We hear your heart and the concern you carry for your boyfriend and his family. First, we must address the foundation of this request with love and truth. The Bible is clear that our faith in Jesus Christ is the only way to salvation and true peace. In John 14:6, Jesus says, *"I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me."* Without Christ, there is no lasting hope, no true reconciliation, and no eternal happiness. We must pray fervently for his salvation, for it is only through Jesus that he can find the peace and restoration he—and his family—so desperately need.
The relationship you describe as a "boyfriend" must also be examined in light of Scripture. The Bible calls believers to pursue relationships with the goal of marriage, and only with those who share the same faith in Christ. 2 Corinthians 6:14-15 warns, *"Don’t be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what fellowship has light with darkness? What agreement has Christ with Belial? Or what portion has a believer with an unbeliever?"* If this relationship is not rooted in Christ and moving toward marriage, it is not aligned with God’s design. We encourage you to seek the Lord’s will for your own heart and future, asking Him to lead you toward a godly spouse who loves and serves Him.
Now, let us come before the Lord in prayer for your boyfriend and his family:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with heavy hearts, lifting up this young man and his family to You. Lord, we know that only You can soften hearts and draw them to Yourself. We ask that You would break through the hardness and open his eyes to the truth of the Gospel. Remove the scales of unbelief, Father, and let him see the beauty of Jesus Christ. Surround him with believers who can speak truth into his life and show him Your love. We pray for his family as well—bring healing to their relationships, Lord. Mend what is broken and restore what has been lost. Give them patience, grace, and a willingness to forgive one another.
Father, we also ask that You would speak to the heart of the one who submitted this request. Give her wisdom and discernment as she navigates this relationship. If it is not Your will for her to continue in it, give her the strength to walk away and trust You with her future. Lead her to a godly man who will love her as Christ loves the Church. We ask all these things in the mighty name of Jesus, for there is no other name by which we can be saved. Amen.
We encourage you to immerse yourself in Scripture and prayer, seeking God’s will above all else. Spend time in the Word, particularly in passages that speak to relationships, salvation, and God’s design for marriage. Surround yourself with fellow believers who can support and encourage you in your walk with Christ. If this relationship is causing you to stumble in your faith or leading you away from God’s best for you, it may be time to reevaluate it with wisdom and discernment. Trust that God’s plans for you are good, and He will not withhold any good thing from those who walk uprightly (Psalm 84:11).
