As a short answer, I believe God would want me to go no-contact based on what I’ve dealt with over the years. Oh, yes He would! In fact, I’ve had to sever a number of toxic relationships because I felt God leading me to do so for my own safety and good, even when I wanted to hang on longer and didn’t believe I had the strength to let go.
Many people struggle with whether God would approve of them going no-contact, especially when the toxic person is a close family member. While the Bible emphasizes forgiveness and loving others, it also speaks about guarding your heart and not allowing yourself to be continually harmed.
Proverbs 4:23 says, “Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.” If a relationship is causing you continuous pain and harm, it is wise to protect yourself.
Jesus Himself walked away from people who rejected Him (Luke 4:28-30) and taught His disciples to leave places where they were not received (Matthew 10:14). Setting boundaries, including going no-contact when necessary, is not unloving—it is often an act of wisdom.
God desires peace for you (John 14:27), and if maintaining contact with someone is disrupting your well-being and your ability to live in that peace, it is okay to step away. You can still pray for them and forgive them in your heart while keeping a safe distance or you can choose not to do those things, but whatever you do, it’s your choice.
