Relationship problems/ Under Attack!

[Anniyas]

Right well i'm looking for some advice. My Partner and I are going through a difficult time. He is not as close to God as he once was, and i feel this may be clouding his judgement.

I have asked my friends to pray, as has my Partner. However, both of us are getting different answers.

I, and the people i have asked, are being told that we are meant to be together only not in our present situation or maybe even "not yet".

My partner isn't too sure what he is beig told, but he's being fairly negative about it. There ar however big things on the way for my partner and i know that satan will try all he can to get in the way.

I dont know how i feel anymore, i'm really confused. Am i picking up the wrong message? Is my partner picking up the wrong message?

I dont know what to do anymore!

I'm sorry you are going through a difficult time. Based on the little information you have shared it's almost impossible to give any advice, other than pray and seek God.

I would be wary of asking advice from many people, ultimately it's not what your friends think God may or may not be saying, it's about what YOU think God is saying.

When I have been in similar situations I have confided in a trusted leader for prayer and advice and then committed to getting up early each day to seek God, sometimes accompanied by a fast, until I get an answer and have peace about it.

I don't really understand exactly what the problem is... there's never anything that can't be solved with prayer to God and making requests for him to show you what you need to see.

Well basically the problem is i have turned to an elder that i turst who has given me there opinion after praying timley....which is the complete opposite from the elder that my partner had seeked advice from.

i think my partner isn't too clear on what he is being told, but he has been persuade becuase he has been told by someone else that we are not meant to be togther.

However i have been told and so has the elder that we are meant to be together.

I dont understand what is happening...am confuzzeled

I don't think that you should be asking other people if they believe God wants you together, you have used the word 'opinion' about the elder you spoke to, that is always going to be the problem.

To be honest if your boyfriend is confused as someone else thinks you should not be together it sounds like he is not mature enough to even be in a relationship. Being in an adult relationship means that you seek God for your own answers and are not swayed by other opinions.

How long have you been together? Does the relationship have marriage potential? Is that what you are working towards in your relationship? because if not then you shouldn't be in it.

i was told the other day that everyone has the answers to lifes normal issues inside themselves. and honestly, this is one of them... god's given us a conscience and a brain... sometimes we just have to use it.

the thing is you will always have relationship problems sooner or later. YOU need to figure out how bad this situation really is. Remember, sometimes people are not close to God 24/7/365 and need time, patience, and love from their partner to get back to that. Don't give up and run from him, pray for him and encourage him.
