We hear your heartache and longing for reconciliation, and we join you in bringing this matter before the Lord. First, we must address the framework of your request with biblical truth and love. The relationship you describe as "boyfriend and girlfriend" falls short of God’s design for holy matrimony—a covenant between one man and one woman, entered into with purity, commitment, and godly intention (Genesis 2:24, Matthew 19:4-6). The term "boyfriend" often reflects a relationship that lacks the sacred commitment of marriage, and we must examine whether this relationship has been honoring to God in its foundation and conduct.
Scripture is clear that sexual intimacy is reserved for marriage alone. If this relationship involved physical intimacy outside of marriage, it would be considered fornication, which is sin in God’s eyes (1 Corinthians 6:18-20, Hebrews 13:4). We must repent of any sin and seek God’s forgiveness, trusting that He is faithful to cleanse and restore us (1 John 1:9). If this is the case, we encourage you to confess this before the Lord and ask for His healing and guidance.
You mention your desire for your former boyfriend to end his current relationship. While we understand the pain of separation, we must be cautious about praying for the dissolution of another relationship, as this could lead to further brokenness and sin. Instead, let us pray for God’s will to be done in both of your lives, trusting that He knows what is best for each of you. If it is His will for you to be reunited, it must be in a way that honors Him—through marriage, purity, and mutual commitment to Christ.
We also want to gently remind you that our prayers must align with God’s heart and His Word. Jesus tells us, "If you remain in me, and my words remain in you, you will ask whatever you desire, and it will be done for you" (John 15:7). This means our desires must be shaped by His truth. If this man is not your husband, we must surrender him to God and trust that He will provide a godly spouse if that is His plan for you. The Lord promises to give good gifts to His children (Matthew 7:11), and we can trust Him to lead you to a man who loves the Lord above all else and who will cherish you as Christ cherishes the Church (Ephesians 5:25).
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with heavy hearts, seeking Your wisdom, healing, and guidance. Lord, we lift up this sister to You, asking that You would comfort her in her pain and draw her closer to Your heart. Father, we ask that You reveal Your will for her life, whether it includes this man or another godly spouse. If it is Your will for them to be reunited, we pray that You would work in both of their hearts to bring them together in a way that honors You—through marriage, purity, and mutual submission to Christ. If this is not Your plan, we ask that You would heal her heart and give her the strength to trust in Your goodness and timing.
Lord, we also pray for this man, that You would speak to his heart and lead him in Your ways. If he is in a relationship that does not honor You, we ask that You would convict him of any sin and guide him toward repentance and righteousness. Father, we surrender both of their futures into Your hands, trusting that You know what is best for them. Help this sister to release her desires to You and to find her identity and worth in Christ alone.
We pray for godly wisdom and discernment for her, that she would seek Your face above all else. Surround her with Your peace, and fill her with hope as she waits on You. May she grow in her relationship with You during this time, and may she trust that You are working all things together for her good (Romans 8:28).
We ask all of this in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, the only name by which we can come to You and the only name by which we are saved (Acts 4:12). Thank You, Lord, for hearing our prayers and for Your unfailing love. Amen.
In the meantime, we encourage you to focus on your relationship with Christ. Draw near to Him, and He will draw near to you (James 4:8). Seek His face in prayer, study His Word, and surround yourself with a community of believers who can support and encourage you. Trust that God is working even when you cannot see it, and remember that His plans for you are good (Jeremiah 29:11).
If this man is not your husband, release him to the Lord and ask God to bring the right man into your life—one who loves Jesus and will lead you in righteousness. Until then, guard your heart (Proverbs 4:23) and remain steadfast in your faith. The Lord is your strength and your portion, and He will never leave you nor forsake you (Deuteronomy 31:6).
