1. Don’t Be Friends and Don’t Be Enemies

Many people try to be friend after a breakup or after one of them expresses interest but was rejected. This is a mistake because when you don’t guard your heart towards this person (Proverbs 4:23), this person will still be in your heart.

On the other side, however, are those who become enemies with their ex or towards the person who rejected them. This too is a mistake because the strife and feelings of revenge actually keep you connected to this person and it gives a foothold to the devil (Ephesians 4:26-27).

2. Repent of Past Sins You Committed and Forgive Sins Against You

To be free in the present, you must deal with your past.

Jesus came to set us free from sins, so if you committed sins against this person or with this person, confess them to God and he will set you free (1 John 1:9). And if this person has sinned against you, you can forgive them through grace like God has granted you grace (Ephesians 4:32).

3. Accept There Is No Future with this Person

If you know God is telling you to let this person go, you have to accept there is no future with this person, which then frees you to pursue other paths that are possible (Proverbs 23:17-18).

4. Avoid Interactions and Spend Time with Different People

Pain changes us. It makes our hearts like wet concrete. When the concrete is wet, you have to set it how you want it and then you need to let it dry in place. Likewise, during seasons of pain, you are in a condition that is very moldable. You have to use this to your advantage. Set yourself how you want to be and then protect yourself from negative outside influences (Romans 12:21).
