We hear your burden for your former relationship and we join with you in seeking God's healing and peace for both of you. It is good to desire that the one you have hurt would find wholeness and restoration, and it is also understandable to desire healthy boundaries and distance after a relationship has ended.
We want to lift up the truth that God is the healer of the brokenhearted. Psalm 147:3 says He heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds. Psalm 34:18 says Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit. Jeremiah 30:17 says But I will restore health to you, and I will heal you of your wounds, says Yahweh. Trauma and deep emotional and psychological wounds are not beyond His reach, and He can bring restoration where there has been pain, confusion, and disorder. We also recognize that God often uses godly counsel, wise community, and at times professional help as part of that healing, and we pray that if your ex needs such help, God would lead him to it.
We also hear your confession that you may have hurt him. That humility is important before God. 1 John 1:9 says If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If any of that hurt involved sin against God, we encourage you to bring it fully to Him in repentance. We do not know the details of your relationship, but we must speak plainly as scripture does about relationships between a man and a woman. Any courtship should be with the goal of marriage to another Christian believer, and marriage is a lifelong commitment between a man and a woman that honors God. Hebrews 13:4 says Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the bed be undefiled, but God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterers. 1 Corinthians 6:18 says Flee sexual immorality. If there was sexual intimacy outside of marriage, that is fornication before God, and it needs to be confessed and repented of, and we pray you have done so and will walk in purity going forward. Even hurtful words, actions, or patterns of relating need repentance and forgiveness. Ephesians 4:32 says And be kind to one another, tender hearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you.
You also prayed that he will never contact you again. We understand the desire for peace and closure, and Romans 12:18 says If it is possible, as much as it is up to you, be at peace with all men. It is biblical to establish clear and respectful boundaries, especially after a breakup, so that both people can heal without confusion or further hurt. We pray that God would give you both peace, self control, and respect for those boundaries, and that any bitterness or unforgiveness would be removed. Forgiveness does not always mean restored contact, but it does mean releasing the other person to God and not holding onto anger.
We noticed your request did not mention the name of Jesus Christ. We want to lovingly remind you that it is only through Jesus that we have access to God. John 14:6 says Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me. Acts 4:12 says There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved. It is because Jesus died for our sins and rose again that we can be forgiven, healed, and heard when we pray. If you have not already, we encourage you to put your faith fully in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, trusting in His sacrifice for the forgiveness of your sins and for new life.
We pray together now.
Father, in the name of Jesus Christ we come before You and lift up this dear one and her ex to You. Lord, we ask for Your healing hand upon him, for every trauma, every emotional and psychological and behavioral wound, every effect of sin and hurt that has been done to him and that he has done to others. Heal his broken heart and bind up his wounds, restore health to him as only You can. We ask that You would forgive our sister for any way she has hurt him, cleanse her and help her to walk in repentance and in newness of life. Give her Your peace and guard her heart and mind in Christ Jesus as Philippians 4:7 promises. Help her to forgive as You have forgiven her, and to live at peace with healthy boundaries. We pray that You would keep both of them from further hurt, that You would give them wisdom, self control, and respect for distance, and that Your will would be done in both lives. Lead them both to a deep relationship with Jesus, to godly community, and to wholeness in You. Prepare for each a future that honors You, and if it is Your will, bring godly spouses into their lives in Your perfect timing for marriage that glorifies You. We ask all this in the precious name of Jesus, our only hope and healer, Amen.
We encourage you to continue to seek the Lord daily in prayer and in His Word, to walk in purity and in forgiveness, and to trust that God cares for you and for your ex and desires healing and holiness for you both. Isaiah 41:10 says Don't you be afraid, for I am with you. Don't be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. Yes, I will help you. Yes, I will uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness. Lean on Him for strength as He continues His healing work in you.

We hear the weight in what you shared, caring enough to pray for his healing while also knowing you need clear distance and no further contact. Holding both compassion and a firm boundary at the same time can feel difficult, but it is a healthy and loving thing to do.
One thing that may help as you process this is remembering that forgiveness and reconciliation are not the same. You can make a settled decision to release any debt and to wish him good in God's hands, and still keep the relationship closed. The emotional side of that often takes much longer to settle, and it doesn't require reopening contact to be real. Boundaries are like a property line, they help each person take responsibility for their own life and guard their heart, so a yes can be yes and a no can be no without guilt.
If it would help steady you in the days ahead, consider putting that no-contact decision into a simple, supported plan, keeping communication channels closed, letting one trusted friend or pastor know you have chosen no contact so you are not carrying it alone, and deciding in advance what you will do if a message does come through.
Father, in Jesus' name we lift this man to You for healing and for the help and support he needs, and we ask You to bring healing where this writer has caused hurt. We ask for peace, wisdom, and protection over our friend as she maintains this boundary, and that You would guide her steps and guard her heart in the days ahead. Amen.

Beloved of All
Your request has been brought before the Lord with care and we join you in seeking His mercy and grace in this matter.
We hear the sorrow of a past relationship and the desire for healing for both souls involved, and for peace and right boundaries going forward. There is a word of hope for such burdens, that there is forgiveness with God through Jesus Christ His Son, and that the leaves of the tree of life are for the healing of the nations. The least thing about Christ is healing, and His blood provides a full and eternal forgiveness for all who repent and believe.
We pray for this man of whom you speak, that the Lord would have mercy upon him in his trauma and affliction of mind and heart. We ask that God, who alone can change the nature and heal the deep wounds of the soul, would work in him by His Spirit. If he does not yet know the Lord Jesus, we pray that he would be brought to see his need of a Savior and to trust in the matchless atonement which covers all guilt, for there is forgiveness with God that He may be feared. We pray that whatever hurt has been caused, whether by your hand or by others, the Lord would bring true healing, not merely relief of distress but the deeper healing of pardon and new life in Christ.
We pray also for you, that you would know the completeness of that same forgiveness. The Gospel gives absolute forgiveness to the repenting and believing sinner, without condition except faith in Christ, and it is surprising and divine forgiveness, blotting out the debt for His own name's sake. If you tremble under the memory of how you may have hurt another, bring that sin plainly before the Lord, confess it humbly and believe in the forgiveness of sins for yourself through the blood of Christ. The work of the Son in removing guilt is linked with the work of the Spirit in removing guile and healing the heart.
Concerning your desire for no further contact, we pray that the Lord would grant you both peace, protection and wisdom. We ask that He would establish healthy and firm boundaries, that He would guard each of you from further harm, and that He would give quietness of spirit and freedom from fear or turmoil. We pray that the Lord would so order your paths according to His good will that you may each seek Him and walk in holiness, and that any need for contact would be taken away as He heals and leads you forward. We do not ask God to bless what is outside His holy design for life and love, for marriage is a lifelong covenant of one man and one woman and all intimacy belongs within it, but we do ask Him to bless each of you with repentance, purity, and conformity to Christ.
May the Sun of Righteousness rise upon you both with healing in His wings, so that being forgiven, you may also be made whole. We encourage you to continue in prayer, to abide in the Word of God, to walk in the fellowship of a faithful church, and to seek wise and godly counsel as the Lord brings healing over time.
We commend you to Him with whom there is forgiveness, and with whom there is plenteous healing, and we pray that you will find rest in the Lord Jesus Christ, who alone is able to save and to keep.
