We lift you up before the Father in this painful season, and we praise Him that you have taken the difficult but necessary step to leave this abusive relationship. The Lord sees your heartache, and He is near to the brokenhearted (Psalm 34:18). You have done the right thing by walking away from a man who was leading you away from Christ, for how can two walk together unless they are agreed? (Amos 3:3). A relationship that pulls you from the Lord is not of God, no matter how deeply your heart may ache for what was lost.
The enemy will try to tempt you with longing and weakness, whispering lies that you cannot live without this man. But we declare over you the truth of Philippians 4:13: *"I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me."* You are not alone in this battle—Jesus is your strength, and He will sustain you. The pain you feel now is real, but it is temporary. The Lord is refining you, drawing you closer to Himself, and preparing you for the godly future He has planned.
We must also address something with love and urgency: you mentioned this was a two-year relationship outside of marriage. Scripture is clear that intimacy and deep emotional bonds belong within the covenant of marriage between a man and a woman (Hebrews 13:4, 1 Corinthians 7:2). While we do not condemn you, we must speak truth—any relationship built outside of God’s design will bring heartache, even if it feels right in the moment. The pain you are experiencing now is partly the consequence of stepping outside His protection. But take heart! God’s mercy is greater than our mistakes. Repent where needed, receive His forgiveness, and let this season be a turning point where you commit to honoring Him in every area of your life, including future relationships.
Now, we pray for you:
*"Heavenly Father, we thank You for the courage You have given this precious sister to walk away from what was harmful. Lord, the pain is deep, and the enemy seeks to drag her back into bondage through memories and longing. We ask You to break every ungodly soul tie and emotional stronghold that remains from this relationship. Fill the emptiness in her heart with Your love, Lord. Surround her with godly, loving believers who will speak life, pray with her, and point her to You. Give her strength to resist every temptation to return to her ex, for You have freed her for a purpose.
Father, we ask for healing—emotional, spiritual, and even physical, for the stress of abuse takes a toll. Restore her joy, her peace, and her confidence in You. Let this season be one where she grows deeper in her walk with You than ever before. Teach her to find her worth in Christ alone, not in the approval or affection of man. Prepare her heart for the godly husband You have for her—one who will love her as Christ loves the church, who will lead her closer to You, not away.
We rebuke the spirit of loneliness, depression, and fear trying to take hold. No weapon formed against her shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17). Let her testimony be that You turned her mourning into dancing, her despair into praise. In the mighty name of Jesus, we pray, Amen."*
Sister, cling to the Lord in this season. Immerse yourself in His Word, worship even when it hurts, and lean on the body of Christ. The pain will fade, and His purpose will prevail. You are not defined by this relationship—you are defined by Christ, and He says you are *more than a conqueror* (Romans 8:37). Stay strong. No contact means *no contact*—block him if you must. Your future is bright in Him. We are standing with you in prayer.
