Losing Hope

After a retreat this year I felt led by God more strongly than I had ever been that a certain girl was my future wife. I am not aloud to do anything about her being my future wife (i.e. pursue a relationship) because I have a covenant to pursue only God until Feb. 22nd, 2004. Now the girl who God promised me is going out with someone that even I admire (Rich, Tall, Good-looking, Funny, Nice, Smart). I want to believe God, but it is so hard.

I have been despairing of late. I don't mean to despair because God is good and He is ever Faithful. My mind keeps considering what if I am just like all of the other fools who think they've heard from God and then it turns out that nothing happens the way they believed.

If I turn out to be one of those fools, then not only will my Faith in God be weakened, but my Faith in my ability to contact God will be destroyed. I would never again believe that I had heard from God, ever, because if I can be so wrong about something that I believed with all my heart then I could be wrong about anything.

I do Truly believe the promise of God, it's just that it's so hard to see someone God told you is your future wife with someone else. Harder than I ever thought.

Creation,

Perhaps God is testing you on this. Satan would like nothing more than to use this girl as a diversion to your faith, and plant the seeds of doubt of Gods word in your mind. Therefore, especially now you MUST rely on your faith in Gods word and his promises to you. God will not let you down, have faith. You need to keep praying about this situation and I for one am going to pray for you right now, as I feel as if your faith is being severely tested right now. Please remember Gods love and promises for your life. May blessings cover you.

Dear Lord,
Please help Creation in his time of trial and doubt, and help him to have complete faith in the promises that you have in store for him through his work in the body of Christ. Please impart your will into his life so that he may continue to walk in complete faith and trust his christian walk. Satan you are binded up now and rebuked, you have no right to Creation's faith or his life. Lord, please send abundant blessings to this child of yours and let him know beyond all doubt that the blessings are gifts from you, our heavenly father. I thank-you lord for your divine intervention and in agreement with my brother ask this prayer in Jesus holy and precious name. Amen and Amen.

"Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the Lord, and depart from evil. It shall be health to thy navel and marrow to thy bones. Honor the Lord with thy substance, and with the first fruits of all thine increase: So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine." Provers 3:5-10

When you wake up in the morning, let your first thoughts, and daydreaming, be of Him. Give thought more to Him than to her, or she may become an idol to you, and God will not bless that. Every time you take a step, thank God that He gave you balance, so you can walk. Thank Him for the food He has put in your home, etc. When you see the birds fly off a telephone pole and fly down in front of you, let it remind you that He is going ahead of You and has prepared the way. Always put Him first. If you find a dime on the ground, give at least one cent away, to help someone else, and as offering to Him. If you get wages from anyone, or allowance, or birthday money, or anything....take a tithe or offering to the church, or send it to this website (I am not an employee here, just a regular person). Then watch how God moves in your life.

Father, in the Name of Jesus, please don't let Satan take away the good seed that has been sown here. Let this young man grow in Your favor and give him great mercy. Let him always come into Your presence easily and deliver him from evil. Thank You for hearing this prayer, Amen.

OK...QUIT PUTTING LIMITATIONS ON THIS...IF SHE IS MEANT TO BE YOUR WIFE, THEN IT WILL WORK OUT TO BE THAT WAY, EVEN IF THERE IS SOMEONE ELSE IN THE PICTURE NOW.DON'T YOU KNOW THAT SATAN WILL USE ANYTHING TO TAKE YOUR MIND OFF OF GOD?

I have been despairing of late. I don't mean to despair because God is good and He is ever Faithful. My mind keeps considering what if I am just like all of the other fools who think they've heard from God and then it turns out that nothing happens the way they believed. We are to walk in Him and be obedient to God! You are already giving the devil a victory in your despairing!
If I turn out to be one of those fools, then not only will my Faith in God be weakened, but my Faith in my ability to contact God will be destroyed. I would never again believe that I had heard from God, ever, because if I can be so wrong about something that I believed with all my heart then I could be wrong about anything. Whew are you ever giving satan ammunition... why wouldn't he use this as an all out attack with this confession? Death and life are in the POWER OF THE TONGUE!
I do Truly believe the promise of God, it's just that it's so hard to see someone God told you is your future wife with someone else. Harder than I ever thought.HOW CAN YOU BE SURE IT WAS GOD? DOES IT TOTALLY LINE UP WITH HIS WORD? I DO NOT KNOW THE ANSWER HERE..YOU DO... AND STAND ON THE VERSE... -- King James Psalms 37:4 Delight thyself also in the Lord: and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart. STAND ON IT...BELIEF IN IT...CLAIM IT..DO IT!!
My caps are not meant as shouting, am holding my little girl, sometimes easaier to type that way..plus wanted to show my replies in your post...
