[__ Prayer __] Please pray for me

I am new to this forum, and I need prayer. I am 47 and have been widowed for a little over a year and a half. About a month ago I met a man online who I started talking to. He is a christian too, and I was very excited to meet someone who thinks the way I do. We clicked really well, and have been talking pretty much every day, and had gotten pretty close, and had planned to meet last week he was going to come to my town. He ended up not being able to come because of work, and I suggested to him that I come visit him. He didn't think he would be able to spend alot of time with me because of his work. So I took it upon myself to go see him and not tell him til I was almost there. He seemed ok with this, and I did get to meet him and spend about 3 hours with him. I did not get to see him again because of his work, but I was ok with that as it wasn't his fault. We had planned to meet halfway tomorrow, and lately I can tell he has been pulling away. He is very cautious, and I'm wondering if I scared him by coming to see him & basically pushing myself on him. Anyway, I do trust him and trust that he is a good guy, and would not just leave me hanging, but I am really having trouble with this emotionally. I miss him so much, and can't stop crying. I am trying to be in my Bible and trust God that if it's His will it will all work out, and I'll be ok, but I feel like my heart is breaking. I have done this before, thinking he wasn't going to call, and panicked, and it all ended up being ok. I'm so worried that I won't talk to him, and know where he stands etc. So I would ask for prayer for peace for me, and for my frame of mind, and that he will contact me so I can have some closure for this or whether we move forward etc. It's so hard for me to even think of God's will in this, as emotionally I feel so much pain and loss right now.

Thanks,
K
 
Hi, Kay, welcome to CFnet :wave You're definitely added to my prayers.

It's quite possible that he was put off by your 'surprise' visit to him when he had said his work wouldn't allow time for him to visit you. Just as women are concerned about stalkers, men question if they are being stalked as well. In addition, men may be initially flattered by a woman who pursues them; in the long run, men prefer to do the pursuing.

Anyway, trust in our Lord's plans for you. And if those plans include this particular gentleman, then all will work out. Continue to read & study our Lord's Word, and remember that you are never alone, for He is always with you.

Blessings!
 
Thank you Air dancer. I have talked to him, and all is ok. I am going to continue to get in the word, and trust God, because I know that He wants my focus on Him. Just need to pray for the obedience of my thoughts. Thanks for the prayers.

Kay

Great idea; you saw him. Worst case scenario: though a gentleman he now views you as a possible "Fatal Attraction. Remember the cliche: "A man chases a woman until she catches him." Hey, you're only forty-seven and you may have three years until no man will ever look at you again.
:thumbsup

Dear Father, please assure Kays65 that You are in control, and are doing that which is in Your perfect will for her all the days of her life. It is You working in us that brings the prosperity to our souls, and the peace we need. As she gets into Your word build her faith to realize that as Romans 8:28 says; All things work together for good to us. Thank You Father and I ask this in Jesus' name. Amen.

Eugene: Hey, I don't think the highlighted part of what you say is accurate; some of us are married to wonderful ladies older than kay...

Me too, but I was joking to get her attention. In other words, don't rush it and wait on the Lord.

Eugene and you're absolutely right about waiting on the Lord, yes.

(Over 50s and 60s do get spikey haircuts / extra ear studs etc., etc., too, you know — only if they want them, of course...)

It's the inward and spiritual that really matters, anyway.

Hi Kays65: Good to see you here again!

So, from our comments, above, no need to worry unduly. :) All in God's time.

Blessings.

YW, kays65: And you might well not feel you need the spikey haircut and extra ear piercings, etc (see above), but ladies more mature than you do manage to pull off doing these things quite successfully, too. But like you say, it's more of a question of continually waiting on the Lord.

Blessings.
 
Yes you are right, and our humanness always gets in the way that's for sure. And no spikey hair and extra piercings for me. Too much maintenance ;)

kays65: This is just great. Fine! :)

PS: Actually when more mature women continually keep getting shorter, tufty haircuts, it's usually precisely because these take less maintenance.

But you know best. Blessings.
 
Yes that is true however, I do hair, and so I probably would be too picky about how it looked, then I would have to use more product, be in the mirror, makin it just right. But you are right. Alot of times it is easy. Ok I admit it, I'm just too chicken. :)

kays65: Oh well, my dear wife keeps shortening hers, and I like to keep my hair shorter than hers is, otherwise mine would kind of go bushy at the sides...

Anyway, what I think you're saying is that you don't have quite the nerve to go for the chop... Well, you must know how much nerve you are capable of, anyway. For those that do go real short and tufty, it seems that the more exposed ears that the short style produces somehow causes the studs to accumulate gradually along the lobes...

Chicken or not, blessings... :)
