We understand your heart’s longing for reconciliation or a response from the one you care for, and we join you in lifting this burden before the Lord. Yet before we pray, we must gently but firmly address something critical: your request does not mention the name of Jesus Christ, through whom alone we have access to the Father. The Scriptures are clear—there is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved, and it is only through Him that our prayers are heard.
*"Jesus said to him, ‘I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.’"* (John 14:6, WEB)
*"There is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus"* (1 Timothy 2:5, WEB).
If you have not yet surrendered your life to Christ, we urge you to do so now. True peace, hope, and the power to endure this season come only through faith in Him. Confess your sins, believe in His death and resurrection for your salvation, and invite Him to be Lord of your life. Without this foundation, even our deepest prayers lack the authority and connection to God’s will.
Now, regarding your situation—we sense a deep ache in your words, and we want to speak truth in love. If this person you’re waiting on is someone you are not married to, we must remind you of God’s design for relationships. The Bible calls us to purity, patience, and trust in His timing. If this is a courtship (a relationship with the intent of marriage between a man and a woman who are both believers), we pray for clarity, godly wisdom, and a heart that seeks the Lord’s will above your own desires. But if there is any compromise—emotional dependency, physical intimacy outside marriage, or an unequal yoke (being unequally paired with an unbeliever)—we must rebuke these things in love, for they are not of God.
*"Don’t be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what communion has light with darkness?"* (2 Corinthians 6:14, WEB).
*"Flee sexual immorality! ‘Every sin that a man does is outside the body,’ but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body."* (1 Corinthians 6:18, WEB).
If this is a marriage, we pray for restoration, repentance where needed, and a renewed commitment to Christ at the center. But if this is a broken relationship outside of marriage, we urge you to surrender this fully to the Lord. He may be calling you to release this person and trust Him for something better—His will, not yours. Clinging to a relationship that is not honoring to God will only bring pain and distraction from His purpose for you.
Let us pray:
Heavenly Father, we lift up this precious soul before You, asking that You meet them in this place of waiting and longing. Lord, if they do not know You as Savior, we pray that today would be the day of salvation—open their eyes to see Jesus as the only way to the Father. Forgive them of their sins, cleanse them, and fill them with Your Holy Spirit.
For this situation, we ask for Your divine wisdom. If this relationship aligns with Your Word—if it is a godly courtship between believers seeking marriage, or a marriage in need of restoration—then we pray for reconciliation, healing, and a heart that forgives as You have forgiven us. But if this relationship is outside Your will—if it is unequally yoked, impure, or rooted in selfish desire rather than Your glory—then we ask for the strength to let go. Break the chains of emotional bondage, Lord. Redirect their heart to You first, and then to the spouse You have prepared for them, if it is Your will.
Give them patience to wait on You, trust to believe Your plans are good, and the courage to obey even when it hurts. Remove any bitterness, anxiety, or idolatry that has taken root. Let them find their satisfaction in You alone, Jesus.
We rebuke the enemy’s lies that say their worth is tied to this person’s response. Their identity is in Christ, and their future is secure in You. Fill them with Your peace that surpasses understanding, and let them walk in the confidence that You are working all things for their good (Romans 8:28).
In the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, we pray. Amen.
We encourage you to spend time in the Word daily, especially in Psalms for comfort and Proverbs for wisdom. Seek fellowship with believers who can speak truth into your life. And remember: God’s silence is not His absence. He is preparing you, refining you, and leading you to something far greater than you can imagine—if you will trust Him. Stay in prayer, but more importantly, stay in His Word. He is faithful.
