I’m sad

We understand the deep sorrow and confusion weighing on your heart, and we want you to know that God sees your pain and cares for you more than you can imagine. The heaviness of sadness and uncertainty can feel overwhelming, but take heart—Jesus Himself said, *"Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest"* (Matthew 11:28, WEB). Your feelings are valid, but they do not have to define your path forward. Let us turn to God’s Word to find clarity, comfort, and direction for your heart.
First, we must address something important: your love for this young man. The Bible teaches that our relationships should honor God, and that includes pursuing romantic connections with wisdom, purity, and a focus on His will. If this young man is not a believer in Jesus Christ, the Scriptures are 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 someone who does not share your faith will pull you away from God’s best for you, and that will only deepen your sadness in the long run. Even if he is a believer, you must ask: Is this relationship leading both of you closer to Christ? Is it built on a foundation of mutual faith, respect, and a shared desire to honor God—even in how you conduct yourselves physically and emotionally? If there is any compromise in these areas—such as emotional dependency, physical intimacy outside of marriage, or a lack of spiritual unity—it is not of God, and it will bring more pain than joy.
Your sadness may also stem from a sense of loss or fear of the unknown, but remember that God’s plans for you are good, even when they don’t align with our desires. *"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). He may be redirecting you because He has someone far better for you—a godly spouse who will love you as Christ loves the church (Ephesians 5:25). Or He may be calling you to a season of singleness to grow deeper in your relationship with Him. Either way, His will is perfect, and He will give you the strength to trust Him.
We also notice that your request did not invoke the name of Jesus. There is no greater name by which we can approach the throne of God, and it is only through Jesus that we find true peace and salvation. *"There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"* (Acts 4:12, WEB). If you have not yet surrendered your life to Christ, we urge you to do so today. Confess your sins, believe in His death and resurrection for your salvation, and invite Him to be the Lord of your life. Only then will you find the lasting joy and purpose that no earthly relationship can provide.
Let us pray for you now:
Heavenly Father, we lift up this precious sister to You, knowing that You collect every tear she has cried and hear every whisper of her heart. Lord, her sadness feels so heavy, and the confusion seems overwhelming, but we ask that You would wrap her in Your peace—a peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7). Comfort her with Your presence and remind her that she is never alone, for You are with her always.
Father, we pray for clarity in this situation. If this relationship is not Your will, give her the strength to let go and trust You. Break any ungodly soul ties or emotional bonds that are not of You. If there has been any physical or emotional compromise, we ask for Your forgiveness and cleansing. Restore her heart and help her to walk in purity and wisdom. Surround her with godly counsel and friends who will point her to You.
Lord, if it is Your will for her to be in a relationship, we pray that You would bring a godly man into her life—a man who loves You above all else and will cherish her as Christ loves the church. But if this is a season of waiting, help her to embrace it with joy, knowing that You are preparing her for something beautiful. Teach her to find her identity and worth in You alone, for she is Your beloved daughter.
We rebuke the spirits of sadness, confusion, and fear in Jesus’ mighty name. Let them flee from her, and fill her instead with Your hope, Your joy, and Your perfect love that casts out all fear (1 John 4:18). Give her the courage to surrender this situation to You completely, trusting that Your plans for her are good.
Finally, Father, if she does not yet know You as her Savior, we pray that today would be the day of salvation for her. Open her eyes to see the truth of the Gospel—that Jesus died for her sins and rose again so that she might have eternal life. Draw her to Yourself, Lord, and let her find her rest in You.
We thank You, Father, for hearing our prayers. We trust that You are working all things together for her good, and we give You all the glory. In the mighty and precious name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, we pray. Amen.
Sister, we encourage you to spend time in God’s Word daily, especially in the Psalms, where you will find comfort for your sorrow. Surround yourself with believers who can pray with you and speak truth into your life. And remember: *"The Lord is close to the brokenhearted, and saves those who have a crushed spirit"* (Psalm 34:18, WEB). He is with you, and He will never leave you. Trust Him, even when the path is unclear. His love for you is deeper than any earthly love, and His plans for you are far greater than you can imagine. Stay strong in Him.

We're here for you, dear one. We understand that feeling sad and confused can be overwhelming, but remember, God is always by your side, and He cares deeply about what you're going through. In times like these, it's important to lean into His embrace and trust that He has a purpose in all things.
We want to encourage you to keep seeking God's face in this situation. Spend time in prayer and read His Word, especially the Psalms, where you'll find comfort and strength. Surround yourself with godly friends who can pray with you and speak truth into your life.
As for your feelings for this boy, it's natural to feel a sense of loss or fear of the unknown. But remember, God's plans for you are good, even when they don't align with our desires. He may be redirecting you because He has someone far better for you, or He may be calling you to a season of singleness to grow deeper in your relationship with Him.
Trust that His will is perfect, and He will give you the strength to trust Him. If this relationship is not God's will, He will help you let go and find peace in His plan. And if it is His will, He will bless it and help it to honor Him.
We also want to remind you to find your identity and worth in Christ alone. No earthly relationship can provide the lasting joy and purpose that He can.
