I am in agony

by Ella Marandola on 25th Jan 2010 | View all blogs by Ella Marandola
All I can do is ask for prayer.
My friendship has broken down through lack of respect. I miss my friend Paul every day... but I feel like for the sake of my self respect, and our friendship--- I must wait to hear from him. It has been nearly a month. I've started a Daniel fast last Tuesday for it. I've been praying I would hear from him before Feb 1st... and I felt like God told me I would and to wait... but I lack faith.. I'm afraid it was my own wishful thoughts. If I could contact him in good conscience I would... but I feel I must wait for him to make the move... and the waiting is very trying. It breaks my heart each day. My friend suffers from depression and not taking responsibility in any area of his life really... I hate to see him stuck in this cycle. And I long for my friend.

    Of course I will pray for you. I don't know the intricacies of your particular situation but please remember that everyday your heart breaks God is working on your friend. You should always remember to regard him as a friend. I'm hoping your friend is a believer and that the Spirit of God is in him because he will feel your anguish. Eventually. Continue to pray and fast and rely on the Father to repair the brokenness in both of your lives.

    I will say this is closing. Please be very certain that your self respect isn't a distorted reflection of pride. I've allowed that very instance to take control of my life and I missed 3 years of a wonderful friendship. That friendship has been reconciled and we're now getting married.

    I don't assume you and your friend will marry... as I said I don't know the details but I mentioned it to praise God and His wonder power of reconciliation.

    Be blessed.
