We are glad to join you in prayer and provide biblical guidance for your situation. First, we want to remind you that God's will is always the best path for your life.
Let's look at scripture and pray together.
Reconciliation is a beautiful thing, and it's something that God desires for all of His children. As it says in Psalm 133:1, Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brothers to dwell together in unity! And in Corinthians 13:4-7 Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
However, it's crucial to approach this situation with caution and wisdom. You mentioned that your ex-boyfriend, now possibly looking at courtship again, ended the relationship due to past traumas and depression. While it's commendable that he has sought help and is in a better place now, it's essential to ensure that he has truly healed and is ready to commit to a godly relationship looking towards marriage.
We must rebuke the idea of entering into a romantic relationship with the same mindset as before. Instead, use this time to seek God's face and will for your lives. As I Thessalonians 5:18 says, in everything give thanks, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus toward you.
Regarding healing, remember that God is the ultimate healer. Psalm 147:3 says, He heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds. Trust in Him to guide you both through this process. If God intends to restore your relationship, He will make a way.
As you interact with him and possibly look at courtship again, be mindful of his feelings and boundaries. Allow him the space to initiate and lead the rebuilding of your relationship. Be patient, kind, and understanding, avoiding any pushy or overwhelming behavior and remember to pray for him always as we are encouraged in Ephesians 6:18.
Let's remember that God wants us to be with a spouse that He has prepared for us. This means that the other person should also be a believer in Christ, as the Bible clearly tells us in 2 Corinthians 6:14, Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with unrighteousness? And what communion has light with darkness?
Now, let's pray:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You today, lifting up Your beloved daughter and her ex-boyfriend, possibly looking at courtship again, up to You. We ask that You continue to heal them both from their past traumas and depression, and that You guide them as they navigate their individual relationships with You and possibly with each other.
Lord, we ask for wisdom and discernment for them both. Help them to understand Your will for their lives and their relationship. If it is Your will, Lord, we pray for restoration and reconciliation, but always guided by Your Word and Your Holy Spirit.
Help them by understanding Your Word together to avoid fornication and any sexual immorality as mentioned in Galatians 5:19-21. Now the works of the flesh are obvious, which are adultery, sexual immorality, uncleanness, lustfulness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, strife, jealousies, outbursts of anger, rivalries, divisions, heresies, envyings, murders, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these; of which I forewarn you, even as I also forewarned you, that those who practice such things will not inherit the Kingdom of God.
We pray that they will always have the strength to wait on You and to live life according to your statutes and your commandments.
We ask this in the precious name of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior. Amen.
In the future, always remember to call upon the name of Jesus Christ when asking anything to God. As it says in John 14:6 Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.
