Help love trouble

Hey man, know just where you are. I just broke it off with my Lizzy, and I feel perhaps I made a wrong decision. Try and just talk to her. It will help. Just talk, no explaining, no debating, just talk. Tell her how you feel, you cannot church it up. And make sure you tell her that this is what you feel, that it is in your heart. It will help.

wow thats tough.... pray about it, ask God to calm you & fill both your hearts with love & not let you & steph get hurt but restore you & all.... pray pray pray & trust in God to make things work out & comfort you both Theres this verse that'd come to my mind kinda often recently I dunno really where it is in the bible like *tries to translate* place your ways in God's hands/ tell God about your ways he'll uh make it good... He'll not let you down here... keep trusting
prayed for you guys

I will pray for you and your friend. Also think about this passage and pray and meditate on the Word of God.

James 1:2-8
"Consider it all joy, my brethern, when you encounter various trials, knowing that faith produces endruance. And let endurance have its perfect result, so that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing. But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives to all generously and without reproach, and it will be given to him. But he must ask in faith without any doubting, for the one who doubts is like the surf of the sea, driven and tossed by the wind. For that man ought not to expect that he will receive anything from the Lord, being a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways."

God uses trials to build us into the men and women that He wants us to be. I too had a long term dating relationship when I was younger and also had to give up that releationship. In the time that followed I struggled greatly but seeked God for the answers. That time in my life was a high point for me. Not being in that relationship freed up a lot of time to spend with God. For me, I believe that God took away that relationship because it was taking over me. My girlfriend was becoming a god in my life. She was getting more attention than God was. As that happened we started to have problems in the relationship until it was broken. It hurts. It hurts a lot. But take comfort in who our Healer is and who will fill that gap in our hearts. It may be God's will that you will in time get back together, but seek God for the answers.

Here is some more scripture to meditate on.
Deuteronomy 4:29-31
"But if from thence thou shalt seek the LORD thy God, thou shalt find him, if thou seek him with all thy heart and with all thy soul. When thou art in tribulation, and all these things are come upon thee, even in the latter days, if thou turn to the LORD thy God, and shalt be obedient unto his voice; (For the LORD thy God is a merciful God he will not forsake thee, neither destroy thee, nor forget the covenant of thy fathers which he sware unto them."

1 Chronicles 16:9-11
"Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him, talk ye of all his wondrous works. Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek the LORD. Seek the LORD and his strength, seek his face continually."

Romans 5:1-5
"Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom also we have obtained our introduction by faith into this grace in which we stand; and we exult in hope of the glory of God. And not only this, but we also exult in our tribulations, knowing that tribulation brings about perseverance; and perseverance, proven character; and proven character, hope; and hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out within our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us. "

God bless and my prayers will be with you.

Man, this is hard because we don't have a right to tell you what to do. This is one of those things you learn by living.
Hmm...from what you've told me it sounds like you have done the right thing. At least it's good to know you're strong enough to do the right thing. Having to give things up or make sacrifices is painful. I believe you did this with her best interest in mind. It's hard to do something you know is going to hurt the one you care about. If you need to get right with God before you get involved in a relationship again, then do that. Focus on that. When I was your age I was not ready for a committed relationship. I had plenty I needed to get straight with God. If anything tell her that you have slipped, or both of you have slipped, and you want to get straightened out and back on the right road before you pursue or resume a relationship. That's honest.

Jim Little, I know u're in a very confused situation right now and don't know what to do. I suggest that perspectives be put in their proper place to get you out of this situation.
Your breaking up with her earlier on to focus on God shows that you know your priorities. Now what you need more is to strengthen those priorities you have. Strengthen your will to work towards loving God more.
Like job_38 said, i suggest you both talk it out. Tell steph what you're concerned about-your christian walk. Make her understand how important you value that.

Matt 6:33 says "But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. "

It would be good if you encourage her to do likewise. After that, you might find it beneficial to seperate for a while so that you can pursue a deeper relationship with our loving God first.

In such situations, we need to have faith that God will work His best plans for us (Jer 29:11). Most of the time we just see things in the here and now but don't see the far. Yes it is hard to see the far, that's why God calls us to have faith and seek Him first.

Lots of prayer is needed too to get you out. Ask your cell group members or friends to pray for u. I'll pray for u too.
