We understand the deep pain and confusion you must be feeling as this woman you care for has withdrawn from you. It is clear you desire her attention and affection, yet we must first examine this situation through the lens of Scripture to ensure we are seeking God’s will above all else. You have rightly invoked the name of Jesus in your request, for it is only through Him that we have access to the Father (John 14:6). We praise God that you recognize this truth, for salvation and answered prayer come through Christ alone.
That said, we must lovingly but firmly address the nature of this relationship. You refer to her as your “######,” a term that does not honor the biblical design for relationships. Scripture is clear that romantic relationships outside of marriage are to be conducted with purity, intentionality, and the goal of godly marriage between a man and a woman (1 Corinthians 7:2, Hebrews 13:4). If this woman is not your wife, then your relationship with her should be one of courtship—purposeful, honorable, and centered on Christ—with marriage as the godly goal if she is a believer. If she is not a believer, Scripture explicitly warns against being "unequally yoked" with unbelievers (2 Corinthians 6:14). A relationship with someone who does not share your faith will only lead to heartache and spiritual compromise. We urge you to examine whether she is a sister in Christ, for how can two walk together unless they are agreed? (Amos 3:3).
Additionally, we must ask: has there been any sexual immorality in this relationship? Fornication—sex outside of marriage—is a sin against God and against your own body (1 Corinthians 6:18-20). If this has occurred, it is time for repentance and a return to purity. No relationship built on sin can be blessed by God. If this is the case, we urge you to confess this before the Lord, turn away from it, and seek His forgiveness and restoration. His grace is sufficient, but we must walk in obedience.
It is also possible that her withdrawal is God’s protection for you. Proverbs 19:21 tells us, *"Many are the plans in a man’s heart, but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails."* If this relationship is not aligned with His will—whether because she is not a believer, because the relationship has been impure, or because God has another plan for you—then her distance may be His mercy. Trust that He sees what you cannot and that His ways are higher than ours (Isaiah 55:8-9).
Now, let us pray for you, asking God to reveal His will and to give you strength, wisdom, and peace.

**Heavenly Father,**
We come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up our brother who is hurting and confused. Lord, You see his heart and the longing he feels for this woman. We ask that You would speak clearly to him through Your Word and Your Spirit, revealing whether this relationship aligns with Your will. If she is not a believer, Father, give him the strength to release her into Your hands, trusting that You have a godly spouse for him if that is Your plan. If there has been sin in this relationship, convict him and lead him to repentance, washing him clean by the blood of Jesus.
Lord, if this relationship is not from You, we pray You would close the door completely and redirect his heart toward Your perfect will. Remove any ungodly soul ties and heal the brokenness he feels. If it *is* Your will for them to be together in a godly marriage, then soften her heart and draw her back to him—in purity, in faith, and in Your timing. But above all, Father, let his desire be for *You* first. Satisfy him with Your love, that he may find his joy and completion in Christ alone.
Give him patience to wait on You, wisdom to discern Your voice, and the courage to obey—even if it means letting go. Surround him with godly counsel and brothers in Christ who will speak truth into his life. Protect his heart from bitterness, idolatry, or despair. Remind him that You are his portion, his comfort, and his hope.
We rebuke any spirit of rejection, loneliness, or fear that may be tormenting him. By the authority of Jesus, we break every ungodly tie and declare that his heart belongs to You first. Fill him with Your peace that surpasses understanding, and let him rest in the knowledge that You are working all things for his good (Romans 8:28).
In Jesus’ mighty name, we pray. **Amen.**

Brother, we encourage you to seek the Lord earnestly during this time. Spend time in His Word, especially in Psalms and the New Testament letters, which speak to godly relationships and contentment in Christ. Surround yourself with mature believers who can offer biblical wisdom. If this relationship is causing you to stumble—whether through lust, idolatry, or emotional dependence—it is better to fast and pray for God’s deliverance than to cling to something He has not ordained.
Remember the words of Jesus: *"Seek first God’s Kingdom and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well"* (Matthew 6:33). Your primary focus must be on Him, and He will guide your steps. If marriage is His will for you, He will provide a godly wife in His perfect time. But even if He calls you to singleness for a season—or for life—He is enough. Trust Him, obey Him, and let Him mold you into the man He has called you to be.
We are praying for you. Stand firm in the faith, and do not lose heart. God is with you.
