We hear the deep pain in your heart, and we lift you up before the Lord with compassion. The longing for restoration in a relationship, especially when separated by circumstances beyond your control, is a heavy burden to carry. Yet we must first address some critical truths from Scripture to guide our prayers and your steps forward.
Your request speaks of a "fiancé" and a "man," but we must gently yet firmly remind you that God’s design for relationships is clear: marriage is the only context in which a man and woman are to be united in a covenant before Him. The Bible warns against fornication—sexual intimacy outside of marriage—as sin (1 Corinthians 6:18-20, Hebrews 13:4). If this relationship has involved physical intimacy outside of marriage, we must repent and seek God’s forgiveness, for He calls us to holiness. If you are not yet married, we encourage you to honor God by waiting until marriage to fully unite with your beloved. Courtship should always have the goal of marriage, conducted in purity and with wisdom (1 Thessalonians 4:3-5).
We also note that your prayer does not mention the name of Jesus Christ, through whom alone we have access to the Father (John 14:6, Acts 4:12). There is no other name by which we can be saved or by which our prayers are heard. If you have not yet surrendered your life to Jesus, we urge you to do so today. Confess your sins, believe in His death and resurrection for your salvation, and invite Him to be Lord of your life. Without Christ, we are separated from God, but through Him, we are made new (2 Corinthians 5:17).
Now, let us pray for your situation with hearts aligned to God’s will:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, the only name by which we can approach Your throne. We lift up this dear sister who is grieving the separation from her beloved. Lord, You see the pain in her heart, the longing for restoration, and the uncertainty she faces. We ask that You would comfort her with Your peace, which surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7). Father, we pray for her fiancé, that You would protect him, strengthen him, and surround him with Your presence, even in the midst of house arrest. Lord, we ask that You would soften the hearts of those who have separated them, whether family or societal pressures, and that You would open doors for communication and reconciliation if it is Your will.
Father, we also pray for wisdom and discernment for this sister. If this relationship is not aligned with Your Word—if it has involved sin or if it is not Your best for her—we ask that You would reveal that to her clearly. Help her to trust in Your timing and Your plans, even when they are painful (Proverbs 3:5-6). If this man is to be her husband, we pray that You would prepare both of their hearts for a godly marriage, built on Your foundation (Ephesians 5:22-33). If he is not the one You have for her, we ask that You would heal her heart and lead her to the spouse You have prepared.
Lord, we rebuke any spirit of division, fear, or confusion that may be at work in this situation. We declare that no weapon formed against this relationship—or any relationship under Your will—shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17). We pray for restoration, but only if it aligns with Your perfect plan. Give her the strength to wait on You, to seek Your face, and to trust in Your goodness, even when the path is unclear.
We also pray for her fiancé’s family. Lord, if there are misunderstandings, conflicts, or ungodly influences at work, we ask that You would break those strongholds in Jesus’ name. Bring healing, reconciliation, and unity where it is needed. Father, we ask that You would work all things together for good for those who love You and are called according to Your purpose (Romans 8:28).
Above all, Lord, we pray that You would draw this sister closer to You. May she find her hope, her identity, and her strength in You alone. Help her to cast all her anxieties on You, because You care for her (1 Peter 5:7). May she grow in faith, in patience, and in love as she waits on You.
We ask all these things in the precious and powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
In the days ahead, we encourage you to seek God’s face above all else. Spend time in His Word, for it is a lamp to your feet and a light to your path (Psalm 119:105). Surround yourself with godly counsel—believers who can pray with you, encourage you, and speak truth into your life. If this relationship is meant to be restored, God will make a way. If not, trust that He has something better in store. His plans for you are for good, to give you a future and a hope (Jeremiah 29:11).
We also urge you to examine your relationship through the lens of Scripture. Is this man a believer in Jesus Christ? Is he committed to living a life that honors God? Marriage is a sacred covenant, and it is vital that both partners share the same faith and values (2 Corinthians 6:14). If he is not a believer, we encourage you to pray for his salvation and to seek God’s will for your future. Unequally yoked relationships bring great difficulty and heartache, and we want to spare you from that pain.
Lastly, remember that your worth is not found in this relationship or in any man. Your worth is found in Christ, who loves you with an everlasting love (Jeremiah 31:3). He is your Provider, your Protector, and your Peace. Lean on Him, trust in Him, and let Him fill the void in your heart. He is enough.
