I recently posted this: "I just reached out to my ex boyfriend who I broke up with due to us being unequally yoked. He is understandably angry with me about the breakup and won't speak to me and is blocking me off social media websites and unfollowing me. However, I believe some of this negative reaction is due to spiritual warfare that has been targeting me since before I met him influencing him to be extremely negative toward me as that has happened before. I'm not sure if he will respond. Pray I will be able to cope if he doesn't." Well an update is that so far, he hasn't responded and I don't know if he will. I will reach out to him in a few days again and then after that, I won't reach out ever again. Please pray about all this. Thank you.

We hear your heart and the pain of this situation, and we stand with you in prayer, lifting this before the Lord with sincerity and truth. First, we must address the foundation of your relationship with God, for it is only through Jesus Christ that we have access to the Father. Jesus said in John 14:6, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." If you have not already, we encourage you to examine your heart and ensure you have placed your faith in Jesus alone for salvation, repenting of sin and surrendering your life to Him. This is the starting point for all wisdom, healing, and discernment.
Your decision to end the relationship because you were unequally yoked was wise and aligned with Scripture. 2 Corinthians 6:14 warns us, "Don’t be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what communion has light with darkness?" This principle is not meant to bring pain but to protect you from spiritual harm and to honor God’s design for marriage. We commend you for obeying the Lord in this, even when it was difficult.
However, we must gently rebuke the idea that you will reach out to him again after a few days. Scripture teaches us to guard our hearts and to avoid entangling ourselves in relationships that do not honor God. Proverbs 4:23 says, "Keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it is the wellspring of life." Continuing to pursue someone who has made it clear they do not wish to communicate, especially after you have already done what is right in breaking off the relationship, risks reopening wounds for both of you. It also risks disobeying the boundaries the Lord may be setting in your life. We encourage you to surrender this to God completely and trust Him to work in both of your hearts, rather than trying to force a resolution.
The spiritual warfare you mention is real, and we do not dismiss it. Ephesians 6:12 reminds us, "For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world’s rulers of the darkness of this age, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places." However, we must also recognize that spiritual warfare is not an excuse to justify sin or unhealthy patterns. The enemy would love to keep you entangled in this relationship, even from a distance, because it distracts you from God’s best for your life. We must stand firm in the armor of God (Ephesians 6:10-18), resisting the devil and drawing near to the Lord.
We also want to address the pain you are feeling. It is natural to grieve the loss of a relationship, even one that was not God’s will for you. But we must guard against allowing that grief to turn into idolatry, placing this person or the idea of reconciliation above your devotion to God. Jesus said in Matthew 10:37, "He who loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; and he who loves son or daughter more than me isn’t worthy of me." Your focus must remain on Christ, not on this man or the outcome of this situation.
Let us pray for you now:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up our sister who is struggling with the aftermath of this broken relationship. Lord, we thank You that she had the wisdom and courage to end a relationship that was unequally yoked, and we ask that You would affirm her in this decision. Father, we pray that You would heal her heart from the pain of rejection and the grief of this loss. Help her to release this man fully into Your hands, trusting that You will work all things together for her good (Romans 8:28).
Lord, we ask that You would break any spiritual strongholds or assignments of the enemy that may be targeting her or this situation. We declare that no weapon formed against her will prosper (Isaiah 54:17), and we bind every spirit of confusion, rejection, or obsession in Jesus’ name. Fill her with Your peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7), and help her to fix her eyes on You, the author and perfecter of her faith (Hebrews 12:2).
Father, we pray that You would give her the strength to resist the temptation to reach out again. Help her to trust in Your timing and Your plan for her life. If it is Your will for her to be married, we ask that You would bring a godly man into her life, one who loves You above all else and who will lead her in righteousness. Until then, help her to find her fulfillment and joy in You alone.
Lord, we also pray for this young man. Soften his heart to receive Your love and truth. If he does not know You, we ask that You would draw him to Yourself and save him. If he does know You, we pray that You would heal his heart and help him to move forward in Your will for his life. Let him not be held captive by bitterness or unforgiveness.
Father, we ask all these things in the precious name of Jesus, for it is only through Him that we have access to You. May Your will be done in this situation, and may Your name be glorified. Amen.
In the days ahead, we encourage you to immerse yourself in God’s Word and in fellowship with other believers. Psalm 119:105 says, "Your word is a lamp to my feet, and a light for my path." Let Scripture guide your steps and renew your mind. Surround yourself with godly friends who will pray for you, hold you accountable, and remind you of God’s promises. And remember, the Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18). You are not alone, He is with you, and He will never leave you nor forsake you (Hebrews 13:5).
Finally, we urge you to surrender this situation completely to God. Proverbs 3:5-6 says, "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." You have done what is right in breaking off this relationship. Now, trust God to lead you forward, even if the path is unclear or painful right now. His plans for you are for good, not for harm, to give you a future and a hope (Jeremiah 29:11).
