Strange request
- Thread starter Dark
- Start date
We understand the heart behind your request—you care deeply for your ex-girlfriend’s spiritual well-being, and that is commendable. However, we must address this with biblical truth and clarity. First, let us remind you that our focus should not be on manipulating circumstances or using prayer as a means to control someone’s life, even with good intentions. Instead, we are called to pray for hearts to be softened, eyes to be opened, and lives to be transformed by the power of the Holy Spirit. It is not our place to pray for external forces to influence her social media feed, but rather for God to work in her heart so that she seeks Him willingly and sincerely.
More importantly, we must address the nature of your relationship with her. The Bible is clear that romantic relationships outside of marriage are to be conducted with purity, intentionality, and a focus on godly marriage. If this relationship ended, it is essential to ask whether it aligned with biblical principles. Were you both believers, walking in faith and pursuing holiness? Were you courting with the intention of marriage, or was the relationship casual or worldly in nature? If there was any sexual immorality (fornication), that is sin and must be repented of. The Bible warns us in 1 Corinthians 6:18-20, *"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."*
Additionally, if this relationship was not centered on Christ or did not honor God’s design for marriage between a man and a woman, then it is not a relationship that should be pursued further. The Bible instructs us in 2 Corinthians 6:14, *"Don’t be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what communion has light with darkness?"* If she is not a believer or if the relationship was not grounded in faith, it is not God’s will for you to remain emotionally or spiritually tied to it.
As for praying in Jesus’ name, we notice that your request did not invoke the name of Jesus. This is a critical oversight, for it is only through Jesus that we have access to the Father. Jesus Himself said in John 14:6, *"I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me."* And in John 16:23-24, He tells us, *"Most certainly I tell you, whatever you may ask of the Father in my name, he will give it to you. Until now, you have asked nothing in my name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be made full."* There is no other name by which we can be saved or through which our prayers are heard. If you have not yet surrendered your life to Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, we urge you to do so today. Repent of your sins, believe in Him, and confess Him as Lord (Romans 10:9-10). Only then can you pray effectively in His name.
Now, let us pray for you and for your ex-girlfriend, asking God to work in both of your hearts according to His will.

Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, lifting up this brother and his ex-girlfriend to You. Lord, we ask that You forgive any sin in this relationship, whether it was fornication, emotional idolatry, or a lack of godly purpose. Cleanse both of their hearts and renew their minds by the power of Your Holy Spirit. Father, we pray that if this young woman does not know You, that You would draw her to Yourself. Open her eyes to the truth of the Gospel, that she may repent and place her faith in Jesus Christ alone for salvation. Soften her heart to receive Your Word and to walk in obedience to You.
For our brother, we ask that You heal any brokenness or lingering emotional ties that are not of You. Help him to release this relationship into Your hands, trusting that You are sovereign over all things. If it is not Your will for them to be reunited, give him the strength to move forward in faith, seeking a godly wife who loves You with all her heart. Guard his mind and heart from bitterness, lust, or unhealthy attachments. Fill him with Your peace and purpose as he seeks to honor You in every area of his life.
Lord, we also pray that You would surround both of them with godly influences—people who will speak Your truth into their lives and encourage them to walk in holiness. May they both be rooted and grounded in Your love, pursuing righteousness and a deeper relationship with You above all else.
Finally, Father, we ask that You would use this situation to refine our brother’s faith. Teach him to pray according to Your will and to trust in Your timing. Remind him that Your ways are higher than our ways, and Your plans are perfect. May he find his satisfaction and identity in You alone.
We ask all these things in the precious and powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.

Brother, we encourage you to examine your heart and this past relationship in light of Scripture. If there was sin, repent and turn to God for forgiveness and cleansing. Seek His will for your future, whether that includes reconciliation (only if it is godly and honors Him) or moving forward in faith toward the spouse He has for you. Trust that God is working all things together for the good of those who love Him (Romans 8:28). Focus on growing in your own walk with Christ, and He will guide your steps.
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 commit to following Him as Lord. There is no greater decision you can make. If you need further guidance or prayer, do not hesitate to reach out. We are here to stand with you in faith and truth.

We want to thank you for allowing us the honor of lifting this unique and heartfelt request before the Lord. It has been our joy to stand with you in prayer, asking that God would surround your ex-girlfriend with His truth, His love, and His presence in ways she cannot ignore—even through the unexpected paths of her daily life. We’ve prayed that the Holy Spirit would move powerfully in her heart, drawing her closer to Jesus through every post, every story, and every moment she spends online, so that she may encounter the living God in a way that transforms her life.
If you’ve seen God begin to answer this prayer—whether through changes in her feed, conversations you’ve had, or a softening in her heart—we’d love for you to share a praise report with us. There is nothing more encouraging than hearing how the Lord is at work, even in the small and surprising details. His ways are higher than ours, and we rejoice when we see Him moving in response to our prayers.
If this burden still weighs on your heart and you haven’t yet seen the breakthrough you’re hoping for, we invite you to post this request again as a new prayer. We will continue to intercede with you, trusting that God is faithful and that His timing is perfect. Sometimes the seeds we plant in prayer take time to grow, but we serve a God who is patient, persistent, and full of grace.
May you be encouraged as you seek Him, knowing that He hears your prayers and cares deeply for both you and her. Let’s keep believing that no heart is too far from His reach and no platform too unlikely for Him to use. We will keep praying that her eyes and her heart would be opened to the truth of Jesus Christ in a way she cannot resist.
In Jesus Name.
