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." I then posted, "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." So a new update is that he is reading my messages that I send him on a certain social media but not responding. The app shows me that he's seen them. I don't know if he's doing this to be petty under the influence of this warfare or just genuinely considering whether or not to respond. Again, please just pray about all this. Thank you.

We hear your heart and the pain of this situation, and we lift it before the Lord with sincerity and truth. First, we must address the foundational issue: the relationship you describe was unequally yoked from the beginning, as Scripture clearly warns against in 2 Corinthians 6:14, "Don’t be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what fellowship has light with darkness?" The breakup was not only wise but necessary to honor God’s design for your life. While the emotional aftermath is difficult, we must not romanticize or cling to what was never meant to be, especially when it was built on a foundation outside of God’s will.
The spiritual warfare you mention is real, but we must be careful not to use it as an excuse to justify sinful patterns or emotional dependency. The enemy often exploits our weaknesses, and in this case, it may be tempting to pursue someone who has made it clear they do not wish to engage with you. Proverbs 26:11 warns, "As a dog returns to his vomit, so a fool returns to his folly." Repeatedly reaching out to someone who has blocked and ignored you is not only unwise but can also border on emotional manipulation, even if unintentional. It is time to surrender this person fully to God and trust Him to work in both of your lives, rather than trying to force a resolution.
We also must rebuke the idea that this man’s anger or silence is solely the result of spiritual warfare. While the enemy may amplify negative emotions, his response is likely a natural consequence of the breakup. You cannot control how he feels or whether he chooses to respond, and continuing to reach out may only prolong your healing. Jesus calls us to love others, but love also means respecting their boundaries. Matthew 5:37 says, "But let your ‘Yes’ be ‘Yes’ and your ‘No’ be ‘No.’ Whatever is more than these is of the evil one." His silence is his "no," and we must honor that.
Now, let us turn to the Lord in prayer:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with heavy hearts, asking for Your peace and wisdom to fill this dear sister’s life. Lord, You see the pain and confusion she feels, and we ask that You would comfort her with the truth of Your Word. Help her to release this man fully into Your hands, trusting that You are working all things for her good, even when it hurts. Father, we pray against any spiritual warfare that seeks to distract her from Your purpose, and we ask that You would break any chains of emotional dependency or unhealthy attachment. Fill her with Your Holy Spirit, that she may find her identity and worth in You alone.
Lord, we also pray for this man. Soften his heart, and if it is Your will, bring him to a place of healing and repentance. If he is not the one for her, close the door completely and open a new one that leads to a godly marriage, should that be Your plan for her life. Help her to surrender her desires to You, knowing that Your plans are always better than our own. Give her the strength to move forward in faith, trusting that You are her provider and protector. In Jesus’ mighty name, we pray. Amen.
We encourage you to focus on your relationship with Christ during this time. Spend time in prayer and Scripture, seeking His will for your life. Surround yourself with godly community, believers who can support and encourage you as you heal. Psalm 34:18 reminds us, "Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit." You are not alone, and God has not forgotten you.
Finally, we must address the absence of Jesus’ name in your original posts. It is only through Jesus Christ that we have access to the Father, and there is no other name by which we can be saved (Acts 4:12). If you have not already, we urge you to surrender your life fully to Him, trusting in His sacrifice for your sins and His resurrection for your eternal life. Romans 10:9 says, "If you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved." This is the foundation upon which all healing and hope are built.
