How to Pray to Get Your Ex Back

Regrets can be devastating. When you’ve made a decision and regret it, you can only ask God to give you another chance. If you are here because you’ve been thinking about how you regret breaking up with your partner and want him or her back in your life, know that you can fully trust God and surrender the matter to Him. You must be patient and pray diligently, consistently, and persistently. Love is something that cannot be forced, as you already know. God won’t force us to love Him, so He patiently waits for us until we are ready to love Him back. It’s the same thing in our relationship with one another. Love is to give freedom. 

We have the free will to choose and decide; this is God’s way of showing us how much we matter to Him. So, it is important that while you are wishing to get back with your ex, you must pray for your partner’s best interests in life. To pray for God’s best for him or her is to show true and unconditional love for that person. You can pray in this matter:

Heavenly Father, I humbly come before You as I lift to Your presence (name of your ex). You know the desire of my heart to get back with them, but I choose that Your will be done above all. I surrender my heart and mind to You, and I ask that You take away all the regrets and pain inside me. I bless my ex in all aspects of life, and I pray that You always guide them on the right path in Jesus’ name. Amen.

As you surrender the matter to the Lord, remaining in regret and dwelling in pain won’t do you any good. Instead, try to find joy in the Lord. Build a deeper relationship with God and be a changed person. Who knows? The next time you see your ex, Christ’s presence in you might be found irresistible. It is best, at this moment of your life, that you first surrender your life to Christ and focus on your relationship with Him. As you seek Him above all else, He promises that all other things will just come. 

Matthew 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

How to Pray to Get Your Ex Back

Can prayers bring my ex back?

God can definitely cause your ex to return to you as you pray, provided this is His perfect will. Prayers can do anything because God can do anything. It isn’t prayer alone that makes things work, but it’s God, Who listens to our prayer and moves in mighty wonders. Yet, as discussed earlier, it is always best to focus first on the Lord while God works on behalf of your prayer requests. You can trust in His ways and His timing, but He needs you to come close to Him. After all, how can He answer you if you don’t understand His wonderful plans, promises, and ways? You can read the Scriptures to fill your mind and heart with the things of God so that the pain of waiting and regretting won’t torment you. Only God can make every relationship work because He is the God of fellowship and union of hearts. Without God in your relationship and marriage, it won’t last long. After all, true love comes from God alone, and He alone is able to produce the fruit of the Spirit in our lives.

Galatians 5:22-23 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.

How to Pray to Get Your Ex Back

So, as you continuously pray to God about your ex and wish for their best, help yourself as well by focusing on building your relationship with God first. Then, You can fully trust in Him, Whose ways and thoughts are higher and more perfect than ours.

Can God fix a broken relationship?

If God can raise a dead person back to life, how much more can He influence a broken relationship? God always can because nothing is impossible with God. As you are here praying for a restoration of your relationship with your ex, know that God can fix it. As you diligently obey His Word, cast your eyes toward Him and prioritize Him first, and things will come clearer in your life. The breakthrough you will receive in your relationship with God will also be a breakthrough for your ex as you cross paths. You see, God is the only way. He is always at the intersecting point in our lives, where all perfect things and people meet. Nothing will work without Him or apart from Him. Truth is apart from Him; we can’t really do anything right in our lives (see John 15:5).As you now build yourself up in the Lord and focus on your relationship with Him, know that there is a great reward in seeking the Lord and in delighting in His presence. As Psalm 20:4 says, “Grant thee according to thine own heart, and fulfill all thy counsel.
