Was it a lack of faith? If you prayed in a more biblical way, would God have given you that relationship? And if God knew you would not end up with this person, why did he let you fall in love with them to begin with?
God doesn’t want you to be lonely. However, God wastes nothing. Even though God wants you to be satisfied in him, in a healthy community, and thriving in a godly relationship (if that’s his will), there’s often a process God will put you through rather than just magically ending your loneliness.
No matter what, you are all in with life. You can’t stop the clock. There’s no pause button. Every day, you are spending the resources God has given you. Whether you are sitting alone on your coach, traveling the world with a group of friends, or you are serving those in need, God will judge you on how you are spending the life he has given you.
There’s always a purpose for everything God has you going through. Even when you wish you were in a great relationship right now but you are alone, God has an important reason for this.
If you really like someone that you can’t be with right now, it’s natural to pray, “Lord, if you don’t want me with this person, please take away my feelings for them.”
Do you feel like you need to emotionally detach from someone but you are finding it difficult to actually let them go? There’s a very important biblical principle that can really help you. But this principle is multifaceted, meaning it can be applied in many different ways.
By the term “Going no contact” I’m talking about the practice of a man or woman completing cutting someone out of their life for a period of time, not reaching out to them and not responding if the other person reaches out.
The biblical advice to “be still” is not to be over applied to every situation. There are just as many Bible verses telling us to be active, to do good works, and stop waiting and get moving (Ephesians 2:10, James 2:17, 1 Corinthians 15:10).
I’ve talked a lot about how to know “when” God is telling you to move on from someone, but I haven’t talked as much about “how” to actually do this.
Here are 5 things that happen right before God gives you the solution to your issue.
