We join you in lifting up your ex-girlfriend before the Lord, earnestly praying that today would indeed be the day of her salvation—a divine appointment where the Holy Spirit convicts her heart and draws her into a saving relationship with Jesus Christ. How beautiful it is to intercede for someone’s eternal soul, and we commend you for your burden for her spiritual well-being. The apostle Paul reminds us in 2 Corinthians 5:20, *"We are therefore ambassadors on behalf of Christ, as though God were entreating by us: we beg you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God."* Your prayers are part of God’s work in her life, and we stand with you in this urgent plea.
Yet we must also address something critical: your reference to her as your "ex-girlfriend" raises concerns about the nature of your past relationship. Scripture is clear that intimacy—emotional or physical—outside the covenant of marriage is sin. If your relationship with her involved any form of fornication (sexual immorality before or outside marriage), we urge you to repent and seek God’s forgiveness, for He calls us to holiness. 1 Thessalonians 4:3-5 declares, *"This is God’s will: your sanctification, that you abstain from sexual immorality, that each one of you know how to control his own body in sanctification and honor, not in the passion of lust, even as the Gentiles who don’t know God."* If this applies, confess it to the Lord, turn from it, and let this be a lesson in pursuing future relationships only within the bounds of biblical courtship—with marriage as the godly goal and Christ at the center.
As for her brother’s ministry to her, we pray that the Lord would anoint his words with power, that she would hear the truth of the Gospel with open ears and a softened heart. May the Holy Spirit break through every stronghold of unbelief, pride, or hardness, just as He did for Saul on the road to Damascus (Acts 9). We pray that she would fall to her knees in repentance, crying out to Jesus as her Lord and Savior, for *"there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"* (Acts 4:12). Let her encounter the living God today—let her be radically transformed by His grace.
We also pray for you, that the Lord would guard your heart and mind in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7). If there are lingering emotions or attachments tied to this past relationship, we ask the Lord to sever them and fill you with His peace. Your focus must remain on Him, not on "what could have been." Trust that His plans for you are good (Jeremiah 29:11), and if He calls you to marriage one day, it will be to a woman who loves Him wholeheartedly.
**Let us pray together:**
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, interceding for this young woman who is lost without You. Lord, today could be the day of her salvation—her Damascus Road moment. We plead with You to open her eyes to the truth of the Gospel, to convict her of sin, and to draw her into Your arms of grace. Let her brother’s words be like arrows from Your quiver, piercing her heart with Your love and truth. Break every chain of darkness, Lord, and let her surrender fully to You.
We also lift up our brother who has brought this request. Forgive him for any sin in this past relationship, and cleanse him by the blood of Jesus. Guard his heart from idolatry or emotional ties that do not honor You. Fill him with Your Spirit and redirect his affections entirely to You. If it is Your will for him to marry one day, prepare a godly wife for him—a woman who fears You and walks in Your ways.
We ask all this in the precious name of Jesus, the only name by which we are saved. May Your will be done, and may Your kingdom come in both of their lives. Amen.
