Disciple of Prayer
I'd like to ask my fellow brothers and sisters in Christ to pray for some relationship challenges I'm going through. My girlfriend and I have been struggling to make things work and we broke up again today. I was estranged from my faith for a long time, and had become addicted to pornography - something else I ask your prayers for. I have re-committed my life to the Lord, but I'm still having a hard time gaining victory over my sin. I felt that God had answered my prayers, things were getting really good, and as I started falling off the wagon and drifting away, things fell apart. Despite my loss, I thank God for his rebuke and reminder to get back on track, putting Him first. My girlfriend is a broken soul who has been abused and hurt in terrible ways. She needs God's love and I hope to be instrumental in bringing her to salvation. (she does believe, and enjoys going to church sometimes, but I do not believe she is "born again"). Please pray for us. I ask God to help us find a way back to each other as we heal and strengthen. We are both working on the issues, it's not that we aren't compatible at our core, but our past traumas have left us with some bad coping skills that make it hard for us to navigate conflict in a healthy way. I am asking for God's forgiveness and mercy that we might find a path back to each other and finally experience the love and joy that we both want, and that this renewed relationship will be defined by honesty and fidelity, a true love modeled after His love for us. I know that God will not change minds or alter free will, but he can speak to anyone, guide any situation, and change or soften hardened hearts. For any sinner to be called to the alter and be born again, they must feel conviction, hear God's voice, and feel the Holy Spirit moving within them. This gives faith that God can work in and through all persons, even non-believers. My prayers will be with you here, and if you would take a moment to lift up my requests to in prayer to our Father, I would be forever be grateful. God bless you!!
