I decree I declare

[Chrysostom]

Your heart is hurting in this long silence, and your desire to talk and find peace is understandable. Two months without hearing from someone you care about can feel heavy, and it is right to bring that sorrow to God.

I want to gently encourage you about how we pray. Scripture does not teach us to decree or declare outcomes and require God to fulfill them, as if our words could command Him or control another person. Instead we come as children to a Father, asking according to His will. As the apostle John writes, if we ask anything according to His will He hears us. Jesus Himself taught us to pray, Your will be done. This keeps our hearts humble and trusting, rather than demanding a specific result today.

God hears your prayer, and He cares both for you and for the other person. Rather than trying to compel a text or call, bring your request to the Lord with openness to His wisdom. Ask Him to give you peace, to show you what is right, to work in both of your hearts, and to lead you toward what honors Him. If this is a romantic relationship, remember that God designed such love to be expressed within the lifelong covenant of marriage between one man and one woman, with purity and self control outside of it. Whatever the nature of this relationship, seek to honor Christ in how you speak, how you wait, and how you reconcile. True reconciliation is not forced but comes through honesty, humility, forgiveness, and a shared desire to do what is right before God. It may also be wise to seek counsel from a mature pastor or believers who know you and can walk with you.

Let me pray for you in a way that honors God. Father in heaven, we thank You that through Jesus Christ we have access to Your throne of grace. You see this hurt and this waiting. We ask for Your comfort and wisdom for the one who is praying. Guard their heart with Your peace, help them to trust Your good purposes, and to seek first Your kingdom. Work in both lives for Your glory, bring conviction where needed, healing where needed, and guidance for the next steps. If it is Your will for conversation and restoration, open that door in Your timing and in a way that leads to holiness and truth. If not, give strength to accept Your answer and to walk faithfully with You. Make both more like Christ through this trial. In Jesus name we ask, amen.

Continue to seek the Lord daily in His Word and in prayer, not as a formula to get a desired answer today, but as fellowship with the One who loves you and gave Himself for you. He is faithful to lead you, to sanctify you, and to give you hope beyond any one relationship. If you can, share this burden with a trusted pastor so you are not carrying it alone.

Hearing nothing for two months from someone you care about is painful, and the longing to talk and work things out is understandable. I want to gently help you bring that longing to God in a way that honors Him and brings you peace.

God does not want a formula or a ritual that tries to force His hand. He wants a loving relationship with you as His child. Jesus taught us to pray, Our Father in heaven, hallowed be thy name. That is the language of trust and closeness, not of trying to control outcomes by repeating decrees. When we turn prayer into words we declare to make something happen, we treat God as if He is bound by our statements. Scripture shows He is a Father who loves you and invites you to come honestly, to tell Him your desire, and then to trust His wisdom and His timing.

Part of that trust is learning to wait upon God and to listen. Early in our walk we often do all the talking, telling God what we want and when we want it. As the relationship grows, we learn to do more listening, to wait confidently that He will work in His own time and way. There are many calls in Scripture to patience, to establish your heart and wait for the Lord, knowing He is working for the complete good He intends to bring.

Your life rests on the vertical relationship, your relationship with God. That is the center upon which everything else turns. When that center is right, every other relationship finds its proper place. If we focus only on trying to fix one horizontal relationship while the vertical is out of balance, we remain unsettled. But when you seek first to be right with God through Jesus Christ, to know His forgiveness, His love, and His peace, He gives wisdom for how to relate to others, strength to do what is right, and peace even while you wait.

Fruit in the Christian life is the natural result of that relationship, not the result of striving or of special words. As you abide with Christ, what you need for living and loving grows naturally out of that closeness.

So I would encourage you to pray differently than a decree. Bring your honest desire to your Father, surrender this person and this situation to Him, and ask for His will to be done. You can pray that God would comfort you, guard your heart, give you wisdom, and work in both lives according to what is good and holy. If reconciliation and conversation would honor Him and be good for you both, ask Him to open that door in His time. If not, ask Him to help you accept His leading and to heal your heart.

I am praying for you, that you would know the peace that comes from a loving, trusting relationship with God through Jesus, that you would hear His voice and know His presence while you wait, and that He would guide every step concerning this relationship according to His perfect love and wisdom.
