Disobeying

[Syeron]

Heavenly Father, I have been disobeying my parents by flirting with boys again, and having a boyfriend. I broke up with him but I still find myself searching for more male attention that is unhealthy. I get excited when a guy compliments me or tells me how much they truly liked me. And then I give in. I can't say NO! It is drawing a line between me and my family's relationship. I feel like what if my stepmom was put in my shoes at 15 years old. And her parents told her basically to never live your teenage years, can't go out, good grades 24/7, no flirting or having a boyfriend, chores after chores after chores. For 1 1/2 years. Oh, and to have no privacy and never truly be comfortable in your own home because someone is always watching. I'm in prison, just for flirting with boys at 15. And when I had a boyfriend, God the guilt I felt every time. I lied to him saying I was getting checked out at lunch everyday and that I arrived late everyday. But that just wasn't true. I was hiding from my "dirty secret" (him) because I know that if my parent would have found out about him my only freedom, (soccer) would be taken away not once, but now twice. Soccer is my life, and I break down crying at the thought of it getting usurped from me. I still flirt, and my parents found out I had a boyfriend before I even broke up with him. My dad is the only one batting for me, my step family despises me and we are all going to have a conversation about my behavior this weekend and I'm scared. I don't want to lose my life, but...What life do I even have at this point? no phone, no true friends, can't go out, always being watched even when I think i'm not, it just sucks. I had gotten asked to go to winter formal, I had to reject him but he still has interest in me. He walks me to my classes, he asks about me and cares. I don't know what to do anymore. I really like this guy. But is it worth losing my family, soccer, and my future? Help me! what should I tell him? what should I do in this upcoming conversation? I'm scared and need help from God. So please Father show me the path I should take and guide me.

Syeron, we understand that you're going through a difficult time, and we're here to help guide you in accordance with Gods Word. The Bible tells us in 1 Peter 5:5 Likewise, you who are younger be subject to the elder. Yes, all of you gird yourselves with humility, to subject yourselves to one another; for God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble.

It's clear that you've been struggling with obedience, both to your parents and to God's Word. Having a boyfriend and flirting with others is not a godly way, especially when it involves deceit and disobedience to your parents. In fact, this behavior is a slippery slope and can lead to fornication. As Christians, we are called to set ourselves apart and our bodies are temples to the Holy Spirit. We encourage you to seek godly relationships that are based on courtship not flirting. It is a time to see if the other person is pursuing God and possibly could be your future spouse. It is not a time to just have fun as this leads to heartache and sin. A strong godly marriage is a blessing and in Gods design. We need to resist temptation and pursue righteousness, even when it's difficult.

First, we need to address the fact that you did not mention Jesus Christ or His name in your prayer request. It is only through the name of Jesus Christ that we have access to God. John 14:6 Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me. There is no other name given which can save us. Acts 4:12 There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved!

God has made it clear that we are to obey our parents in the Lord, for this is right. Ephesians 6:1 Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. Honor your father and mother, which is the first commandment with promise, that it may be well with you, and you may live long on the earth. The feelings of guilt you experienced when you were deceiving your parents and God are a sign that the Holy Spirit is at work in your life. It is prompting you to repent and turn back to God.

Regarding your upcoming conversation with your family, we advise you to be honest and humble. Admit your wrongdoings and ask for their forgiveness. Share with them your struggles and your desire to change. Remember, God calls us to honor our parents, and by doing so, things will go well for you. Be sure to communicate your understanding of their expectations and the importance of soccer to you. It is ok to ask them for help as you are forced to be around the opposite sex and be honest with them. Ask them for prayer and help.

Concerning the young man who has shown interest in you, it's crucial to set boundaries. Let him know that while you appreciate his kindness, you need to focus on your relationship with God and your family at this time. Be truthful about your fears as that will be a test to see if this is a godly young man. Explain to him that you need to obey your parents and God, and that you cannot continue this relationship if it is not godly. Encourage him to pray for you and be thankful for the kindness he has shown you.

Let's pray together:

Heavenly Father, we come before You, lifting up Syeron in prayer. Lord, she has strayed from Your path, and she's in need of Your guidance and forgiveness. We pray that You will help her to resist temptation and to obey her parents in all things. Help Syeron to be a witness in this world and to set a good example for others to see. Give her the strength to endure this difficult time and to make decisions that honor You. We pray that You will bless her family and soften their hearts and minds. We pray in Jesus name that you will be with Syeron and her family during the conversation and that it will bear good results. We ask this in Jesus' name, Amen.

Hey Syeron,

We're here for you, and we want you to know that God loves you and has a plan for your life. We understand that you're going through a tough time, but remember, God is always by your side.

First, we want to encourage you to be honest with your parents. It's important to come clean about what's been going on. They might be upset, but they love you and want what's best for you. Remember, God commands us to honor our parents (Exodus 20:12), and that includes being truthful with them.

Next, about the guy who's shown interest in you, it's great that he cares, but it's crucial to set boundaries. You need to focus on your relationship with God and your family right now. Be honest with him about your fears and explain that you need to obey your parents and God. It's okay to appreciate his kindness, but make sure he knows that you can't continue this relationship if it's not godly.

Lastly, we want to remind you that God forgives. He forgives us when we mess up and turn back to Him. So, don't be too hard on yourself. Learn from your mistakes and move forward.

Let's pray together:

"Dear Lord, we come to you today on behalf of Syeron. Lord, help her to be honest with her parents and to make decisions that honor you. Give her the strength to resist temptation and to obey her parents. Lord, we ask that you would bless her family and soften their hearts towards Syeron. We pray this in Jesus' name, Amen."
