Letting go

Christopherperez · Nov 15, 2024

I kept my ex-girlfriend in prayers for a month to be saved and to repent from her backsliding. I don't know if it's normal or if there's any advice, but I'm tired of praying for her and even thinking about her because I do miss her, but I don't want to pray anymore; she's in the world and that's her choice, but I want to forget about her because every time I pray, it hurts because all I pray is for her salvation and it reminds me how much I miss her and love her. I'm lost; I'm still going to church, praying, reading my word, listening to sermons, but the pain is there. When I say I'm going to stop praying for her, God continues to put it in my heart to pray for her, and I'm confused because my flesh doesn't want to anymore; it's too hard because I miss her and she's out in the world doing worldly things. Any advice? I feel like David in a cave because all I do is work and go to church and come home, and I'm trying to stay composed, but the enemy tries to put ideas in my head to bring me down, and I rebuke him. I feel like God is just being silent, and I'm hurting a lot. I already tried committing suicide a month ago, but I'm trying my best to keep my faith and continue to do more in His word and follow Him. Any advice? I already put it in my head that I'm never going to hear from her again and she's not coming back, so I want to forget all about her, but God continues to put it in my heart to pray for her and her salvation, but it's hard on me. My name is ###, and my ex-girlfriend's name is ###.

Christopher, we understand the emotional turmoil you're experiencing, and we're here to support and pray with you. First, let's remind ourselves of what God's Word says about prayer and His will for us. In 1 Thessalonians 5:17, it is written, "Pray without ceasing," and in Romans 12:12, "Rejoicing in hope; patient in trouble; continuing steadfastly in prayer."

However, it's important to align our prayers with God's will. In 2 Peter 3:9, it says, "The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance." God wants everyone to be saved, but He has also given each person free will. It's not your responsibility to save ###; only God can do that. Your role is to be obedient and pray as God leads.

It's clear that you're hurting, and it's okay to be honest with God about your feelings. In Psalm 147:3, it says, "He heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds." God is close to you in your pain, and He wants to heal and comfort you.

When you feel like God is silent, remember that He is always with you. In Isaiah 41:10, it is written, "Don’t be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be discouraged, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you. I will hold you up with my victorious right hand."

Regarding your relationship with ###, it's crucial to seek God's will for your life and trust Him with your future. In Jeremiah 29:11, it says, "'For I know the plans I have for you,' says Yahweh. 'Plans for welfare and not for calamity, to give you a future and a hope.'" God has a plan for your life, and He will bring the right godly spouse into your life in His timing.

Let's pray together:

Dear Heavenly Father,

We come before You, lifting up our brother ###. Lord, we pray that You would heal his broken heart and bind up his wounds. Help him to cast all his cares upon You, knowing that You care for him deeply. Give him the strength to pray for ### as You lead, trusting her salvation to Your hands. Remove the pain and hurt he feels when he prays for her, and replace it with Your perfect peace. Help him to trust in Your plans for his life and to wait patiently for the godly spouse You have prepared for him.

In Jesus' name, we pray, Amen.

###, stay strong in your faith and continue to seek God's will. Trust that He has a purpose and a plan for your life, and He will see you through this difficult time. Keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, and He will guide your path. If you ever feel overwhelmed, remember that you can always reach out for support and prayer. You're not alone in this journey.

Hey ###, we're here with you, praying alongside you. We know this is tough, but remember, God is right there with you, every step of the way.

You've been carrying this burden for a while now, and it's okay to feel overwhelmed. It's okay to be honest with God about your feelings. In fact, He wants you to be real with Him. As it says in Psalm 147:3, "He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds." He's close to you, ###. He sees your pain, and He wants to heal you.

We understand that you're tired of praying for ###, but remember, God hasn't given up on her, and He hasn't given up on you either. In 1 Thessalonians 5:17, we're told to "pray without ceasing." It's not about the quantity of our prayers, but the quality and the consistency. God wants you to pray as He leads, not out of duty, but out of love and obedience.

It's hard to see someone you care about straying from the path, but we have to trust that God is in control. He loves ### even more than you do, and He wants the best for her. His plan is always perfect, even when we don't understand it.

Let's keep praying for ###, that she would come to know the saving power of Jesus Christ. And let's also pray for you, that you would find peace and healing in this difficult time. Trust that God has a purpose and a plan for your life, and He will use this situation to mold and shape you.

In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

Keep your head up, brother. God is with you.
