More likely your prayer life changes as you grow and your prayers line up with God's will. And he is concerned with things other than spirit...if you note in my post I said spiritual and other things. But his primary concern is getting us to conform our character to that of Christ. Just keep growing Mel...you will get there...we all do...and we all started out in a similar place. :-) |

| Understood... but if my prayers and desires DO somehow line up with God's Will, spiritual or not, well, that's because God had made it happen. |

Sorry Mel am not accepting an invitation to your pity party. Life is tough and neither you or I get to decide what it "should be". Being a Christian requires that we live by different rules than the world. Stand on your prayers...they are yours and you should...just be respectful to God whatever he decides and learn to accept his will. |

| *sigh*... I just do not know what is there anymore... for me at least. I already accepted the reality of life... It's not what it should be... Nor I don't even think God will ever give me the desires of my heart if they aren't spiritual... I guess THAT only leaves to see if God will ever accept me into Heaven shall I die tonight if tomorrow never comes... After all life isn't promising even for a young, healthy 19 year old girl like me. Whether the desires are spiritual or physical (and the physical ones even come to pass in others' favor, believe it or not...), I will still stand on those prayers... and that is a true statement. |

Mel...when he says delight in the Lord...he means in spiritual things...desires of our hearts includes those things that are important to us both spiritually and otherwise. You don't pray for those things. And you are not being honest when you say you are delighting your self in God...that means...whatever he chooses you agree and follow...you long for things spiritual and follow his unction and direction. Your prayer life and your response to your prayers not being answered show that this is not a true statement. You get angry at him...and that is NOT delighting in God. Mel...God works through people who truly know him...he uses our experiences in walking with him to teach us for one reason only...to share that others might grow. This is why the word says that older women are to teach the younger. The fact that YOU respond as YOU do says you are not ready for marriage...marriage is not an experience fraught with joy. There are some happy times...but marriage is full of trial and disappointment...you can't handle waiting for 5 months for something...how would you handle waiting for 5 years for a positive change in marriage? Mel...I read closely what your post said when you last spoke to your ex...did you really listen to what he told you? He doesn't want to be involved with your emotions...you said in your post that he said that the emotional involvement was why he left. He doesn't like that part of relating to you...Woman are very emotional...and men that cannot handle that are not equipped for marriage either. But at the same time...the way you rant and rave in some of your posts...says that you do not exercise great self control periodically...especially when angry. Did you know that God's word says "It is better to live in a corner of a roof Than in a house shared with a contentious woman." Proverbs 21:9 Men will not deal with that...nor is that what God says a wife should be. Tears and such histronics do not move them...as a matter of fact they are very frightened and put off by that. A man wants a strong woman...one of substance and character...he does not want to deal with the temper tantrums of a child nor a demanding shrew that is always going on and on about what they want. Mel...you cannot afford to house yourself...or support your self or pay the $50.00 for a kitten to live with you...but you think you are ready to be married? Have you any idea what the average APARTMENT costs in Japan? Try about $3500.00 USD for one bedroom. You do not have the life experience yet to be anything but what you are...19 years old and trying to figure it out. Do you read the newspapers? The economy has actually worsened in the last 3 months in our country and the rest of the world is even worse off...Mel...stop trying to find loopholes to prove points that are simply ridiculous. Your mother and the patch had nothing to do with your contentment. It has nothing to do with you!!!!! You are simply not equipped to deal with the responsibility of marriage yet. I beg to differ with you... most 19 year olds who will have careers are still in college and many have not even declared majors yet. I taught at a major university for a good while before going into Corporate America and have spent the last 30 years developing young people... A career is more than a job Mel...most 19 years are not married...did you know that the average age for marriage in the US is now in late 20s for women? Why because to work today in truly outstanding paying careers requires a masters degree. Bachelor degrees are like HS diplomas 20 years ago. If you read Revelations you know that yes we will live under the rule of Jesus for 1000 years...and then then Satan will be released for a short time...to allow him to tempt those that are not in their eternal bodies as of yet...and yes he will do some ugly things with those that are not rooted in God. However then God the Father puts a stop to it forever...at the final judgment those that are God's will watch as the enemy and his minions are thrown into the pit of fire forever and thereafter God creates a new heaven and new earth formed in perfection without the evil that has existed. Mel..you have not surrendered, but I do not doubt that you will. You are forgiven...and one more time THE AMOUNT OF YOUR FAITH HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH YOUR PRAYERS BEING ANSWERED. FAITH IS ONLY NECESSARY FOR BELIEVING IN GOD and believing in his word. GOD ANSWERS PRAYER BASED UPON HIS WILL AND HIS MERCY AND NOTHING ELSE! You need to understand that God will keep his promises...but he may not answer your prayers the way you wish no matter how long you wait. For example...he may send you love in someone that respects you, provides for you, protects you, that attracts you physically...which you can accept or reject...but it may not be in the young man you are currently hoping for...if you choose to remain alone God won't care...that is your choice...but if he thinks that the person you are focused on is wrong for you or you for him...it won't happen. So he keeps his promises but he will not allow what you want to override what is best in his sight. I think Mel...that you are a wonderful girl...but you are still very much a girl emotionally and in your walk with the Lord...give yourself time to grow and get on with life. I pray sincerely that you will accept the reality of life and allow yourself to enjoy it as much as you can...in the moment and in the now. Tomorrow will come when it comes and bring what it brings both joy and sorrow. Be blessed in the Lord. |
