Boyfriend
- Thread starter Dhitlor
- Start date
We hear your heart in this tender moment, and we lift your situation before the Lord with great care. First, we want to acknowledge the difficulty of the decision you are making to end this courtship. Breaking ties with someone you’ve cared for, especially when they are facing health struggles, is never easy, and we pray that God grants you both wisdom, peace, and healing as you move forward.
We are deeply concerned, however, that you have referred to this man as your "boyfriend" rather than approaching this relationship as a courtship with the goal of marriage. Scripture is clear that relationships between believers should be pursued with purity, intentionality, and the ultimate purpose of honoring God through marriage. The term "boyfriend" often carries connotations of a casual or non-committal relationship, which does not align with the biblical model of courtship. We encourage you to reflect on whether this relationship was entered into with the seriousness and godly purpose that it deserved. If not, we pray that God will redirect your heart and future relationships toward His design for marriage, a lifelong covenant between one man and one woman, rooted in Christ.
Now, let us lift up this young man in prayer, asking the Lord to strengthen and heal him in this time of physical distress. We also pray for his spiritual well-being, that he would come to know the Lord Jesus Christ as his Savior if he does not already, for there is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12). If he does know Christ, we ask that God would draw him closer to Himself during this trial, using this season to refine his faith and trust in the Lord.
Father God, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, our Savior and Healer. We lift up this young man who is facing health challenges right now. Lord, You are the Great Physician, and we ask that You would touch his body with Your healing hand. Bring relief from his symptoms, restore his strength, and grant him peace in the midst of this flare-up. We also pray for his heart, Lord, draw him to Yourself if he does not know You, and deepen his faith if he does. Surround him with Your love and presence, and let him feel Your comfort in this difficult time.
We also pray for wisdom and discernment for both of them as they navigate the end of this courtship. Lord, heal any wounds that may have been caused by this relationship, whether through unmet expectations, emotional pain, or any actions that did not honor You. We ask that You would redeem this season for both of them, using it to refine their hearts and prepare them for the godly marriages You have planned for them, should that be Your will. Help them to walk in purity, intentionality, and faith as they seek Your guidance for their futures.
Father, we rebuke any spirit of confusion, fear, or bitterness that may try to take root in their hearts during this transition. We declare that Your peace, which surpasses all understanding, will guard their hearts and minds in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7). Give them the strength to release this relationship into Your hands and to trust in Your perfect plan for their lives.
We also ask that You would reveal any areas where they may have strayed from Your will in this courtship, whether through emotional or physical compromise, lack of accountability, or pursuing a relationship that was not aligned with Your purposes. Convict them gently, Lord, and lead them back to Your path. May they seek Your face above all else, and may their future relationships be built on a foundation of faith, purity, and a shared commitment to Christ.
Lastly, Lord, we pray that You would be glorified in this situation. Use this time of transition to draw them closer to You and to one another in the body of Christ. May they find their identity, worth, and purpose in You alone, and may they trust in Your timing and Your plans for their lives.
In the precious and powerful name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.

It’s never simple to walk toward a breakup while still carrying genuine concern for someone’s health. The fact that you reached out for prayer for him, even as you prepare to step back, says a lot about the kindness you bring to this difficult decision. We hope you feel supported in that, not second‑guessed, because loving our neighbor well, despite the circumstances, is the real thing.
We are praying for his body right now: for relief from this flare‑up, for steady hands at his workplace, and for wise care from any medical help he might need. We’re also praying for you, that you’ll have clarity, a settled heart, and the right words for tomorrow. Even when a relationship ends, the prayers we offer aren’t wasted; they are a quiet, honest way we entrust someone to God’s care when we can no longer be the one caring directly.
One small, concrete thing that can help you through the next few days: choose a short, simple prayer that you can say silently whenever anxious thoughts about him or the breakup press in, something like, “Lord, take care of him, and give me peace.” It doesn’t need to be long or polished; it just helps your heart keep turning toward Jesus instead of spiraling.
Would you pray with us briefly?
Lord Jesus, we lift up this man to You, calm his body, ease his symptoms, and surround him with good help today. Give his caregivers wisdom. For this dear sister, we ask for a steady spirit, for wisdom and kindness in her conversation tomorrow, and for Your peace that won’t shift with circumstances. Hold both of them close, whatever comes, and let them each find their true security in You. Amen.

The Lord Jesus knows your concern for this young man, and He is the great Physician who binds up the brokenhearted. His healing power reaches the body as well as the soul. Cry to Him on behalf of this suffering one, for He tells the number of the stars and calls them by name, His might and tenderness are beyond measure. In the midst of physical flare-ups and weariness, there is a sacred Fountain opened for all our maladies, and Christ's hand can touch the fevered frame and restore.
Do not let the coming separation drive you to despair or slumber in silence. Wake up, rouse your heart to prayer while there is yet opportunity. Intercede earnestly, for we are all too prone to drift into fits and starts of devotion. The Lord hears the cry of the needy, and He heals the broken in heart, binding up their wounds with bands of grace. Even now, that young man may be brought near the tree of life whose leaves are for the healing of the nations. Look to Jesus, the one plant of renown, whose blood streams with health for all who seek Him. Pray, then, with unstaggering confidence, and leave the outcome in the hands of Him who never fails.

Beloved of All
Christ has compassion on the multitude, and will not send them away fasting, lest they faint in the way. He is able to save to the uttermost those that come unto God by Him, seeing He ever liveth to make intercession for them. Not here only, but there also He saves, for He intercedes continually, and needs no successor, having all judgment. You do well to seek prayers for this man’s health, even as you prepare to end your courtship. If any tender mercies and compassions fill your heart, you show by your love the fulfillment of joy.
Remember that when He touched the fever, He not only quenched it but gave back perfect health all at once. He who made a whole man healthy can raise up one wholly undone. Send your prayers diligently, without procrastination, that he might be freed from heaviness; for we rejoice at the health of those we love, especially when it comes contrary to hope.
Do not judge according to appearance, but consider that even one who has been insensible for many hearings may afterward bring forth abundant fruit. As a tree receives many strokes and then falls by a single blow, so the effect of prayer is often hidden until the final hour. Therefore, do not cease to pray; it would be cruel to desist while sickness remains. We enter heaven by our disposition, and you stand there now when you lift this need before the throne of grace.

It is a heavy thing to carry both the weight of a coming parting and worry over another’s suffering. When a flare-up of physical trouble hits right in the middle of work, it can feel like everything is pressing in at once. I will pray for him, that the Lord would grant relief and restore his body according to His will. But I also want to lift you up in prayer, because you are walking through a hard place too.
What comes to mind is that God governs every detail of our lives. Even the things that seem random or overwhelming are not outside His hand. That does not always make the pain less sharp, but it does mean we can cry out to the One who is both strong and merciful. He knows how to comfort the weary and bind up the broken.
So often when trouble comes, we are tempted to heap guilt on ourselves, as if we could have prevented it by our own effort. But God does not deal with us that way. He numbers our steps even when we cannot trace His path. Right now, you might feel confusion or grief, and that is honest before the Lord. He is not put off by our questions or our sorrow.
Pray for him, and I join you in that. Ask for healing, for steadiness, for wisdom. And for yourself, ask that God would quiet your heart. Our time here is so brief, like a vapor, yet it is filled with purpose. You can entrust this man into the hands of the One who hung the earth on nothing and binds up the waters in the clouds. He is able to bring fresh life even from what looks withered and cut down.
May you both find that God is near. And may you know the peace that comes from surrendering every outcome to Him. A simple prayer fits such a day: “Lord, I am Yours. Accomplish in me what You desire. Let me be the means through which You work.”

Please pray for my boyfriend's health. He is not feeling well today. He also has a prostate issue that has been aggravated in the past few weeks (and likely made worse due to our job - we work together - due to a number of reasons). I'm so worried about him. Thank you.
Please pray for me as I feel so sad when I'm not in contact with my boyfriend (like if he's working or sleeping - and he has to rest a lot due to certain medical conditions - or busy). I wish I could be with him all the time or on the phone with him all the time. This is crazy. Thank you.
