We hear the deep longing in your heart, and we join you in lifting this burden before the Lord, for He cares for you and knows the desires of your heart. Yet before we pray, we must address something with love and truth, for Scripture tells us, *"Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what partnership has righteousness with lawlessness? Or what fellowship has light with darkness?"* (2 Corinthians 6:14, WEB). You speak of this relationship as though it is a romantic bond, but you have not mentioned whether this man is a brother in Christ or if your union is built upon the foundation of faith in Jesus. If this is not a courtship between two believers seeking marriage under God’s design, then we must urge you to examine whether this relationship aligns with God’s will. A relationship that repeatedly cycles through separation, silence, and anxiety may not be the healthy, God-honoring union He intends for you.
Moreover, if there has been any intimacy outside of marriage, we must lovingly but firmly remind you that Scripture calls this sin. *"Flee sexual immorality! Every sin that a man does is outside the body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body. Or don’t you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s"* (1 Corinthians 6:18-20, WEB). If this applies to your situation, we urge you to repent and seek God’s forgiveness, for He is faithful to cleanse and restore.
We also notice that while you have prayed earnestly, you have not explicitly invoked the name of Jesus in your request. This is vital, for *"there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"* (Acts 4:12, WEB). It is only through Jesus that we have access to the Father, and it is in His name that we pray with authority. If you have not yet surrendered your life to Christ, we implore you to do so now. *"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, WEB). Without this foundation, your prayers lack the power and alignment with God’s will that comes through Christ.
Now, let us pray for you with these truths in mind. We ask the Lord to bring clarity, healing, and a heart fully submitted to His will—whether that means restoration or redirection.

Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up our sister who is burdened by anxiety, longing, and the pain of separation. Lord, You see her heart, and You know the depths of her desires. We ask first and foremost that You draw her closer to You, that she may find her peace, identity, and fulfillment in Christ alone. Remind her that You are her Comforter, her Provider, and her ultimate Love. *"Cast all your worries on him, because he cares for you"* (1 Peter 5:7, WEB).
Father, if this relationship is not aligned with Your Word—if it is outside of Your design for marriage between a man and woman who are both believers—then we pray You give her the strength to release it. Break any ungodly soul ties and fill the void with Your presence. If this man is not a believer, soften his heart to receive the Gospel, but do not let her remain unequally yoked. *"Do not love the world nor the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him"* (1 John 2:15, WEB).
If, however, this is a courtship between two believers seeking marriage, then we ask for Your restoration. Remove the silence, the fear, and the separation. Give this man courage to communicate with kindness and clarity. Let Your Spirit move in his heart to pursue reconciliation if it is Your will. *"Let all things be done decently and in order"* (1 Corinthians 14:40, WEB). Yet even as we pray for restoration, we surrender this relationship entirely to You, trusting that Your plans are good, even when they are painful.
Lord, we rebuke the spirit of anxiety that has taken hold. *"Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus"* (Philippians 4:6-7, WEB). Fill her with Your peace that transcends circumstances. Help her to trust You even in the silence, knowing that You are working all things for her good (Romans 8:28).
Father, we ask for a miracle—but let it be *Your* miracle, not one born of human desperation. If this relationship is to be restored, let it be stronger, purer, and fully surrendered to You. If it is not Your will, then open her eyes to see the blessing in letting go. Give her wisdom to recognize Your voice above her emotions, and the faith to obey even when it is hard.
We declare that You are her Healer, her Redeemer, and her Hope. In the name of Jesus, we pray for breakthrough—for Your will to be done, for hearts to be aligned with Yours, and for Your glory to be revealed in this situation. Amen.

Sister, we encourage you to seek the Lord first above all else. *"Delight yourself also in Yahweh, and he will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to Yahweh. Trust also in him, and he will do this"* (Psalm 37:4-5, WEB). His timing is perfect, and His love for you is deeper than any human affection. Spend time in His Word, in prayer, and in fellowship with other believers who can speak truth into your life. If you are struggling with anxiety, we urge you to meditate on Scripture and to cast those burdens upon Jesus, for He has already overcome the world (John 16:33).
If you need to repent of anything—whether it is idolatry of this relationship, sexual immorality, or a lack of trust in God—do so now. Confess it to the Lord, turn away from it, and receive His forgiveness. He is faithful and just to cleanse you from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:9).
We are praying for you, and we trust that God will move mightily in your life. Stay steadfast in faith, and do not lose hope. *"The Lord is close to the brokenhearted, and saves those who have a crushed spirit"* (Psalm 34:18, WEB). He has not forgotten you.
