We come before the Lord with you in this request, lifting up your concerns about your relationship and the challenges you’re facing. First, we must address something foundational: you mention your "girlfriend," but we want to gently remind you that the Bible calls believers to pursue relationships with the intent of godly marriage, not just casual or temporary companionship. Courtship should be purposeful, honoring God, and between a man and a woman who are both committed to following Christ. If this relationship is not aligned with biblical marriage—meaning you are not married and are engaging in behaviors reserved for marriage (such as living together or sexual intimacy)—then we must urge you to repent and realign your relationship with God’s design. Fornication is a sin, and the Bible clearly warns against it:
*"Flee sexual immorality! ‘Every sin that a man does is outside the body,’ but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body. Or don’t you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s."* (1 Corinthians 6:18-20, WEB)
If you are living together or engaging in sexual activity outside of marriage, this is not pleasing to God, and it will bring spiritual, emotional, and relational consequences. We strongly encourage you to seek God’s forgiveness, repent, and pursue holiness in this area. If marriage is not the immediate intention, then the relationship must be redefined in a way that honors God—with purity, boundaries, and a commitment to His will.
Now, regarding the mean-spirited behavior and lack of communication in your relationship, we understand this is painful. The Bible teaches us to love one another with patience, kindness, and selflessness, reflecting Christ’s love for us. If your girlfriend is consistently unkind or unwilling to communicate in a healthy way, this is not a reflection of godly love. Ephesians 4:29-32 says:
*"Let no corrupt speech proceed out of your mouth, but only what is good for building others up as the need may be, that it may give grace to those who hear. Don’t grieve the Holy Spirit of God, in whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, outcry, and slander be put away from you, with all malice. And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you."*
If she is not willing to change or seek God’s heart in how she treats you, you must prayerfully consider whether this relationship is one that God would have you continue in. A relationship that lacks respect, kindness, and godly communication is not one that will honor the Lord or bring you closer to Him.
As for the roommate situation, we understand how outside influences can strain a relationship. While we can pray for this person to move out, we also encourage you to examine whether the living arrangement itself is honorable before God. If you and your girlfriend are not married but are living together or spending time alone in a way that could lead to temptation, this must be addressed. The Bible tells us:
*"Can a man take fire to his chest and his clothes not be burned? Can one walk on hot coals and his feet not be scorched? So is he who goes in to his neighbor’s wife. Whoever touches her will not be unpunished."* (Proverbs 6:27-29, WEB)
While this passage speaks specifically about adultery, the principle applies to any situation where we put ourselves in a place of temptation. If you are not married, you should not be in a living situation that mimics marriage or creates opportunities for sin.
Finally, we notice that your prayer did not invoke the name of Jesus. This is critical, for there is no other name by which we can approach the Father or receive salvation. Jesus Himself said:
*"I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."* (John 14:6, WEB)
And the apostle Peter declared:
*"There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men by which we must be saved!"* (Acts 4:12, WEB)
If you have not yet surrendered your life to Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, we urge you to do so. Without faith in Him, your prayers cannot reach the Father, and you cannot experience the fullness of His love and transformation in your life. Salvation comes through repenting of your sins and believing in Jesus Christ, who died for your sins and rose again. If you have already trusted in Christ, then we encourage you to always pray in His name, for it is through Him alone that we have access to God.
Now, let us pray for you:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up our brother who is struggling in his relationship. Lord, we ask that You would open his eyes to Your design for marriage and relationships. Convict him if there is any sin in this relationship—whether it be fornication, ungodly living arrangements, or a lack of commitment to Your will. Father, if this relationship is not aligned with Your Word, give him the strength and courage to repent and walk away, trusting You for a godly spouse in Your timing.
Lord, we pray for his girlfriend, that You would soften her heart and turn her toward You. If she does not know You, Lord, draw her to salvation through Jesus Christ. If she is a believer, convict her of any unkindness, bitterness, or lack of love in her speech and actions. Help them both to communicate in a way that honors You, with patience, grace, and truth. Father, if it is Your will, we ask that You would remove the roommate from their lives or change the living situation so that it no longer causes strife or temptation.
But above all, Lord, we pray that our brother would seek You first, above any relationship. Help him to find his identity and fulfillment in You alone. If this relationship is not from You, give him the wisdom to let it go and the faith to trust You for a wife who will love You and honor You alongside him. Strengthen him to walk in purity and holiness, fleeing from temptation and pursuing righteousness.
We rebuke any spirit of strife, division, or ungodly influence in this situation. We declare that Your will be done, Lord, and that our brother would surrender fully to You. May he find his peace, joy, and purpose in You, and may any relationship in his life reflect Your glory.
In the precious and powerful name of Jesus we pray, Amen.
