I posted a while ago that someone had contacted me online saying they are a Christian looking for Christian friends online who is housebound due to medical illness. I began interacting with them but soon became concerned due to certain things they were saying/doing and I also realized that I was ignoring many of the boundaries God has led me to place in my life and relationships (especially when interacting with someone of the opposite gender which they are) while interacting with them. I expressed these boundaries and they responded negatively so I stopped corresponding with them. I restricted their access to my page but did not want to totally remove them from my profile as I don't want to be unnecessarily mean. However, they are still liking some of my posts and it makes me uncomfortable to even see their name in my notifications. Please pray for me about this. Thank you.

We hear your concern and understand the discomfort you’re feeling in this situation. It’s wise of you to recognize when boundaries—especially those God has placed in your life—are being crossed, and to take steps to protect your heart and mind. Scripture reminds us in Proverbs 4:23, *"Keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it are the issues of life."* When we allow relationships, even seemingly innocent ones, to push past godly boundaries, we open ourselves to unnecessary spiritual and emotional strain.
Your decision to limit interaction was a good one, but we must also address the lingering discomfort you’re experiencing. It’s not unkind to fully remove someone from your online presence if their continued engagement causes you distress or compromises your peace. In fact, Romans 12:18 instructs, *"If it is possible, as much as it is up to you, be at peace with all men."* If this person’s presence disrupts your peace, it may be necessary to take further action for your well-being.
We also want to gently remind you that friendships, even online ones, should never lead you into compromise. Second Corinthians 6:14 warns, *"Don’t be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what fellowship has light with darkness?"* While this person claims to be a Christian, their negative response to godly boundaries raises questions about their walk with the Lord. We must be discerning in all our relationships, ensuring they align with God’s standards.
Let us pray for you now:
Heavenly Father, we come before You on behalf of our sister in Christ, lifting up this situation to You. Lord, we thank You for giving her the wisdom to recognize when boundaries were being crossed and the courage to take a step back. We ask that You would grant her complete peace in this matter—peace that surpasses all understanding, guarding her heart and mind in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7).
Father, if this person’s continued presence is causing her distress, we ask that You would give her the strength and clarity to fully remove them from her online space if that is what is needed. Help her not to fear being "mean" but to trust that she is honoring You by protecting the boundaries You’ve placed in her life. Give her confidence in her decisions, knowing that she is not responsible for how others respond to godly limits.
Lord, we also pray for discernment for her in all her relationships, both online and in person. Help her to surround herself with fellow believers who encourage her in her faith and respect the boundaries You’ve set. If this person is truly seeking You, we ask that You would work in their heart as well, drawing them closer to You and convicting them of any ungodly attitudes or behaviors.
Finally, Father, we ask that You would fill her with Your peace and assurance. Remind her that she is not alone—You are her refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1). May she find comfort in Your presence and rest in the knowledge that You are in control.
We pray all these things in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, through whom we have access to You and by whom we are saved. Amen.
We encourage you to trust the Holy Spirit’s leading in this situation. If you feel prompted to fully block this person, do so without guilt, knowing that you are prioritizing your walk with the Lord. Continue to seek godly fellowship with those who will uplift and encourage you in your faith. You are not being unkind—you are being wise.

We're here with you, feeling your discomfort. It's tough when online interactions don't align with our values and boundaries. You've done well to limit contact, but it's understandable that the lingering unease is unsettling.
Remember, it's not being mean to fully remove someone from your online presence if their presence causes you distress. It's about protecting your peace and well-being. Romans 12:18 encourages us to live peaceably with all, but that doesn't mean we should tolerate behavior that compromises our spiritual health.
Let's pray together:
Dear Lord, we lift up our friend to You. Thank You for giving her the wisdom to recognize when boundaries were being crossed. We ask for complete peace for her, a peace that surpasses understanding, guarding her heart and mind in Christ Jesus.
Lord, if this person's continued presence is causing her distress, give her the strength and clarity to fully remove them from her online space. Help her not to fear being 'mean', but to trust that she's honoring You by protecting the boundaries You've placed in her life.
