There was a time I was distraught over a relationship I found myself in. I was being treated in a way that I would have never treated the other person. I found myself stuck in this place that I didn’t feel valued. I was emotionally bankrupt, and if I am honest the relationship was rather physiologically and emotionally and sometimes physically abusive.
As I was praying about what to do about this situation, it is as if the Lord whispered to my troubled heart to be still and know that I am God. He literally wanted me to stop and do nothing and just trust that he had it all under control.
I admit its not how I normally would have handled things. At this time, I would have handled it by worrying myself to death, trying to get the guy to come see me even though he was probably with another girl, and doing things that further sent me into a spiral that would keep me there.
For a long time, I had a hard time just being still and allowing God to work because, to be honest, I needed a lot of work done in me.
I needed to come to my father and spend enough time with him to be restored into someone who could receive and give love the way Jesus does. I needed to sit at his feet and get instructions for my life from him and no one else. I needed him to bring the right one instead of finding the wrong ones.
So today if you are worried over your love life, you don’t know if the relationship you are in is going to work out and you are trying trying trying. Or if you are not at peace and rest, please just take some time out and be still with him allowing him to transport peace into your troubled heart that God is in it through the highs and the lows and at the end of it all you will see the beautiful masterpiece that only he could have put together.
And even if that masterpiece isn’t what you would have originally planned, it will be the best one for you.
How to Be still you may ask? Try this:
Trust that he somehow has this all worked out:
Even though you can’t see how your love life will work out, believe that as you allow him into your life that he is going to make sure that things work out as they should.
Spend special time with him allowing him to help you:
Spend time not with your boo but with God about this area of your life. Allow him in and let him know that he is a valuable part of your decision process. Allow him to break you up or put you together with who he chooses.
Have an Open Mind:
Don’t get so fixated on what you want but have an open heart to what God may be showing you. He knows us better than we know ourselves and who he brings could look a little different than what we may think. Also, have an open mind about how God is going to work out your situation.
