We come before the Lord with you in this time of heartache, lifting your burdens to the One who hears and answers prayer. First, we must lovingly address something vital: you mention praying to the "Holy Spirit" and "Papa Jesus," but we want to gently remind you that our prayers are to be directed to God the Father *in the name of Jesus Christ*, for it is through Jesus alone that we have access to the throne of grace. As Scripture declares, *"No one comes to the Father, except through me"* (John 14:6, WEB). There is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12). If you have not yet placed your full trust in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior—believing in His death, burial, and resurrection for your sins—we urge you to do so today. Salvation and true peace with God begin there.
Now, regarding your relationship, we must speak truth in love. The term "partner" is not a biblical description for a romantic relationship. God’s design for intimacy is within the covenant of marriage between one man and one woman (Genesis 2:24, Matthew 19:4-6). If you and this man are not married, we strongly encourage you to pursue a relationship that honors God—one of courtship with the intent of marriage, free from the sin of fornication (1 Corinthians 6:18-20, Hebrews 13:4). If there has been physical intimacy outside of marriage, we urge repentance, for God calls us to holiness (1 Thessalonians 4:3-5). True love waits and obeys God’s Word, trusting His perfect timing.
The pain you describe is real, and we grieve with you over this conflict. But we also remind you that no human relationship—no matter how deep—can fulfill the longing of your soul like your relationship with Christ. He alone is your strength, your peace, and your ultimate joy (Psalm 73:25-26, Philippians 4:13). If this man is not a believer, Scripture warns against being "unequally yoked" (2 Corinthians 6:14), for how can light live in harmony with darkness? If he *is* a believer, then reconciliation must begin with humility, repentance, and forgiveness (Ephesians 4:32, Colossians 3:13). Both of you must seek God’s will above your own desires.
Let us pray for you:
Heavenly Father, we lift our sister to You, asking for Your mercy and wisdom to flood her heart. Lord, if this relationship is not aligned with Your Word, give her the courage to walk in obedience, even if it is painful. If there is sin—whether fornication, idolatry of this relationship, or bitterness—convict her deeply and lead her to repentance. Father, heal the brokenness in her chest, for You are near to the brokenhearted (Psalm 34:18). Remove any anxiety and replace it with Your peace that surpasses understanding (Philippians 4:6-7).
If it is Your will for reconciliation, soften both hearts. Let forgiveness flow, and restore what has been broken—*only* if it glorifies You and reflects Your design for marriage. But Lord, guard her from clinging to a relationship that distracts her from You. Remind her that her identity is in Christ alone, not in any man’s affection. Strengthen her to wait on You, to trust in Your timing, and to find her joy in You above all else.
If this man is not seeking You, Father, do not let her be deceived by temporary warmth. Give her discernment to see if this relationship is leading her closer to You or pulling her away. Surround her with godly counsel and community who will speak truth, not just comfort.
We rebuke the enemy’s lies that her worth is tied to this man’s approval. She is *Your* daughter, bought with the precious blood of Jesus. Let her rest in that truth. Comfort her, Lord, and show her the next steps You have for her—whether reconciliation, release, or a season of singleness devoted to You.
In the mighty name of Jesus Christ, we pray—*the only name by which we are saved*. Amen.
Sister, we encourage you to spend time in God’s Word, especially in Psalms for comfort and in the Gospels to fix your eyes on Jesus. Seek a local, Bible-believing church where you can be discipled and surrounded by wisdom. If this relationship is causing you to compromise your faith or your purity, it is not from God—no matter how deeply you feel. *"Delight yourself in Yahweh, and he will give you the desires of your heart"* (Psalm 37:4, WEB). Sometimes, that means He *changes* our desires to align with His. Trust Him. He is good, and His plans for you are for your ultimate joy—even when the path is hard.
Would you like us to pray specifically for your walk with Christ during this time? Or for clarity on whether this relationship should continue? We are here to stand with you in truth and love.
