Well where to begin. the past month and a half has been so difficult for me and I’m really in need of some extra prayer in my life. I’d like to start with a praise though, I’m 22 years old and I finally just bought my very first car. God provided the means and it is such a blessing. Now that I have a car i can go a little farther in a job search. and i need a job very badly, so that is my first and ultimate request.
Now, the few reasons this past month and a half has been hard, first off its been a little over a year since my grandma has gone to her home in heaven. this has just been getting harder and harder for me, especially since i spent the day of the anniversary of her passing alone and my birthday 2 days before that.. i miss her voice on the phone so much.
The other request, and this may seem silly to ask of here but i’m hurting and all i know to do now is pray. My boyfriend of almost 2 years who i love so much and hope to marry is being very distant. he has a lot of stress in his life.. his mom has some health issues, he’s only 6 months from graduating so he’s concerned about student teaching and a job, and he’s trying to get his license.. i think all that plus him being scared i’m going to hurt him.. is making him distant. It scares me, I very much don’t want to lose him. I very much appreciate everyones prayers.. and God Bless

Just like you said – Trust in Him…. Don’t think too much about your future because its not in your hands. Trusting in God sometimes means to become a small child who knows nothing but just holding his/her daddy’s hand and going forward.
God Bless
You said, “…”I’d like to start with a praise…” Keep praising Him! The car is the tangible (the thing you can see), but keep praising Him for the intangibles, the things that when you speak it out in prayer or cry out to Him, that He will move heaven and earth to respond to! You are doing the right thing-”trust Him” and Him alone, not man- boyfriends, etc. We are sometimes “shaken” up to move us to “show” Him that we truly trust Him. Sometimes this includes moving people and things out of our lives. Remember, He is the author and finisher of our faith- so as the writer of our lives HE knows our whole story! I pray that as you mourn the loss of your grandmother that you come to know His full promise of everlasting life that she is experiencing! I pray that you are healed and made whole. I pray that the Jehovah Jirah- Our Great Provider-gives you all that He promises and the desires of your heart. Keep praising Him! God Bless!
I’m gonna pray for you, trusting that God will give you a great job soon. As a girl who in the past ruined so many relationships beeing needy I will advise you to get as busy as you can, if you don’t have a job maybe you can find temporary ocupations (nanny, waiter, dog walker, etc).
Even if your bf loves you very much he will get tired (distant) if you demand too much of his attention, men are hunters, God created them that way, if as girls we understand that, the quality of the relationship will be better. Play a little bit hard to get, try to see him only 1 day a week, this will also help you to keep the relationship into the boundries of purity
MG, you could not have taken any better advise as the ones posted. Anita’s posting is profound! While reading it, I could feel her spirit and empathy. I suggest you read her posting over and over again. Seek God and HE will order your steps. God bless you!
