and again...

[Observer]

I'm sorry for posting in prayer requests so much.

I'm in a long distance relationship with somebody. He's a Christian, and I'm... I believe in God, but I'm still confused about some things. We've known eachother for many years, and our goal is to get married. At the moment, we're going through something really scary, because we don't know if God wants us to be together, if he approves of us and gives his blessings. We're confused about who we are and what God created us to be. There have been a couple of influences, which have caused doubt, and we don't know if God is against this relationship or supports it. All we know is that we love eachother so much, and we try to follow what we sense God wants us to, and support eachother the best that we can.

My boyfriend asked me to post this, so this is speaking for both of us. Please tell God that we respect what he stands for and don't want to go against it, and that we want to grow in him. Please pray for God to save our love. Please ask him to have mercy on us. Please ask him for his will, and blessing. We can't do this without him and we want him to be on our side. We just feel stuck in a pit, we... don't know what to do. Please pray for anyone elses relationship or marriage to be protected as well. Thank you.

Oh, and thank you to people who have prayed for me before, I appreciate it a lot.

Observer,

It seems from reading your post that your boyfriend knows the Lord well, but you seem to have some doubt about God's ability to work in your life. If you and your boyfriend does those things that are according to God's Will, then He will bless you and yours. If you are faithful to Him, then He will be faithful to you. So the question of whether God supports your relationship is whether or not you have a strong and secure relationship with Him. Are you reading His Word? Are you praying to Him? Are you faithful in tithes and offerings? Are you loving others that love you in Christ? Are you fellowshipping with your brothers and sisters in Christ? Of course, there are endless things that we should be doing for Him in order for us to please God and come into His favor.

Something that disturbed me was your choice of words when your said, "please tell God that you respect what He stands for and don't want to go against it." Please, please remember that we simply cannot tell God anything. We can however humbly ask God on bended knee to accept our prayers, if we pray according to His Will, and do those things that are pleasing in His sight.

Therefore, we will pray for you and yours to do the Will of God, and He will honor your request. However, you must understand what the will of the Lord is for you.

I will pray for these things too, friend.

God does not want a Christian to marry an unsaved person - it would be extremely hard for both of them. (unequally yoked, not just talking about marriage)

I noticed you posted your request under non-Christian. Do you have any questions or doubts that are keeping you from trusting Christ alone as your sinbearer? Please let us know if we can help.

Aloha in Jesus

Observer, honey,
God is love, He won't come between real love. Lust, yes, but not love. Whether or not the two of you feel ready in this relationship is up to you. Apparently you choose to love your boyfriend because of your concern for the relationship, and he chooses to love you because he hasn't turned away from the relationship.
Into everybody's life there are trials, they don't mean that God doesn't love you, but that He is trying to help you grow. It sounds to me as if your troubles are God's way of strengthening your relationship, not trying to tear it apart.
He is also probably helping you to become stronger in your faith so that you and your boyfriend can have an equal relationship, with nothing to come between you.
Dose that make any sense to you?
I'll be praying for you, hun.

Try to separate your image of God from what your boyfriend knows of Him. It's hard, when all kinds of emotional things are attached, especially an obligation. Just tell God how frustrating this is, whether you totally believe in Him or not. He wants to speak with you as privately as He can, and loves you just as much as He loves your boyfriend. He knows what you're going through.
