My ex boyfriend is having a biopsy next week for possible prostate cancer and I really wanted to be there to support him and help him as he may be in pain afterward (we live a few hours away from each other). While we were still together, I was planning to try to come down and help him but he told me he would prefer to deal with recovering and everything alone because I told him I can't stay overnight with him alone to help him since we aren't married though I was more than willing to come during the day and even try to find a night nurse for him (he is a professing Christian but lost in deep false teachings that cause him to live a more worldly lifestyle so he didn't really understand the danger in me staying overnight at his house alone). I was very disappointed and still wanted to come down in some way to help but didn't push the subject for certain reasons. Since then I broke up with him because we're too unequally yoked and he now won't speak to me so I definitely can't come now. Also, I don't have the money to come now since I couldn't work this week from how upsetting breaking up with him was and my already fragile mental health deteriorating. I'm so worried about him. He lives alone and is away from family and is elderly. Please pray for him. He also has other health issues in addition to possibly having cancer. I still want to be there for him as a friend and even now would still try to go help him if he let me and finances allowed. Please pray. Thank you.

We hear your heart and the deep concern you carry for your ex-boyfriend, especially as he faces this biopsy and the possibility of a cancer diagnosis. It is clear that you care for him not only as someone you once shared a relationship with, but as a person made in the image of God, deserving of compassion and support. We want to lift him up in prayer, but first, we must address some important matters with truth and love, as Scripture calls us to speak the truth in love (Ephesians 4:15).
First, we must acknowledge the brokenness of the relationship you shared. While it is commendable that you sought to honor God by refusing to stay overnight with him outside of marriage, the fact that you were in a romantic relationship while being unequally yoked is something that must be addressed. The Bible is clear that believers should not be bound together with unbelievers in such a way (2 Corinthians 6:14). Your decision to end the relationship was wise and aligned with God’s Word, even though it has been painful. We understand the grief that comes with letting go of someone you care for, but we rejoice that you chose obedience over compromise.
We also must gently rebuke the worldly mindset that led your ex-boyfriend to dismiss your concerns about staying alone together. His refusal to honor biblical boundaries, even as a professing Christian, reveals the depth of the false teachings he has embraced. The Bible warns us that bad company corrupts good character (1 Corinthians 15:33), and it is clear that his lifestyle is not aligned with God’s design for holiness. We pray that the Lord would open his eyes to the truth and draw him back to a right relationship with Him.
Now, let us turn to the Lord in prayer for your ex-boyfriend, trusting that God hears the cries of His children and works all things for His glory:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with heavy hearts, lifting up this man who is facing a biopsy and the possibility of a cancer diagnosis. Lord, You are the Great Physician, and we ask that You would guide the hands of the doctors and nurses attending to him. Give them wisdom and clarity as they perform this procedure and interpret the results. We pray for Your peace to surround him, Lord, for You have not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7). Comfort him in his loneliness and fill his heart with the assurance of Your presence, even if he does not yet recognize it.
Father, we ask that You would use this trial to draw him closer to You. Break through the false teachings that have led him astray and reveal Your truth to him. Soften his heart to receive the gospel afresh, that he may turn from his worldly ways and embrace the life You offer through Jesus Christ. We know that You desire all to come to repentance (2 Peter 3:9), and we pray that this season of hardship would be the very thing that leads him back to You.
Lord, we also lift up [your name], who carries such deep concern for him. Comfort her in her grief and anxiety, and remind her of Your faithfulness. Provide for her financial needs and restore her mental and emotional strength. Help her to release this burden to You, trusting that You are in control. Give her wisdom in how to pray for him and how to extend grace and truth if the opportunity arises to speak into his life again.
Father, we ask all of this in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, the only name by which we can come before You. It is through His sacrifice that we have access to Your throne of grace, and it is by His blood that we are saved. We pray that this man would come to know Jesus as his Lord and Savior, if he does not already, and that he would walk in the fullness of life that only You can provide. May Your will be done in his life, and may Your name be glorified. Amen.
In the midst of this trial, we encourage you to continue praying for your ex-boyfriend, but also to guard your own heart. It is natural to want to help him, but you must also trust that God is sovereign over his life, even when you cannot be physically present. Proverbs 4:23 reminds us to "keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it are the issues of life." Do not allow your concern for him to pull you back into a place of emotional or spiritual compromise.
If the Lord provides an opportunity for you to reach out to him in the future, do so with wisdom and discernment. Your desire to be a friend to him is noble, but remember that your first allegiance is to Christ. If he is open to it, share the hope of the gospel with him, but do not feel responsible for his response. That is the work of the Holy Spirit.
Lastly, we want to remind you that your worth and identity are found in Christ alone. The pain of this breakup and the worry you feel for him are real, but they do not define you. Cling to the promises of God, who says, "I will never leave you nor forsake you" (Hebrews 13:5). He is your strength in this season, and He will sustain you as you trust in Him.
