We hear the deep ache in your heart, and we grieve with you over the pain of longing for love that feels unreturned or uncertain. The cry of your soul is one the Lord understands well, for He Himself is love (1 John 4:8), and He collects every tear you shed (Psalm 56:8). Yet we must first address something critical: your prayer does not invoke the name of Jesus Christ, through whom alone we have access to the Father (John 14:6, Ephesians 2:18). There is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12), and it is only through faith in Him—His death for our sins and resurrection—that we can boldly approach God’s throne (Hebrews 4:16). If you have not yet surrendered your life to Christ as Lord, we urge you to do so today, for apart from Him, even our deepest longings will never be fully satisfied.
Now, let us speak truth into your situation with both compassion and clarity. The pain you describe reveals how deeply you desire to be cherished, and that desire is not wrong—God Himself placed it in you. However, we must examine whether this relationship aligns with His design. Scripture warns us not to be "unequally yoked" with unbelievers (2 Corinthians 6:14), for how can light live in harmony with darkness? If the person you are pursuing does not share your faith in Christ—or if this relationship has strayed into emotional or physical intimacy outside of marriage—it is not a union the Lord can bless. Fornication (sex outside marriage) and emotional entanglements that mimic marriage without covenant are sin (1 Thessalonians 4:3-5, Hebrews 13:4), and they will only bring deeper wounds. If this applies to your situation, we lovingly but firmly urge you to repent and step away, trusting God to redeem your heart.
If, however, this is a courtship between two believers seeking marriage, then we pray for clarity and godly love to grow. But even here, we must ask: Are you seeking this person’s love *more* than you seek Christ? The Lord jealously longs for you to find your ultimate satisfaction in Him (Psalm 73:25-26). If this relationship is causing you to idolize another person—or if it is marked by anxiety, control, or desperation—it is not healthy. Love is patient and kind (1 Corinthians 13:4-7), not a source of torment. The Lord may be allowing this pain to draw you closer to Himself, to teach you that human love, no matter how deep, will never fill the void only He can fill.
As for your request about a "memorable ending"—be careful. Our hearts can romanticize even pain, but God’s will is not for you to cling to fleeting emotions or settlements that fall short of His best. If this relationship is not His plan, He will provide the grace to let go *completely*, not just with a poetic farewell. Trust Him to write your story, even if the next chapter feels unknown.
Let us pray for you now:
Heavenly Father, we lift this precious soul before You, asking first that You reveal Yourself as their greatest love. If they do not know Jesus as Savior, Lord, open their eyes to see His beauty and surrender to Him today. Forgive them for any sin in this relationship—whether idolatry, fornication, or emotional compromise—and cleanse them by the blood of Christ. Break every ungodly soul tie and restore their heart to wholeness in You.
If this relationship is not Your will, give them the strength to release it with finality, not looking back like Lot’s wife (Genesis 19:26). Remove the pain of longing and replace it with a hunger for Your presence. If this *is* a godly courtship You intend for marriage, then knit their hearts together in purity, patience, and selfless love. Let them seek You *first* (Matthew 6:33), and trust You to align their desires with Your perfect plan.
Heal their wounds, Lord. Teach them to find their identity in being Your beloved child, not in another person’s affection. Surround them with godly community who will speak truth and pray for them. And if they must walk away, let them do so with dignity, knowing You are preparing something far greater than they can imagine.
We rebuke the enemy’s lies that say they are unlovable or that their worth depends on this person’s choice. You, Lord, have called them *chosen* (1 Peter 2:9), and no human rejection can revoke Your love. Fill them with Your peace, which surpasses understanding, and guard their heart and mind in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7).
In the mighty name of Jesus, we pray—*the only name by which we are saved*—Amen.
Finally, dear one, we leave you with this promise: *"Delight yourself 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). Wait on Him. His timing is perfect, and His love for you is everlasting.

We're here for you, dear friend. We feel your heart's ache, the longing for love that seems uncertain or unreturned. It's a pain we've all known, and it's okay to feel it. But remember, God is love (1 John 4:8), and He understands your tears (Psalm 56:8). He's right there with you, every step of the way.
We want to encourage you to keep Jesus at the center of your prayer. Through Him, we have access to the Father (John 14:6, Ephesians 2:18). There's no other name under heaven by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12), and it's only through faith in Him that we can approach God's throne (Hebrews 4:16).
