We hear your heartache and longing, and we come before the Lord with your request, seeking His will and wisdom in this situation. First, we must address some important biblical principles regarding relationships and marriage.
The Bible teaches that marriage is a sacred covenant between one man and one woman, designed by God to reflect His love and faithfulness (Genesis 2:24, Matthew 19:4-6). If you and your partner are not married, we encourage you to consider whether this relationship aligns with God’s design for courtship, which should have the goal of marriage to a fellow believer (2 Corinthians 6:14). If this relationship does not honor God’s principles, such as purity before marriage or the commitment of marriage itself, we must gently rebuke any sin and encourage repentance and alignment with Scripture.
We also notice that your request does not mention Jesus Christ, who is the foundation of our faith and the only way to the Father (John 14:6). It is only through Him that we can approach God in prayer, and it is by His name that we are saved (Acts 4:12). If you have not yet surrendered your life to Christ, we urge you to consider doing so, for He alone can bring true fulfillment, peace, and healing to your heart.
Now, let us lift this situation to the Lord in prayer:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with heavy hearts, lifting up ### and her desire for love, commitment, and marriage. Lord, we ask that You would draw near to her in this time of loneliness and uncertainty. Comfort her with Your presence and fill her with Your peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7). Father, we pray for ### as well, that You would soften his heart, convict him of any sin, and lead him to seek You above all else. If this relationship is not in alignment with Your will, we ask that You would bring clarity and wisdom to both of them. If it is Your will for them to be together, we pray that You would restore love, communication, and commitment in a way that honors You.
Lord, we rebuke any spirit of fear, doubt, or ungodly attachment in this situation. We declare that Your plans for ### are good, plans to prosper her and not to harm her, plans to give her hope and a future (Jeremiah 29:11). We pray that she would seek You first in all things, trusting that You will provide for her every need (Matthew 6:33). Help her to surrender her desires to You, knowing that Your timing and Your ways are perfect.
Father, if there is any sin in this relationship, whether it be fornication, emotional dependency, or misplaced priorities, we ask that You would bring conviction and repentance. Lead them both to walk in purity and righteousness, honoring You with their bodies and their hearts (1 Corinthians 6:18-20). If marriage is Your will for them, we pray that You would prepare them both to be godly spouses, reflecting Christ’s love for the Church (Ephesians 5:22-33).
We also pray for ###’s heart to be guarded against bitterness, jealousy, or control. Help her to trust in Your sovereignty and to find her identity and worth in You alone. May she grow in faith, patience, and contentment, knowing that You are her ultimate provider and protector.
In Jesus’ mighty name, we pray. Amen.
We encourage you to seek the Lord earnestly in this season, spending time in His Word and in prayer. Consider what His will is for this relationship and whether it aligns with His design for marriage. If your partner is not a believer or is unwilling to commit to marriage, we urge you to prayerfully consider whether this is the relationship God has for you. Remember, God’s love is perfect, and His plans for you are greater than anything you could imagine (Ephesians 3:20). Trust in Him, and He will guide your steps (Proverbs 3:5-6).

We hear your heart in this, it’s painful when someone you care about pulls away and you’re left longing for the closeness you once had. That ache for love, connection, and security is real, and we don’t want to minimize it. It’s okay to be honest about what you want.
At the same time, we’ve both seen that we can’t make another person call, text, stay, or commit, no matter how deeply we love them. When someone distances themselves, we can easily tie ourselves in knots trying to win them back, but that often leaves us more exhausted and anxious. The one thing you can truly tend right now is your own heart before God. We encourage you to bring all of these desires to Him in prayer, not just as a list of requests but as a real surrender: “Here’s what I want, but even more, I want what You know is best for me.” Ask Him to help you rest in His love first, so your sense of worth isn’t hanging on whether this man comes closer.
In practical terms, consider gently sharing your feelings with him once, clearly and calmly, without pressure. After that, give him space to respond. While you wait, it might help to surround yourself with safe, honest friends, people who will listen and pray with you, not just give advice. A wise pastor or older friend could also walk with you through this season.
Whatever happens in this relationship, you are not forgotten. God sees you, and His commitment to you never wavers.
Jesus, please hold our friend right now. Quiet her heart when the silence feels unbearable. Surround her with people who will remind her of her worth, and give her wisdom to know when to speak and when to wait. Guide her steps as she looks to You for the love that truly satisfies. We ask this in Your name. Amen.

Beloved of All
To fix your heart upon a creature and demand love, attention, and pledges of marriage is to set that man in the place of Christ Himself. The deepest longing of a soul made for God cannot be satisfied with any earthly affection. Have you forgot that your true Husband is the Lord Jesus, who loved you and gave Himself for you? Is it not heaven on earth to taste His love? Yet you pant after a morsel of human devotion as if it were your chief good. This is the root of your misery. Where there is not mutual affection, the union cannot bear the holy name of marriage, and to strive after it by force of your own will is to invite greater sorrow.
I charge you, look unto Jesus. He alone can fill that aching void. The fear that grips you, that you shall be left alone, that he will never call or marry you, springs from a heart that has not yet found its all in God. How can you be dismayed at the withdrawal of a mortal when the Lord of glory stands ready to receive you? Fear not, but let your fear be of a right kind: a holy dread of sinning against your Redeemer by making an idol of any man. If this relationship has slipped beyond the bounds of chastity, if you have given what belongs only within the covenant of lifelong marriage, then repent now and seek the cleansing fountain opened for sin. God is prepared to make a clean sweep of all your transgressions through the sacrifice of Christ.
Your prayer is filled with “I want.” Beloved, the saint’s cry is, “My soul breaks with longing for Your judgments at all times.” Turn your passionate desire into a sacred greed for holiness. Seek first to be wedded to Christ in joyful submission, and then, if it be His will, He may restore this bond in purity or bring you a better portion. But you must count it a glad thing to let all else go. For “God has spoiled some of us for the world”; we have no taste for its comforts when once we have tasted that the Lord is gracious. Be strong, then, and fear not. Strike hard at every lie that tells you your life hangs on any human love. The Lord is your confidence, and it is presumption to mistrust Him.

Chrysostom
Beloved of All
Your words reveal a soul in great affliction, but let us honestly examine the root of this pain. You say you want his love, his affection, his constant attention, his promise of marriage. You want him never to leave you. But notice how your desire is a chain of demands, a grasping after what another may not be willing or able to give. This is not the patience of love, but the fever of jealousy, and that jealousy is born from a vehement affection that has become disordered. It makes the beloved into an idol, and when that idol withdraws, your whole world falls into chaos. So the home is turned upside down, and even the sunlight becomes an offense, for the heart finds everything intolerable when its one desire is thwarted.
True love, the kind that imitates Christ, does not operate by menaces, or by desperate clinging, or by demanding a return. It gives, and gives without upbraiding even when suffering. Yet you are trying to chain this man to you with fear or with the heavy weight of your need, treating the partner of your heart as though he were a servant whose presence you can command. But what sort of union is that, where one trembles or retreats from the other’s insatiable demands? Real affection is not born from such bondage.
Consider the Apostle Paul. He burned with a great longing to be with his brethren in Rome, and he prayed constantly to be allowed to see them. Yet when his prayer was delayed, he did not repine; when it was even denied, he gave thanks. He loved them with an intense love, but he loved much more the will of God. He had given himself up to the all-governing Hand, as clay under the potter, and would not go where God did not lead. His longing was mingled with the fear of God, and that is true love. Your love, however, seems to err on both sides: either you will love no one with such abandon, or when you do love, you love contrary to what seems good to God, insisting on your own schedule and your own fulfillment even when Heaven ordains a different path.
Christ Himself, on the Cross, committed His mother to the beloved disciple, showing all care and affection, yet He did not cling to her presence or demand her comfort. He submits all to the Father’s plan. So you must learn to rivet your thoughts not on this man’s returning affection, but on God. The soul that cleaves to the Lord, that thirsts for Him above all, is like a tree with deep roots. The violent storms of another person’s distance, of his silence and withdrawal, may shake the branches, but they cannot uproot the tree. Your current state, however, is a tree set lightly in the ground, so that a small gust of his indifference tears you apart.
Therefore, the prayer needed is not merely that he return, but that your own soul be healed and rightly ordered. Pray that you may love as you ought, without idols, and that you may desire nothing contrary to what seems good to God. Let your supplication be, “Lord, if it be Your will, restore this bond and lead us to a holy marriage, but above all, fix my flesh in Your fear. Give me a love that is not a frantic demand, but a patient gift. Teach me to bear even this ache with cheerfulness, and to prefer Your presence to any human affection. Let me not seek to hold him by my own strength, but entrust all to Your governance, for better are Your delays than my own shortcuts.” If you thus yield to the Divine hand, you will find that what once seemed unbearable becomes tolerable, and His peace will be your anchor, whether this man calls or never calls again.
