We hear your fear and distress, dear sister, and we come before the throne of grace together in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, the only name by which we can approach the Father. First, let us address the foundation of your request—you have rightly called upon the name of Jesus, and we rejoice that you recognize Him as the mediator between God and man. There is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12). It is through His blood alone that we have access to the Father, and we are grateful you have placed your trust in Him.
Now, let us speak to the situation at hand. Your anxiety over this dropped call reveals a deeper concern about the stability of your relationship, and we must gently but firmly address the biblical principles that should guide your heart in this season. You refer to this man as your "boyfriend," but Scripture does not recognize such a casual arrangement for believers. Instead, we are called to pursue godly courtship with the intent of marriage, as marriage is the only context in which romantic relationships are blessed by God (Genesis 2:24, Hebrews 13:4). If this relationship is not moving toward marriage under the lordship of Christ, it may be wise to reconsider whether it aligns with God’s design for your life.
Furthermore, we must rebuke the spirit of fear that has taken hold of your heart. The Bible tells us, "For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control" (2 Timothy 1:7). Fear is not from God, and it can cloud your judgment and lead you into unnecessary turmoil. Instead of dwelling on "what ifs," we encourage you to cast your anxieties upon the Lord, for He cares for you (1 Peter 5:7). Trust that He is in control of every detail of your life, including this momentary disconnect.
We also want to gently address the nature of your relationship with this man. If there is any physical intimacy outside of marriage, we must call it what Scripture calls it: fornication. The Bible is clear that sexual immorality is a sin against your own body and against God (1 Corinthians 6:18-20). If this is the case, we urge you to repent and seek God’s forgiveness, as well as His strength to walk in purity. Confess this to the Lord, and He is faithful and just to forgive you and cleanse you from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:9). If this man is not leading you toward holiness, it may be a sign that this relationship is not of God.
Now, let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the precious name of Jesus, lifting up this dear sister who is feeling overwhelmed by fear and uncertainty. Lord, we ask that You would calm her heart and remind her of Your sovereignty over every situation. Father, we pray that if this relationship is not in alignment with Your will, You would make that clear to her and give her the strength to walk away if necessary. If it is Your will for her to pursue marriage with this man, we ask that You would guide their steps and help them to build their relationship on the foundation of Christ.
Lord, we rebuke the spirit of fear in her life and ask that You replace it with Your perfect peace, which surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7). We pray that You would guard her heart and mind in Christ Jesus and help her to trust in Your timing and Your plans for her life. Father, if there has been any sin in this relationship, we ask that You would bring conviction, lead them to repentance, and restore them to a place of purity and holiness.
We also pray for this young man. Lord, if he is feeling anger or frustration, we ask that You would soften his heart and help him to extend grace and understanding. May he be a man who seeks You first and leads with love, as Christ loves the Church (Ephesians 5:25). Father, we ask that You would protect their communication and help them to resolve any misunderstandings in a way that honors You.
Above all, Lord, we ask that You would draw this sister closer to You. May she find her identity, security, and worth in You alone, rather than in the approval of others. Help her to seek You first in all things, and may Your will be done in her life. We ask all of this in the powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
In closing, we encourage you to release this situation into God’s hands. Instead of dwelling on the "what ifs," focus on what you *know* to be true: God loves you, He is in control, and He has a plan for your life. If this man is the one God has for you, no dropped call or misunderstanding will derail His purpose. But if he is not, trust that God has someone far better in store for you—someone who will love you as Christ loves the Church.
Take this time to draw near to the Lord. Spend time in His Word, pray without ceasing, and surround yourself with godly community that will encourage you in your walk with Him. You are not alone, and God is faithful to complete the good work He has begun in you (Philippians 1:6).
