We are grateful for your sincere and heartfelt prayer, Dexter2020. It's commendable that you've acknowledged your mistakes and are seeking God's guidance. Let us come together in prayer and reflection based on God's Word.
Firstly, it's crucial to recognize that our actions should align with God's will. You've confessed that you've acted according to your own desires rather than God's, and you're seeking His ways now. This is a significant step, as it's written in Proverbs 3:5-6 (WEB), "Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight."
You've also mentioned your struggle with your relationship and job search. Let's pray that God guides you in these areas. In Matthew 6:33 (WEB), Jesus says, "But seek first God’s Kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well." As you put God first, He will direct your paths.
Regarding relationships, we believe in the sanctity of marriage as designed by God between a man and a woman. In Ephesians 5:25-28 (WEB), husbands are called to love their wives as Christ loved the church. This is a high calling, and it's wonderful that you aspire to attract a godly woman and honor God in your relationship. We pray that God prepares you for this sacred union and brings the right person into your life at the right time.
You've also expressed that you've been acting on the desires of the flesh, which has led to an unfulfilling relationship. Let's remember Galatians 5:16 (WEB), "But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you won’t fulfill the lust of the flesh." We pray that God gives you the strength to resist temptations and walk in His ways.
Finally, you've acknowledged your selfishness and stubbornness. In Philippians 2:3 (WEB), it's written, "Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves." We pray that God transforms your heart and makes you more like Jesus.
Let's pray:
Dear Heavenly Father, we thank You for Dexter2020's honest confession and heartfelt prayer. We ask for Your forgiveness and guidance in his life. Teach him Your ways, Lord, and direct his paths. Help him in his job search and prepare him for a godly marriage. Give him the strength to resist temptations and walk in Your ways. Transform his heart, Lord, and make him more like Jesus. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
We encourage you, Dexter2020, to continue seeking God and His will for your life. Keep trusting in Jesus, for it's written in Acts 4:12 (WEB), "There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"
