on Christ. We are called to think on what is true and pure and lovely, Finally, brothers, whatever things are true, whatever things are honorable, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report; if there is any virtue, and if there is any praise, think about these things. Philippians 4:8 When we dwell on Christ and seek His will, unhealthy soul ties and attachments lose their power. If this attachment involved romantic feelings outside of a godly courtship aimed toward marriage between a man and a woman, or any physical intimacy outside of marriage which God calls fornication, we encourage you to confess that before the Lord and turn from it, trusting in His forgiveness and grace to walk in purity.
Let us pray together.
Father, in the name of Jesus Christ we come before You. We pray for this young woman who may need salvation, that You would have mercy on her, draw her to Yourself, convict her of sin and reveal Your Son to her so that she may believe and be saved. We pray for our brother who is asking for freedom, that You would guard his heart and mind in Christ Jesus, heal any wound of attachment, help him to surrender this person and these feelings to You, and fill him with Your peace and purpose. Help him to walk in obedience, to fix his eyes on You, and to trust You with his future and with any future godly marriage You may have for him. Cleanse him, strengthen him, and let Your will be done in both of these lives. We ask this in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our way, our truth and our life, for no one comes to the Father except through Him. John 14:6 Amen.

Thank you for sharing this honest prayer with us. We hear your care for this girl and also the weight you are carrying as you want to be free from an attachment that is lingering.
It is good to bring both of these to the Father just as you did. Wanting someone else to know Jesus shows love for her, and wanting your own heart to find peace shows you want to walk well before God. Those longings matter to Him.
We have found that trying hard to force a memory away often keeps it closer. Healing more often comes as we gently invite Christ into those moments when the thoughts come, asking Him to take that place in our hearts and to reshape how we carry the memory. Over time, as we lean on Him as our secure base and stay engaged in the life He has given us today, the grip of that attachment can loosen.
One small step that may help when the thoughts surface is to pause, name it honestly before God, entrust her to His care again, and then turn your attention to one faithful next thing in front of you, whether work, prayer, or time with trusted believers.
Father, we lift this girl to You and ask that You draw her to Yourself and make Your salvation known to her as only You can. And we lift our brother to You, asking for quietness of heart, for wisdom, and for Your healing presence to fill the places where attachment has been painful. Lead him day by day and keep him close to You. In Jesus name, amen.

Heal Me Lord Jesus Spirit, Soul, And Body

Beloved of All
Your prayer is gracious and right before God, and we join our hearts with yours in bringing it to the throne of grace.
It is a holy thing to plead for the salvation of another, for all the nations need healing, and there is an abundance of healing power in Jesus Christ and His salvation. The Scripture says the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations, and the least thing about Christ is healing. His leaves change the life blood and make the nature other than it was before. So we pray with you that if this soul is yet without Christ, the Lord would open her eyes and ears, draw her by His Word, for faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God, and bring her to that pardon which is found in Jesus Christ alone. There is no other way of salvation, for healing and forgiveness are placed in happy conjunction and both bestowed on the Lord's people. When Jesus healed the sick of the palsy He said, Son be of good cheer, your sins are forgiven you. Pardon and healing were one. May the Lord grant her that same pardon, that she may know herself saved and go in peace.
And concerning the burden you carry, the attachment that lingers in memory, we pray also for you. The Lord healeth the broken in heart and bindeth up their wounds. He knows the great ill of a broken heart and He alone can do the work of healing. It is God only who does it, and He does it through Christ. We ask that He would purge the memory of what would ensnare you, that He would keep your mind stayed upon Him, and that He would give you grace to walk in purity and peace. If the attachment would lead away from holiness, pray that the Lord would cut it away and set your affections more fully upon Christ, who is the great Physician. None shall say to the healing flood of His love, Up to here can you go and no further. The utmost length of human sickness can be reached by Him.
Take your confession to the Lord and find pardon, and healing will come from the pardoning hand. Go in peace, attend to your ordinary duties, and hear the Saviour saying to you, Go in peace. It is heaven begun below to possess the peace of God which passes all understanding.
We pray that the Lord will save that dear soul for His name's sake, and that He will heal your heart, renew your mind, and keep you walking in the way of holiness until He brings you forth as gold tried in the fire. In the name of Jesus Christ our only hope, Amen.
