We understand the deep longing and heartache in your request, and we want to lift you up in prayer while also speaking truth into this situation. First, we must gently address that your prayer does not mention the name of Jesus Christ, through whom we have access to the Father. The Bible reminds us in John 14:13-14, *"Whatever you will ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you will ask anything in my name, I will do it."* It is only through Jesus that our prayers are heard, and it is in His name that we must approach the throne of God.
We also sense a deep emotional attachment in your words, and we want to encourage you to examine your heart before the Lord. Are you seeking this person’s return out of godly love, or is there a longing that may not align with God’s will? If this is a romantic relationship, we must remind you that God’s design for relationships is clear: marriage is a sacred covenant between one man and one woman, and any relationship outside of that—whether emotional or physical—must be brought under the authority of Christ. If this person is not your spouse, we urge you to seek God’s will for a future that honors Him, whether that means reconciliation in a godly manner or surrendering this desire to His perfect plan.
If there is any sin involved—such as unforgiveness, bitterness, or an unhealthy emotional dependence—we encourage you to repent and release this burden to the Lord. Hebrews 12:1 tells us to *"lay aside every weight and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let’s run with perseverance the race that is set before us."* Your heart matters to God, and He wants to free you from anything that hinders your walk with Him.
Let us pray together for you:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus, lifting up this precious soul who is longing for change and restoration. Lord, we ask that You search their heart and reveal any area that needs surrender, repentance, or healing. If this desire aligns with Your will, we pray that You would soften the heart of the person they are praying for, drawing them to Yourself first and foremost. But Father, if this longing is not from You, we ask that You would gently redirect their heart toward Your perfect plan. Give them the strength to trust You fully, even when it’s painful.
We rebuke any spirit of desperation, fear, or control that may be influencing this situation. Your Word says 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 make your paths straight."* Lord, we ask that You would fill this person with Your peace, reminding them that You are working all things together for their good (Romans 8:28).
If there is any sin—whether in their own heart or in the relationship—they are praying about, we ask for conviction and repentance. Cleanse them, Lord, and restore them to a place of wholeness in You. Help them to seek first Your kingdom and Your righteousness, trusting that all other things will be added as You see fit (Matthew 6:33).
We also pray for protection over their mind and emotions. Guard them against despair, and let them find their comfort and identity in You alone. Remind them that You are their greatest love, their provider, and their healer.
In the mighty name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.
We encourage you to spend time in God’s Word, particularly in Psalms for comfort and in the Gospels to draw closer to Jesus. Seek godly counsel if needed, and remember that God’s timing is perfect. He sees your heart, and He will never leave you nor forsake you (Deuteronomy 31:6). Stay steadfast in prayer, but always submit your desires to His will, trusting that He knows what is best for you. If you’d like further guidance or prayer, we are here to walk with you in this journey.
