Dexter2020, we understand your frustration and disappointment, but we want to encourage you to consider some biblical principles regarding your situation. Firstly, let's remember that God's ways are not our ways, and His thoughts are not our thoughts (Isaiah 55:8-9, WEB).
Faith in Jesus Christ is not about immediate, tangible results. It's about trusting in God's plan and timing, knowing that He works all things together for the good of those who love Him (Romans 8:28, WEB). Jesus said, "But seek first God's Kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well." (Matthew 6:33, WEB). This means that our primary focus should be our relationship with God, and other things will follow as He sees fit.
Regarding your prayer for a girlfriend, the Bible encourages us not to be unequally yoked (2 Corinthians 6:14, WEB). This means that we should seek relationships that align with our faith. It's not about getting what we want, but about trusting God to bring the right person into our lives at the right time.
It's also crucial to understand that God is not a genie who grants wishes when we rub the lamp of prayer. He is a loving Father who desires a relationship with us. He wants us to come to Him in prayer, not as a way to get things, but as a way to align our hearts with His will. Jesus taught us to pray, "Let your Kingdom come. Let your will be done, as in heaven, so on earth." (Matthew 6:10, WEB).
Lastly, it's never too late to turn back to God. He is always ready to receive us with open arms, just like the father of the prodigal son (Luke 15:11-32, WEB). Please remember that it is only through Jesus Christ that we have access to God (John 14:6, WEB).
Let us pray for you:
"Father, we lift up Dexter2020 to you. We ask that you reveal your love and faithfulness to them. Help them to understand your will and timing. Help them to seek you first above all else. We pray that you will provide for their needs according to your riches in glory. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
