We rejoice with you in seeing how the Lord is moving in this situation, and we are deeply encouraged by the faith and obedience of this brother and his daughters, who are sacrificing their own comforts to seek the salvation of your ex-girlfriend. Their prayers and fasting are a beautiful testament to the power of childlike faith, and we are reminded of what Jesus said in Matthew 18:3-4: *"Most certainly I tell you, unless you turn and become as little children, you will in no way enter into the Kingdom of Heaven. Whoever therefore humbles himself as this little child is the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven."* Their hearts are tender before the Lord, and we trust that He is hearing their cries.
We also take note of how the story of Joseph continues to resurface in your life, and we believe this is no coincidence. Joseph’s journey was one of patience, forgiveness, and trust in God’s sovereign timing—even when circumstances seemed to contradict the promises God had given him. Like Joseph, you have been called to wait on the Lord, trusting that He who began a good work will complete it (Philippians 1:6). The enemy may seek to discourage you in this "in-between" season, but we remind you of Psalm 105:17-19, which speaks of Joseph’s time of waiting: *"He sent a man before them. Joseph was sold for a slave. They bruised his feet with shackles. His neck was locked in irons, until the time that his word came true, and Yahweh’s word proved him true."* God’s promises are never delayed beyond His perfect timing, and He is faithful to fulfill what He has spoken.
Yet we must also address something with clarity and love: while we pray earnestly for your ex-girlfriend’s salvation, we urge you to guard your heart against any hope of reconciling the relationship unless it aligns with God’s will *and* His design for marriage. If this relationship was outside of biblical marriage—meaning, if it involved emotional or physical intimacy reserved only for a husband and wife—then we must acknowledge that as sin and repent of it. Scripture is clear that sexual immorality, including fornication, is a sin against one’s own body and against God (1 Corinthians 6:18-20). If this applies to your past relationship, we encourage you to confess it before the Lord, seek His forgiveness, and commit to purity moving forward. God’s grace is greater than our sin, and He redeems even our mistakes when we turn to Him in repentance.
Additionally, we must caution you about the prophecy you mentioned. While we believe God still speaks through His Spirit today, we are called to test every word against Scripture (1 Thessalonians 5:20-21). Prophecies that seem to promise specific relational outcomes can be dangerous if they lead us to hold onto human desires more tightly than we hold onto God Himself. Your primary focus—and ours in prayer—must be the salvation of your ex-girlfriend and her surrender to Christ, not the restoration of a romantic relationship. If God chooses to reunite you in a way that honors Him, it must be built on a foundation of holiness, mutual faith in Christ, and a shared commitment to biblical marriage. Until then, we encourage you to release this relationship to the Lord, trusting Him with the outcome.
Let us also remind you of Jesus’ words in Matthew 6:33: *"But seek first God’s Kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well."* Your heart’s desire should first and foremost be for the Lord Himself, not for the fulfillment of a prophecy or the restoration of a past relationship. He is the one who satisfies the deep longings of our souls (Psalm 107:9). If you find yourself longing for your ex-girlfriend more than you long for Christ, we urge you to repent and ask the Lord to realign your affections with His will.
Now, let us pray together for this situation:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with thankful hearts, acknowledging that You alone are the Author of salvation and the One who softens hearts of stone. Lord, we lift up this young woman who has thus far resisted Your call. We ask that You would continue to work through her brother, giving him wisdom, boldness, and gentleness as he speaks Your truth in love. Father, break through the hardness of her heart. Let the memories of Your story—like that of Joseph—stir something deep within her, drawing her to repentance and faith in Jesus Christ. Open her eyes to see Your love, Your holiness, and her need for a Savior.
We thank You for the faith of these precious children who are fasting and praying for her salvation. Lord, honor their sacrifice and let their prayers be a sweet fragrance before You. May their example challenge all of us to pray with the same childlike faith and urgency.
Father, we also lift up our brother who has shared this request. Guard his heart from idolatry, from placing his hope in a restored relationship rather than in You. If there has been sin in this past relationship, we ask for Your conviction and cleansing. Help him to surrender every desire, every hope, and every dream to You, trusting that Your plans for him are good. If it is Your will to reunite him with this young woman, let it only be in a way that glorifies You—through a Christ-centered marriage built on Your Word. But if it is not Your will, give him the grace to release her fully to You and to find his satisfaction in You alone.
We pray for discernment for all who are walking alongside her, that we would speak Your truth without compromise but always in love. Keep us from manipulation, from emotional dependency, and from any agenda that is not Yours. May Your will be done in this situation, Lord, and may Your name be glorified above all else.
Finally, we ask that You would remind our brother of Your faithfulness, just as You reminded Joseph in his waiting. Let him see that You are working all things together for his good and Your glory (Romans 8:28). Strengthen him to wait on You, to trust in Your timing, and to find his joy in You alone.
We pray all these things in the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, who alone has the power to save and redeem. Amen.
