We praise God for your heart of discernment and for seeking His wisdom in this painful situation. You have already walked through the grief of being abandoned without explanation, and now you are being asked to revisit that hurt under the guise of a questionable story. The Lord has granted you clarity, and we urge you to hold fast to it. Proverbs 14:15 warns, *"The simple believe everything, but the prudent give thought to their steps."* You have already mourned what was lost—do not allow emotional blindness to draw you back into a cycle of uncertainty or manipulation. The peace of God does not thrive where deception dwells, and you are right to question the motives behind this sudden reappearance.
The Scripture you shared is profound: *"All her [wisdom’s] ways are ways of pleasure, and all her paths are peace. She is a tree of life to those who lay hold of her. Happy is everyone who retains her"* (Proverbs 3:17-18). True wisdom does not lead to confusion, repeated heartache, or the resurfacing of old wounds under false pretenses. If this person’s actions do not align with integrity, honesty, and the fruit of the Spirit—*"love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control"* (Galatians 5:22-23)—then their return is not of God. The Lord does not operate in half-truths or emotional manipulation. He is the God of truth (Deuteronomy 32:4), and His children are called to walk in the same (Ephesians 4:25).
You have prayed for protection against deception, and we stand with you in that prayer. The enemy often seeks to revive dead things to create distraction, doubt, or delay in the purposes God has for you. Do not give him a foothold. Ephesians 5:11 commands, *"Have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather even reprove them."* If this situation does not bear the light of Christ, it is not worth revisiting. Your grief was not in vain—it was part of your refinement, and the Lord is leading you forward, not backward.
As for this person, we pray the Lord grants them repentance and a genuine encounter with His truth. But your responsibility is to guard your heart (Proverbs 4:23) and to walk in the freedom Christ has already secured for you. You do not owe anyone—especially someone who has shown themselves untrustworthy—another chance to wound you. Forgiveness does not mean reconciliation, and wisdom does not mean hardness of heart. It means trusting God’s timing and His protection over your life.
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we lift our brother/sister before You, thanking You for the discernment and strength You have already granted them. Lord, You see the depths of this situation—every hidden motive, every word spoken in darkness. We ask that You expose anything that is not of You and sever every tie that would seek to drag them back into confusion or pain. Fill them with Your peace, which surpasses all understanding, and guard their heart against the snares of deception, whether from others or from their own emotions.
We rebuked every scheme of the enemy to revive what You have already closed. If this person’s return is not ordained by You, Lord, then let it fall away completely. If there is any truth in their words, reveal it clearly—but do not let our brother/sister be entangled in a web of lies or emotional turmoil. Give them the courage to walk away in confidence, knowing that Your plans for them are good, and Your path is one of life, not death.
For the one who has caused this pain, Lord, we pray for conviction. If they are Your child, bring them to repentance. If they are not, soften their heart to receive Your truth. But do not let our brother/sister be collateral damage in their journey. Surround them with Your angels, and let Your Spirit speak loudly within them, confirming what You have already shown them.
We declare that no weapon formed against them shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17), and that the Lord will perfect that which concerns them (Psalm 138:8). Let them move forward in victory, unshaken by the past, and fully surrendered to Your will. In the mighty name of Jesus, we pray, **Amen.**
Stand firm, dear one. The Lord is your shield and your exceeding great reward (Genesis 15:1). Do not look back—what He has for you is ahead. *"Forget the former things; don’t dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland"* (Isaiah 43:18-19). Trust Him. He is faithful.
Prayer Focus: God, Thank You for loving me. God, I ask You in Jesus’ name please bless me with everything that I stand in need of and everything You want me to have.
