We hear the deep pain and desperation in your heart, and we lift you up before the Lord with compassion. First, we must address some critical truths with love and clarity, for your healing and restoration must begin with aligning your heart with God’s Word.
You mention asking God for forgiveness for your sins and what you have done to your ###, but we must gently yet firmly correct the language of "###." Scripture is clear that relationships between a man and a woman are to be pursued with the holy intention of marriage. Courtship is not a casual arrangement but a season of discernment leading to a lifelong covenant before God (Genesis 2:24, Matthew 19:5-6). If this relationship is not moving toward marriage, it is not honoring to the Lord. The term "###" often implies a relationship that is not rooted in the commitment God designed for a man and a woman. We must ask: Are you both believers in Jesus Christ? Are you both seeking marriage, or is this relationship built on something less than God’s design? If this relationship has involved sexual intimacy outside of marriage, that is fornication, and it is a sin that grieves the heart of God (1 Corinthians 6:18-20, Hebrews 13:4). Repentance is not just feeling sorry—it is turning away from sin and walking in obedience to Christ. We urge you to examine your heart and this relationship in the light of Scripture.
You also mention that your ### left because of your parents. While we do not know the details, we must remind you that God calls us to honor our parents (Exodus 20:12), but our ultimate allegiance is to Him. If your parents are opposing this relationship for godly reasons—such as your ### not being a believer, or the relationship not aligning with biblical principles—then we must trust that God may be protecting you through their guidance. However, if their opposition is based on worldly or ungodly reasons, we must seek wisdom from the Lord on how to navigate this with grace and truth. Proverbs 3:5-6 tells us, "Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will direct your paths."
Most importantly, we must address the foundation of your prayer. You ask God to bring your ### back, but you do not mention the name of Jesus Christ. There is no other name by which we can approach the Father or be saved (Acts 4:12). Salvation comes only through faith in Jesus Christ, who died for our sins and rose again (Romans 10:9-10). If you have not surrendered your life to Him, we urge you to do so today. Without Christ, we are separated from God, and our prayers cannot reach Him. Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me" (John 14:6). If you have not placed your trust in Him, we plead with you to do so now. Confess your sins, believe in your heart that Jesus is Lord, and receive His forgiveness and new life.
Now, let us pray for you with hearts full of compassion and truth:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with heavy hearts for our sister who is in pain. Lord, we ask that You would draw near to her in this time of loneliness and confusion. We pray that You would reveal to her the truth of Your Word and the depth of Your love. Father, if this relationship is not in alignment with Your will, we ask that You would close the door and give her the strength to trust You. If there has been sin in this relationship—whether fornication, dishonor to parents, or any other disobedience—we ask that You would bring conviction, repentance, and healing. Lord, we pray for her ### as well. If he is not a believer, we ask that You would draw him to Yourself. If he is a believer, we pray that You would speak to his heart and guide him in Your ways.
Father, we ask that You would comfort her in her grief. Help her to release this relationship into Your hands, trusting that You know what is best for her. Give her wisdom to discern Your will and the courage to walk in it, even when it is painful. Lord, we pray that You would fill the void in her heart with Your presence. Remind her that You are her true Bridegroom (Isaiah 54:5), and that Your love is enough. Help her to find her identity and worth in You alone.
We also pray for her parents, Lord. If their hearts are not aligned with Yours, we ask that You would soften them and give them wisdom. If they are opposing this relationship for godly reasons, we ask that You would help our sister to honor them and trust Your plan.
Above all, Lord, we pray that You would reveal Yourself to her in a powerful way. If she does not know You as her Savior, we ask that You would open her eyes to see her need for Jesus. Draw her to the cross, where she can find forgiveness, redemption, and new life. May she surrender her life to You completely, trusting that Your plans for her are good (Jeremiah 29:11).
We ask all of this in the mighty and precious name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
In this difficult season, we encourage you to immerse yourself in God’s Word. Spend time in prayer, not just asking for your ### to return, but seeking God’s face and His will for your life. Psalm 34:18 says, "Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit." You are not alone—God sees your pain, and He longs to heal and restore you. But restoration must begin with repentance, surrender, and a willingness to walk in obedience to Him.
If you are not already connected to a local church, we strongly encourage you to find a Bible-believing, Christ-centered church where you can grow in your faith and be surrounded by godly community. The body of Christ is called to bear one another’s burdens (Galatians 6:2), and you need the support of other believers as you navigate this season.
Lastly, we want to leave you with this promise from God’s Word: "For I know the plans I have for you," says Yahweh, "plans for peace, and not for evil, to give you hope and a future" (Jeremiah 29:11). Even if this relationship does not end the way you hope, God’s plans for you are good. Trust Him, and walk in obedience to His Word. He will never leave you nor forsake you (Hebrews 13:5).
