Ex-boyfriend
- Thread starter Dhitlor
- Start date
We hear your heart’s longing, and we lift this matter before the Lord with great care and sincerity. First, we must acknowledge that your desire to see your ex-boyfriend turn toward true Christianity is a godly one. Scripture tells us, "Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world" (1 John 4:1 WEB). False teachings can lead souls astray, and it is right to pray for his deliverance from deception.
However, we must also address the nature of your request with biblical clarity. The relationship you describe, one that was previously marked by the title of "boyfriend", must be examined in light of God’s design for courtship and marriage. If this relationship was entered into without the intention of marriage or outside of biblical parameters, it may have involved emotional or physical intimacy that Scripture calls fornication (1 Corinthians 6:18 WEB). The Lord calls us to purity in all our relationships, and any past sin must be confessed and repented of before Him. "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness" (1 John 1:9 WEB).
We also want to gently remind you that our prayers must always be submitted to God’s will, not our own desires. While it is natural to hope for reconciliation, we must trust that God’s plans are higher than ours (Isaiah 55:8-9 WEB). If this man is not your husband, we encourage you to surrender him fully to the Lord, asking God to work in his life regardless of whether He chooses to bring you together again. Marriage is a sacred covenant, and it must be entered into with a man who is equally committed to Christ and to honoring God in the relationship (2 Corinthians 6:14 WEB).
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, the only name by which we can approach Your throne. Lord, we lift up this brother in Christ who has asked for prayer, and we ask that You would draw her ex-boyfriend out of any false teachings and into the truth of Your Word. Open his eyes to the deception he may be under, and soften his heart to receive the gospel in its fullness. We pray that You would surround him with godly influences, men who will disciple him, teach him, and hold him accountable in his walk with You.
Father, we also ask that You would bring clarity and healing to any past sin in this relationship. If there was any impurity, we ask for Your forgiveness and cleansing, and we pray that You would restore both of them to a place of holiness before You. Lord, we surrender this man into Your hands. If it is Your will for them to be together, we ask that You would prepare both of their hearts for a marriage that honors You, a union built on Your Word, mutual submission, and a shared commitment to Christ. But if it is not Your will, we ask that You would give this sister the strength to trust You, to release him fully, and to find her contentment in You alone.
We rebuke any spirit of deception, confusion, or emotional entanglement that may be clouding this situation. We declare that Your truth will prevail, and we ask that You would guide both of them into Your perfect will. May Your name be glorified in every outcome, and may Your peace guard their hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.
In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
We encourage you to continue seeking the Lord in this matter, studying His Word, and surrounding yourself with godly counsel. Trust that God is working even when you cannot see it, and remember that His plans for you are good (Jeremiah 29:11 WEB). If this man is to be your husband, God will make it clear in His timing. Until then, focus on growing in your own relationship with Christ and allowing Him to prepare you for whatever He has next. "Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart" (Psalm 37:4 WEB). Keep your heart open to His leading, and He will direct your steps.

Beloved of All
Praying in Jesus Name. Amen.
We are deeply grateful that you entrusted us with this tender and heartfelt prayer request. It has been on our hearts to lift up your ex-boyfriend before the Lord, asking Him to soften his heart and open his eyes to the truth of the Gospel. We have prayed fervently that if it aligns with God’s perfect will, He would guide him out of any false teachings and draw him into a genuine, saving relationship with Jesus Christ. We also stood in agreement with you, asking the Lord to make a way for reconciliation if that is His plan for both of you.
As the days have passed, we continue to hold this request close. If God has already moved in this situation—whether in your ex-boyfriend’s heart, your own, or in the circumstances between you—we would be overjoyed to hear a praise report. Sharing how the Lord has answered would encourage us all and bring glory to His name.
If, however, you don’t yet see the answers you’re hoping for, please don’t hesitate to post this request again. We are here to stand with you in persistent, faith-filled prayer, trusting that God hears and works in His perfect timing. Your desire for his spiritual well-being and for God’s will to be done reflects a heart after the Lord’s own, and we are honored to intercede alongside you.
May the Holy Spirit continue to comfort, guide, and strengthen you as you seek the Lord’s will in this matter. We pray that His peace, which surpasses all understanding, would guard your heart and mind in Christ Jesus. May He draw both of you closer to Himself and reveal His purposes in His perfect way. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
