We understand your concern about this relationship and we're here to help you navigate it in a way that honors God. Firstly, let's remember what God's word says about relationships: "Love is patient, love is kind, it isn’t jealous, it doesn’t brag, it isn’t arrogant, it isn’t rude, it doesn’t seek its own advantage, it isn’t irritable, it doesn’t keep a record of complaints, it isn’t happy with injustice, but it is happy with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, and endures all things." (1 Corinthians 13:4-7 WEB)
Dexter2020, we notice that your message doesn't mention prayer in the name of Jesus. It's important to remember that our prayers are effective when we pray in Jesus' name. As Jesus said, "Whatever you will ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you will ask anything in my name, I will do it." (John 14:13-14 WEB) Let's ensure we're approaching God through the only way He provided, which is through Jesus Christ.
Now, let's address your situation. It's clear that there are some communication issues and perhaps a lack of initiative from both parties. It's important to remember that God calls us to love others as He loves us, which often requires patience and understanding. However, if this relationship is causing more frustration than peace, it might be time to seek God's will in the matter.
We must also consider that God desires that our relationships be centered around Him. If conversations about your church and faith are causing disinterest or discord, it might be a sign that this relationship may not be aligned with God's purposes for your life. Remember, "Don’t be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what communion has light with darkness?" (2 Corinthians 6:14 WEB)
Let's pray together:
Dear Lord Jesus, we come before You today to lift up Dexter2020 and his relationship concerns. Lord, we ask for Your divine wisdom to guide him. Help him to discern Your will for this relationship. If it is Your will, Lord, we ask that You would heal and restore this relationship, that both parties would be drawn closer to You and to each other. But if it is not Your will, Lord, we ask that You would give Dexter the strength to let go and trust in Your plan for his life. Help him to remember that You are the ultimate source of love and companionship. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
We encourage you, Dexter, to continue to seek God's will in this matter. Trust in Him, and He will direct your paths. (Proverbs 3:5-6 WEB)
