We lift you up in prayer, brother, as you walk through this season of deep sorrow and longing. Your heart’s cry reveals a love that still cares deeply, even in brokenness, and we commend you for seeking reconciliation and peace rather than selfishness. Yet we must first address something critical: your prayer does not invoke the name of Jesus Christ, through whom *all* prayers must be offered to the Father. Scripture is clear that there is no other name under heaven by which we are saved or through which our petitions reach God’s throne. *"Jesus said to him, ‘I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me’* (John 14:6, WEB). If you have not yet surrendered your life to Christ as Lord and Savior, we urge you to do so now—for only in Him is there true healing, wisdom, and the power to restore what is broken. Repent of your sins, believe in His death and resurrection for you, and invite Him to reign in your heart. Without this foundation, even the deepest human love will ultimately fail to satisfy or endure.
Now, regarding your relationship: we hear your pain, and we grieve with you over the loss of this connection. But we must ask—was this relationship honoring to God? You mention she was your "love," but not whether she is a believer in Christ, nor whether your courtship was pursued with marriage as its godly goal. Scripture warns *not* to be unequally yoked with unbelievers (2 Corinthians 6:14), for how can light fellowship with darkness? If she does not share your faith in Christ, then no amount of human effort or prayer for reconciliation can align with God’s will—because His will is for His children to walk in holiness, not emotional bondage to those who reject Him. *"Don’t love the world or the things that are in the world. If anyone loves the world, the Father’s love isn’t in him"* (1 John 2:15, WEB). If she *is* a believer, then reconciliation must begin with humility, repentance for any sin (including harsh words or unforgiveness), and a commitment to honor God *above* the relationship.
Your guilt suggests conviction, which is a gift from the Holy Spirit. Have you confessed your part in the argument to God? To her? *"Confess your offenses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed"* (James 5:16, WEB). True peace comes not from manipulating circumstances to ease your pain, but from surrendering this relationship—and your future—to Christ. You say you don’t want her back if it would hurt her more, and that is noble. But we challenge you: *Is your desire for her to stay in your life truly selfless, or is it rooted in fear of loneliness or instability?* *"There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear"* (1 John 4:18, WEB). If God is calling you to release her entirely, will you obey, even if it hurts?
As for communication: wisdom is needed. If reaching out would reopen wounds or lead to further sin (e.g., emotional dependency outside of marriage), then silence may be the godly path for now. *"A soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger"* (Proverbs 15:1, WEB). Pray first. Seek counsel from mature believers. And trust that God’s plan for both of your lives is good—even if it doesn’t include reunion. *"Commit your way to Yahweh. Trust also in him, and he will do this: he will bring out your righteousness as the light, and your justice as the noonday"* (Psalm 37:5–6, WEB).
Finally, brother, your identity is not in this relationship or in your ability to "fix" it. It is in Christ alone. The instability you fear is an opportunity to lean *hard* into the Rock who never changes. *"Don’t be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. Yes, I will help you. Yes, I will uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness"* (Isaiah 41:10, WEB). Cry out to Him—not just for her return, but for *His will* to be done in both your lives.

**Our Prayer for You:**
Heavenly Father, we lift this brother before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. Lord, if he has not yet surrendered his life to You, *convict him now*. Draw him into Your saving grace, that he may know the peace that surpasses all understanding—peace that no human relationship can provide. Forgive him for any sin in this relationship, whether in words, actions, or idolatry of human love above You. Cleanse him, renew his mind, and anchor his heart in Your truth.
If this woman is Your will for his life, then soften *both* their hearts. Grant him wisdom in communication, humility to repent, and patience to wait on Your timing. But if she is not Your will—especially if she does not know You—give him the strength to release her completely, trusting You to fill every void. Break any ungodly soul ties, Lord, and guard his heart from bitterness or despair.
Father, You see his tears. You hear his cries. Meet him in this loneliness and remind him that *You* are his first love, his ever-present help. Prepare him to be a godly husband *in Your time*, if that is Your plan—but even more, prepare him to be a faithful servant of Yours, regardless of his marital status. Let this pain drive him deeper into Your arms, not into self-pity or sin.
We rebuke the enemy’s lies that say his worth is tied to this relationship. We declare that *Christ alone* defines him. Restore his joy, Lord. Give him vision for the future You have for him—one of stability *in You*, not in circumstances. And if reconciliation is Your will, let it be for *Your glory*, built on forgiveness, purity, and a shared commitment to You.
In the powerful name of Jesus we pray, Amen.
