Anonymous replies to prayer request posting - ‘Althought I Know It’s Wrong..It Doesn’t Seem THAT Wrong’

Hi!  Thank you so much for your prayer and kind words and biblical advice. I have been on such a roller coaster, but the way God works is truly unbelievable.

Around the time I received your email, it was as if another me had taken over. I read your email and I agreed with everything and I truly truly wanted to do what I knew God wanted me to. But I was just so consumed and angry at God for not providing me with what I wanted, that I figured I was going to jump into this short term satisfaction. I purposely shut God out because I didn’t want to have to deal with the conviction. I stopped praying and I stopped doing my quiet times and I stopped talking to my mentor. I was determined to just indulge in this because I kept thinking to myself that I deserved a little human gratification, and that everyone makes mistakes - I’ll just deal with the consequences later.

So I spent time with this guy, spoke to him every day on the phone and made a billion plans with him for after my exams. I was totally indulging in the relationship and totally not acknowledging God in anything. However, one night I was just lying in bed, thinking about the entire situation and about how much I liked this guy and then…. It was seriously as if someone flipped a switch in my brain… I just suddenly stopped liking him and immediately came to my senses. I know that must sound horribly superficial and shallow - and I must seem like a girl so easily influenced by emotions and feelings etc. but it is honestly what happened… and i truly believe God was behind it.

Through my life and especially the past few years, I can see how God has really been behind a lot of weird/random things happening with respects to my relationship with the opposite sex, and in hindsight - it has ALWAYS been for my protection and for the best. I know I can’t say with 100% certainty that it was God who changed my feelings, but i do have certainty that God is in control.

I am now kneeling before my wonderful and gracious Savior who I am in absolute awe of. I am beyond grateful that He is still in control of my life - even when I chose to turn my back on Him. I am absolutely appalled at how easily I could be influenced into turning my back on Him. This was a massive wake up call for me and I really really pray that God gives me the strength to continue drawing near to Him.

Anyway, thank you so so much for your prayer once again. I was so blessed that God led me to weused2bu. You’re such a blessing to me and I’m sure many many others all around the world.

With Love

I agree with you sister..God is in total control. He has you in the palm of His hand. You asked Him for direction and you sought godly counsel and as always He was faithful to reveal His will to you. Your light switch comment..I don’t see anything wrong with what happened. I guess you could say it was like a veil was removed from your eyes and you could see the Truth of God’s Word for your situation. Just remember to seek His face before getting into any relationship (with a guy, business, friendship, or ministry). He will always direct your steps remember that..it will be you choice to follow.

Be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might!
