We hear your heartache and longing, and we join you in bringing this burden before the Lord. First, we must address the foundation of your request—your relationship must be rooted in Christ to be blessed by Him. The Bible tells us in 2 Corinthians 6:14, *"Don’t be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship do righteousness and iniquity have? Or what fellowship does light have with darkness?"* If this man is not a believer in Jesus Christ, we must pray first for his salvation, for only then can a relationship honor God.
If he *is* a believer, we must examine whether your relationship aligns with God’s design for love and marriage. The Bible calls us to purity and holiness, and any sexual intimacy outside of marriage is sin (1 Corinthians 6:18-20). If this has been part of your relationship, we must repent and seek God’s forgiveness, trusting Him to restore what has been broken.
Now, let us pray together:
*"Heavenly Father, we come before You with heavy hearts, seeking Your will in this situation. Lord, we ask that You would speak to this man’s heart, not just to rekindle feelings, but to draw him closer to You. If it is Your will for them to be reconciled, soften his heart and open his eyes to the love and commitment that honors You. If this relationship has been built on anything outside of Your design, reveal it, Lord, and lead them both to repentance and restoration in You.
Father, we pray for [###], that You would fill the emptiness in her heart with Your perfect peace. Help her to trust in Your timing and Your plan, even when it is painful. Give her strength to wait on You and to seek Your will above her own desires. If this man is not the one You have for her, prepare her heart to let go and trust You for a godly spouse who will love her as Christ loves the Church.
Lord, we rebuke any spirit of confusion, pride, or hardness of heart that may be keeping them apart. We declare that Your love is greater than any obstacle, and we ask that You would mend what is broken according to Your perfect will. May Your name be glorified in this situation, and may Your will be done. In Jesus’ mighty name, we pray. Amen."*
We encourage you to surrender this relationship fully to God. Seek His wisdom in prayer and through His Word. Proverbs 3:5-6 reminds us, *"Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will direct your paths."* If this man is meant to be your husband, God will bring him back in His timing and in a way that honors Him. If not, trust that God has someone even better prepared for you—someone who will love you as Christ loves the Church (Ephesians 5:25).
In the meantime, focus on your relationship with the Lord. Draw near to Him, and He will draw near to you (James 4:8). Let His love fill you so completely that you are not dependent on any human relationship for your joy or fulfillment. You are deeply loved by the Creator of the universe, and He will never leave you nor forsake you (Hebrews 13:5).
Prayer Focus: God, Thank You for loving me. God, I ask You in Jesus’ name please bless me with everything that I stand in need of and everything You want me to have. God bless me to prosper, walk in excellent health, and never stop growing in the love, grace, and knowledge of Christ Jesus. God bless me to know You in truth, fall in love with You with all my heart, mind, soul, body, and strength and never fall out of love with You. Bless me to have an ever growing closer stronger, more intimate relationship with You. Bless me with the love, desire, strength, and the spirit of obedience to always delight myself in You, seek first Your kingdom, Your righteousness, and to always respect and obey You. Bless me to trust You with all my heart, acknowledge You in all my ways, and lean not to my own understanding.
