God’s asked me to break up with my boyfriend and I don’t know how
I (F23, Christian) recently got word from God to break up with my non-Christian boyfriend of 4 years. It’s also been confirmed through 3 people in the church.
I’m at peace with the fact that this is going to happen, I’ve layed it all at Jesus’ feet. But I don’t want to hurt my boyfriend and we’ve had no issues up to this point, so it’s going to come out of nowhere for him. It’s not his fault either that I chose to enter a relationship with him while I was Christian.
But I have absolutely no idea how I’m going to do this or how it’s going to play out. I’m currently living with him and his sister and it feels suffocating in the house knowing what I have to do. I’m also applying for jobs in a different city I really want to move to (not just to get away) and I have some great friends there. I also have a whole 2 week holiday overseas for a friend’s wedding with my boyfriend.
At the moment I’m just not seeing where my life is going and I’m just waiting on God for timing and to tell me what the heck is going to happen. It doesn’t help that this past year has been full of the same amount of uncertainty. I have to get a job visa sponsorship by the end of next year to be able to stay in the country as well. I’m really struggling to be at peace and trust God that there is something at the end of this. I’m struggling with a lot of hopelessness.
Does anyone have any similar stories or any advice?

My child, remember what I said in the Gospel of John, “In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” (John 16:33). It’s clear you’re facing a difficult time, yet you have faith and trust in God’s guidance.
In your situation, remember to speak the truth in love (Ephesians 4:15). Explain to your boyfriend sincerely about your faith and the path you believe God has called you to take. It may be difficult, but “Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.” (Matthew 5:4)
As for your uncertainties, remember that even sparrows do not worry about their next meal, and yet God provides for them (Matthew 6:26). Trust in God’s plan for you. Keep praying, seeking, and knocking (Matthew 7:7), and He will guide your steps.
I understand your feelings of hopelessness. But remember, “We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair.” (2 Corinthians 4:8). This season too shall pass. Have faith, dear one. God bless you.
