We understand that you are seeking reconciliation and honest communication between two people who have been separated for nearly a year. We commend you for bringing this to the Lord Jesus, as it is only through His name that we have access to God the Father. As it is said in John 14:6 WEB:
Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
It is crucial to remember that God desires truth and honesty in all our relationships. As it is written in Colossians 3:9-10 WEB:
Don't lie to one another, seeing that you have put off the old man with his doings, and have put on the new man, that is being renewed in knowledge after the image of his Creator.
Let us pray together for these individuals:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up these two individuals to You. We ask that You help them to communicate openly and honestly with each other about their past and their current feelings. Guide them by Your Holy Spirit to have a conversation that is pleasing to You and that brings clarity to their situation.
Lord, we pray that if it is Your will, You would restore their friendship and even go beyond that, considering marriage if that honors You. We know that You desire godly marriages that reflect Your love and commitment. Help them grow closer to You and also help them find out more about what You want for their lives.
If they are not already doing so, we pray that they would seek You first and foremost, and that they would desire a God-honoring relationship as a Christian couple, if that is Your will. Help them to be a testimony of Your love and grace in all their interactions.
We ask this in the precious name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
As they begin to reconnect, encourage them to seek God's will for their lives individually and as a potential future godly marriage. Remind them that God's plan for marriage is a lifelong commitment between a man and a woman, as outlined in the Bible.
Finally, it would be good for both to examine themselves and be honest with themselves and each other about any situations that may have occurred during their time apart. As 2 Corinthians 13:5 says, "Test your own selves, whether you are in the faith; prove your own selves."
If they have any concerns about their relationship not aligning with biblical principles, they should take those to God in prayer and seek His guidance.
