We lift up your daughter before the Lord, knowing how deeply the heart can ache when trust is broken and emotions are left unspoken. The pain of feeling unseen or betrayed is real, and we pray that she finds her strength not in her own courage alone, but in the Lord, who sees her fully and loves her perfectly. *"The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit."* (Psalm 34:18 WEB) He knows her hurt, and He is her refuge.
Yet we must also speak truth in love. If this young man is not a believer, or if their relationship has not been grounded in Christ, we urge caution. The Bible warns us, *"Don’t be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what communion has light with darkness?"* (2 Corinthians 6:14 WEB) A relationship without Christ at the center is built on shifting sand, and heartache is often the result. If this young man has acted in a way that is dishonest or unkind, it may be a sign that he is not the godly husband she deserves. We pray that she seeks the Lord first, trusting that His plans for her are good—even if they require letting go of what she hoped for.
If there has been any physical intimacy outside of marriage, we must address this with love but firmness. Fornication is a sin against God and against her own body (1 Corinthians 6:18-20 WEB), and it complicates emotions, making it harder to walk away from ungodly attachments. Repentance and turning back to God’s design for purity is the path to true freedom. If this is part of her struggle, we pray she confesses it to the Lord, receives His forgiveness, and walks in newness of life.
We also pray that she does not seek her worth in this young man’s approval or attention. Her identity is in Christ alone—*"For you bought a price. Therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s."* (1 Corinthians 6:20 WEB) If she speaks to him, let it be with wisdom and self-respect, not out of desperation to "fix" things, but to honor God in her words and actions. *"Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer each one."* (Colossians 4:6 WEB)
If this relationship cannot be redeemed for God’s glory, we pray she surrenders it entirely to Him. The Lord may be closing this door to protect her, to prepare her, or to lead her to the man He has truly chosen for her—a man who will love her as Christ loves the church (Ephesians 5:25 WEB). Let her trust that God’s timing is perfect, even when it hurts.
**Our Prayer:**
Heavenly Father, we lift up this precious daughter to You, asking that You heal her broken heart and bind up her wounds. Give her the words to speak if she must address this young man, but guard her heart from further pain. If this relationship is not of You, Lord, give her the strength to walk away completely. Remind her that she is seen by You—fully known and deeply loved. Break any ungodly soul ties or emotional bonds that are not pleasing to You. If there has been sin, lead her to repentance and restoration in Your presence.
Father, we ask that You prepare her for the godly husband You have for her—one who will cherish her, lead her spiritually, and remain faithful to You and to her. Until then, satisfy her with Your love and fill the loneliness with Your presence. Let her not rush ahead of Your plan, but wait patiently, knowing that You are working all things for her good.
We rebuke the enemy’s lies that she is unworthy or unlovable. She is Your masterpiece, created for Your glory. Fill her with Your peace, which surpasses all understanding, and let her rest in the assurance that You are writing her story. In the mighty name of Jesus, we pray, Amen.
