Hi, I'm new here.
I need some advice and prayer about some trying situations in my life.
First, i still have feelings for my ex. From what I know, he isn't saved, but while we were dating, he started to take interest in God and Jesus. He even asked me where a few Bible verses were! Anyway, I've been having a really hard time dealing with our breakup, and I need some peace and guidance from God on what to do. This guy makes me happy, and where he is strong, I am not, vise versa. The reason why I am talking about him in present tense is because we are still friends and never really stopped talking. I've been praying for his salvation.
My best friend recently came out of the closet and is dating another female. My parents really wanted me to leave her and tell her she is in sin but I didn't. They told me that I was accepting her sin and I would be turned gay too if I wasn't careful. They are not letting me hang out or talk to her any more (unless other straight people are there). I feel conflicted because I think Jesus wants us to show those who are wrong love, but I also don't want to go to hell.
I've recently noticed that my dad has been saying some pretty rude things to me. Yesterday, he said I would be worthless once I start hanging out with my ex again because I wasn't raking dirt fast enough. He always calls me lazy and says that I do everything halfway. He told me I wasn't dependable when I fell asleep instead of doing his laundry a few minutes ago. He threw my phone across the room.
I'm also in college, and my grades haven't been the best. I really want to be a doctor, so I'm going to really kick the next chemistry class out of the water.
I'm afraid I'm testing the waters too much by still liking this guy. I also feel like I've been burdening others with these problems. I feel like I've been in a dark place ever since the breakup. Its helped me learn more about God's love for us, but it just seems like, ever since then, bad things have been happening. I need some prayer for patience and peace. Any advice would be welcome too. I've never been through something like this and I need some help... and a hug. I feel like God may have turned his back on me, or that I'm hoping for the wrong things, or something.
Thank you.
