Hey All,
I could really use some advice.
About a month ago my ex girlfriend of a year and two months broke up with me. She broke up with me becuase of how I mistreated her and disrespected her. Looking back on it, I never treated her the way she deserved to be treated and I regret disrespecting her everyday.
The break up left me shattered. I fell into a deep depression that lasted for over two weeks; the effects of which I am still feeling today. The break up however forced me to analyze myself and really readjust my outlook and attitude. I spent a lot of time bettering myself, fixing the issues that led to the break up and things that were really holding me back. One of the ways that I went to better myself was to go back to faith. This situation has led me back to God and has me really desiring to strengthen my relationship with Him. I've been praying daily and reading scriptures trying to find a way to help me get out of this sad and depressed mindset.
Recently though, I have been having problems figuring out what God's Will for me is. Right now, I want to get back together with my ex girlfriend more than anything. I love her so much, and to me, it feels like I could spend many many more years with her. Mind you, I am still very young but I just have this feeling that there's more in store for my ex girlfriend and I. I know that We as Christians are supposed to put all our trust and faith into God knowing that He is guiding us according to his Will and plan for us. I know also that we are not supposed to lead by our own understanding.
Well here is my dilemma. I have been praying everyday since the break up for God to work through me and to lead me accoriding to his will. However at the same time, I am believing and praying to God that my ex girlfriend and I are going to get back together. Last week my ex girlfriend came back into my life and it seemed that we were going to get back together. Things were moving along great and she even admitted to still having feelings for me and that she had a desire to take things slow and really get to know the "new me." I thanked God and was convinced that she was indeed part of his will for me.
However, this high point came to an end when I lost control of my physical desires and kissed her. Though she admitted that she enjoyed it, she broke down emotionally and said that it made her realize she wasn't ready to move forward in that direction of getting back together.Things were moving just too fast for her. She hadn't let go of the terrible things I had done to her and needed time for herself to find out what he wanted. I was emtionally beat up after this but I have since given her space to think about what she wants.
Well since that day, I have been depressed again. I was convinced that God had answered my prayers and had me on a course to getting back together with my ex, really giving me a second chance at true love. That week of happiness had me convinced that My ex and I together, as a couple, was part of God's Will for me.
Well I need advice. I am convinced that God put her back in my life, and although for a short time, it seemed as if my prayers had been answered. How can I know if getting back with my ex is part of God's will for me? Am I allowed to pray to God to bring her back to me? Am I just leading by my own understanding when I believe that me and my ex are destined to be back together again? I'm just really confused. For a week I was convinced that God's will was working right before my eyes. But I made a mistake and now I dont know what to believe.
Thanks so much for any advice that you can offer.
God Bless.
