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.

 

[Articles]

We hear your heartfelt prayer and stand with you in seeking God’s perfect will for your life and for this relationship. Your desire to surrender your own plans and trust in the Lord’s timing and wisdom is commendable. The Scripture reminds us, "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" (Proverbs 3:5-6). This is a beautiful posture of faith, and we join you in praying that God’s will be done in every aspect of this situation.

First, we must address the nature of this relationship. You refer to this man as your "boyfriend," which suggests a level of commitment that should ideally be reserved for a godly courtship with the intent of marriage. The Bible is clear that relationships between believers should be pursued with purity and purpose, with marriage as the ultimate goal. "Marriage is honorable among all, and the bed undefiled; but God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterers" (Hebrews 13:4). If this relationship is not moving toward marriage, we must gently rebuke the idea of remaining in a prolonged "boyfriend/girlfriend" dynamic, as it can lead to emotional or physical temptation outside of God’s design. We encourage you to prayerfully consider whether this relationship is being pursued with the seriousness and commitment that honors God’s plan for marriage.

That said, we lift up this man to the Lord, asking that God would indeed touch his heart with truth, courage, and a desire to seek the Lord above all else. "Delight yourself also in Yahweh, and he will give you the desires of your heart" (Psalm 37:4). If it is God’s will for you to move forward together, we pray that He would make that path clear and that both of you would grow in faith, integrity, and love for one another. We also pray that your communication would be marked by honesty, respect, and a shared commitment to Christ. "Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer each one" (Colossians 4:6).

However, we must also rebuke any hint of emotional or spiritual compromise. If this man is not equally committed to pursuing a Christ-centered relationship with the intent of marriage, we encourage you to guard your heart. "Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it" (Proverbs 4:23). It is not God’s will for you to be emotionally entangled with someone who is not equally devoted to honoring Him. If this relationship is not aligned with God’s purposes, we pray for the strength to release it and trust in His greater plan.

We also lift up your surrender to God’s will. Your prayer, "Not my will, but Yours be done," echoes the heart of Christ in the Garden of Gethsemane (Luke 22:42). This is the posture we must all take, complete trust in God’s goodness, even when His plans differ from our own. We pray that you would find peace in His sovereignty, knowing that "all things work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose" (Romans 8:28).

Let us pray together:

Heavenly Father, we come before You with hearts full of faith and surrender. We lift up this relationship to You, asking that Your perfect will be done. Lord, if this man is the one You have chosen for her, we pray that You would draw him closer to You, soften his heart, and give him the courage to pursue this relationship with godly intentionality. Shape both of their hearts to love one another as Christ loves the Church, with patience, kindness, and selflessness.

Father, if this relationship is not part of Your plan, we ask for the grace to release it without bitterness or fear. Give her the strength to trust in Your timing and to rest in the knowledge that You have something better in store. Protect her heart from doubt, impatience, or compromise, and fill her with Your peace.

Lord, we also pray for wisdom and discernment. Help her to see this situation through Your eyes and to walk in a manner worthy of Your calling. May she seek You first in all things, and may her relationship, whether with this man or another, bring glory to Your name.

We ask all these things in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, the Author and Perfecter of our faith, the One who holds our futures in His hands. Amen.

We’re sitting with you in that tender, hungry-for-clarity space, the part where you’ve already laid everything on the altar and now you’re just waiting, not knowing if something will move or quietly close. That openness to God’s will is costly and real. It’s also unsettling when the other person seems to hold back, and you can’t yet see whether his slowness is caution, disinterest, or simply the awkwardness of distance.

One thing we notice in your prayer is a deep longing not just for a relationship, but for a safe one, where communication is honest, where you are chosen intentionally, and where faith is the shared foundation. That’s a holy desire. And in our experience, God often honors those desires by giving us not instant certainty, but gradual, testable evidence that a person is who he claims to be. Trust isn’t built on one big leap; it’s built in a hundred small moments of consistency. As you pray, it’s okay to notice whether his actions, even small ones, like reaching out, showing curiosity about your life, or initiating that phone call, begin to form a pattern of respect and genuine interest. Those ordinary patterns are often where God’s guidance lives, not just in dramatic signs.

While you wait, you might also seek out the steadiness of a trusted, mature Christian friend who can know the whole story and pray alongside you. Sometimes our own hopes can blur what’s real, and a wise outside voice helps us hold things loosely without losing heart.

Father, thank You that she has already surrendered this relationship to You. Quiet her heart when the silence on the other end feels loud. Give her patience that doesn’t rush to fill the unknown with anxiety. If this is from You, open doors of clear, courageous communication. If it is not, give her the grace to let go and trust that Your withholding is always for her good. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

[Spurgeon]

You speak of surrendering your desires and praying, "Not my will, but Yours be done." Search your heart, then, and see if you truly mean it. For if you catch yourself hoping that God's will simply matches your own, you have not surrendered at all. Unconditional surrender means you yield before you know the outcome, you give up your weapons, you end the war, you say from the soul, "If this cup cannot pass, Your will be done." Anything less is a treaty, not a surrender.

Consider what you are bringing before the throne of grace. You speak of a boyfriend, a chatmate, someone you wish would become more intentional, more serious. But pause and ask, whose pattern are you following? The world arranges these loose bonds of convenience, these half-commitments, and calls them love. But where in Scripture do you find such a thing commended? True love, the love that reflects Christ and His church, does not hide in the shadows of undefined intention. It steps into the light of covenant, publicly, with vows before God and man. If a man cannot bring himself to speak plainly, to honor you with clarity, and to seek marriage rather than endless "getting to know," then what is he asking of your heart but the traffic of uncertainty under the pretense of romance? Be careful that you do not dress worldly scaffolding in the garments of faith.

You ask God to make him courageous and intentional, but suppose God's answer is to close that door. Suppose His will is not to shape this man into a husband for you, but to remove him altogether. Will you still say, "Not my will, but Yours be done"? You will be comforted and helped if you can look upon your unanswered prayers in that light. If the way opens, move forward in integrity; if it does not, do not force your way through a wall God has set before you. Do not dare to say, "I will propose and I will also dispose," for that is the language of pride. No harm can come to you if you bow to God's sovereign sway.

Yet even greater than the question of this relationship is the question of your own soul's trust. Are you seeking your ultimate happiness in a man's affection, or in Christ alone? To put all in one, if you are ready to come to Christ and trust Him without any miracles, signs, or evidences, but will simply trust Him, alone, you have within you a power which will carry you through life. But if your peace depends on whether a man in ### makes a video call, then your foundation is sand. Faith sees God's goodness in the land of the living, not because every earthly desire is granted, but because Christ is sufficient when all else fails.

Do not mistake activity in religion for surrender. You may wrestle and fight and pray, but side by side with that you must yield to the Spirit's impulse. He strives in us mightily, and if we will but resign ourselves and no longer be obstacles in His divine way, He will carry us to greater heights of grace. This is the time when you will faint unless you believe to see the goodness of the Lord even now and here, and that goodness may show itself by removing what you cling to most.

If this man truly belongs to God, and if God means you for one another, then let him prove it by biblical fruits: a public commitment leading to marriage in righteousness and judgment and loving kindness. Let your communication be in the full light of day, with families and church involved, not hidden behind screens and emojis. But if he lingers in ambiguity, take that as your answer and lose no more sleep over it. God will hear the heavens; they shall hear the earth; and you shall know His will in His own time and way. Until then, trust God with your whole heart and ask yourself whether you can be content in Him without this man's attention. If Christ is not enough for you now, a husband never will be.

One thing more: you ask God to fill this man's heart with love that is patient, kind, and unconditional. But that is covenant love, born of the Spirit and tested in the fires of faithful marriage, not a sentiment formed in a chat window across the sea. Do not call it unconditional love before it has borne the weight of commitment. Instead, set your own heart on the unchanging love of Christ, who loved you and washed you from your sins in His own blood. Let your trust be alone in God; then your homage and gratitude will be laid at His feet, not at the altar of a hoped-for earthly relationship.

Go now, and if you must pray about this man, pray once with full surrender, then leave it. Do not suffocate your soul with endless revisiting. Commit your way unto the Lord; trust also in Him, and He shall bring it to pass, whether that means giving or withholding, opening or shutting. His will is always your peace if you have surrendered unconditionally. Only trust Him.

I prayed for this in Jesus Name.

 

[Chrysostom]

You pour out your heart to God, and that is well, for He alone knows every hidden thought. Yet I see in your words a soul entangled in the web of human affection, reaching toward a "boyfriend and chatmate" as if that bond were the harbor of your peace. Consider this: the distance between us and the heavenly city is not measured in miles but in moral disposition. If you are diligent, you may come to its gates in an instant; if negligent, heaven becomes farther than the earth from the sky. Are you not more concerned about the spaces between you and this man than the vast gap sin has fixed between your soul and Christ? Many have traveled far and can describe every way-station and market, but we ourselves often forget how far we are from the city of God. You would shorten that distance if you knew its length. Do not, then, let a phone call or a deeper knowing of another person become a greater pursuit than the pursuit of holiness.

The love we are to cultivate is the love that abounds in knowledge and all discernment, the tender mercies of Christ which Paul felt for the Philippians. He longed after them not with natural affection, but with the bowels of Christ. Is your longing for this man fired by such divine love, or does it spring from a heart that craves earthly companionship more than the fellowship of the suffering Savior? You ask God to make him intentional and serious, yet you must first be intentional about your own soul. If you are not rooted in that sincere and void-of-offense love that looks toward the day of Christ, you will approve things that are merely pleasant, not excellent. And I must warn you, as I have warned from this seat before: I will not soften the truth for the sake of your feelings. God’s long-suffering is meant to draw you to repentance, not to make you comfortable in a path that might lead you away from His will. If you misuse His patience, the judgment will be more terrible, not less.

You say, "Not my will, but Yours be done," and that is a holy prayer. Yet let me ask: have you truly surrendered this desire, or are you secretly bargaining with God to grant what you want while speaking pious words? Search your heart. We often count ourselves unworthy of God’s notice, like Daniel in the lions’ den, yet we pull back if our first prayers are not answered as we wish. The distance between Daniel’s humility and our presumption is as great as heaven and earth, or even greater. You must not only speak of surrender but live it, turning your mind away from the very thought of what might distract you from Christ. Do not even let the name of this attachment occupy your heart as an idol. Remember what the Psalmist says: "I will not mention their names through my lips." Not talking of the deeds of men is a small virtue; not remembering them, not admitting them into the mind, that is the path of safety. The evil one steals in through memory and thought, then word, then deed. Wall off your heart from every entrance.

If this man is to be part of your life, let it be only as a fellow traveler toward the heavenly Jerusalem, not as a substitute for the Bridegroom of your soul. Abraham’s blood did not save the Jews; their trust in natural ties made them deaf to Christ. Do not rest your hope in a human relationship, thinking it will fulfill you. It is the truth of Christ that sets us free, and that truth is His equality with the Father and His power to make us children of God by grace. What honor He gives: to be conformed to the image of the Son! That is the goal, not a shared video call. If your love for this man is rooted in the tender mercies of Christ, it will bear the fruit of righteousness. But while anyone remains in wickedness, even the pleasant wickedness of misplaced affections, he cannot bear good fruit. Turn fully from any thought or desire that does not lead you to Christ.

My heart longs for your salvation, not your earthly comfort. I would rather see you shed tears of repentance than smile over a fleeting connection. The fire of divine love bridges all distances, and if you truly love Him, you will greet Christ through others, through prayer, through works of mercy, and through a chaste life. Do not wonder whether a man across miles will call you; wonder whether you have called upon the Lord with a pure heart. If you seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, all else that is needful will be added. But if you place this relationship on the altar of your heart instead of offering it up as a whole burnt sacrifice, you will know only vexation. I speak with urgency, for I am accountable for your soul as long as I sit in this place of proclamation. Heed my voice, not because I desire to cause you pain, but that both here and at the dread judgment seat we may enjoy eternal blessings together.

 

[Silas]

How beautifully you have placed this relationship into the hands of the Lord, confessing that His wisdom and timing are far better than your own. That kind of surrender is not a sign of weakness; it is the very heart of true prayer. Before we can seek anything from God, there must first be a relationship. You have that. And out of that relationship flows the fellowship of bringing every care to Him. Early you sought Him with this, and He has heard you.

You asked for courage to be given to this young man, for intentionality, and for protection from misunderstanding. Know that God fulfills the desire of those who reverence Him. He hears their cry. Your trust in Him is precious, more than you realize. It brings Him glory. Some put their confidence in human plans or lean on their own understanding, but the arm of flesh will always fail. Far better to trust in the Lord than to put your hope in princes or in a particular outcome. His counsel stands forever.

Remember that the Lord sees not only the outside but the deep places of the heart. He knows what is best for your growth in Christlikeness. If He opens the door for this relationship to deepen, it will be for your good and His glory. If He closes it, He will give you the grace to trust Him still. The test of faith often comes not when everything is bright, but when we cannot see what He is doing. Can you trust His character even when His path is unclear? That is the trust that blesses His heart.

You are God’s treasure. He values you not for what you can produce but because you have placed your trust in His Son. That new covenant is not based on your ability to get everything right, but on His faithfulness. He has given you His Spirit to empower you, to shape you, and to align your desires with His. So do not fear. Let your heart rest in the promise that His love never fails. Keep seeking Him first, and His kingdom. Everything else, the right steps, the timing, the necessary courage, will be added according to His perfect will.
