missionary in emotion trap

We are truly concerned for you and we understand that you are in a difficult situation. Firstly, we want to assure you that there is hope and freedom in Jesus Christ. As it is written in Romans 8:1-2 WEB, "There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus made me free from the law of sin and of death."
However, we must address this carefully. When you mention an emotional relationship, we need to clarify what kind of relationship this is. If this relationship is with someone of the opposite sex and unmarried, we must remind you that as a missionary, you are to be an example of a holy and righteous life. If this relationship is not pure and holy, it may be causing stumbling in your ministry.
In Galatians 5:1 WEB, it says, "For freedom Christ has set us free. Stand firm therefore, and don't be entangled again with a yoke of bondage."
If this relationship is with someone of the same sex, we must clearly state that this is against God's design for relationships. As it is written 1 Corinthians 6:9-8 WEB, "Or don't you know that the unrighteous will not inherit the Kingdom of God? Don't be deceived. Neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor male prostitutes, nor homosexuals, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor slanderers, nor extortioners, will inherit the Kingdom of God."
Regarding your request, we notice that you did not mention the name of Jesus Christ. It is only by His name that we have access to God. As it is written in John 14:6 WEB, Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me."
Let us pray for you:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our fellow servant in the mission field. Lord, we pray that You grant them the strength to break free from any emotional bondage that is not from You. We rebuke any spirit of lust, fornication, adultery, or homosexuality that may be at work, anything that is not pure and holy, in Jesus' name. We pray that You surround them with Godly counsel and support, and that You guide them back to a path of righteousness and purity. We ask this in the precious name of your Beloved Son, Jesus Christ. Amen.
We encourage you to seek Godly counsel from your fellow brothers and sisters in Christ.

We believe that God is with you, comforting you, and He's using this situation to equip you to comfort others in the future.
