My heart is heavy

I need your prayers right now, my heart is so heavy. The Lord has asked me to do something that I am having a hard time with. On Sunday I was praying and the Lord spoke to me and told me to let one of my girlfriends go. I immediately began to cry because I thought this was the friend that I had prayed manyyears for. I always ask the Lord to send me frinds who love him, friends who I canpray with, and frinds just to hang out with. I thought she was the answer to my prayer. We have been praying togerther every morning together for the past month and I have really enjoyed the fellowship. So when the Lord said let her go, it has really hurt me to my core. I just wants friends in mylife who love the Lord and who are serious abotu their walk with the Lord and like I said I thought she was the answer to my prayer. It is apparent to me that if God is telling me to do this, then he knows what the end result of a frienship withher would be. He knows the future not me. I was talking to a church member about it and had not told her anything abotu this girl and she told me that she was in prayer a few weeks ago and God showed her that this girl is not true and that she needs deliverance and thatI needed to let her go. My church memebr did not share this with me until I told her whatteh Lord had told me to do. It was confirmation for me that it was the Lord and not me. Evenwith all that said, it still hurts to have to walk away from someone that I hoped and prayed would be a true friend. Please keep me lifted in your prayers.

Hello, I truly understand what your going thourgh.If you have prayed and asked God to reveal that this truly His will then you have to listen and let it go.It's hard and it hurts but God has to remove people and things out of our way so that we can stay focused on him. Don't stop praying for her and I'll pray that you find peace with this. God Bless Akilah

It is best to be obedient to the Lord. I have no idea why He would ask this of you, but perhaps it is just for a season so that either you or your friend can grow in the direction He has planned. Praying for wisdom and comfort. Blessings, Jill

Honestly Jill I think she has some unconfessed sin and is battling some demons from her past that if I continue this friendship are in danger of being taken down with her.

God knows the end of the story, and His ways are best, even though they don't make sense to us as we are letting go. Hugs, Trish

Huge Hugs to you- I wish I could be there to hug you in person. It is so hard sometimes to do what God tells us to do. We must and we know that but in the flesh we get lonely, we have all kinds of reasons, but He does know what is best. I know that does not make it easier. I myself just came back to God 2 years ago -really he plucked me out of a life of sin and shook me thats the only way to describe it. I have been trying so hard to surrender and let Him rule ever area of my life. Because of the life I was leading I had to give up all of my friends from that time. My husband does not even go to church or really try to pretend he believes in God. I get so lonely sometimes. I too long for that female prayer partner.I believe God will save my husband and we will go to a church where people are closer than the one I attend, but it is hard waiting. The good news is that God does know everything and He has someone even better for you coming because he always leads us from Glory to Glory. I will lift you up in my prayers. I hope you feel better soon and remember that "weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning." hugs-Amy
