Please pray for me.I was involved with someone who cheated on me and since then I have not been able to fully forgive them.I have been asking God these last weeks to help me because my soul is willing but my physical being is weak.Please also pray for this person as well.

Dear Blessings,

I confess that I'm not sure how to pray. Forgiveness is always good and I can certainly pry that you will be able to forgive. However, your post begs me to ask what you mean by being involved with someone who cheated on you. The details are probably not important, but it would be helpful to know what your relationship was with this person. This would help us to know how to pray and also how to advise.

I am glad that there is a team of intercessors out there.This person was my boyfriend so he was seeing other girls during the time that we were dating.Please continue to pray for me because I cannot face him and this affects my present relationship.I cannot trust men anymore and though I dream of marriage one day,I have some reservations.I am afraid of being heartbroken again and commitment is scary.I think you have heard these requests of such nature a million times before.I believe this is a tool that is used by the Devil to sow seeds of bitterness because emotions are a sensitive area.The daily message today on forgiveness was timely.God is amazing because I have been praying for this for over a month now.

You have begun the process of dating for the purpose of finding someone who you would want to marry. Here is something to consider. Paul writes this command to husbands:

Ephesians 5:25
"Husbands, love your wives just as Christ loved the church and gave Himself for her."

Therefore, when you are in a dating relationship, you should be asking yourself if this person can love you as Christ loved the Church. If he cannot then you should not consider getting married and should not continue dating. Someone who will love you as Christ loved the Church will be one who will desire a pure relationship. The fact that your boyfriend cheated on you is an indication he was not ready to love you in this manner. Perhaps it is best that you found this out now and not further down the road. Perhaps God is allowing you an opportunity to better understand the concept of a Godly, Christ-centered relationship.

These lessons are painful, but I'm confident that a short time from now you will actually be thankful for what God has revealed. Trust Him in ALL things!
