Desperate! Prayer for salvation!

JL, she is right, it really is nothing. You are not betraying God by praying to him. Jesus himself did not tell the Jews to pray to him, but to God, just as Jesus did.

Thanks.

Remember that I'm not asking anything from her. She's the one that's been asking that I become Jewish. The rest of what you said made sense and I will and do leave the decision up to God. I prayed that the decision be made for me because I cannot trust myself with a decision like this. Thus far I'm willing to go on if she is.

I believe this is the case, but I would like a verse for this if you have it.

Thanks.

(She complains that you should not pray through someone to God. I told her I don't really. I would like to have the reference to show her. ...even though she doesn't believe in the New Testament... at least it might make more sense to her)

Hi

Its been a while. Since I was here last we sort of sorted out some things... or maybe we just let it be. I didn't become Jewish and she stayed Jewish. Her parents have accepted that we would get married like this and mine as well. I feel we just ignored the things we couldn't fix, but I sort of think its the best we could do.

In the mean time we moved in together. I know its wrong, and I just lose grip on my spiruality in times like this.

Its actually few and far in between that I feel on top of things in a spirutual way.

So... time passed. We are now in a 'try to work things out' mode. We have been fighting about different things for the last few months. She loves me very much. Me? I love her very much with my heart, and less with my head. It the summary I could come up with. Our recent problems were of a personality clash nature, but the wedding is planned for end if Feb.

She, in the mean time have been diagnosed with pre-cancerous cervical cells and she's also having a hard time at times. I don't give her enough affection, but I'm a person that does his own thing. I keep myself busy and she can't. She's not interested in any of my interests and I seem just more academic than her (without saying that that's a good or bad thing). I don't know...

Strange thing happened as well - and if I tell you you'll probably try to convince me to break off the relationship. I sort of thought/prayed (it was more a though than a formal prayer) that if the girl at work broke up with her guy by the end of the holidays it would be a sign that I should be with her.... actually I realize it sounds more fishy than anything else, but I haven't been hitting on the girl at work even though I like her and I've just wondered if she was the one that I would have been with if I didn't go the Sarah route.

The Sarah route was a very unlikely event to have happened and maybe that says it was destiny, but then just after I chose to go that way (initially I didn't know Sarah was jewish and after that I didn't understand what the big deal about it was, and after I eventually understood I felt too attached to break it off), the new girl started at our work. I intensionally cut convesations short in the beginning because I didn't want to become too interested in her. I was already engaged by that stage. So I played it cool, but got to know her a bit eventually - she sits just next to me in the open plan office after all. She just seems to fit the mold better, but she found a guy and I felt good that she was sort of taken. That's why I sort of informally requested this breakup sign. I didn't know initially, it did actually work out this way. Its only a time-out between them, but I see that kind of thing as a big problem in a relationship. I told Sarah that there will be no time-outs since you don't have the luxury of timeouts in a marriage.

I suppose that's too long a post already. Just think of me in this (you already did , thanks). I hope I'm not lined up for divorce.

Regards to all.
