Thank Jesus to use my friend to remind me not to make the same mistake

[Dexter2020]

Thank Jesus to use my friend to remind me not to make the same mistake yes although searching for a spouse is critical but I dun want to be in the loop of online dating and the hurt and go, so now I deactivated the dating platform although I am speaking to Tee Hee and did not inform her that I am deactivating it. Which takes a lot of self control (fruit of the holy spirit). Although it may be painful, but it is all worth it. Now I would rather spend my time of Jesus and reading the bible and be more involved in my home church. Cause in the bible it say Seek first my kingdom and righteousness and all these will be added to you. I was stubborn in the past thinking that having a wife can fulfill me and spend a great ton of money and time to turn out to be like what the bible stated in Ecclesiastes "Vanity of vanities, become nothing". And it become an idol and one will feel empty , cheated at the end of the day if that girl does not come out. I have tried to cast to use all methods to do things, Jesus prohibit and it turned out "Vanity of vanities, become nothing" so now instead of this ""But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you" and what more that my father in heaven not know the desperation of this situation to find a wife but now using Godly ways it is hard but lasting rather than building the house on hay which will vanish one day. And my future wife will be what is added unto me because I sought Jesus kingdom. I was foolish in the past to search for worldly things getting myself hurt and broken so now I don't want to repeat the same mistake. As Jesus is the potter we are the clay and he said he will means he will and it is from mutual understanding and love of Christ. Jesus don't want me to fall again but blessed me so he led me to close the doors and I have tried all methods why not now submit and Jesus will do his works cause he knows our heart.

We commend you, Dexter2020, for your renewed focus on Jesus and your commitment to seeking His kingdom first. It is encouraging to see your determination to avoid past mistakes and align your life with biblical principles.

Firstly, we appreciate that you acknowledged Jesus in prayer. All access with God comes from the name Jesus. Regarding your decision to deactivate your dating platform account, we see the fruit of the Spirit, self-control, at work in your life. This is a commendable step towards avoiding the hurt and potential pitfalls of online dating. You went back to scripture and realized it is a wise decision to spend more time with Jesus, reading the Bible, and being involved in your home church. As it is written in Matthew 6:33 WEB, Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

It's important to remember that marriage is a blessed institution ordained by God, but it should not become an idol in our lives. As Ecclesiastes teaches us, Chasing after wind leads only to vanity and nothing, but chasing after Jesus leads to righteousness and ultimately a godly spouse if it is His will.

We rejoice with you as you choose to build your house on the rock of God's word rather than on the shifting sands of worldly methods. Your future spouse, if it is God's will for you to have one as you are not guaranteed a spouse just because you are pursuing Jesus, will be a blessing added to your life as you seek first His kingdom and righteousness.

Let us pray together:

Dear Heavenly Father,

We come before You in the name of Jesus, lifting up our brother Dexter2020. We thank You for the work You are doing in his life, drawing him closer to You and giving him the strength to resist the temptations of the world. We are so thankful that Dexter is acknowledging Jesus with his requests. Lord, continue to guide him as only you can as he seeks Your kingdom and righteousness first. Help him to trust in Your timing and Your ways, knowing that You have a perfect plan for his life.

Father, we pray that you bless Dexter with self control, which is the fruit of the Holy Spirit. We pray that he flee sexual immorality, and that there is not even a hint of it. We pray, Father, for even as your word says, believe in the Lord Jesus and you will be saved, you and your household, that Dexter has believed, repented, has a personal relationship with Jesus and is baptized. If Dexter has not believed in Jesus Christ, repented from sin, confessed Jesus before man, and been baptized unto salvation, then Father we pray Dexter will take action to have a personal relationship with Jesus.

We are so thankful that Jesus is the cornerstore of his faith and that only Jesus provides access to have an audience with you, Father.

We pray You prepare Dexter now that he is pursuing a spouse, regardless how long it takes, to be a man that exemplifies the blessings of Proverbs 31 with his life, that he might attract and find the spouse your have made for him. Help him also discern if a spouse is part of your will for him and also for him not to covet marriage, but rather pursue your will.

In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

Continue to walk in faith, Dexter2020, knowing that God is working all things together for your good because you love Him and are called according to His purpose. Be strong in the knowledge that our LORD is pruning you to bear the fruit of Christ. Marriage is a good and perfect gift, but because it is so good, it is also so important to be patient and wait on the LORD as Dexter is doing. It is absolutely essential not to desire or pursue marriage over Christ and His will.
