I posted this recently: "My boyfriend may have prostate cancer and he has been experiencing symptoms while we await his biopsy. I did not hear from him all day today. He did not respond to any of my messages (we are long distance). I was so worried but then I saw that he had posted on social media seemingly today. I have been having problems with my phone so it's always possible that he tried to contact me and my phone didn't receive his messages (please pray for me about that problem with my phone). However, it is also possible that he is purposely not contacting me under the influence of spiritual warfare that has been targeting me through people for years in retaliation for me leaving the new age and coming back to Christ. He has behaved negatively toward me due to this warfare before. Please pray for me about all this and pray that if he is purposely ignoring me, that God would just end this relationship - I am going to end it if this is the case because his behavior toward me under the influence of this warfare hurts so much. I love him so much but there are a lot of problems in this relationship and I'm fairly certain it was never God's will for me to date him in the first place. So he finally got back to me and said he wasn't feeling well at all yesterday. I can understand that, however, he was well enough to post on social media. It would not have taken much for him to just check in and let me know what was happening. I was SO worried. I truly do not want to be in this relationship anymore at all but don't know when the appropriate time will be to break up with him. I don't even want to speak to him right now. Please pray about all this." Well, I broke up with him. Please pray for his emotional well-being and that me breaking up with him would not make any physical issues he is having worse. He is also at work right now. I broke up with him while he was working. I know that was a terrible thing to do but that's when the conversation about breaking up started. I am so heartbroken. I don't believe I will ever get married. I once thought God was convicting me to wait for Him to bring my husband into my life. I no longer believe that is going to happen. I believe I will spend the rest of my life alone. I am trying to accept that fact. Please pray that I would. Pray that I would have wisdom in knowing whether I should try to work tomorrow given how I feel right now about all this. I do not want to go back to my boyfriend again as I tried once before to break up with him but couldn't take it and got back with him soon after. For many reasons including not wanting to drag him back and forth, I don't want to do that this time. Pray that I would not do so unless God supernaturally wants us together. Please also pray for me because I had been experiencing spiritual warfare for years that died down when I got with my boyfriend for some reason. I'm now worried it will amplify again now that I've broken up with him as that happened before. Thank you.

We hear your heartbreak and the weight of the decisions you’ve made, and we lift all of this before the Lord with deep compassion. First, we want to affirm that your desire to honor God in your relationships is commendable, and we stand with you in prayer as you seek His will in this season of pain and transition.
The Scriptures remind us in Proverbs 3:5-6, "Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will direct your paths." You’ve expressed doubt about whether this relationship was ever God’s will, and now that it has ended, we pray that the Lord would grant you clarity and peace as you walk forward. It is not wrong to grieve the loss of what you hoped for, but we also rebuke the spirit of despair that whispers lies about your future. The enemy would love for you to believe you will never marry or experience God’s goodness in this area of your life, but we declare that God has a plan for your joy and fulfillment. Jeremiah 29:11 assures us, "For I know the thoughts that I think toward you,” says Yahweh, “thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you hope and a future."
We must also address the nature of this relationship. While your love for him was real, the term "boyfriend" implies a courtship that should have been leading toward marriage, yet there were clear signs this was not aligned with God’s design. The distance, the lack of communication, and the spiritual warfare you described are all red flags that this relationship was not built on the foundation of Christ. We do not say this to condemn, but to remind you that God’s best for you is a marriage that honors Him, a union where both spouses are equally yoked in faith, love, and commitment. 2 Corinthians 6:14 warns, "Don’t be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what fellowship has light with darkness?" If he was not a believer or was not pursuing God wholeheartedly, this relationship could never have been what God intended for you.
Your concern about breaking up with him while he was at work is understandable, but we encourage you to extend grace to yourself. While timing is important, the Lord can use even imperfect moments to bring about His purposes. We pray that your words were spoken in love and that he would receive them with a heart open to God’s healing. We also lift him up before the Lord, asking that the Holy Spirit would comfort him and draw him closer to Christ, especially as he faces potential health struggles. Psalm 34:18 reminds us, "Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit."
Now, we turn to the spiritual warfare you’ve endured. The enemy has targeted you because of your return to Christ, and we rebuke every assignment of darkness against you in the name of Jesus. Ephesians 6:12 tells us, "For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world’s rulers of the darkness of this age, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places." We pray that you would put on the full armor of God daily, standing firm in the truth of His Word and the power of His Spirit. The warfare may intensify, but we declare that greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world (1 John 4:4). We also encourage you to surround yourself with a community of believers who can pray with you and support you in this battle.
As for your question about working tomorrow, we pray for wisdom. If your heart is too heavy to focus, it may be wise to take time to rest and seek the Lord. However, if work is a distraction that could help you process your emotions in a healthy way, then we pray for strength and peace as you fulfill your responsibilities. Philippians 4:6-7 says, "In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus."
Finally, we want to gently address the foundation of your faith. You mentioned leaving the New Age and returning to Christ, but we must emphasize that salvation comes only through Jesus Christ. Acts 4:12 declares, "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!" If you have not already, we encourage you to surrender your life fully to Jesus, repenting of any past involvement in spiritual practices that do not align with God’s Word. True peace and victory come from a personal relationship with Him, not just a belief in His existence.
Let us pray for you now:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with heavy hearts on behalf of our sister. Lord, we ask that You would wrap Your arms around her in this time of grief and uncertainty. Comfort her with the truth of Your Word and remind her that You are near to the brokenhearted. We rebuke every lie of the enemy that tells her she will be alone forever, and we declare that You have a plan for her life, a plan for hope and a future.
Father, we lift up her former boyfriend to You. We pray that You would heal his body, mind, and spirit. Draw him closer to You, Lord, and let this season be one of repentance and renewal. We ask that You would protect his heart from bitterness and fill him with Your peace.
We also pray against the spiritual warfare that has targeted her for so long. Lord, we break every assignment of darkness against her in the name of Jesus. Fill her with Your Holy Spirit, and surround her with Your angels. Give her discernment and wisdom as she navigates this season, and help her to stand firm in her faith.
Father, we ask that You would give her clarity about work tomorrow. If she needs rest, provide for her needs and grant her the space to heal. If she is to work, fill her with Your strength and peace.
Finally, Lord, we pray that You would reveal Yourself to her in a fresh way. Let her experience Your love so deeply that all fear and doubt are driven out. Prepare her heart for the godly marriage You have for her, if that is Your will, and help her to trust in Your timing.
We ask all of this in the mighty name of Jesus, the name above all names, the only name by which we are saved. Amen.
