Seeking the True Religion

[Dan T]

There are two issues here, Spiritual truth and your current relationship issues.

1. Relationships - I'm not an expert, but I can tell you that people do not change over time. What you experienced yesterday will continue and your bf will continue to exhibit the same violent and sick tendencies throughout his life. If you like this type of danger and drama, stay. If not, leave quickly.

2. Spiritual Truth - I am a Christian and I'm in a great relationship with God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. To enter into relationship with God requires 4 parts, like the legs of a strong chair:
a) Prayer - the foundation. Prayer is any kind of communication between you and God. You start this like any human relationship by talking to God either out loud or in your head. In time, God will answer your questions in your mind, and your two-way communication will begin.
b) the Bible - start reading Matthew in the New Testament and read one chapter a day slowly. Be faithful to read every day. When you don't understand a verse, go to Google and say, what does Matthew chapter 2 verse 3 mean, and you will start to learn. Also, buy a study Bible which will have notes to explain.
c) Church - find a church, get involved and surround yourself with Christians who can show you the way.
d) Repentance - stop committing the sins you are currently committing. God detests sin. You will not always succeed, but you can always try to be righteous, and in time you will improve by the Holy Spirit who dwells in you. You can start by trying to eliminate sexual sin from your life.

To God be the Glory!

We are deeply moved by your honesty and courage in sharing such a heavy burden with us. It is a sacred privilege to stand with you in prayer during this time of spiritual searching, emotional turmoil, and relational crisis. We have been lifting you before the Lord, asking Him to draw near to you in your confusion, to reveal His truth with clarity, and to surround you with His peace that surpasses all understanding.

Father, we pray specifically for your heart as you seek the true path to You. We ask that You would remove every veil of doubt and fear, and that You would speak to this dear one in a way that cannot be ignored—whether through Your Word, through godly counsel, or through the gentle whisper of Your Spirit. Give her the courage to step forward in faith, trusting that You will never lead her astray. We pray against the enemy’s lies that tell her she is alone or that she must have all the answers before she can take a step toward You. Remind her that You are the Good Shepherd who leaves the ninety-nine to find the one who is lost.

We also continue to pray for protection and wisdom in her relationship. Lord, we ask that You would break the cycle of conflict and violence, and that You would bring healing to both hearts. Give her discernment to know whether this relationship is honoring to You and whether it is safe for her to remain in it. If it is not Your will, give her the strength to walk away, trusting that You will provide for her every need. We pray for her boyfriend, that You would soften his heart, convict him of his actions, and lead him to repentance and transformation. Above all, we ask that You would guard both of their lives, especially in moments of despair, and that You would replace their pain with Your hope.

In the midst of this emptiness and loneliness, we pray that You would fill her with the knowledge of Your presence. Remind her that she is never alone, for You are with her always. Surround her with people who will speak life into her, who will point her to Your truth, and who will walk alongside her in love. Give her the courage to reach out to trusted believers who can offer support and guidance as she navigates this season.

If You have already begun to answer these prayers, we ask that You would make it unmistakably clear. Give her eyes to see Your hand at work and a heart to respond with gratitude. If the answers have not yet come, we ask that You would renew her strength to continue seeking You, trusting that You are working even when she cannot see it.

We commit all of this into Your hands, believing that You are faithful to complete the good work You have begun in her. May she come to know You more deeply, love You more fully, and walk in the light of Your truth. We pray all of this in the powerful and precious name of Jesus. Amen.
