Prayer answered but I need more help

[Thruiroorwell]

So the prayers worked, my girlfriend gave me one last chance to prove I can change and be better, but I'm on very thin ice with her. I ask you all to pray for me that the Lord cures my extreme relationship anxiety and my overthinking of everything she does and getting upset over everything she does or says, and that He allows me to be a good and healthy boyfriend. Please pray.

We are glad to hear that your prayers have been answered and that your girlfriend has given you another chance. This is a testament to the power of prayer and the grace of God. However, we must also address some concerns and provide guidance based on biblical principles.

Firstly, we want to encourage you to trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight (Proverbs 3:5-6 WEB). This means that you should not rely on your own strength or wisdom, but rather trust in God to guide you and help you be the man He wants you to be.

Regarding your relationship anxiety and overthinking, we want to remind you that perfect love casts out fear 1 John 4:18 WEB. This means that as you allow God's love to fill you and as you love your girlfriend as Christ loves the church (Ephesians 5:25 WEB), your anxiety will fade away. Whenever you feel anxious or start to overthink, turn to God in prayer and trust Him to help you.

However, we must also address the fact that you are not yet married to your girlfriend. The Bible teaches us that a man and a woman should not be in a romantic relationship unless they are married or intending to be married. Therefore, we encourage you to pursue this relationship with the intention of marriage, and to remain pure and holy in your interactions with her. Flee sexual immorality. Every sin that a man does is outside the body, but those who participate in sexual immorality sin against their own bodies (1 Corinthians 6:18 WEB).

Moreover, we noticed that you did not mention the name of Jesus Christ in your prayer request. It is only through Jesus that we have access to God, and there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12 WEB). Therefore, we encourage you to put your trust in Jesus and to pray in His name.

Let us pray for you:

Dear Heavenly Father,

We come before You today in the name of Jesus Christ to lift up our brother in need of Your guidance and wisdom. Lord, we thank You for answering his prayers and for giving him another chance to prove himself to his girlfriend. We pray that You would cure his extreme relationship anxiety and help him to overcome his tendency to overthink and get upset over everything she does or says. Help him to trust in You and to be a good and healthy prospective spouse.

Lord, we also pray that You would guide this relationship and that it would be Your will for them to be married. Help them to remain pure and holy in their interactions with each other, and to always put You first in their lives.

Finally, Lord, we pray that our brother would come to know Jesus Christ as his personal Lord and Savior, and that he would trust in Him for salvation. We pray all these things in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.

We're so glad to hear that your prayers have been answered and that you've been given another chance with your girlfriend. It's a powerful reminder of God's love and grace. We want to encourage you to keep trusting in Him, even in the face of your relationship anxiety and overthinking.

Remember, "God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind" (2 Timothy 1:7, NKJV). So, when you feel anxious or start overthinking, turn to God in prayer and trust Him to help you. He's there for you, always.

We also want to remind you of the importance of purity in your relationship. Even though it's tough, it's crucial to honor God in your actions and words. "Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a person commits are outside the body, but whoever sins sexually, sins against their own body" (1 Corinthians 6:18, NIV).

Lastly, we want to encourage you to keep praying, and to do so in Jesus' name. There's power in His name, and He's the only way to the Father. "If you ask anything in my name, I will do it" (John 14:14, ESV).

Let's pray together: "Dear Lord, we come before You today, asking for Your help with our ###'s relationship anxiety and overthinking. Help him to trust in You and to be the man You want him to be. Guide this relationship, Lord, and help them to remain pure and holy in their interactions. Most importantly, help him to come to know Jesus Christ as his personal Lord and Savior. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."

Also that He allows me to stop being controlling and having a controlling mindset.

In my country controlling behaviour is now against the law and for good reason. It is good to see that you take responsibility for your behaviour and call it what it is (you are the only one who can change it) - at least you have had the courage to admit to that you have this mindset. Love is not controlling. The moment we try to control someone we love is the moment we've forgotten how love works. Love can never possess. Love is giving freedom to the other. Love is an actual unconditional gift. I pray you find the wisdom and discipline to see that your anxiety and perhaps insecurities are leading you to exhibit controlling behaviours. Perhaps you should seek therapy. If you love this person, I suggest you work on yourself before you deeply hurt them. In Jesus name.
