We hear your heart’s cry for restoration, and we join you in seeking the Lord’s will for your situation. First, we must address this request with biblical truth and clarity. The desire for reconciliation is understandable, but we must ensure that any relationship we pursue aligns with God’s design for love, commitment, and holiness.
Scripture tells us in 2 Corinthians 6:14, *"Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what communion has light with darkness?"* If the person you are seeking to reconcile with is not a believer in Jesus Christ, we must prayerfully consider whether this relationship honors God. Marriage—or the pursuit of marriage—should be between two people who share a commitment to Christ, as this is the foundation for a godly union.
If this relationship involves sexual intimacy outside of marriage, we must rebuke this sin directly. Hebrews 13:4 states, *"Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the bed be undefiled; but God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterers."* Fornication (sex before marriage) and adultery (sex outside of marriage) are clear violations of God’s commands. If this is part of your situation, we urge you to repent and seek God’s forgiveness, committing to purity moving forward. True restoration begins with obedience to God’s Word.
We also recognize your plea for God to remove evil influences. 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."* We stand with you in prayer against any spiritual attacks or ungodly influences that may be hindering this relationship. However, we must also examine whether this relationship itself is rooted in godliness. If there is unrepentant sin, manipulation, or emotional or physical abuse, these are not things God desires for His children. Proverbs 22:24-25 warns, *"Do not make friends with a hot-tempered person, do not associate with one easily angered, or you may learn their ways and get yourself ensnared."*
If this relationship is between a man and a woman, and both of you are believers committed to honoring God, we can pray for restoration with hope. However, if this is not the case, we must surrender this desire to the Lord and trust Him to lead you into His perfect will. Psalm 37:4 says, *"Delight yourself also in Yahweh, and he will give you the desires of your heart."* When our hearts align with God’s, He will direct our paths.
Let us pray:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with humble hearts, seeking Your will above all else. Lord, we lift up this situation to You, asking for Your wisdom and discernment. If this relationship is Your will, we pray for restoration—restoration that is rooted in Your love, Your truth, and Your holiness. Remove any evil influences, any spirits of division or strife, and any ungodly patterns that may be present. Father, we ask that You would soften hearts, bring repentance where it is needed, and draw both individuals closer to You.
Lord, if this relationship is not in alignment with Your Word, we ask that You would break any unhealthy attachments and replace this desire with Your peace. Help us to trust in Your timing and Your plan, knowing that You have something far greater in store. Father, we rebuke any sin that may be present—whether it is sexual immorality, idolatry of this relationship, or any other disobedience—and we ask for Your forgiveness and cleansing. Create in us clean hearts, O God, and renew a right spirit within us.
We pray for godly marriages and relationships that honor You. If this is Your will for these two individuals, we ask that You would prepare them both to be the spouses You have called them to be—loving, faithful, and committed to You above all else. May they seek You first in all things, and may their relationship reflect Your love and grace.
We pray all of this in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, the only name by which we can come before You. It is through His sacrifice that we have access to Your throne of grace, and it is through His blood that we are forgiven and restored. Thank You, Lord, for Your mercy and Your faithfulness. We trust in You alone. Amen.
