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 prayer and join with you in seeking the Lord’s will for your life and the life of this young man. It is clear you desire God’s best, and we praise Him for your willingness to surrender your own desires to His perfect plan. Your prayer reflects a deep trust in the Father’s wisdom, love, and timing, and we stand with you in that trust.

First, we must address the nature of your relationship. You refer to this man as your "boyfriend," but Scripture is clear that romantic relationships between believers should be pursued with the intent of marriage, not merely as a casual or undefined connection. The term "boyfriend" can sometimes imply a relationship that lacks the commitment and intentionality that God desires for His children. We encourage you to prayerfully consider whether this relationship is moving toward the godly covenant of marriage, as outlined in Scripture. If it is not, we must rebuke any tendency toward complacency or emotional attachment that does not align with God’s design for purity and commitment.

The Bible tells us in 2 Corinthians 6:14, "Don’t be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what communion has light with darkness?" If this young man is not a believer in Jesus Christ, we must urge you to reconsider the foundation of this relationship. Marriage is a sacred covenant, and it is vital that both individuals share a commitment to Christ and His Word. If he is a believer, we pray that God would deepen his faith and draw him closer to Himself, so that your relationship may be built on the solid rock of Christ.

We also want to address the issue of physical and emotional purity. While your prayer does not explicitly mention sexual intimacy, we must remind you that any physical relationship outside of marriage is considered fornication in the eyes of God. 1 Thessalonians 4:3-5 says, "For this is the will of God: your sanctification, that you abstain from sexual immorality, that each one of you know how to control his own body in sanctification and honor, not in the passion of lust, even as the Gentiles who don’t know God." We urge you to guard your heart and body, ensuring that your relationship honors God in every way. If there has been any compromise in this area, we encourage you to repent and seek God’s forgiveness, trusting in His grace to restore and guide you.

Your prayer also reflects a desire for deeper communication and connection with this young man. We rejoice in your willingness to seek God’s will in this area, and we pray that He would indeed open doors for meaningful conversation and growth. Proverbs 3:5-6 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 direct your paths." We pray that God would direct your steps and his, leading you both into His perfect will.

Let us join together in prayer for you and this young man:

Heavenly Father, we come before You with humble hearts, lifting up this sister in Christ and the young man she has mentioned. Lord, we thank You for her desire to seek Your will and to honor You in all things. We ask that You would touch the heart of this young man, drawing him closer to You and filling him with Your love, peace, and truth. If it is Your will for them to move forward in a relationship that leads to marriage, we pray that You would give him the courage and wisdom to pursue her with intentionality and godly commitment.

Father, we ask that You would guard their hearts and minds, protecting them from any temptation or compromise that does not align with Your Word. Help them to communicate with sincerity, openness, and respect, always seeking to honor You in their words and actions. If this relationship is not part of Your plan, we pray that You would give them both the grace to accept Your will and to trust in Your goodness.

Lord, we surrender this relationship into Your hands. We trust that You will open the right doors and close the wrong ones, leading them both according to Your perfect will. Fill their hearts with Your love, and help them to grow in faith, integrity, and Christlike character. May Your name be glorified in all that they do.

In the mighty name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.

We encourage you to continue seeking the Lord in this season, trusting that He knows the desires of your heart and will guide you according to His perfect plan. Remember the words of Jeremiah 29:11, "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." Hold fast to this promise, and rest in the assurance that God’s plans for you are always for your good and His glory. If this relationship is not part of His plan, trust that He has something even better in store for you. Keep your heart open to His leading, and continue to seek Him above all else.

We know how hard that in-between space can feel, holding genuine affection for someone while not knowing whether the relationship is meant to grow or fade. The waiting often pulls at our hearts more than a clear yes or no would. Yet your prayer already shows you’re handling this in the right way, by placing the whole thing in God’s hands and honestly saying, “Not my will, but Yours be done.” That kind of surrender doesn’t make the ache go away, but it does keep you anchored.

One thing that might help during the uncertainty is to shift your attention for a while from “is this the one?” to “who am I becoming in this season?” Instead of trying to read signs in his responses (or lack of them), you could focus on your own walk right now, your own peace, your own growth, your own connection to God. That doesn’t mean you stop caring, but it can free you from the anxious mental loop that uncertainty creates. Sometimes clarity about a relationship comes only after we stop pressing for it and instead quietly live life fully in front of the Lord.

If the lack of a phone call or deeper conversation weighs on you, you might simply let him know, with warmth and without pressure, that you would like to connect more directly when he’s ready. After that, try not to fill in the silence with fear. His response (or delay) will be one data point that helps you see the direction things are taking. But even more, you’ll learn by watching the peace in your own heart whether this is drawing you closer to God or stirring up anxiety that steals your rest.

We’re praying with you now, trusting that whatever path lies ahead, with this man or without, you are held by a completely trustworthy Father.

Jesus, thank You for this person’s honest heart. Quiet the fears and the what-ifs, and give a deep sense of Your nearness while they wait. If this relationship is part of Your plan, open the doors no one can shut and give both of them courage to move forward in integrity. If You have a different path, grant the grace to release it without bitterness and to keep trusting Your goodness. Either way, let them rest tonight in the certainty that they are fully loved by You. In Your name, amen.

 

[Spurgeon]

You do well to bow your heart before the throne of grace, saying, "Not my will, but Thine be done." That is the language of a soul that has learned something of the sweet art of submission. But let us be very sure that we put no idol in the place of Christ. The heart is deceitful above all things, and it is a cunning trick of our nature to wrap up self-will in the garments of pious resignation. Your prayer breathes much of fear and longing, and I am tender toward you, yet I must ask: Is this affection set upon a mortal man your chief treasure, or is Jesus Christ your all in all? The Lord will have no rival; He must be first, or He is nothing.

You speak of a "boyfriend" and a "chatmate" from a distant land. I know nothing of the man, but I know this: if he is not a true child of God, washed in the precious blood, then there can be no yoking together. "Can two walk together, except they be agreed?" The Spirit saith, "Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers." The fondest hopes of a maiden's heart are but a spider's web if they are not spun from the silk of God's covenant. If this man fears the Lord and walks in His ways, then wait upon the Lord in all purity and honour, letting no lightness of speech or laxity of conduct stain your conversation. But if he gives no evidence of the new birth, then flee from a fond alliance as you would from a spreading plague. Your prayer is sweet, but I charge you to make your own calling and election sure first, and then see to it that you build no house upon the sand.

Mark you, the will of God is not a thing to be guessed at by flutterings of the heart or by pleasant dreams of future bliss. God's will is revealed in His Word. He bids you be holy, for He is holy. He commands you to do all things to His glory. Does this friendship kindle your love to Christ, or does it steal away the hours once spent at the mercy-seat? Does it make you more heavenly-minded, or does it fill your mind with vain communings and foolish imaginations? The heart is an idol factory, and it will fashion a lover into a god before you know it. Put that idol to the test: if it takes the place of Christ, then dash it to pieces, though it cost you tears of blood.

I hear you ask for courage, openness, and a meaningful call, but the best courage is the courage to wait God's time and to be content with His answer, even if it be "No." "If the Lord wills" must be written across all our hopes. Too often we say, "I will this, I will that," like the merchants in James who forgot to bow to the sovereign sway of God. Your blessed Lord in Gethsemane is your pattern: He said, "If it be possible," but then, "Nevertheless, not as I will, but as Thou wilt." You cannot push open a door that God has shut, nor should you desire to. Trust Him, child, for He is too wise to be mistaken, too good to be unkind.

And what a mercy it is that if you are in Christ, you are a jewel plucked from the fire, a brand snatched from the burning! You who have tasted that the Lord is gracious, will He now cast you off? Will He lead you into a path that mars your soul? Never! Not a hair of your head shall fall to the ground without His ordering. If this relationship is for your good and His glory, it shall come to pass, and all the fogs and delays shall prove but the chariot of His providence. But if it is not, He will make you sing, "He hath done all things well," though the sweetest cup be dashed from your lips.

Only rest wholly upon Jesus for your soul's salvation. There is the fountain of all true peace. You will never have a right view of earthly loves till you have first seen yourself utterly lost and undone in yourself, and saved alone by the grace of God in Christ. Him that cometh to Him He will in no wise cast out. Come with all your sins, your fears, your tangled affections, and lay them at His pierced feet. When you can say, "My Beloved is mine, and I am His," then all other loves will fall into their proper place.

Be watchful, for you are a witness for Christ. The world will cross-examine you. If your hope in this relationship grows so feverish that you neglect secret prayer, or your thoughts become worldly, then know that the enemy has beguiled you. Flee to the wounds of Jesus for shelter; there is no other cure for an idolatrous heart. And if this man be a true servant of the Lord, then pray that your union may be such that together you may serve Christ, helping one another along the narrow way. But if he draws you from the cross, then tear him from your bosom though it be to pluck out a right eye.

I would to God you might be able to say, "I trust my soul in Jesus' hands, and I trust my every earthly care to the same dear Father." Then you will not be frantic for a phone call, nor will your peace ebb and flow with his attention. The peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your heart and mind through Christ Jesus. Wait, I say, on the Lord. Be of good courage, and He shall strengthen thine heart; wait, I say, on the Lord.

And remember that the Chief end of your existence is not to be loved by a man, but to glorify God and to enjoy Him forever. God made you for Himself, and your heart will be unquiet till it rests in Him. If He grants you the honorable estate of matrimony with a godly husband, bless His name. If He calls you to singleness, rejoice that you may attend upon the Lord without distraction. In either case, Christ is your portion, and that is enough for time and for eternity. God's jewels are often cut and polished in the darkness of disappointment; yet they shall shine all the brighter in the day when He makes up His peculiar treasure.

[Chrysostom]

You have brought before God your hopes for this relationship, and I see a soul desiring to surrender to His will. That is well. But let me speak plainly: the path you are walking is a narrow one, and many have stumbled upon it unprepared. Do not think that because you pray for guidance, you can neglect the commandments of God. You call him your "boyfriend", what is this bond before the Lord? Is it a preparing for marriage, a holy friendship, or is there already the shadow of sin cast over your communications? For the tongue that is used for foolish talking or for inflaming passion cannot also lift up holy hands without wrath and disputing. Adorn your speech with blessing, with the law of the Most High, not with words that excite laughter or feed desire. If this man is to be your husband, let him seek you in the way of righteousness, with purity, with a clear intention to build a house for the Lord. But if there is any hint of uncleanness, flee from it, for evil communications corrupt good manners.

You ask God to open a way for a phone call or video call; but examine what you will speak. Will it edify, or will it puff up? Will it draw you closer to Christ, or will it enkindle a fire that is not yet lawful? I charge you, then: make your faith effectual by works. Do not rest in the name of praying for God’s will while your actions stray from it. Remember, the demons also pray, though in vain. The true child of God is known by character, not by words. If you love this man, desire his salvation above all; encourage him to fear God, to keep his body in sanctification and honor. And if he will not, then better to lose an earthly affection than to lose your own soul.

Trust indeed that God is faithful; He will not suffer you to be tempted beyond what you can bear. But that promise is for those who struggle and flee from sin, not for those who linger near the flame. So I say to you: while you entrust this to the Father, also entrust your own heart to perfect obedience. Let your communication be such that Christ would sit in your midst. And if the outcome is not what you now wish, give thanks, for God sometimes closes a door to open a better one, or to spare us from a hidden pit. Go now, and let your prayer be not only on your lips but engraven on your soul, as wax softened by the fire of His truth, receiving the royal image of His Son.

 

[Silas]

I read your prayer, and I can see how deeply you desire God’s will in this relationship. That surrender you expressed, “not my will, but Yours be done”, is a cry the Lord always honors. Yet I want to gently shift your focus to something even more foundational: the kind of relationship you yourself have with God right now, before any other human relationship can flourish as it should.

So much of our restlessness comes from treating our connection with the Lord like a contract. We do the right things, we avoid the wrong things, we bring Him our lists, and then we anxiously wait to see if He’ll come through on the terms we’ve set. I lived that way for years, measuring my righteousness by what I didn’t do, and there was no peace in it, only a quiet, gnawing fear that I wasn’t doing enough. What changed everything was discovering not a legal arrangement with God but a living, loving fellowship. When you know, deep in your bones, that He loves you, not because you’ve performed well but because you belong to Jesus, the whole weight lifts. You stop striving to earn His favor and simply start enjoying Him. And strangely, you find you want to please Him more than ever, not out of dread but out of affection.

That’s the first thing I’d encourage you to examine: Do you have that intimate, childlike trust in your heavenly Father? Are you resting in His love, or are you still trying to secure it by getting this one situation right? Because here is the truth that runs through all of Scripture: when your relationship with God is whole and healthy, every other relationship begins to find its proper place. You can always trace your relational tensions back to a disconnect with Him. Get that vertical bond right, and the horizontal ones start to align, not necessarily to your preferred outcome, but to His good, peaceful will.

So rather than fixating on whether this man will call, or whether he’ll become intentional, or even whether he is “the one,” pour that energy into drawing near to the Lord who already knows the end from the beginning. Let your first prayer be, “Father, make me so secure in Your love that I can hold this relationship loosely. Let me want You more than I want any human reassurance.” From that place, you’ll be able to see clearly. You won’t be driven by the fear of missing out or the ache of loneliness; you’ll be able to evaluate whether a friendship is building on faith, honesty, and genuine love, or simply feeding your insecurity.

Notice how the Ten Commandments are laid out: the first four govern our relationship with God, and only then come the ones about how we treat each other. That’s not an accident. If your heart is fixed on loving Him wholeheartedly, the way you love another person will be transformed. You’ll be patient where you used to be demanding. You’ll trust where you used to panic. You’ll walk in integrity not because rules say so, but because sin has lost its appeal when you’re captivated by a greater beauty.

The change you’re longing to see in him, courage, sincerity, intentional love, can’t be manufactured by your prayers alone. It has to be the fruit of his own relationship with the Lord. And you cannot control that. What you can control is your own communion with Jesus. Let that be your daily obsession. When your soul is filled with His presence, you won’t need a phone call to feel secure. You’ll be able to wait in quiet confidence, knowing that if God is closing a door, it’s because He has something better, and if He opens it, He’ll give you the grace to walk through it wisely.

I encourage you to let go of the timeline and the conditions. Instead of asking God to “order his steps according to Your perfect plan,” ask God to order your steps. Offer Him your loneliness, your hopes, your fears, and let Him teach you what it means to be truly loved by Him first. From that overflow, you’ll be equipped to love any person in a way that is patient, kind, free of selfishness, and unafraid.

You’ve placed this relationship in God’s hands, now leave it there. Go enjoy your Father. Let Him delight over you. The rest will take care of itself in His time and in His way.
