Bride's Prayer: Maybe We Should Break Up

It has always been my general feeling that if you ever ask this question that maybe getting married isn't a good idea. However, every relationship is different and the experience and memories had between two people who are engaged clearly have something serious going on. It is it meant to be? Maybe, maybe not.

That fear can be from past relationships, from past events that have left you scarred, or from just plain fear and worry. Your question of breaking up can be a legitimate concern to address or it can be cold feet. Either way, it can't hurt to turn to God.

Pray to God about what is in your heart. Now here is the hard part. He wouldn't bluntly tell you but He will tell you. You have to be still. Just listen. In this busy life full of intrusions from technology, that is the hardest thing but it is the only way to get that guidance you need.

Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him. . . Psalm 37:7
It is the hardest thing to wait, but you can't make a drastic decision in life without the patience to wait on the Lord.

Again he appoints a certain day, “Today,” saying through David so long afterward, in the words already quoted, “Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts.” Hebrews 4:7

You have to be willing to listen and act on what you have heard. I always tell myself that I will not doubt but rather I will walk through the doors God opens and accept the doors God closes. Even if I do not understand. 

Whoever is of God hears the words of God. The reason why you do not hear them is that you are not of God.” - John 8:47
Allow your heart to be of God so that you can hear his words. God speaks to us in many ways. Making the decision to end your engagement and every major life changing decision in life is best made with the guidance of God.

The Prayer:

God, I sit here weighing the pros and cons of what I should do in my relationship when it should be You and not a list that guides me. Help me to be still and open my heart to You so that I am able to really hear You. The decision to get married or not is a big one and I cannot do it without You.
