New Boyfriend/realtionship

[inhisgrace]

I have begun dating a guy who for the first time in two years is someone I actually really like.  Two years ago, I ended a long term relationship with my boyfriend of two years and good friend for a three years.  It ended due to deception on his part and him starting to see someone else at the advice of his friends and family while we were together.  This happened towards the end of the relationship which I ended after finding this out.  I have completed moved on from him and have healed by God since I did love him.  I have begun dating this new guy as of a month now.  I feel like my time has come to reopen my life again to find the guy I am supposed to be with according to His ways.  A lot of my friends have gotten married and before, I thought they were crazy for marrying right away.  Now with time past, when I look at the pictures, I realize part of my heart's desire is to find that companion, in my life who is my best friend and someone I am in love with who loves me back.

This new boyfriend is an entirely different guy than I have dated in the past.  He isn't my typical type-blonde hair and blue eyes, athlete and strong man.   I usually have dated brown hair brown eyed, artsy type of guys.  It just so happens, this new guy happens to be a nerd as well which is something I like since I am a little bit of a nerd myself.  We have a lot to talk about and I can see myself with this person in the future.  I know it is the early stages and I have been getting to know this person slowly, but I do believe that this particular guy came into my life for a reason, either to be my boyfriend/eventual husband or lead me to him. 

I pray for God's help in this relationship that it is protected and that a true relationship takes place, not one of lies like in my past.  I pray that He helps us get to know each other over time in His timing.  I pray for him and I pray for myself to be open to the relationship and not let him pay for another man's childishness.  I pray for a solid foundation with my new boyfriend and for it to be a good relationship with support in good and bad times through the grace of God.  I pray God leads me to my husband whether it be this person who I feel like I have already known for a while and is a good companion or that God leads me to my husband though my new boyfriend.

I always felt that the guy would come when I have done the work myself.  I have been working on myself for the last couple years and have really been going after my career for the last year.  I recently moved for a job through the grace of God where it is a promotion when my other job was going in the wrong direction-it went from a great job to one where I felt unhappy and unlike myself.  That is when I started to interview and found the job I am currently working at which I am very happy at.  God led me here and within a two weeks, this guy appeared into my life and it is a great dating experience.  All of our dates are centered around an activity like hiking or going somewhere like to the fair and talking, getting to know each other.  We both have feelings for each other but have been trying to have a more balanced relationship.  My mom even mentioned to me when I moved that she felt I would meet a guy very strongly...she doesn't mention these things to me as often which was odd.  I also pray for God's hand over my job and career to have a strong foundation since God has lifted me out of the ashes and brought passion back into my job and career and a new start with a new relationship as well.  Everything is naturally falling into place through the help and grace of God.

In Jesus name Amen

Our God of peace, you have taught us that in returning and rest we shall be saved, in quietness and in confidence shall be our strength: By the might of your Spirit answer this request, we pray of you, so we may be still and know that you are God; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

1 Peter 5:7

Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you. Pour your heart out to the Father in Jesus name. HE HEARS YOU. My wife and I have prayed for your request in Jesus name.

Holy God and loving Father, I consciously place my fears, worries, anxieties, and burdens in your hands. I know that I have so little power to change the outcome of these events and I trust that you will work what is pleasing to you, and best for me, out of these situations. Forgive me for my anxious thoughts and for letting my own worry become an idol that robs you of my full trust. Strengthen and empower me to trust you more by the power and presence of your Spirit. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen
