Entrusting ### ❤️❤️❤️

[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 we join with you in seeking the Lord’s will for your life and the life of this man you have mentioned. Your desire to trust God’s timing and wisdom is commendable, and we see a sincere longing to honor Him in this relationship. Let us first affirm the truth that all things, including relationships, are under God’s sovereign care, and His plans for you are good (Jeremiah 29:11).

However, we must gently address a few concerns in your prayer. You refer to this man as your "boyfriend," and while we understand the affection and hope you have for him, Scripture is clear that the term "boyfriend" is not a biblical concept. Courtship, with the intent of marriage, is the godly framework for a man and woman pursuing one another. The relationship you describe should be approached with the seriousness of seeking a future spouse, not merely a companion. The Bible calls us to flee from sexual immorality (1 Corinthians 6:18), and even the emotional intimacy of a relationship outside the bounds of marriage can lead to temptation and compromise if not guarded carefully. We encourage you to prayerfully consider whether this relationship is moving toward marriage or if it is simply a friendship that may be leading to emotional dependency outside of God’s design.

Additionally, while your prayer is beautiful and sincere, we must emphasize that it is only through the name of Jesus Christ that we have access to the Father (John 14:6). There is no other name by which we can be saved (Acts 4:12), and it is by His blood alone that we are made righteous before God. If this man does not yet know Jesus as his Lord and Savior, we urge you to prioritize his salvation above all else. A marriage built on anything other than Christ will struggle to stand firm in the storms of life (Matthew 7:24-27). If he is a believer, then we rejoice with you and pray that God would deepen his faith and commitment to you both.

Let us now lift this situation before the Lord together:

Heavenly Father, we come before You with humble hearts, acknowledging that You alone know the deepest desires of our souls. We lift up this sister in Christ and the man she has mentioned, asking that You would draw him closer to You. Lord, if he does not yet know You as Savior, we pray that You would open his eyes to the truth of the Gospel, that Jesus Christ died for his sins and rose again so that he might have eternal life (Romans 10:9). If he is already a believer, we ask that You would strengthen his faith and help him to seek You first in all things.

Father, we ask that You would guide their communication and interactions. If this relationship is Your will, we pray that You would make it clear to both of them, that they would seek marriage with purity and intentionality. Help them to honor You in their words, thoughts, and actions, fleeing from temptation and walking in holiness (1 Thessalonians 4:3-5). If this is not Your plan for them, give them the grace to accept Your will and to trust in Your goodness.

Lord, we pray that You would protect their hearts from impatience, fear, or selfishness. Help them to love one another as You have loved us, with patience, kindness, and selflessness (1 Corinthians 13:4-7). May their relationship be a reflection of Your love, built on a foundation of faith and truth.

We surrender this situation into Your hands, trusting that You will open the right doors and close the wrong ones. Give this sister the peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7), and help her to rest in the assurance that Your plans for her are good. May Your will be done in both of their lives, for Your glory and their joy.

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

We encourage you to continue seeking the Lord’s will above your own desires. Spend time in His Word, asking Him to reveal His heart for this relationship. If this man is not a believer, consider whether it is wise to pursue a deeper connection with him, as Scripture warns us not to be unequally yoked with unbelievers (2 Corinthians 6:14). If he is a believer, pray that God would give you both wisdom and clarity as you discern whether marriage is His plan for you. Trust that God’s timing is perfect, and His ways are higher than our own (Isaiah 55:8-9). May He guide your steps and fill your heart with His peace.

We feel the ache behind your words, the longing for clarity, the weight of waiting for someone else to show up and be intentional. It is genuinely hard to sit in that unknown space, checking for a message or a call and wondering where you stand. What comes through most is your desire to honor God in this, and that speaks well of your heart.

One thing we've noticed is that sometimes a person's uncertainty about us can start to feel like a verdict on our worth. It isn't. While you wait for him to sort out his own readiness, don't let the waiting consume the life and relationships God has already given you right where you are. Pour your energy into the people, work, and community in front of you today. A relationship that draws you away from being present in your own life, even unintentionally, is one worth watching carefully. People going through times of stress or uncertainty often pull back from the very connections that would strengthen them, so lean into your local friendships and church family right now rather than letting this one undefined connection take up all the emotional room.

We're praying with you in this: Lord, you see the whole picture here, and you know what's in this man's heart and what's best for both of them. Quiet the anxiety of waiting and ground her in the security of being fully known and loved by you. Give her wisdom to hold this relationship with an open hand and the patience not to carry all the weight of making it work. In Jesus' name, amen.

[Spurgeon]

The cry of your heart ascends mingled with a sweet savour of humble surrender, yet I would press you further into this blessed school of yielding. You have learned to say, "Not my will, but Yours be done," and that is well, for God's will is the axle of the universe, and in grace He is King, having mercy on whom He will have mercy. But have you also learned that the surest way to have your way is to have your way swallowed up in God's? There is a holy boldness that prays, "Father, I will," when the heart is so intertwined with Christ that its desires are the echoes of His own. And yet the truest child bends low and adds, "Not as I will." You see, these two prayers breathe in one breast. You may pour out your longing for this man to become intentional and for communication to flourish, for the Lord loves to hear the honest petitions of His children. But oh, that you would cling to the second prayer with equal tenacity! If the path should close, will you kiss the hand that shuts the door? If he should not move forward, will you trust that God's withholding is a greater mercy than your receiving? This is the diamond that scratches glass, the faith that remains uncut by the sharpest file of disappointment.

I must speak plainly, for a half-surrendered love is a snare. You entrust this man to God, yet I hear the quiver of fear, fear that he will not respond, fear that the relationship will falter. What if the Lord's will is to withhold what you crave, not from anger but from a depth of love you cannot fathom? Remember, God's people have their treasure not in ready money but in promises to pay, and He will not leave His purpose half accomplished. If this man is to be a brand plucked from the fire for your mutual good and God's glory, no power can prevent it. But if he is not, I charge you, do not despise the furnace that refines you. Daniel's reputation was cast into the den, yet there was a resurrection not only of bodies but of reputations. Your trust in Christ is your best evidence that you are reconciled to God, and that same trust must now be lived out in the dark corridor of waiting. You will not sneak comfortably into heaven without bearing witness here, and your calm reliance upon God's disposal of this affection is a loud testimony indeed.

Now, as to this man's heart, you do well to pray for courage to be planted within him, but listen: if he must be won by your coaxing or your anxiety, he is won to you and not to the Lord. Desire rather that God would so work in him that he would be made willing in the day of divine power, for salvation is of God's will, and so is every step of a true and lasting union. Your prayer for protection from misunderstanding and doubt is wise, but the deepest protection is found in bowing your head and accepting that the Lord's ways are not your ways. If He ordains that this cup pass from you, will you drink instead the cup of singleness or of another future and still declare, "You are my God"? The Lord will say to those who were not His people, "You are My people," and He will do it on His own terms and in His own time. When He does, all the "shalls" and "wills" of His promise will rush in like a flood.

Therefore, go now and bear witness. You have cast yourself upon His mercy; now leave the outcome there. If you sense a holy desire within you, pray with boldness, "Father, I will," yet only as a preface to the deeper song, "However, not as I will, but as You will." The Lord will not cast off forever. His promise may tarry, but it never fails. Trust Him with the phone call that may never come, with the future you cannot arrange. The best profit of your waiting will be doing God's will, and in that school you shall learn to teach others.

[Chrysostom]

You do well to entrust this matter to God with a humble heart, for indeed “not my will, but Yours be done” is the medicine for every restless desire. Yet I would urge you to remember that the tongue with which we pray must be kept pure in all your communications. Lift up holy hands without wrath and disputing, and let your words with this young man, however distant, be seasoned with grace. Let all your communication be in the law of the Most High. Do you fill your messages with the rehearsal of God’s laws, with that almsgiving of speech which edifies and encourages in faith? Evil communications corrupt good morals; a soul is either inflamed or cooled by what it hears.

Consider that the communication of faith becomes effectual only through works. You desire him to be intentional and serious, but is he a partaker with you in the faith that works by love? If you share one faith, then your speech should bear fruit in godliness, not merely in pleasant banter or anxious hopes. Beware of opening your whole heart too quickly. The prophet said, “Trust ye not in friends, have no hope in guides; yea, even of her that lieth in thy bosom beware,” for a man’s enemies are often those of his own household. I do not say he is an enemy, but I urge you to entrust your heart first to God, who alone is without guile.

Observe the wise men following the star: when it was hidden, they did not rush forward by their own judgment, but made inquiry of those who knew the prophecies. So you, while you await clear guidance, seek counsel from the Scriptures and the Church. Do not be anxious to force a call or greater closeness; if God wills it, He will order his steps as surely as He guided that star to Bethlehem.

Let every word be for edifying, that you may give grace to the hearer. Discipline him in silence toward evil, teach him to revile no man, speak of contrition, of almsgiving, these things soften the soul. If your conversations descend into frivolity or fleshly talk, you inflame rather than build up. The soul blushes to utter filthy communication, and if you would not speak thus before your family or in the church, do you not blush that God hears all?

Remain in prayer, but likewise in patience. If this relationship be of God, it will bear the fruit of the Spirit, not anxiety. Condescend to his low estate, weep with him if he weeps, but do not let your heart be troubled. You have placed it in His loving hands; now trust, and keep your own hands holy.
