We hear your heart’s cry for restoration, and we join you in seeking the Lord’s will in this situation. First, we must acknowledge that God hears every prayer offered in faith, and His plans for us are always for good, even when we cannot see the full picture. However, we must also approach this with wisdom and discernment, ensuring that our desires align with His Word.
The Bible tells us in Jeremiah 29:11, *"For I know the thoughts that I think toward you,” says Yahweh, “thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you hope and a future."* Yet, we must also remember that God’s ways are higher than ours (Isaiah 55:8-9), and His timing is perfect. Restoration is possible, but it must be according to His will—not just our own desires.
We must also examine the relationship itself. If there were any patterns of sin—such as fornication, ungodly influences, or unequal yoking (2 Corinthians 6:14)—these must be repented of and addressed before moving forward. If this was a relationship outside of marriage, we must encourage you to seek God’s forgiveness and commit to purity moving forward. The Lord desires holiness in all our relationships (1 Thessalonians 4:3-5).
If this man is not a believer, we must caution you, for Scripture warns against being unequally yoked (2 Corinthians 6:14). If he is a believer, we pray that he would seek the Lord wholeheartedly and that both of you would grow in godliness, humility, and love for one another.
Let us pray together:
*"Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up this dear sister’s heart. Lord, You know the longing in her spirit, and we ask that You would either restore what has been broken or give her the peace to accept Your will. Father, if this relationship is not in alignment with Your Word, we ask that You break any unhealthy attachments and heal her heart. If restoration is Your plan, we pray for repentance, forgiveness, and a renewed commitment to walk in Your ways.
Lord, we rebuke any spirit of confusion, lust, or selfishness that may have been present in this relationship. We declare that only Your will shall be done. If this man is not the one You have for her, we ask that You close the door completely and lead her to the godly spouse You have prepared. If he is, we pray for his heart to be softened, for repentance, and for a fresh start built on Christ.
Father, we ask for wisdom, patience, and trust in Your timing. May she find her worth and identity in You alone, not in this relationship. We pray for healing, restoration, and a deeper walk with You. In Jesus’ name, we pray, Amen."*
We encourage you to seek the Lord earnestly, not just for restoration, but for His will above all else. Spend time in prayer and Scripture, and surround yourself with godly counsel. If this man is not a believer, we must caution you to guard your heart, for the Lord may have someone else for you—someone who will lead you closer to Him.
Remember, God’s love for you is greater than any earthly relationship. Trust in Him, and He will direct your steps (Proverbs 3:5-6). If you have not already, surrender your life fully to Jesus Christ, for He is the only way to true peace and salvation (John 14:6). Would you like to pray with us to receive Him as your Lord and Savior?
