We understand the deep pain and longing in your heart, and we want to lift you up in prayer while also speaking truth into your situation with love and biblical clarity. First, we must address that your request does not mention the name of Jesus Christ, through whom we have access to the Father and by whom all things—including restoration—are possible. There is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved, and it is only through faith in Christ that we can approach God’s throne with confidence (Acts 4:12, Ephesians 3:12). If you have not yet surrendered your life to Jesus as your Lord and Savior, we urge you to do so, for He alone can heal your heart and guide your steps in wisdom and righteousness. The Bible tells us that if we confess with our mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in our heart that God raised Him from the dead, we will be saved (Romans 10:9). Without this foundation, any prayer for restoration lacks the power and authority that comes from a relationship with Christ.
Now, let us speak to the situation you’ve shared. Your pain is evident, and we grieve with you over the broken bond you once cherished. However, we must also address some hard truths from Scripture to ensure you are seeking God’s will above your own desires. The Bible teaches that relationships—especially those leading toward marriage—must be rooted in Christ, purity, and mutual commitment. You mentioned that this man no longer has feelings for you because of a mistake you made. While we don’t know the nature of that mistake, we must ask: was this relationship honoring to God in every way? Were you both walking in obedience to His Word, or were there compromises—perhaps emotional, physical, or spiritual—that grieved the Holy Spirit?
If this relationship involved sexual immorality (which includes any physical intimacy outside of marriage), we must call it what Scripture calls it: sin. The Bible is clear that fornication and adultery are detestable to God and harm our relationship with Him (1 Corinthians 6:18-20, Galatians 5:19-21). If this applies to your situation, we urge you to repent and turn away from such sin, seeking God’s forgiveness and cleansing. He is faithful to forgive when we confess (1 John 1:9), but we must also accept the consequences of our actions and trust Him to redeem our brokenness in His timing and way.
Additionally, this man has made it clear that his feelings for you have changed and that he is now pursuing someone else. While this is heartbreaking, we must respect his agency and the reality of the situation. The Bible warns us not to awaken love before its time (Song of Solomon 2:7) and to guard our hearts, for everything we do flows from it (Proverbs 4:23). Clinging to a relationship that is not reciprocated—or worse, one that has ended—can lead to idolatry, where the desire for this man replaces your devotion to Christ. Jesus must be your first love (Revelation 2:4), and no earthly relationship should take precedence over your relationship with Him.
Instead of praying for this man to return to you, we will pray for *your* heart to be surrendered to God’s will, whatever that may be. We will ask the Lord to heal your brokenness, to reveal any sin that needs to be addressed, and to guide you into a future that honors Him—whether that includes this man or not. If it is God’s will for reconciliation, He is more than able to soften hearts and restore what is broken. But if it is not His will, we must trust that His plans for you are good, even when they are painful (Jeremiah 29:11).
Here is our prayer for you:
Heavenly Father, we lift up this precious sister to You, knowing that You see her pain and collect every tear she has shed (Psalm 56:8). Lord, we ask that You draw her closer to Yourself in this season of heartache. If she does not know You as her Savior, we pray that today would be the day she surrenders her life to Jesus Christ, confessing Him as Lord and believing in His resurrection. Father, forgive her for any sin that has separated her from You or from Your best for her life. Cleanse her and renew a right spirit within her (Psalm 51:10).
Lord, we ask for Your comfort to surround her like a garment, for You are near to the brokenhearted (Psalm 34:18). Give her the strength to release this man into Your hands, trusting that You hold his heart and her future. If there is any hope for reconciliation, we pray that You would work mightily to restore what has been broken—but only if it aligns with Your will and Your glory. If this relationship is not Your plan for her, we ask that You would close that door permanently and open her eyes to the new path You have prepared for her.
Father, protect her from the enemy’s lies that she is unlovable or that her worth is tied to this man’s affections. Remind her that she is fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14) and that her identity is found in Christ alone. Give her the grace to forgive this man and to forgive herself, releasing any bitterness or resentment that could take root.
We pray that You would surround her with godly community—sisters and brothers in Christ who can speak truth, offer support, and point her to You. Fill her with Your peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7) and give her hope for the future You have planned.
Finally, Lord, we ask that You would prepare her heart for the godly spouse You may have for her—one who loves You above all else and who will cherish her as Christ loves the church (Ephesians 5:25). If marriage is Your will for her, we pray that You would bring a man of integrity, faith, and commitment into her life in Your perfect timing. But even if You call her to a season—or a lifetime—of singleness, we pray that You would satisfy her with Your presence and purpose.
We rebuked any spirit of rejection, loneliness, or despair that may be trying to take hold of her mind and heart. By the authority of Jesus Christ, we command these lies to flee and declare that she is held secure in the love of her Heavenly Father.
In the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, we pray. Amen.

Sister, we encourage you to spend time in God’s Word daily, especially in the Psalms and the New Testament, where you will find comfort and wisdom. Seek out a Bible-believing church where you can grow in your faith and find support. If this relationship involved sin, we urge you to repent and walk in purity from this day forward. God’s grace is sufficient, and His mercy is new every morning (Lamentations 3:22-23).
Remember that delayed obedience is disobedience. If you know there is sin in your life, don’t wait another day to turn from it. Surrender it to Jesus now, and let Him lead you into the abundant life He has for you (John 10:10). Whether this man returns or not, your ultimate goal should be to honor God in all things. Trust that His way is perfect, even when it’s painful. He sees you, He loves you, and He has not forgotten you.
