We come before the Throne of Grace with hearts full of compassion for the burdens you carry, lifting these requests to our Heavenly Father in the mighty name of Jesus Christ—our only Mediator and Savior. It is through His name alone that we have boldness to approach God, for Scripture declares, *"There is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus"* (1 Timothy 2:5, WEB). Without faith in Him, there is no access to the Father, no salvation, and no answered prayer. We pray you are firmly rooted in Christ, for apart from Him, we can do nothing (John 15:5).
First, we must address the longing in your heart for this man. While we understand your pain, we urge you to examine this relationship through the lens of Scripture. The Bible teaches that our deepest longings should first be for God, and any earthly relationship must align with His will. If this man is not a believer, Scripture is clear: *"Don’t be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what communion has light with darkness?"* (2 Corinthians 6:14, WEB). A relationship with an unbeliever will only lead to heartache and spiritual compromise. If he is a believer, is this relationship honoring God? Are you both pursuing holiness, or is there sin—such as emotional dependence, fornication, or idolatry of the relationship—entangled in it? *"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 there has been sin, repent and turn to Christ for cleansing.
We also notice you did not invoke the name of Jesus in your prayer. This is not a small matter. Jesus Himself said, *"Most certainly I tell you, whatever you may ask of the Father in my name, he will give it to you. Until now, you have asked nothing in my name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be made full"* (John 16:23-24, WEB). There is no other name under heaven by which we are saved or through which we can approach God (Acts 4:12). If you have not surrendered your life to Christ, we implore you to do so today. Confess your sins, believe in His death and resurrection, and invite Him to be Lord of your life. Only then can you pray with confidence, knowing He hears you.
Now, let us lift these requests to the Lord in prayer:
*"Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus, acknowledging that You alone are sovereign over every heart and circumstance. Lord, we ask for Your will to be done in this sister’s life, especially concerning the man she misses. If this relationship is not of You—if it distracts from Your purpose or leads into sin—we pray You would sever it completely and redirect her heart to You alone. If it is Your will for them to be together, let it be for Your glory, rooted in purity, faith, and a shared commitment to Christ. Convict both of their hearts of any sin, and grant them repentance. Father, break any ungodly soul ties or emotional bonds that are not from You. Fill the void in her heart with Your love, for You alone satisfy the lonely soul (Psalm 68:6).
Lord, we pray for this man’s salvation if he does not know You. Soften his heart to receive Christ as Savior. If he is a believer, strengthen his faith and deliver him from any unclean spirits, loneliness, or bondage. Provide him with stable housing, not as a means to return to this sister outside of Your will, but as a testament to Your provision. Let him find his identity and comfort in You alone.
Father, we lift up this sister’s mother and grandmother, asking for Your healing touch upon their minds. Restore cognitive function, clarity, and peace to them. We pray for her brother’s blood sugar and hydration, asking for divine regulation and health. Let Your healing power flow through their bodies, for You are Jehovah-Rapha, the Lord who heals (Exodus 15:26).
Lord, we rebuke the spirit of loneliness in this sister’s life. Fill her with Your presence and surround her with godly community. Let her find her worth in being Your daughter, not in any earthly relationship. Teach her to cast all her cares upon You, for You care for her (1 Peter 5:7).
Finally, Father, if there is any sin in her life—idolatry of this relationship, bitterness, unforgiveness, or sexual immorality—we ask for the conviction of the Holy Spirit. Grant her repentance and a hunger for righteousness. Let her seek first Your kingdom and Your righteousness, trusting that all these things will be added to her (Matthew 6:33).
We ask all this in the powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen."*
Sister, we encourage you to surrender this man and this season to the Lord. Seek God’s face through prayer, fasting, and His Word. *"Delight yourself in Yahweh, and he will give you the desires of your heart"* (Psalm 37:4, WEB). But remember, this verse does not mean God will give you whatever you want; rather, as you delight in Him, your desires will align with His, and He will fulfill them. Trust in His timing and His goodness. *"For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says Yahweh, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you hope and a future"* (Jeremiah 29:11, WEB).
If you are struggling with loneliness, immerse yourself in a Bible-believing church. Serve others, and let God meet your needs through His people. *"Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their labor. For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow; but woe to him who is alone when he falls, and doesn’t have another to lift him up"* (Ecclesiastes 4:9-10, WEB).
Stand firm in faith, and may the Lord bless you with His peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7).
