need a little prayer

[Unclezege]

Hey everyone,
I dont post very much but I hit this forum just about everyday so I know how close everyone is here and what miracles have come from prayer.
My girlfriend and I recently broke up after 16 months of being together. Shes going through a lot of hard times right now. Rough childhood, brother almost died in a crash recently, depressed all of the time, and she started using some pills to help her get through the day. I understand where she is coming from but it worries me to death. We broke up because she needs to sort some things out with herself. The hardest part is she doesnt believe in God, but I'm a strong believer. Sometimes I think it would never work between us, but I love her so much and I want it to work. I feel like I try and pray so hard but nothing happens. I want God's will to be done, but this is the first time Ive ever gone through anything like this. So if you could pray for her and I that would be great. Have any others here had any experiences with dating someone with different beliefs?

I certainly am sorry for your emotional troubles and the difficult time your girlfriend is experiencing..This is an excellent time for you both to sort out a lot of issues. She seems to be in need of a different perspective concerning her overall belief system, and perspective on troubles in this life. You seem to need to evaluate the risk involved in being intimate with someone who doesn't share your faith. Scripture tells us not to be unequally yoked. The picture is of 2 oxen in one yoke, but going or trying to go in 2 separate directions. It only causes strife and struggles. You love her, and that is great. She wants a 'time out' to sort through her conflicts. Maybe the Lord is sendinga caution light in your life, giving you an oppurtunity to take a closer look at the long term implications of your relationship. He has better plans for us sometimes than we have for ourselves, and what seems to be , and often is painful, is actually the best thing for us. Surgery is painful, but the removal of a life threatening or debilitating growth, is uncomfortable and can be scary, but,in the long run may save your life. Be completely open to Him, submitting to His will,and He will make it plain to you what you should do. His word is the startingpoint, and it is clear that His will is not to become 'yoked' with someone who doesn't share your faith. This might be more than you wanted or you may take it as stepping over bounds, but I only speak this freely out of compassion, not being judgemental. It is your decision, not mine, but it is my responsibility to be truthful.

I pray that first and formost, you can be the witness she needs to see for God to show His love to her. I also pray that God will work His will out in your lives together and He give both of you a peace.
