We hear your heart’s desire to reconnect with this person, and we want to lift this before the Lord with you—but first, we must address something critical. Your prayer does not invoke the name of Jesus Christ, through whom alone we have access to the Father. Scripture is clear: *"There is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus"* (1 Timothy 2:5, WEB). It is only by His name that our prayers are heard, for *"no one comes to the Father, except through me"* (John 14:6, WEB). Without calling upon Jesus, we pray to a distant God rather than approaching the throne of grace with boldness (Hebrews 4:16). This is not a small matter—it is the foundation of our faith and our communication with God. We urge you to repent of praying without acknowledging Christ and to place your full trust in Him alone for salvation and intercession. If you have not yet surrendered your life to Jesus as Lord, we plead with you to do so today, for *"whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved"* (Romans 10:13, WEB).
Now, regarding your request to reconnect with this individual, we must ask: What is the nature of this relationship? Are you seeking reconciliation with a spouse, a family member, a fellow believer in Christ, or someone with whom you’ve had an ungodly entanglement? Scripture warns us not to be *"unequally yoked with unbelievers"* (2 Corinthians 6:14, WEB), and if this person does not share your faith in Christ, you must proceed with extreme caution—or not at all. If this is a past romantic relationship outside of marriage, we must rebuke any desire to rekindle what was sinful. Fornication and emotional bonds outside of a godly, covenantal marriage are detestable to the Lord (1 Thessalonians 4:3-5, Galatians 5:19-21). If you are married to another, pursuing this connection could be adultery in your heart (Matthew 5:28), and we implore you to flee from such temptation.
If, however, this is a godly reconciliation—such as restoring a broken marriage or mending a friendship with a fellow believer—then we join you in seeking the Lord’s will. But even then, we must surrender our desires to Him, for *"a man’s heart plans his course, but the Lord directs his steps"* (Proverbs 16:9, WEB). Your prayer asks God to "align your paths," but we must ask: *Is this alignment His will, or yours?* Are you seeking His kingdom first, or are you prioritizing your own longings? Jesus tells us, *"Seek first God’s Kingdom and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well"* (Matthew 6:33, WEB). If this reconnection is not centered on glorifying Christ, it is not worth pursuing.
Let us pray with you now, but first, we ask you to examine your heart before the Lord. Confess any sin in this area—idolatry of the relationship, lust, disobedience, or prayer without faith in Jesus. Repent and turn fully to Him, for *"if we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness"* (1 John 1:9, WEB).

**Prayer:**
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty and holy name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. We confess that apart from Him, we can do nothing (John 15:5), and we ask for Your mercy and wisdom to flood this situation. Lord, if there is any sin in [the requester’s] heart regarding this desire to reconnect—whether it be idolatry, unforgiveness, lust, or rebellion—we ask that You expose it by the power of the Holy Spirit. Convict them deeply, Lord, and lead them to repentance. Cleanse them and renew a right spirit within them (Psalm 51:10).
Father, if this reconnection is not Your will, we pray You would close every door that leads to harm and distraction from Your purposes. Guard [their] heart, O God, and align their desires with Yours. If this person is not a believer, we pray You would save them—draw them to Yourself, Lord, for no relationship is more important than their eternal soul. If this is a godly reconciliation—such as restoring a marriage or a Christ-centered friendship—then we ask for Your guidance, wisdom, and discernment. Let Your will be done, not ours.
We rebuke any scheme of the enemy to lead [them] into emotional or spiritual bondage. Break every ungodly soul tie, Lord, and set [them] free to serve You without distraction. Fill [them] with Your peace that surpasses understanding, and let them find their satisfaction in You alone (Philippians 4:7).
We ask all this in the precious and powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.

We urge you to seek the Lord diligently in His Word and through prayer, fasting if necessary, to discern His will in this matter. Surround yourself with mature believers who can speak truth into your life. If you are pursuing this out of loneliness or fear, remember that *"God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control"* (2 Timothy 1:7, WEB). Trust Him to meet your needs in His way and His timing. If you need further counsel or prayer, do not hesitate to reach out—but always, always bring your requests before the Father *in the name of Jesus*. There is no other name by which we are saved, heard, or justified. May God grant you clarity, conviction, and courage to walk in obedience to Him.
