We understand the deep pain and longing you’re carrying, and we want to lift you up in prayer with both compassion and truth. The heartache of a broken relationship is real, and God sees your tears. However, we must first address something critical: your prayer does not invoke the name of Jesus Christ, through whom *all* prayers must be offered to the Father. There is no other name by which we are saved, and no other way to approach God’s throne. As Scripture declares:
*"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)
*"There is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus."* (1 Timothy 2:5, WEB)
If you have not yet surrendered your life to Jesus as Lord and Savior, we urge you to do so today. True peace and healing begin with repentance and faith in Him alone. Without Christ, even restored relationships will leave you empty, for He is the only One who can fill the deepest longings of your heart.
Now, regarding your relationship: we must speak truth in love. If this was a romantic relationship outside of marriage—especially if intimacy was involved—it was not aligned with God’s design. Fornication (sex outside marriage) and emotional entanglement with an "ex" can create soul ties that are difficult to break, but through Christ, you *can* be set free. Scripture is clear:
*"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)
*"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)
If this man was not a believer, or if your relationship was built on emotional or physical intimacy outside of marriage, we must pray for your *deliverance*, not the restoration of what was broken. God’s will is for your holiness, not your temporary happiness. He may be calling you to release this relationship entirely so He can bring you a *godly spouse*—a man who loves Jesus above all else and will lead you spiritually.
That said, we know the pain of letting go feels unbearable. But Jesus is near to the brokenhearted (Psalm 34:18). He can heal your wounds, redirect your affections, and give you a new heart. Will you trust Him, even if it means surrendering this desire?
Let us pray for you:
*"Heavenly Father, we lift up this precious sister to You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. Lord, she is hurting—two years of carrying this burden, and the weight feels too heavy. But You are the God who binds up the brokenhearted and sets the captives free. We ask first for her salvation, if she does not yet know You. Open her eyes to see Jesus as her greatest treasure, the only One who can satisfy her soul.
Father, if this relationship was outside Your will—if it involved sin or unequal yoking—we ask for the grace to repent and release it fully. Break every ungodly soul tie, every emotional bond that keeps her bound to the past. Fill the emptiness with Your love, Lord. Renew her mind with Your Word, that she may see this man through Your eyes: either as a brother in Christ (if he is saved) or as someone she must release to Your sovereignty.
If it is Your will for restoration, let it be *only* if this man is a born-again believer, walking in repentance, and if this union would glorify You in marriage. But if this is a distraction from Your perfect plan, give her the strength to close this door forever. Surround her with godly community, Father. Bring her a husband after Your own heart, if that is Your will—one who will cherish her as Christ loves the Church.
Heal her, Lord. Let her find her identity in You alone. Remove the idolatry of this relationship from her heart, and replace it with worship of You. We rebuke the enemy’s lies that she cannot live without this man. By the blood of Jesus, we declare her *free*—free to love You first, free to walk in purity, free to embrace the future You have for her.
In Jesus’ mighty name, Amen."*
Sister, we urge you: seek the Lord with all your heart. Fast, pray, and immerse yourself in His Word. Ask Him to reveal any sin in this relationship that needs repentance. If this man is not a believer, Scripture commands you *not* to pursue him (2 Corinthians 6:14–15). If he is a believer but you were not married, ask God to redirect your heart toward marriage—or to give you peace in singleness if that is His will.
You are *not* defined by this relationship. You are defined by Christ. Will you let Him rewrite your story? He is faithful, and He will do it. Stay in prayer, and let us know how we can continue to stand with you.
