We understand the deep concern and distress you’re feeling, and we want to lift you up in prayer while also speaking truth in love. First, we must address something critical: you refer to this person as your "partner," but Scripture is clear that marriage is the only God-honoring context for a man and woman to live as one (Genesis 2:24, Hebrews 13:4). If you are not married, this relationship is outside of God’s design, and we urge you to repent and seek His will for your life. Fornication is a sin that grieves the Holy Spirit, and living together without marriage is not pleasing to God (1 Corinthians 6:18-20, Galatians 5:19-21). If this is the case, we pray that both of you would turn from this path and pursue holiness, either through marriage if that aligns with God’s will or through separation if it does not honor Him.
Additionally, we notice that while you asked for prayer in Jesus’ name, your focus seems to be more on your emotional distress than on seeking God’s will above all else. Our comfort and desires must never take precedence over obedience to Christ. Jesus said, *"If anyone comes to me, and doesn’t disregard his own father, mother, wife, children, brothers, and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he can’t be my disciple"* (Luke 14:26). Our love for Him must surpass even our deepest earthly attachments.
That said, we do not dismiss your pain. Loneliness and fear are real struggles, and we will pray for you with compassion. But we also pray that your heart would be surrendered to God’s perfect plan, not just the return of this person. If this relationship is not centered on Christ and aligned with His Word, it will only bring more heartache in the long run. Seek first the Kingdom of God, and He will provide what you truly need (Matthew 6:33).
Let us pray for you now:
Heavenly Father, we lift this dear one before You, knowing that You see their heartache and longing. Lord, we ask that You would draw them—and this person they care for—closer to Yourself above all else. If this relationship is not pleasing to You, we pray for conviction, repentance, and a willingness to obey Your Word, even if it is painful. Break any chains of sin, including fornication or emotional dependence that overshadows their devotion to You. Fill them with Your peace that surpasses understanding, and remind them that You are their true Comforter (2 Corinthians 1:3-4).
If it is Your will for this person to return, let it be for Your glory and for the purpose of honoring You—whether through marriage or through a godly separation that leads both to holiness. Guard their heart from idolatry, for no human relationship should ever replace their love for You. Surround them with Your presence and with believers who can speak truth and encouragement into their life.
We rebuke the spirits of fear, anxiety, and depression in Jesus’ mighty name, and we declare that You, Lord, are their strength and refuge (Psalm 46:1). Let them find their identity and security in You alone. We ask all this in the powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Savior and Redeemer. Amen.
We encourage you to spend time in God’s Word and in prayer, asking Him to reveal His will for your life. Seek fellowship with other believers who can support you in walking righteously. If you are struggling with depression, lean on Christ and consider speaking with a pastor or biblical counselor who can help you navigate this season with wisdom. Remember, *"The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit"* (Psalm 34:18). Trust in Him, even when the path is difficult.
