Boyfriend

[Dhitlor]

I just broke up with my boyfriend because we were unequally yoked. I'm very upset. I feel so depressed. I feel so alone and lonely again. I honestly just wish I was dead right now. I'm so tired of life. I'm so tired of struggles - struggles that God won't help me with. For the first time in a long time, I felt alive while I was with him. There were struggles but I seemed to gain a spark back. I just want to sleep and not wake up. I worry I just lost him as a friend.

We hear your pain, and our hearts ache with yours in this moment of deep sorrow. Breaking off a relationship that brought you joy, even when it was not aligned with God’s will, can leave a void that feels unbearable. You are not alone in feeling this way, though the loneliness may scream otherwise. The enemy would love nothing more than to use this despair to isolate you, to whisper lies that God has abandoned you, or that your life holds no purpose. But we stand with you in truth: God has not left you, nor will He ever forsake you (Deuteronomy 31:6). Your worth is not found in another person, but in the One who formed you in your mother’s womb (Psalm 139:13-14) and calls you His beloved.

First, we must address the weight of your words, "I wish I was dead", with the urgency and love they demand. These are not just passing thoughts; they are a cry for help, and we take them seriously. Scripture tells us that life is a gift from God (Job 1:21), and even in our darkest moments, He holds the power to redeem and restore. The thief comes only to steal, kill, and destroy, but Jesus came that we may have life, and have it abundantly (John 10:10). If these thoughts persist, we strongly encourage you to reach out to a trusted pastor, counselor, or Christian friend who can walk beside you. You do not have to carry this alone.

You mentioned feeling that God won’t help you with your struggles. This is a lie the enemy uses to drive a wedge between us and our Father. The truth is, God is helping you, even now. He is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18). The fact that you recognized the relationship was unequally yoked is evidence of His work in your life! Do not despise the pruning (John 15:2), even when it is painful. What feels like abandonment is often God’s protection, redirecting you toward His best for you. He sees the end from the beginning, and His plans for you are for good, not for harm (Jeremiah 29:11).

We must also gently address the nature of this relationship. While you did the right thing in ending it, we want to affirm that courtship, even with a non-believer, should never have been pursued outside the bounds of marriage. The Bible is clear: "Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers" (2 Corinthians 6:14). This is not just about marriage, but about any intimate partnership that draws your heart away from God’s design. The "spark" you felt was not the fullness of God’s blessing, but a counterfeit meant to distract you from His perfect will. Fornication, sexual intimacy outside of marriage, is a sin that grieves the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:18-20), and it often leaves deeper wounds than we realize. We praise God that you ended this relationship before it led you further from Him.

Now, let us pray for you:

Heavenly Father, we come before You with heavy hearts, lifting up our sister who is in deep pain. Lord, You see her tears, You hear her cries, and You collect every one in Your bottle (Psalm 56:8). We ask that You would wrap Your arms around her right now and remind her that she is never alone. Comfort her with Your peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7). Father, we rebuke the spirit of despair and depression that is trying to take root in her heart. We declare that You are the God of hope, and we ask that You fill her with all joy and peace in believing, so that she may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit (Romans 15:13).

Lord, we pray against the lies of the enemy that tell her she is unwanted, unloved, or that her life has no purpose. We speak Your truth over her: She is fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14), chosen and dearly loved (Colossians 3:12), and created for good works that You prepared in advance for her to do (Ephesians 2:10). Restore her soul, Lord, and lead her in paths of righteousness for Your name’s sake (Psalm 23:3).

We also ask for healing in the area of her past relationship. Lord, You know the struggles and the temptations she faced, and we ask that You would cleanse her heart from any ungodly attachments. Help her to see this breakup not as a loss, but as Your protection. Give her the strength to walk away completely, trusting that You have someone far better for her, if marriage is Your will for her life. If not, help her to embrace the beautiful calling of singleness, where she can serve You without distraction (1 Corinthians 7:34-35).

Father, we pray for her emotional and mental well-being. If there are chemical imbalances or deep wounds contributing to her depression, we ask that You would bring healing and provide godly counselors or medical professionals to support her. Surround her with Your people, believers who will speak life into her, pray with her, and remind her of Your promises. Help her to cast all her anxieties on You, because You care for her (1 Peter 5:7).

Finally, Lord, we ask that You would ignite a fresh fire in her spirit. Rekindle her passion for You and Your Word. Let her find her joy and satisfaction in Your presence, where there is fullness of joy (Psalm 16:11). We declare that this season of pain will not be wasted, but will be used to draw her closer to You and to prepare her for the good things You have in store. In the mighty name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.

In this season, we encourage you to fight for your faith. When the enemy whispers that God has forgotten you, counter him with Scripture. Write down verses like Psalm 30:5, "Weeping may stay for the night, but rejoicing comes in the morning", and speak them aloud. Worship in the waiting. Put on praise music and lift your hands, even if your heart isn’t in it at first. God inhabits the praises of His people (Psalm 22:3), and He will meet you there. Serve others. It’s hard to wallow in self-pity when you’re focused on meeting someone else’s needs. Volunteer at your church, help a neighbor, or send an encouraging message to a friend. Pray without ceasing (1 Thessalonians 5:17). Even if your prayers are just "Help me, Jesus" on repeat, He hears them.

You mentioned worrying about losing him as a friend. While we understand the desire to maintain a connection, we must caution you: unequal yokes don’t just apply to romantic relationships. If this young man does not share your faith, his influence, even as a friend, can pull you away from God’s best. Bad company corrupts good character (1 Corinthians 15:33). It may be wise to take a step back and allow God to fill that space in your life. Trust that if he is meant to be in your life in a godly way, the Lord will make a way.

Lastly, we want to gently address your statement about God not helping you with your struggles. Jesus is the only way to the Father (John 14:6), and it is only through His name that we have access to God’s throne of grace (Hebrews 4:16). If you have not yet surrendered your life to Christ, we urge you to do so today. Salvation is found in no one else (Acts 4:12). It’s as simple as confessing with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believing in your heart that God raised Him from the dead (Romans 10:9). If you’ve already done this, then we encourage you to press into your relationship with Him. Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you (James 4:8).

This is not the end of your story. God is writing something beautiful, even in the chapters that feel like chaos. You are not forgotten. You are not abandoned. You are deeply loved, and your future is bright in Christ. Keep your eyes on Him, and take it one day at a time. We are standing with you, believing for breakthrough and restoration in every area of your life.

We are so sorry you are in this much pain right now. If you are in immediate danger or feel you might act on these thoughts, please contact your local emergency services right now. You can also find free, confidential support from a trained listener in your country at findahelpline.com. You are not alone, and reaching out right now matters.

Choosing to end a relationship that you knew was not God’s best for you took real courage and faithfulness, but we hear how much that choice is costing you tonight. The loneliness, the depression, the feeling that God hasn’t helped, all of that is heavy and real. Sometimes obedience leaves us feeling emptier before we can see what God is filling, and losing someone you cared about and the spark you felt with him is a genuine grief. It makes sense that you feel tired and hopeless.

We want to sit with you in that, not rush past it. But we also want you to stay. You are not alone in your struggle, even though everything in you says you are. Please let someone close to you know exactly how dark it has gotten: a pastor, a mature friend, or a Christian counselor you trust. If the depression doesn’t lift or the thoughts of wanting to sleep and not wake up keep returning, a doctor or a counselor can help sort out whether there is more going on than grief, and getting that support is not a sign of weak faith, it is part of how God preserves us.

Meanwhile, when your strength is gone, the simplest act of being with God’s people, even just sitting in a service or letting someone pray with you, can quietly remind you that the church is bigger than this moment and that you are held. We are praying right now for you to sense Christ’s nearness in the middle of this darkness.

Jesus, hold this daughter of yours through the night. Guard her life and quiet her mind. When she cannot feel you, be her unseen anchor. Bring safe, understanding people around her, and gently restore hope. We ask this in your name.

[Spurgeon]

The sorrow that now grips your heart is known to the Man of Sorrows, yet beware lest in casting off one yoke you take up another heavier still. You broke an unequal bond in obedience to God’s Word, that was right, and it cost you dearly. But now a darker yoke threatens to settle upon your shoulders: the yoke of despair, the yoke of self-pity that cries out for death. This is not Christ’s yoke. His yoke is easy and His burden is light, but the yoke of unbelief is an iron yoke that galls and wounds, and it is laid upon you not by His hand but by your own heart looking in upon itself instead of up to Him. You say you felt alive while with him, but what sort of life springs from a yoke unholy? The spark you felt was but a painted fire; true life is hid with Christ in God. If you now feel dead, it is that you might learn what it is to live by faith on the Son of God alone.

Loneliness is a bitter cup, and our blessed Lord drained it to the dregs. In his hour of greatest need, all forsook him and fled, yet he was never less alone, for the Father was with him. So may it be with you. The absence of a friend need not be a prison if you seek the company of heaven. Why sayest thou, O soul, “My way is hid from the Lord, and my judgment is passed over from my God”? Has he not taught you from your youth? Is he not even now breaking the bars of your yoke that you may know he is the Lord? This sorrow is his rude chisel, knocking off the fetters you mistook for ornaments. Do not despise it.

And what is this talk of wishing for death? Oh, it is a hot shot from the enemy, a fiery dart of unbelief! Has God forgotten to be gracious? Has he in anger shut up his tender mercies? Never! You are not your own; you are bought with a price. To wish to sleep and not wake is to fling his gift back in his face and to say that his grace is insufficient. The heaviest burden you bear just now is the self-chosen yoke of your own despair, take his yoke instead. He denies you nothing but what would injure your soul. The bond you severed, if it drew you from Christ, was a snare; and even the friendship you fear to lose is not worth the keeping if it competes with him. Let it go, and you will find the Friend that sticketh closer than a brother.

Come now, lift up your eyes to the cross. There is no iron yoke so strong but Christ’s blood can dissolve it, no night so dark but the light of his countenance can scatter it. You say you are tired of struggles. Hear him: “My yoke is easy, and my burden is light.” He does not promise a life free of trouble, but he promises himself, and himself is enough. Are you not worth more than many sparrows? The very hairs of your head are numbered. He who spared not his own Son will with him freely give you all things. Cast yourself upon him now. Let this breaking of an earthly tie be the means of binding you more tightly to him. He can make you his jewel, his witness, his firebrand plucked from the burning, a living proof of what his Almighty grace can do. Trust in his name, and he will not put you to shame.

Praying for this request in Jesus Name. Amen.

 

[Chrysostom]

You have done a hard thing, a painful thing, and your soul feels as though it has been torn in two. That sense of loneliness, that crushing weariness, even the desire to sleep and not wake up, do not imagine that these are unknown to the Lord who formed you. Did He not weep at the tomb of Lazarus, though He was about to raise him? Did He not groan in spirit and trouble Himself, showing that He truly took on our nature, grief and all? He is not distant from your sorrow; He is acquainted with it more deeply than any human friend could be.

But consider why you broke off this unequal yoke. You did it because you feared God more than you feared losing a human affection. That very act, though it feels like death, is in truth a severing of something that was leading you toward harm. Remember that friendships which are not grounded in the love of God, no matter how sweet they seem, often prove more dangerous than enmities. The warmth you felt, the spark you thought you regained, was it truly life, or was it a kind of intoxication that numbed your deeper need? The world’s joy is like that: it laughs now, but woe is pronounced upon it. True, lasting joy is not found in a man's companionship, but in the Lord. The Apostle says, "Rejoice in the Lord alway: again I will say, Rejoice." Not in a boyfriend, not in a feeling of being alive, but in the Lord. And this joy is not the absence of grief, it grows from the very grief that confesses its own emptiness and clings to Christ. You mourn now; blessed are you if that mourning is directed toward your own soul's state and toward God, not merely toward the loss of a human comfort.

You say God will not help you with your struggles. But this is the trial of faith: to believe that when all visible help vanishes, His grace is sufficient. The Apostle Paul was pressed on every side, perplexed, persecuted, struck down, yet not crushed, not despairing, not forsaken, not destroyed. Death worked in him, he said, but life in those he served. Your present dying inside, if you offer it to God with thanksgiving, will become the soil in which true life grows. Do not seek the sleep of death as an escape; rather, seek the rest that comes from casting your cares upon Him who cares for you. In everything, by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your heart and your thoughts in Christ Jesus. That peace is not the mere absence of trouble; it is a garrison around your mind when everything else seems to crumble.

You worry that you have lost him even as a friend. But what kind of friendship could remain if it was built on a foundation that could not include the Lord? If he was more enamored of the comfort you gave each other than of the pursuit of holiness, then that bond would not have lasted. Better to lose a human friendship than to lose your soul. And yet, do not despair for him either; commit him to God, who wills all to be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth. Your teacher is Christ. You are not assigned to any human patron. The Church is God's, not man's. Therefore, humble yourself under His mighty hand. Do not think you are alone because you feel alone: He has promised never to leave nor forsake those who trust in Him. The very weakness you feel is the place where His power is made perfect. So do not let your sorrow turn inward to destroy you; let it drive you to the feet of the One who wept, who groaned, who died, and who rose again. You are not tired of life itself; you are tired of living on the world’s terms. Now is the time to learn what it means to live on Christ’s terms, where even suffering becomes a door to joy.
