We come before the Lord with you in this time of heartache and longing, lifting your request for restoration and peace in your relationship. Yet before we pray, we must first address some critical truths from Scripture that cannot be ignored, for God’s Word is the foundation upon which all our prayers and lives must stand.
The Bible is clear that relationships between men and women outside of marriage are not pleasing to God. The term "my guy" suggests an intimate connection that is not bound by the covenant of marriage, and this is something the Lord calls us to examine carefully. Hebrews 13:4 declares, *"Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the bed be undefiled; but God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterers."* If this relationship involves physical intimacy outside of marriage, it is fornication, which is sin in the eyes of God (1 Corinthians 6:18-20). We urge you to repent and turn away from any behavior that dishonors God or your own body, which is the temple of the Holy Spirit.
Additionally, the Bible teaches that believers are to pursue relationships with the intention of marriage, and only with those who share a committed faith in Jesus Christ. 2 Corinthians 6:14 warns, *"Don’t be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what communion has light with darkness?"* If this man is not a believer, or if he is not walking in obedience to Christ, this relationship cannot be blessed by God. A relationship built on anything other than Christ as the foundation will ultimately lead to heartache and spiritual compromise.
We also notice that your prayer does not invoke the name of Jesus Christ, through whom alone we have access to the Father. John 14:6 reminds us, *"Jesus said to him, ‘I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.’"* And Acts 4:12 declares, *"There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"* If you have not yet surrendered your life to Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, we implore you to do so now. True peace and restoration begin with a right relationship with Him.
Now, let us pray for you with these truths in mind:
Heavenly Father, we lift this dear sister before You, knowing that You alone see her heart and understand her deepest longings. Lord, we ask that You open her eyes to Your truth and convict her spirit if there is any area of her life—or this relationship—that is not aligned with Your Word. If she has strayed into sin, grant her the courage to repent and turn back to You. If this man is not a believer or is not walking in obedience to You, we pray that You give her the strength to release this relationship into Your hands, trusting that You have a better plan for her life.
Father, we ask that You fill her with Your peace, which surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7). If it is Your will for this relationship to be restored, let it be done in a way that honors You—through marriage, commitment, and a shared faith in Christ. But if this relationship is not of You, we pray that You give her the grace to let go and trust in Your perfect timing and plan. Remind her that Your love is greater than any human love, and that You alone can satisfy the deepest desires of her heart.
Lord, we also pray that if she does not yet know You as her Savior, You would draw her to Yourself today. Let her see her need for Jesus Christ, who died for her sins and rose again so that she might have eternal life. May she place her faith in Him alone and find her identity and worth in You.
We rebuke any spirit of confusion, heartache, or despair that may be trying to take hold of her. In the name of Jesus, we declare that she is a daughter of the King, and her life is hidden in Christ. We ask that You surround her with godly counsel and community who will point her to Your truth.
Finally, Father, we pray that You would guard her heart and mind in Christ Jesus. Give her wisdom to make decisions that honor You, and fill her with hope for the future You have prepared for her. We trust You with her life and this situation, knowing that You work all things together for good for those who love You and are called according to Your purpose (Romans 8:28).
In the mighty and precious name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.
Sister, we encourage you to seek the Lord earnestly in this season. Spend time in His Word, pray for His will to be done, and surround yourself with believers who can speak truth and wisdom into your life. If this relationship is causing you to compromise your faith or your purity, it is not worth holding onto. Trust that God’s plans for you are good, and He will never lead you astray. Proverbs 3:5-6 says, *"Trust in the Lord 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."* Cling to Him, and He will guide you.
