In my past relationships, I have prayed to God to bless it but if He wants to end it I will gladly accept. All the relationships ended. But at some point I was not glad. I was angry most of the time, to myself. I almost hurt myself, but God is good. Actually, God is really in control. He made certain preparations so that I would be able to control myself when the time comes. And I did.
Mom was probably right that someone else out there is praying harder. God is blessing his prayers, while teaching me lessons and, again, making preparations for me to meet him. I still need to grow in faith, serve the Lord and be the right person for him.
I thank God that He is indeed in control, because I can worry less, and eventually I hope that I will learn how to worry no more, for He is in control.
Live the life He entrusted to you. Serve Him with all your heart and you will be happy.
