Prayer for God's Will in Marriage

[ephemera]

Hi, I kindly request prayer for God's will about marriage partner. I know God has a faithful and wonderful man for me, but it's been many years and I feel a bit sad lately.

Some months ago I encountered a man on SoMe that has been encouraging me and sort of like my biggest cheerleader. I was thankful for that but I know he is not it.
From start I feel unrest and warning in my Spirit, like I can't trust him and that he is dishonest about some things. No matter how nice he can speak. He also got recently divorced, so a red flag for me and of course is not saved.
Either way, I helped him as a Christian and have done as much as I can.

But his social media give me anxiety and lately so many women he added and liked their photo. Also he mostly show off and psot about himself. I get tired of seeing the self-centeredness.
He wrote to me everyday but God show me his character... I feel more insecure and distrustful with his actions and life. But I never think anyone can act like this, at least I never experienced it before.

I try to stay busy and in church and then I'm fine. But when I'm by myself, is when I think of him and get anxious.

Should I delete him or block him? At least I will have my peace back. I think I have given enough already and not seeing results... he talks alot about wanting to come see me. But perhaps not so safe. Reality is best for meeting people anyhow.

I would just like to meet the man God has for me who brings me peace and security and no worry about other women! A praying and godly man

Thanks.

Thank you! I've been here many years ago but decided to reactivate.

Thanks alot for prayer and kind words!
I have to trust God's leading in all this and I hope I know how to handle this other situation eventually.

I join in prayer for you for the Lord to lead you in the way you must go. Untangle yourself from this man on the web. Seek more of the Lord in your life and the peace that only the Lord can give.
May God bless you as you draw closer to him.

I pray that God would let you know whether you should block this man on the website. I pray that God would lead you to the man that He wants you to marry, either through a dating site or through real-life interactions. I also pray that God would be sufficient for you while you look for a husband.

Thanks! I await His answer.
I met this man on IG via common interests and we have encouraged eachother but I sense he does things to make me insecure at times.
I'm open as to how God will bring the right match for me into my life although I prefer reality, and try to focus on Jesus instead.

If it doesn't work out with this one, it shouldn't stress you. God could be making some improvements in your life, iinorder to solidify His relationship with you, so that when He finally sends the right one, you will never put a man before Christ, no matter what.

A certain Sister's husband left her, for another woman years ago, then she did everything she could, including attending deliverance services, to try and save her marriage, but the husband still didn't return home, up to today, she is still on her own. Then one day, after crying herself to sleep concerning her broken marriage, the Lord finally appeared to her and said " I am your husband." Now whether the Lord will ever restore their marriage or not, only He knows, but one thing's for sure, no one will ever come between her and her God again.

Amen to that sister!
I agree. I actually know he isn't the one, because God has shown me what kind of man he has for me and given me peace about it long time ago.
It's true that God is preparing me and working out some issues.
I just wanted to help this man and share the Gospel,
but I don't think I can get through anymore. The last photo he posted was a photo with a woman, I think it's his mother but I don't know and I don't feel like asking more. It's better to meet someone who is honest all the way. I just wish he could be a gentleman at least
I never had peace in my Spirit about him and turned out to be a Judas.

Perhaps in the future the scales will fall off and he accepts Christ but I feel I need to focus on my present life and the people God sends me now. I feel my peace and joy return when I don't interact with this person.
He say many nice things but I know he go behind my back so it's an unhealthy connection. And addictions to alcohol etc...

I prayed and now he doesn't check my IG or message me anymore. And I'm happy!

Thanks for sharing the story. That's difficult to deal with but God knows best who we need and who is good for us. It's good she find Jesus is our true Husband, He will never fail us or break our heart! Jesus has to be the center indeed.
