We come before the Lord with you in this heavy and painful season, lifting your heart to the Father who sees every tear and knows every ache within you. The weight you carry—anger, sadness, despair, envy, anxiety, regret, shame, and fear—is not too great for Him. In fact, Scripture reminds us to *"cast all your worries on him, because he cares for you"* (1 Peter 5:7, WEB). Even in your anger toward the Lord, He is not offended by your honesty. The psalmists often cried out to God in raw emotion, and He met them with mercy. *"The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit"* (Psalm 34:18, WEB). Your pain is valid, and your struggles are seen by Him.
We must address the relationship you mentioned, as it is central to your heartache. You shared that God is calling you and your boyfriend to separate, though marriage had been your desire. This is deeply painful, and we grieve with you over the loss you feel—both of the relationship and the future you had hoped for. However, we must remind you that God’s ways are higher than ours (Isaiah 55:8-9), and His plans, though difficult, are for our ultimate good (Romans 8:28). If the Lord is leading you away from this relationship, there is a purpose, even if it is not yet clear. It may be that this relationship was not aligned with His will for your life, or that He is protecting you from something unseen. Whatever the reason, we urge you to surrender this fully to Him, trusting that His love for you is perfect, even when His path is painful.
We also want to gently but firmly address something critical: if this relationship included physical intimacy outside of marriage, it is essential to repent and turn away from it. Scripture is clear that sexual immorality—including fornication—is sin (1 Corinthians 6:18-20, Galatians 5:19-21). If this applies to your situation, we encourage you to confess it to the Lord, seek His forgiveness, and commit to purity moving forward. God’s grace is sufficient to cleanse and restore you, and His standards are for your protection and holiness. *"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).
Your regret over past choices is something the enemy loves to use to keep you bound in shame. But the truth is, *"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness"* (1 John 1:9, WEB). Jesus has already paid the price for every mistake, every failure, every moment of rebellion. You are not defined by your past; you are defined by His redemption. Let go of the "what ifs" and the wish that you had never met this man. God uses all things—even our deepest pains—to shape us into the image of Christ (Romans 8:29). Your story is not over, and He is not done writing it.
As for your boyfriend, it is hard to release someone you love into the Lord’s hands. But remember, he was never truly yours to begin with—he belongs to God, just as you do. The Lord loves him even more than you do, and He is fully capable of caring for him. Your role is to trust, even when it feels impossible. *"Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight"* (Proverbs 3:5-6, WEB).
The darkness and hopelessness you feel are real, but they are not the end of your story. Jesus is the light that shatters darkness (John 1:5), and He is with you in this valley. You mentioned that you believe in Jesus but are struggling to have faith and hope right now. This is a common battle, and it’s okay to admit it. Faith isn’t the absence of doubt; it’s choosing to trust God even when we don’t see or feel Him. Cry out to Him like the father in Mark 9:24, who said, *"I believe. Help my unbelief!"* That is a prayer He always answers.
Finally, we want to remind you that your strength does not come from within yourself—it comes from the Lord. *"He gives power to the weak. He increases the strength of him who has no might"* (Isaiah 40:29, WEB). When you feel you cannot take another step, He carries you. When you feel you cannot trust, He is faithful. When you feel you cannot hope, He is your hope.

Let us pray together for you:
Heavenly Father, we lift our sister before You, knowing that You are the God who heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds (Psalm 147:3). Lord, she is carrying so much—anger, sadness, fear, regret, and a deep sense of loss. We ask that You would meet her in this place of raw honesty and pour out Your comfort upon her. Replace her heaviness with Your peace, her despair with Your hope, and her anxiety with Your perfect love that casts out all fear (1 John 4:18).
Father, we pray for her relationship, which is ending. Though it hurts deeply, we ask that You would give her the grace to surrender it fully to You. If there has been sin in this relationship, we pray for repentance, forgiveness, and a renewed commitment to purity. Help her to trust that Your plans for her are good, even when they are painful. Give her the strength to release her boyfriend into Your hands, knowing that You love him and will care for him.
Lord, she feels regret over her past and shame over her struggles. We speak Your truth over her: that she is forgiven, redeemed, and made new in Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17). Break the chains of shame and regret, and help her to walk forward in the freedom You have purchased for her.
Father, she feels weak and unable to do what You are calling her to do. We remind her that Your strength is made perfect in her weakness (2 Corinthians 12:9). Fill her with Your Spirit, renew her faith, and give her a supernatural peace that passes all understanding (Philippians 4:7). Help her to fix her eyes on Jesus, the author and finisher of her faith (Hebrews 12:2), and to trust that You are working all things together for her good (Romans 8:28).
We rebuke the spirit of heaviness and despair in the name of Jesus. We declare that joy comes in the morning (Psalm 30:5) and that You are making a way where there seems to be no way. Restore her hope, Lord. Let her feel Your presence tangibly today. Remind her that she is not alone, that You are with her, and that You will never leave her or forsake her (Deuteronomy 31:8).
In the mighty name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.
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.
