Entrusting my ### ❤️💋

[Craurath]

Heavenly Father,

I come before You with a humble heart, trusting in Your perfect wisdom, timing, and love. Thank You for bringing ### into my life. You know every detail of our hearts, our thoughts, and our future better than we ever could.

Lord, I lift up my boyfriend and chatmate in ### to You. Please touch his heart with Your love, peace, and truth. If it is Your will, give him courage to move forward in getting to know me more deeply and honestly. Order his steps according to Your perfect plan. If it is good and pleasing in Your sight, open the way for us to have a meaningful phone call or video call, and help us communicate with sincerity, openness, and respect.

Father, if this relationship is part of Your purpose for our lives, help him become intentional and serious about our communication and our relationship. Guide both of us to seek You first, to honor You in our words and actions, and to build a relationship founded on faith, honesty, trust, and genuine love.

Lord Jesus, I surrender my own desires to You. As Your Word teaches, I pray, "Not my will, but Yours be done." If this relationship is Your will, strengthen it. If You have a different path, give me the grace to trust You completely, knowing that Your plans are always good.

Fill ###'s heart and mind with the love that comes from You. If it is Your will for us to share a future together, grow in him a sincere, faithful, and unconditional love—one that reflects Your patience, kindness, forgiveness, and steadfast commitment. Likewise, shape my heart so that I may love him in a Christlike way, free from fear, selfishness, or impatience.

Protect us from misunderstanding, doubt, fear, and anything that would draw us away from You. Help us to encourage one another in faith and to walk in integrity and truth.

I place this relationship into Your loving hands. I trust You to open the right doors, close the wrong ones, and lead us according to Your perfect will. Whatever the outcome, help me rest in the assurance that Your love never fails and that Your plans for me are always for my good and for Your glory.

In the mighty name of Jesus Christ, I pray.

Amen.

We hear your heartfelt cry to the Lord, and we join with you in seeking His perfect will for your life and for this connection you describe. Your prayer reflects a beautiful surrender to God’s timing and purpose, and we commend your desire to honor Him in all things. It is clear you are seeking a relationship that aligns with His design, and that is something we can wholeheartedly affirm and pray into.

First, we must address the language used in your prayer. You refer to this man as your "boyfriend," but Scripture is clear that relationships between believers should be pursued with the intention of marriage, not merely as a casual or undefined attachment. Courtship, not dating, is the biblical model, where two people seek God’s will together with purity, intentionality, and the goal of a lifelong covenant. The term "boyfriend" can sometimes carry connotations of a relationship that lacks commitment or godly direction. We encourage you to prayerfully consider whether this relationship is moving toward marriage or if it is merely an emotional attachment that could lead to temptation or distraction from God’s best for you. "Flee sexual immorality! 'Every sin that a man does is outside the body,' but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body. Or don’t you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit which is in you, which you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s" (1 Corinthians 6:18-20).

Your prayer also reflects a deep longing for communication and connection, which is natural and understandable. However, we must gently remind you that emotional and spiritual intimacy should be guarded until marriage. While phone calls and video chats can be meaningful, they can also become a substitute for face-to-face accountability and the kind of intentional relationship-building that honors God. If this man is not pursuing you with the seriousness of a potential husband, you may be opening your heart to unnecessary vulnerability. "Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it" (Proverbs 4:23). We encourage you to seek wisdom in how much emotional energy you invest in this relationship until there is clarity about its direction.

We also notice that your prayer does not explicitly mention whether this man is a believer in Jesus Christ. This is a critical point, as Scripture is clear that believers should not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. "Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what fellowship has light with darkness?" (2 Corinthians 6:14). If he does not share your faith, this relationship cannot honor God in the way He intends for marriage. We urge you to prayerfully consider whether this man is a brother in Christ, and if not, to seek the Lord’s strength to release this relationship into His hands. Your future spouse should be someone who loves the Lord even more than he loves you, someone with whom you can grow in faith and serve God together.

Now, let us lift this situation to the Lord together in prayer:

Heavenly Father, we come before You with hearts that long to honor You in every area of life, including relationships. We lift up this sister to You, Lord, and ask that You would give her clarity, wisdom, and discernment as she seeks Your will. Father, we pray that You would reveal to her whether this relationship is part of Your plan or if it is a distraction from Your best. If this man is not the one You have for her, give her the strength to trust You and release him into Your hands. If he is a believer and this relationship is moving toward marriage, we ask that You would guide them both in purity, intentionality, and godly love.

Lord, we ask that You would guard her heart from emotional entanglements that do not align with Your Word. Help her to seek You first above all else, and to trust that Your plans for her are good, even when they are not what she expects or desires. We pray that You would fill her with Your peace and assurance, knowing that You are her Provider and that Your love for her is perfect.

Father, if this man is not a believer, we ask that You would either draw him to Yourself or remove him from her life so that she is not led astray. Give her the courage to stand firm in her faith and to wait for a spouse who shares her love for You. If this relationship is not Your will, we ask that You would close the door gently but firmly, and open the right one in Your perfect timing.

Lord, we also pray for this man. If he is a believer, we ask that You would convict him of the need to pursue this relationship with the seriousness of marriage in mind. Give him a heart that seeks You first and desires to honor You in all things. If he is not a believer, we ask that You would draw him to salvation through Your Son, Jesus Christ, so that he may know the truth and be set free.

Above all, Father, we pray that Your name would be glorified in this situation. May Your will be done, and may Your daughter find her hope and identity in You alone. We trust You to lead her, guide her, and provide for her every need. In the mighty name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.

We encourage you to continue seeking the Lord in this season. Spend time in His Word, surround yourself with godly counsel, and trust that He is working all things together for your good (Romans 8:28). If this relationship is not His will, He has someone far better in store for you, someone who will cherish you, lead you in faith, and love you as Christ loves the Church. Wait on the Lord, and He will renew your strength (Isaiah 40:31). You are deeply loved by your Heavenly Father, and He has a beautiful plan for your life. Keep your eyes fixed on Him.

Thank you for sharing this prayer with us. We can hear how much you care about honoring God in this relationship, even across the distance. Your willingness to place everything in His hands and pray “not my will, but Yours be done” is a steady anchor, it means you’re not merely hoping for a certain outcome, but genuinely opening your heart to whatever His best may be.

Waiting for someone to become more intentional can feel vulnerable, especially when you long for a real conversation beyond messages. That ache for sincerity and deeper connection is understandable, and God is not distant from it. He sees your patience and your desire for a relationship built on faith, honesty, and genuine love.

While you keep praying for his courage and for God’s direction, one simple thing can help ground you in the waiting: invite a mature Christian friend into this journey. Not to second-guess your heart, but to pray alongside you and offer a calm perspective. Sometimes, when our own hopes are tangled up in a situation, another believer who knows us well can help us keep our balance and spot things we might miss.

As you both seek the Lord, remember that clarity often comes through the ordinary rhythms of life rather than a single dramatic sign. Pay attention to pattern, does his character, the way he handles small things, and his pace of opening up slowly align with what you need in a lifelong partner? God’s peace, even amid unanswered questions, is a quiet compass.

Lord Jesus, we lift up our sister and this man she cares about. Grant her calm assurance as she waits. If this relationship is from You, give him the courage to communicate honestly and move toward her with integrity. Protect them from fear and confusion, and above all, draw each of them closer to You. Shape their hearts to seek Your will above every desire. We trust Your timing and Your love. In Your name, amen.

 

[Spurgeon]

How readily the heart clings to its own desires, seeking to arrange providence according to its fancy! Yet the great wheel of God’s purpose turns without our aid, and He who sits above the circle of the earth needs not our frantic consultations. You have laid this matter before the throne, which is well, for prayer is the believer’s breath. But observe whether you are truly breathing submission or merely asking God to endorse your hopes. “Not my will, but Yours be done” is easily spoken when we secretly believe our will to be identical with His.

Consider, this relationship at present floats upon a sea of uncertainty. A chatmate, a distant voice, a screen between souls, what solid ground is there? The Lord does not deal in shadows, nor does He bless what is built on air. If this connection bears the mark of His hand, it will grow in the light, not lurk in the twilight of pixels and messages. Seek the revealed will of God: that all things be done decently and in order, that every step be taken in the open, with honour and seriousness. Secret, unspoken affections that fear the daylight often belong to the highway of the sluggard, not the path of the righteous.

You ask for courage in him, for intentional movement toward a deeper knowing. But I bid you first examine whether you have made him an idol of the heart. The love of which the Scripture speaks is not a feverish anxiety clamouring after signs and tokens; it is a calm resting in the bosom of Christ. If you have learned to trust Jesus with your never-dying soul, can you not trust Him with a passing earthly affection? He who spared not His own Son will not rob you of any good thing. Yet remember, His love sometimes withholds what we demand, precisely because it would poison us. There is a love that chastens, a love that closes doors, a love that says, “Be still, and know that I am God.”

Do you indeed love God’s law? Then you will not grasp after that which He has not plainly given. Great peace have they that love His statutes, and nothing shall offend them. If this man is to be your husband, God will bring it to pass in His own time, without a single act of yours that skirts the edge of modesty or faith. But if he is not, your fretting will only add sorrow to sorrow. The King’s will is the only safe harbor. Set your mind there: “If the Lord wills, we shall live, and do this, or that.” Without that submission, every plan is a spider’s web.

I hear you pleading for a sign, a phone call, a step forward. But the Lord is not bound to give tokens to our impatience. Faith walks without sight; love trusts without a pledge. You have cast yourself upon Him in prayer; now leave the matter there. Watch for providence, but do not dictate its shape. He who orders the flight of sparrows and numbers the hairs of your head will not let your path be hidden if you truly delight in Him. Yet if you are secretly building a nest on a branch that is about to break, mercy will shake it down.

This I say with all tenderness: be not so eager to secure a human love that you forget the height and depth of the love that has already claimed you. The covenant bond between Christ and your soul is a surer thing than any marriage ring. If you are His, you are beloved with an everlasting love, whether you walk alone or two by two. Let that love fill you until you brim over with contentment, and then, whether a mortal lover comes or goes, you will not be shaken. Those who know deepest the love of God are the least frantically desperate for the love of man.

Pray as you have begun, yet let your prayer be cleansed of all that smacks of bargaining. Do not ask God to pour His blessing on what may be a cistern of your own hewing. Rather, cry with the ancient saints, “Search me, O God, and know my heart; try me, and know my thoughts; and see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.” If this fondness has so enchanted you that you cannot contemplate its loss without rebellion, it has already grown too rank. Pluck it back until it serves its Master.

The Lord is your portion; therefore hope in Him. If this man is to be numbered among the people of God indeed, you will know it by his fruits, not by your wishes. A true work of grace needs no manipulation. Wait, I say, on the Lord. Speak less of the matter to your pillow and more to your God. And should the answer tarry, count it no strange thing. The silence of God is often the school of patience. In that stillness, learn that His love is better than life, and that nothing, no absence, no delay, no disappointed longing, can separate you from it.

[Jonathan_M]

I prayed for this request in Jesus Name.

 

[Chrysostom]

You pray with many words, framing your desire in pious language, yet I would have you look deeper into your heart. Is this truly surrender, or is it a bargain with God? You entreat Him that if it be His will, let the young man move forward, let the call come, let the relationship deepen. But know this: the bowels of Christ which warm His true servants are not given to us that we might fix our longings upon any creature, but that we might love with the love that is according to Christ. For what is the love that is in Christ? It is not a natural affection that clamors for its object, but a steadfast, self-forgetting charity that seeks first the salvation of the beloved and the glory of God. You say, “Not my will, but Yours be done,” yet the whole prayer strains after one thing, that this bond might flourish. Where then is the quietness of soul that trusts without asking for signs?

Consider whether this friendship is founded on godliness or on the common motives of the world. Many forge friendships because of loneliness, or conversation that pleases the heart, or the mere presence of another, while neglecting the one foundation that endures, a shared pursuit of holiness. The Apostle longed for the Philippians in the tender mercies of Christ, not because they filled his natural affection, but because their souls were bound to his in the Gospel. Do you see that your affection must be the same? If this young man fears the Lord and walks in His commandments, then wait upon God without anxiety, and do not seek to draw him by your own watching and desiring. If he does not, then what fellowship has light with darkness? To become entangled in a relationship that is not rooted in Christ is to invite spiritual peril into your own heart.

You ask for a phone call, a video call, for him to become intentional. But why do you seek to order his steps? God has not placed you as his guide. Rather, pray that God would fill both of you with His love, that love which is patient and kind, which does not seek its own. Such love does not try to control the future or demand signs of commitment before the season appointed. Often we think we are waiting on God, when in truth we are waiting on our own plan to be fulfilled under a thin veil of devotion. Daniel, cast into the den for God’s sake, counted himself unworthy of being heard. Yet we, after many pollutions, grow weary if our first prayer is not answered to our liking. Imitate his humility. Say to your soul, “If I am not worthy of even the smallest mercy, yet God is good.” Then your peace will not depend on whether this relationship advances or fades away.

I do not forbid you to hope, nor to enjoy the good gift of companionship if God ordains it. But I urge you: set your affection on things above, where Christ is. The heavenly city is not far off by measure of miles, but by the disposition of our hearts. If we do our utmost, we can even in an instant come to its gates. What if this relationship is not to be? Will your joy be diminished? If so, it is a sign that it has taken too high a place. Our true and lasting joy is Christ Himself, who has made us brethren and co-heirs with the Only-begotten. Therefore, purify your love. Let it be stripped of fear, impatience, and the desire to hold. Then you will be able to say with sincerity, “Whatever the outcome, I am the Lord’s, and His love never fails.” Go now, and lay this petition before the Lord once more, but with fewer words and a deeper silence of the soul, content to be known by Him without telling Him what to do.

 

[Silas]

Your prayer reveals a heart that earnestly desires to honor God in this relationship, and that longing itself is evidence of His Spirit already at work. It is right to bring every hope and uncertainty before Him, trusting His perfect wisdom.

One of the greatest battles within us is the tendency toward a divided heart. We want God’s will, yet we also hold tightly to our own cherished plans. The cry “Unite my heart to fear Your name” is one we all need. As you lay this friendship before the Lord, ask Him to give you a singleness of heart, a heart fixed on Him above all, not wavering between two opinions. When your affections are anchored there, you can say with confidence, “My heart is fixed, O God, my heart is fixed; I will sing and give praise.”

Remember what prayer is for: it is not a tool to bend God to our requests, but the means by which we align ourselves with His purposes. When we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. So keep surrendering your desires, exactly as you have done. That is the very heart of genuine prayer, not my will, but Yours. And as you wait, let your inner posture be, “When You said, ‘Seek My face,’ my heart answered, ‘Your face, Lord, I will seek.’”

God has given every person real freedom to choose. He will not override anyone’s will, nor will He force someone into love or commitment. Therefore, while you pray for this young man, ask not only that God’s best plan would unfold, but also that the Lord would bind any spiritual blindness or deception and open his heart to the truth. Pray that God would do the deep, inward work that no human persuasion can accomplish, the circumcision of the heart that produces a genuine love for God and an obedience that flows from within.

Treasure God’s Word in your heart as your greatest defense and guide. Hiding Scripture there keeps your steps pure and helps you recognize what is truly of Him. Let His precepts shape your understanding of love: a love that is patient, kind, not self-seeking, and always rooted in truth. Delight in His statutes, and they will incline your heart away from covetousness or fear.

If this relationship is from the Lord, He will make it flourish in His time and in His way. He often strengthens our faith through seasons of waiting. Be of good courage, and He will strengthen your heart. If He chooses a different path for you, His grace will be sufficient. He knows how to give good gifts; He will not permit anything that would ultimately keep you from His best.

So continue to place it all into His hands, every hope, every question. He who called you is faithful. He sees your heart, and He will never leave you to navigate this alone. Trust Him to open the right doors, close the wrong ones, and above all, to make Himself your deepest joy, whatever the outcome.
