I really want to focus my time and energy towards God but I'm having a hard time because there's this guy that I like and I can't stop thinking about him and if I do stop thinking about him, something reminds me of him. How do I focus on God and stop thinking about this guy?
First pray and ask God to keep your mind focused on Christ while you are spending time with God in prayer, bible reading, etc. Then continue to serve God (you may have to pray each time these thoughts pop up).
Then, is this fellow a single (unmarried) Christian who is dedicated to serving God himself? If he is, then pray and ask God to reveal to you the purpose for your meeting him to begin with. Pay close attention to following the Holy Spirit's lead on this matter.
If he is not a Christian, I would not suggest pursuing a committed relationship with him since this will interfere with your personal Christian walk and your desire to serve the Lord first and foremost (evidenced by the fact that to some degree it already has).
Most of all, commit yourself to carrying yourself in a way that God would approve of under such circumstances. He will guide you as you listen and obey.

Thank you so much for reminding me that I need to pray about this every time those thoughts pop up in my mind. I'll be doing a lot of praying, I think. lol.
He is a single(unmarried) man who has dedicated his life to serving God.
You're advice is awesome. Thank you so much. Bless you.
