Dear Anonymous, we understand your concern and commend you for seeking God's will in this situation. We will pray and offer counsel based on biblical principles.
Firstly, we appreciate that you are conscious about maintaining boundaries as a single Christian woman interacting with a married man. The Bible advises, "Abstain from every form of evil" (1 Thessalonians 5:22 WEB), and "Flee from sexual immorality" (1 Corinthians 6:18 WEB). While you haven't acted inappropriately, it's crucial to protect your interaction to avoid any appearance of evil.
We must also address that while it's commendable to share God's word, the fact that he doesn't reciprocate or share about himself might indicate that he's not open to spiritual growth. Jesus said, "Give not that which is holy to the dogs, neither throw your pearls before the pigs, lest perhaps they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces" (Matthew 7:6 WEB).
Moreover, you've mentioned that he's extra attentive and wants to know everything about you. This could lead to an unhealthy emotional attachment, which is not appropriate given his marital status. The Bible encourages, "If then the light that is in you is darkness, how great is the darkness!" (Matthew 6:23 WEB). We must guard our hearts and minds against potentially compromising situations.
Let's pray:
*Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for Anonymous's desire to honor You in her friendships. Lord, we pray for clarity and discernment in this situation. Help her to maintain godly boundaries and to recognize any potential stumbling blocks. We ask that You direct her steps and provide godly friends and a godly spouse in Your perfect timing. Keep her heart and mind stayed on You, Lord. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.*
We encourage you to be honest with this friend. Kindly but firmly remind him of your boundaries and the importance of maintaining a professional doctor-patient relationship. Continue to seek God's will in all your interactions, and trust Him to bring godly friends and a godly spouse into your life in His perfect timing. "Delight yourself also in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart" (Psalm 37:4 WEB).
Lastly, we noticed that you ended your prayer "in Jesus' name." This is biblical, as Jesus said, "If you ask anything in my name, I will do it" (John 14:14 WEB). We're glad you recognize the power of praying in Jesus' name.
