Ex-boyfriend

Good and Faithful Servant
Please pray for my ex-boyfriend as he has experienced DEEP trauma and abuse in his life which he thinks he has healed from but there are indications he has not. Pray he would be led to the true gospel of Jesus Christ. Thank you.
 
We join with you in lifting up your ex-boyfriend before the throne of grace, and we thank you for your compassionate heart toward him and your desire for him to know the true gospel of Jesus Christ.

We are reminded that deep trauma and abuse leave wounds that only the Lord can truly heal. A person may believe he has moved on or healed himself, but without Christ the brokenness remains. The Word tells us, He heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds. Psalm 147:3 and Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit. Psalm 34:18. We pray that he will come to see his need for the Great Physician, not merely coping or covering pain, but receiving the complete restoration that comes through Jesus.

We also rejoice that you pointed to the true gospel of Jesus Christ, for there is no other way to the Father and no other name by which we are saved. Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me. John 14:6 and that 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. Romans 10:9. We pray that the Lord in His mercy will place people, Scripture, and circumstances in your ex-boyfriend's path to draw him to that saving truth, that the Holy Spirit would open his eyes to see his need for a Savior, to repent and believe, and to become a new creation in Christ where the old things have passed away and all things have become new. 2 Corinthians 5:17.

We want to gently encourage you as well regarding this relationship. We believe that being a boyfriend or girlfriend is to be understood as courtship with the goal of marriage between a man and a woman to another Christian believer, honoring God in purity and purpose. Since he is now your ex-boyfriend, we encourage you to guard your heart with wisdom, Keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it is the wellspring of life. Proverbs 4:23. Continue to pray for him with godly love, but also entrust him fully to the Lord and maintain healthy boundaries that honor God. If he comes to genuine faith in Christ and healing, the Lord can make His will clear, but we pray above all that each of you would seek a godly spouse and a marriage that honors Christ, and not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. 2 Corinthians 6:14.

Let us pray together.

Father in heaven, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, our only mediator and hope. We lift up this young man who has endured deep trauma and abuse. You see every wound, every memory, every hidden pain that he carries and may not even recognize. We ask that You would bind up his broken heart and proclaim liberty to his captive soul. Isaiah 61:1. Draw him by Your Spirit to the true gospel, remove any false understanding or deception, and lead him to repentance and faith in Jesus. Heal him completely, restore health to him and heal him of his wounds, as You have promised. Jeremiah 30:17. Let him know that You are near and that true healing and wholeness are found only in Your Son. We also pray for the one who submitted this request, give her peace, wisdom, and discernment as she prays and as she walks forward in purity and in Your will. Let her trust in You with all her heart and not lean on her own understanding. Proverbs 3:5-6. We ask all of this in the mighty and saving name of Jesus Christ, amen.
 
Thank you for caring enough to bring your ex-boyfriend to the Lord in prayer even though the relationship has ended. It is hard to watch someone you care about carry deep wounds and believe he is past them while you still see hurt coming through.

We hear how much you want him to know real healing, not just coping, and for that healing to be rooted in Jesus. Abuse can affect every part of a person, how they see themselves, others, and even God, and healing often happens slowly as deeper layers come to light over time. Seeing signs that he is still hurting does not mean he has failed, it often means there is more that still needs gentle, safe attention.

One steady way to love him now is to keep entrusting him to God in prayer while letting God be the one to do the healing work. If you are still in contact and he is open, you might simply let him know you are praying for him and, if he ever wants it, you could help him find a trusted pastor or Christian counselor to talk with. You do not need to carry the role of helping him work through the trauma yourself. We are standing with you in prayer for him.

Father, we lift this young man to You. You see the deep hurt he has carried and the ways it still affects him. Please draw him to Yourself through the true gospel of Jesus Christ, bring healing where there is still pain, and surround him with safe people who can support him well. Give our friend wisdom and peace as she continues to pray and trust You with his story. In Jesus' name we pray, amen.
 
We have heard your prayer and we join you in bringing this soul before the Lord who alone can save and heal.

You have asked rightly, that he would be led to the true gospel of Jesus Christ, for there is no other salvation. The Scripture says, Whoever believes on Him shall not be ashamed. The way of salvation is to believe on Christ, to trust in Him, to look to Him and live. Sin is the only qualification for coming to Jesus, and His gospel wears no veil but exhibits all its glory plainly, that even the most burdened and broken may understand it and be wise unto salvation.

You speak of deep trauma and abuse, and of wounds that remain though he thinks himself healed. We know there is an abundance of healing power in Jesus Christ and His salvation. Not only is His fruit sweet and nourishing, but the very leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations. The least thing about Christ is healing. His leaves change the life blood and make the nature other than it was before. When the Sun of Righteousness rises upon a soul with healing in His wings, pardon and healing become one, for He says, Son, be of good cheer, your sins are forgiven you. Where would salvation itself be without pardon, and what glorious gospel could there be if sin could not be cancelled.

We will pray that the Lord, who has concluded all in unbelief that He might have mercy upon all, will show this man his need and draw him to look to Christ alone. That the plain gospel of salvation by Divine Grace through faith in Christ Jesus would be set plainly before him, not in grand language, but as bread for the hungry. That he would see that salvation is not in himself, nor in any outward thing, but in the Person of Christ, for He Himself is salvation. And that the healing virtue of His grace would work in him health and cure till body and soul are made whole.

Continue to scatter the leaves where you can. Speak the simple gospel as you have opportunity, and commit the work to God in prayer, for we can bring the horse to water but we cannot make him drink. Only the Lord can give faith, and without it there is no salvation. Having received mercy yourself, you are right to desire that same mercy for him.

Let us pray. O Lord God of our salvation, have mercy upon this wounded soul. Thou seest the deep trauma he has suffered and the hidden wounds that still bleed. Lord, reveal to him that he is not yet whole, and lead him to Jesus Christ, the true arbor vitae whose leaves are for healing. Grant him to hear the true and plain gospel and to believe on Thy Son whom Thou hast laid in Zion for a foundation. Forgive his sins through the atoning blood of Christ, and let pardon bring healing. Save him, we beseech Thee, for Thy name's sake, that he may not be ashamed who trusts in Thee. Work in him a new life and deliver him from the power of sin. We ask this in the name of Jesus Christ our only Saviour. Amen.
 
May God in Jesus' name answer your prayer request according to God's perfect love, wisdom, will, timing, grace, and mercy. God is so in love with you. Be Encouraged!

Heal Me Lord Jesus Spirit, Soul, And Body
 
Thank you for entrusting this burden to prayer. We join you in bringing this man before the Lord with compassion and hope.

We pray that God would have mercy on him in his deep wounds from trauma and abuse. What he has suffered is real, and the pain that remains even when he believes he is healed is known to God. We ask that the Lord would not leave him in that hidden hurt, but would bring true healing which comes only through Christ.

We pray as the Scriptures teach, that the veil would be lifted from his eyes. There is a veil that hides the gospel and a veil upon the understanding, and only God can unveil both. We ask that God would unveil to him the Gospel of Righteousness, the gospel that does not only cover sin but makes a person righteous through faith in Jesus Christ alone. Outside of Christ there is no salvation and no lasting wholeness, but in Him there is both forgiveness of sins and new life.

We pray that God would give him a Godly mind, a heart where God Himself dwells, and that his manner of life would keep pace with the gospel. For salvation requires more than being freed from one burden. It requires a careful hearing of the word, a continual remembering of it, fortitude in walking with Christ, and turning from worldly ways to follow Him fully. We ask that God would lead him to hear the word of God faithfully, to believe it, and to obey it.

We pray that he would be led to the true gospel of Jesus Christ, that he would see Christ as He is, trust in His death and resurrection for the salvation of the world, and receive the healing and righteousness that only Jesus can give.

We also pray for you, that God would give you wisdom, peace, and strength to walk in a way that honors Him, to pray with love while keeping a life that is consistent with the gospel, and to entrust this man fully to the Lord's care. May the Lord comfort you and guide you as you continue to seek Him.
 
Thank you for sharing this burden and for caring enough to bring this young man before the Lord in prayer. It is right to pray for him, and we join you in that prayer.

Deep trauma and abuse leave wounds that run very deep, and it is understandable that someone might think he has moved past them while still carrying their effects. God sees what has been done to him and He sees the pain that remains. True healing does not come from simply trying to cope or telling ourselves we are better. It comes from the power of God to save and to restore, and that power is found only in the gospel of Jesus Christ.

The gospel is the good news that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and that through Him God has provided salvation. From the beginning that message has been proclaimed as the power of God unto salvation to everyone who believes. Jesus Himself came preaching the good news of the kingdom of God, saying that the time is fulfilled and the kingdom of God is at hand, calling all to repent and believe the good news. To repent is to turn from sin and from trusting in ourselves, and to believe is to put complete trust in Jesus as Savior and Lord.

Scripture warns that there are many perversions of this good news that are not good news at all. Any message that says a person must earn favor with God by works or by being good enough is not the true gospel. The true gospel is the gospel of grace, that salvation is offered through faith in Jesus Christ alone, because of what He has done. His very name means the Lord is salvation. He alone saves His people from their sins. We cannot work for our salvation. We are called to work out what God has worked in us, living in a way that fits the gospel, in purity and holiness, putting away the things of the flesh and walking according to the Spirit, but that life follows salvation, it does not earn it.

We are praying that God in His mercy will lead this young man to hear and understand that true gospel, that the Holy Spirit will open his heart to see his need for Christ, to repent and to place his faith fully in Jesus, and that he will experience the power of God to save and to bring real healing to those deep places of hurt. The gospel, when it is truly received, bears fruit and brings new life, and we pray that fruit would be seen in him.

We also encourage you to continue to entrust both him and yourself to the Lord. Pray for him, desire his salvation above all, and walk yourself in purity and holiness before God. God’s design for intimacy is within the lifelong covenant of marriage between one man and one woman, and the most loving thing we can do for anyone is to want them to know Christ and to live in a way that honors Him. Trust the Lord to do His work in this young man’s life in His perfect way and timing, and rest in the knowledge that God is both just and compassionate and that He draws near to the brokenhearted.

May the Lord give you wisdom and peace as you pray, and may He bring this young man to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ.
 
Thank you for giving us the privilege to pray on your behalf and for asking us to stand in agreement with you in prayer for your ex boyfriend. We are glad that you trusted us to bring his deep trauma and abuse before the Lord with you.

We have continued to lift him up in prayer and we ask the Lord to reveal to him the places in his heart that still need healing even though he thinks he has healed. We pray that God would gently show him his need for true healing and wholeness that only comes through Jesus Christ and that He would lead him to the true gospel of Jesus Christ and to a saving faith in Him. We pray that the Lord would draw close to him as the One who is close to the brokenhearted Psalm 34:18 and who heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds Psalm 147:3.

We stand with you in this in Jesus Name. If your request was answered and you have seen God begin to heal his heart or draw him toward the gospel please post a praise report and let us all know. If your request does not yet seem to have been answered please post it again as a new request and allow us to continue with you in prayer.

May God bless you as you continue to seek Him through His Son Jesus Christ.

I recently broke up with an ex-boyfriend because we are very unequally yoked and the relationship never should have begun in the first place - I knew from the beginning it was outside of God's will but I was lonely and being disobedient and fleshly and became involved with him. In the aftermath...
