I feel greedy requesting a prayer for myself because what's happening to me is obviously part of the plan...

Me and my girl are/were in a serious relationship and the only reason things are going wrong is because her parents don't like my age. (I'm 22 she's 18)

I realize it's wrong to ask God to keep us together or put us back together. And it's wrong to ask God to make her parents accept me if that goes against their will.

But is it wrong to ask God to make her parents see how much I truly love her? Or to ask God for help and guidance on this matter?

I believe everything happens for a reason, there are no coincidences so obviously this is meant to happen to me.

But I feel in my heart that we're meant to be together, it's a feeling I can't explain and I'm not sure what to do with/about it.

Pray for His understanding and trust so that you will have faith that what is happening right now, is His plan.

And then just trust in it. If you and your girlfriend are meant to be, you two will work through this trial and be stronger then ever.

"If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer." - Matthew 21:22

Its not wrong to pray for what we want, but in doing so, we need to understand that He isnt' going to give us everything. He gives us what we need, and He does so on His time. Just remember that.

Wow, Hello!

@ Blind

Thanks I'm just not sure where I'm going in life and I finally had something to believe in with her. Right now however I simply feel lost and hopeless, i've been praying for guidance every night and haven't found it.

Heres the thing, ill be praying for you, but i would request that you pray about it also.
Even if your skeptical about God, use this as a time to have an open heart.
Also -- theres no way i can answer soem of these questions, because God made everyone different with their own problems/grace.

@ vinster with his flame, i love you bro, and will be praying for you.



OH WOW, THIS IS NICE
its at these times God really reveals himself to you, and i feel that if you truly pray and keep going after God,
everything will work out... just dont do anything stupid with it, and is there anythin else i can pray about for you? addictions, cravings, etc.

Okay so another part of my question...

I have had faith that we would be together forever, it's something I couldn't explain but somehow I just KNEW she would always be in my life.

I still feel that now, is that simply my mind playing tricks on me? Or could that be a sign?

@Keasbey

I'm not skeptical about God, I know what's happening now is part of his plan even if it's not the plan I want.

heres the thing, I radically gave God my life because He revealed Himself to me, and His power and one day i went from being a
stoner addicted to cigarrettes and craving weed to reading my bible and praying....
However, sometimes randomly ill think about weed, and my heart will start wanting it because its wicked and ocnfused w/o God (its written.)
@ that point, when you give satan that much of an opening, he'll squeeze right in there and make you think you want it.

Make sure everythings good with God.. and stop worrying, thats my advice, pray for Jesus to clear your heart.

e/ so that you can be able to focus on Him and His will.. everything else will fall in line.

No, maybe pray for me to have proper motivation finally but I've been doing good with that lately

I'm not ready to get over her because nothing has went wrong in my eyes. I feel like she might just be taking time to figure things out.

I'm not sure, I just can't figure it out and I really feel like I need her in my life. Whatever facet that may be.


I wasn't always religious, up until 6 months ago I didn't believe in religion or The Bible, but I always believed in God and felt his prescence. Her coming into my life gave me my true spirituality.

I'm so popularrrrrr

Anyway, I wasn't planning on posting here, but I guess I will since I had such a nice welcome

I guess we'll find out who God loves more - you or her parents. You never know, maybe the parents are praying to God so that their daughter finds someone closer to her own age.

The only thing you truly have control of is your own actions. If you sit back and keep praying that God will some how change her parent's minds... I'm sorry but even if God IS real, doesn't he do stuff on his own time? It might be too late to fix it even if he is real. What you can do (in the here and now) is act as polite and responsible as possible. When you go pick your girlfriend up to go on a date or whatever, bring the mom a flower or something. Try getting to know her father and exploit your common interests.

Actually her parents don't practice religion.

Anyways I'm going to go play some games to get my mind off of these things. Was laying down taking a nap when I started thinking about all of this...

Thanks Keasbey & Blind, you've been very helpful.

And thank you vinster for attempting to help me, I know someone needs to be a voice of reason sometimes and tell people what they don't want to hear sometimes

Thanks everyone!

see the thing is -- your making it seem like it an either/or... its a matter of His will fitting into your life..
you have a will for your life written in Gods plan... whether YOU decide to do it or not, thats your choice,
however, someone else WILL fill it if you dont.

you have such a GROSS idea of Christianity over you bro.
