I'm sure others are in more difficult situations that need more prayers than mine, but it would mean so much to me if anyone could pray for my situation. Please pray for my boyfriend and our relationship. We have been together for almost a year and a half, and by the end of January, my boyfriend stopped responding to me. I was lucky to get a hold of him last month, but I can tell a lot is happening in his life. He's struggling with depression and falling into bad habits (like smoking) and I haven't heard from him in almost a month.

I've tried reaching out to him in every way I can except seeing him in person (we live two hours away). I'm so scared for him, so I ask that you please pray that I hear from him soon, that the depression and bad habits are removed from him, and that our relationship will still go on strong. I love him and I know God brought us together for a reason (I prayed for confirmation many times throughout the year), but I'm so worried and it scares me how I haven't heard from him in almost a month. If you need more clarification for your prayers, I have no problem answering. Thank you so much and it really means a lot to me.

I will be joining in prayer. :groupray:

Thank you so much, I truly appreciate it. It hurts that by Wednesday, it'll be a whole month since I last heard from him. I'm praying every day and hoping that God will reach out to my boyfriend and let him know that I need to hear from him. I'm just so worried and scared.

Praying for you.
Thank you so much, I really do appreciate it. I want to reach out to him again (haven't since Wednesday and of course no word from him), but I'm afraid of not hearing from him again and then breaking down...

I apologize for double posting, but I'm struggling. It's been a month now since I last heard from my boyfriend. I thought he was just not using his phone at all, but I noticed earlier tonight he posted on his instagram (which he never told me about, I had to find out on my own but he assumed he didn't like because he "forgot to tell me"). He has yet to accept my follow request, but he hasn't blocked or denied it either. I'm trying to hold on to faith, but with signs like those, my anxiety goes up and I start having suicidal thoughts. I want God to help my relationship and have my boyfriend call or reply to me, but I'm so scared and upset and struggling. I am just losing it.

Praying for you sister that everything works out and you and your boyfriend work things out.
Thank you. I'm just so scared for my mental health and confused on what to do and I just wish he'd response to me...

You're right, I don't want to put mental health problems on here. I really hope I hear from him soon because I'm not sure how long I can hang on. Thank you so much.

Thank you all so much for the prayers. I wanted to add an update since so much has happened within the last 24 hours. It's long so get ready.

I decided to change my prayers and actually speak to God (as in have a conversation). In so long, I haven't had a conversation with God, so it was amazing to speak to Him and He told me amazing things and what to expect. This morning, my boyfriend finally texted me back, stating he doesn't love me anymore, how he doesn't want me with him, and how he is so sorry for hurting me like this. He said he never wanted to do this to me and told me how I deserve someone way better than him. I was so hurt and confused because I have prayed many times asking God for clarification if my boyfriend and I are meant for one another and last night, God called my boyfriend "your husband" which I would never imagine. My boyfriend even texted my mother apologizing for how he has treated me and for avoiding her as well as reaching out to my friend. After re-reading what he said and how he said it and showing others for clarification, we all believe he didn't stop loving me, but we all agree that a lot is happening in his life (mainly depression and substance addiction).

So I ask for a new prayer: please pray for him. His name is Jose if that helps, and I ask that you please pray that God saves his soul. I ask that you pray that God helps him out of this depression, that he quits smoking and drugs and alcohol, and that he can form a relationship with God. I also ask that you pray for me to have patience during this time. I know God wants me to stand still and have Him work on him, and it hurts so much because I worry that he will find someone else, but I trust in God and I know Jose is my person and God wants us together. Please continue praying that our relationship with fall back together and we will overcome this. I thank you all so much for praying for me and having one prayer answered. It may not have been the answered I wanted, but God know what He's doing and He will make a way.

Thank you all for continue praying for me. I haven't heard from him in a week and I don't know what to do. The depression I have due to this has affected me negatively. I have trouble focusing at work, in school, and it's getting to me mentally. I know the promises God placed in my heart for us, but I don't know what to do. I have so many unanswered questions, and I just want to hear from him again and be able to work this out. I know he is struggling with something and just won't tell me, but being in the dark it hurting me too. Please continue praying for me, for him, and for us. I'm so scared.

I just wanted to thank everyone that has been praying for us and the situation as well as the ones that have reached out to me. It truly means so much that you're all praying for us and our situation. I still get sad and miss talking to him, but after seeing how many people re praying for us and have reached out, my faith has grown so much larger. I haven't had suicidal thoughts in almost a week, I'm crying less, and letting God handle the rest as I wait. I have hope and faith that God will reach out to my boyfriend, that I hear from him soon, and that we are able to restore our relationship. I know the promise God placed in my heart and I know our Father will make a way for us. I'm so excited to know that we will get back together and I want to be able to do something I never did with my boyfriend in the past: pray together. So everyone, I ask that you continue praying for us. That my faith continues staying large and strong, that God will save my boyfriend from any addictions or depression he is suffering with, that my boyfriend contacts me soon, and that God will restore our relationship.
