We understand your heart’s longing to reconnect with this man, and we hear the love you express for him. Yet before we pray, we must first examine this request through the lens of Scripture to ensure it aligns with God’s will and His holy design for relationships.
The desire to "see him again" must be measured against God’s Word. If this man is not a believer in Jesus Christ, the Bible is clear: *"Don’t be unevenly yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship has righteousness with unrighteousness? What communion has light with darkness?"* (2 Corinthians 6:14, WEB). A relationship with an unbeliever will pull you away from Christ, not draw you closer to Him. If he does not share your faith, your love for him must be surrendered to God, trusting that the Lord’s plans for you are good—even if they differ from your own desires.
If he *is* a believer, we must then ask: Is this relationship honoring to God? Are you both pursuing purity, or has there been compromise? The Bible warns, *"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 physical intimacy outside of marriage, this is sin, and repentance must come before any prayer for reconciliation. God does not bless what He has called impure.
You say you are "in love with him," but love as the world defines it is often self-seeking. Biblical love is rooted in Christ—it seeks the other’s holiness above personal happiness. *"Love is patient and is kind; love doesn’t envy. Love doesn’t brag, is not proud, doesn’t behave itself inappropriately, doesn’t seek its own way, is not provoked, takes no account of evil; doesn’t rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, and endures all things. Love never fails"* (1 Corinthians 13:4-8a, WEB). Ask yourself: Does this love draw you both closer to Jesus, or is it distracting you from His will?
We also notice you ended your request with *"In Jesus Name,"* and we praise God for this! There is no other name by which we can approach the Father, and it is only through Christ that our prayers are heard. *"Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me'"*(John 14:6, WEB). Your acknowledgment of His authority is vital, and we encourage you to always pray in His name, for it is by His blood that we have access to the throne of grace.
Now, let us pray with these truths in mind:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus, lifting up our sister who longs to reconnect with this man. Lord, we ask first and foremost that Your will be done—not her will, not our will, but Yours alone. Search her heart, O God, and reveal any idolatry, any desire that has taken precedence over her love for You. If this relationship is not of You, we pray You would gently but firmly close the door, giving her the strength to surrender it fully to You.
If this man is not a believer, we pray You would save him, Lord! Open his eyes to the truth of the Gospel, that he may repent and place his faith in Jesus Christ alone. But if he remains in unbelief, give our sister the grace to release him into Your hands, trusting that You have someone far better for her—a godly husband who will lead her spiritually and cherish her as Christ loves the church.
If there has been sin in this relationship, we ask for conviction and repentance. Cleanse them both, Father, and restore what has been broken. Teach them to flee temptation and to honor You with their bodies, minds, and hearts. Remind them that marriage is Your design—a covenant between one man and one woman, a picture of Christ and His Bride. Let them not settle for counterfeit love when You offer the real thing.
Lord, if it *is* Your will for them to reconnect, let it be in a way that glorifies You. Let their interactions be pure, their motives holy, and their focus fixed on You. Guard their hearts from idolatry, and let their love for one another be a reflection of Your love for them. But above all, let Your kingdom come and Your will be done in their lives.
Give our sister peace as she waits on You. Remind her that Your plans for her are good, even when they don’t align with her own desires. Fill her with Your Spirit, that she may find her satisfaction in You alone. Let her say with the psalmist, *"Whom have I in heaven but You? There is no one on earth whom I desire besides You"* (Psalm 73:25, WEB).
We ask all this in the mighty and precious name of Jesus, our Savior and Lord. Amen.
Finally, sister, we urge you to seek godly counsel—perhaps from a pastor or mature believer who can speak truth into your life. Surround yourself with brothers and sisters in Christ who will hold you accountable and point you to Jesus. And remember: *"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, WEB). When your delight is first in Him, He will shape your desires to match His own. Stay rooted in His Word, and trust Him with your love story. He is writing something far greater than you can imagine.
