Hello
I have a delicate issue and it's a little hard for me to explains but to make it short, how do you distinguish between useful warnings from God and fearful signs from "the devil" ?
I'm probably too sensitive toward those little signs in life, let me know what you think.
An example : I've been involved in a toxic relationship years ago and I always look for those little signs before I date again because I need God to agree with a new relationship. I met a guy who looked fine, and whose dog had the same name as my ex's dog (a pretty common name). I wondered if it was a serious warning or if it was me being paranoid. Just a few days after that, I learned this man had the exact same mental issue as my ex. At this time I've realized I had to be careful about that "signs".
But now I see them everywhere : it is often numbers linked to important events in my life, but also every random thing that can appear specifically Good or Bad to me. If those things look fine to me I will assume it is God supporting me in a way, and when it looks bad I just assume it is Satan trying to scare me.
But I don't know if things do work like that. I mean, my faith is so strong and I don't even know how God warns me. If you have any advice it would be really appreciated.
