Confuse

[pawlly]

Since the time I am seeing this man, I have always committed the relationship to God, and HE has been my guide through out. By God's grace, I have been happy. Now when I feel we should move ahead and get married, somehow it is not happening (we are still very much in love). I am afraid I am getting weaker and desperate by day. What shall I do???

Every moment, every day I am praying..for some reason I am yet to get the respone or is it that I am blinded and not able to see because I may not like the answer?

Thoughts from my fellow children of God please...

Have you spoken to him on his thoughts on marriage and how long he believes you should continue to date before committing?

I must ask the same question that candice did, have you talked with him about marriage? If you hadn't, then I say go ahead and talk to him, from the out come of your conversation, I'm sure you will know what your next step might be. Good luck and we will pray for you.

Have you been in this relationship for only a short period of time? Perhaps he may feel its not the right time, or have other reasons. Perhaps Im old fashioned but I feel that it is the man's place to pursue and do the proposing.

You said that you have committed this relationship to the Lord and have been guided by Him...so do'nt take it out of His hands and continue to allow Him to guide you. Pray much and trust Him, He knows what's going on in your heart and what you need. I will also pray for you both. Blessings

Thanks for the responses, yes we have often discuss marriage and we both know that we would like to get married to each other. It is just not happening. From the time we met, we decided that we will try all we can with God's guidance to make this materialise..... We are in different cities, Iam not able to move as am not getting the right kind of job in the city where he live.

I know waiting for God's gentle guidance is all I can do...please pray that I can endure this wait. I just want to get married now as we have been together for 4 years now and I feel he still want to prolong the relationship.

I really feel I need help and strenthen my belive and hope in Jesus. Also, Iam afraid this relationship may not work..... Please Lord help me.

This bring to mind one of my favorite pieces of scripture.

Proverbs 3:5-6

Trust in the LORD with all your heart,

And lean not on your own understanding;

In all your ways acknowledge Him,

And He shall direct your paths.

If we follow this simple teaching, we will find the patience we need. All things are done in His time if you seek His guidance. Trying to push ahead of the Lord is a dangerous place to be in. It is our worldly desire to do so and we all need to put away the old person and allow Him to move instead.

Can he not move to the city where you live?

pawlly, we serve a mighty God to whom nothing is impossible, if it is His will that you get a job in the city where your man is, He is able to make that happen. Four years is a long time to wait in these circumstances, but remember God's timing is always perfect.

Continue to pray seeking His will in this matter...He will never let you down..just trust. Blessings

Duplicate post.

There are so many time when we want something and just know it is right and has to be God's will and then we proceed to go about and make it happen only to find that if we had waited for His timing things would have turned out better than we could have imagined. There are time when we are not ready for what God has planned for us and want us to wait and trust in Him or since He knows the future He knows that is not for our best. I would say wait on God. Patience is not one of my strong suits but that may be what God wants for you. Trust Him.

I can see the Lord's provision,

All He granted yesterday,

But can I trust Him for

Tomorrow, to open up my way ?

A way I cannot see or even

Know what lies ahead ?

But, Holy One I trust You -

In Your Word I've daily read

"Let not your heart be troubled,

Nor let it be afraid."

Your Word has stood the test,

And on it's promises I rest.
