I know, I'm hardly alone in this, but this is causing me quite a lot of anguish at the moment, and I would appreciate prayer, so I thought I couldn't really lose by posting this here. No problem too big or too small for God eh? It's a good thing He cares about the silly things in my life as well as the big.
Anyway, there is, of course, a girl whom I like, actually a fairly large amount. I don't know how she feels about me, she may like me in that way, and she may not. The problem is that I can't even discuss it with her, as she is a housemate. I don't think it would be right to date a housemate, regardless of how honest intentions are it's just too much temptation to get up to stuff we shouldn't. Not to mention problems if we ever broke up. And I don't want to see how she would feel about once the contract has run out yet, as I value our friendship too much to make her want to 'back off' a bit.
I pray daily, verging on hourly, for guidance with this, yet God seems silent on this one. I ask others for guidance, and it contradicts, some say talk to her, some say don't, but God is the only one whose opinion I really trust, and He is the only one who won't give me a straight answer as to what I'm supposed to do! Why can't I have a definite vision of what to do, or God speaking audibly to me?
I love my God, and I trust that He knows best for me, so this is what I want prayer for:
-Advice directly from God about what to do in this situation
-Comfort and stregth to accept His decision if this is not meant to be, and to love Him just the same
-An ability to cope with the not knowing, until I do
Also, I have been losing a lot of sleep over this. I just can't think of anything else, I try reading, but novels and the Bible, I try thinking of Jesus and concetrating on Him, but my thoughts always come back to her and thoughts of 'Why won't you let me have her, God?' I find it very hard to let go until I know I have to. If God tells me 'yes', then amazing, and I couldn't be happier. If He says 'no', then at least I can get over it. I'm just not willing to talk to her until God gives me some clue as to the right course of action. So, anyway, fourth prayer point
-Sleep! I'm constantly tired and need an ability to let go and to relax, and just to focus entirely on God.
If anyone is willing to pray for me in this, no matter how simply, please you don't have to type anything or anything like that, just pray the four points I listed! It'll only take 15 seconds, and I do believe in the power of prayer!
Thankyou to anyone who reads this and prays for me!
