I have been in a toxic relationship for a year and six months. I know deep within I should let go and move forward. Being 20 years old, I feel like I have a whole life ahead of me. I've prayed about my situation many of times and have tried to walk away numerous times only to be lured back in... My flesh is weak everytime although my spirit is willing. I am stuck between a rock and a hard place. I love this individual dearly but my relationship with God is suffering. And when I think about what I've been through in this toxic relationship I feel really ashamed because I know I don't have to be in the situation I'm in if I let go and let God. But I feel that there's a stronghold on me. How can I break this besides prayer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would keep prayer first , you identified what the stronghold is , now surround it with God's word and his truth about it , guard your thought life and allow the holy spirit to do a work in your heart , Philippians 4:8  Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.   1 Corinthians 10:13  No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it   I will keep you in prayer                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goodness even your name reminds me of a verse...Be Still and Know That He Is God...It takes alot for us to even identify that we have a body, a mind and a spirit...I mean to be able to separate them-this is wonderful that you can do this-mainly because we will find that every single thing we do starts with a thought...and The Bible says that sometimes we have to capture those "thoughts" and we soon realizt that we do not have to "act" on them...again we are separating our 3 parts and seeing "The Truth"...O Lord, You are so good!!! By staying in His Word alot (and by doing whatever else The Lord leads us to do) we get to change those thoughts which is a wonderful thing...  Yes...There is certainly a war going on: between flesh and spirit...  I have found that when I draw near to God; He most certainly draws near to me...Every single time I have endeavored to do the right thing in His eyes; He is there and helps me (and supernaturally takes the wrong desire) See I understand having the unhealthy desire for someone...God puts all things in the right order and with healthy wonderful desires...  I have over the years realized that He Is The One That Has Given me Life and The Very Breath I breathe...He Has To Be First Place In My Life...And When I Surrender and Desire Above All To Leave my Life of "the world" , "the flesh" and "the pride of life"...well there is a life that awaits that can't even be described...just say it resembles "Heaven on earth"...His Peace Passes All Understanding...His Love Is The Greatest That Mankind Will Ever Find...If I put God First-Seeking His Kingdom and His Righteousness...He will make sure good things come to me...That's my experience and I sure do Need and Love God...and you...and I'm praying...
