How can you tell if God is protecting you from a bad relationship? What signs will be present if God is actually sparing you pain by not allowing a relationship to progress forward in your life?
Here are 4 signs God is protecting you from a bad relationship.
In one of my recent videos called 3 Signs God Is Keeping You Single, one of the points I made there was that God will often keep people single if they are too immature to handle a godly relationship. As Matthew 7:11 states, God only gives “good gifts” to his children.
One question this raised in the minds of many was, “Well why are there so many immature people who are married then? If God keeps some people single because they are not prepared for marriage, what about all the people who are married even though they are not living for God?”
Is God keeping you single? Is God closing relationship doors in your life right now or are you single because of your own actions?
Why doesn’t God talk to me? This is one of the most important questions you can ask if you feel like God is not speaking to you.
What should you do when you are confused about what to do in life? How can you know the will of God for your life in specific situations? And what steps should you take when you need to make a decision but you are not sure what God wants you to do?
God speaks to us in at least three primary ways: Through his word, through the Holy Spirit, and through our life circumstances. Most Christians know at least a little about hearing the voice of God by studying the Bible and by listening to the Holy Spirit in prayer. The circumstances of our lives, however, is often a way God speaks that many Christians do not know as much about.
If you’ve ever asked for dating advice on how to find a spouse from well-intentioned Christians and pastors, there’s a high probability you’ve received some version of this common Christian dating advice, “If you really want to be married, you have to put God first. If you truly love God, he will take care of the rest.”
So are you actually single because you don’t love God enough? If you loved God more, would you be married by now? Is your love for God actually the root reason for your prolonged season of unwanted singleness?
How will God fulfill the promises he has made to you? While it is absolutely biblical that God will fulfill his promises to you through his power and through your faith in him, what is often overlooked is that God will also fulfill his promises to you in very practical ways as well.
