Waiting for the Lord/Finding a good thing
I’ve been dealing with the pain of rejection recently. I met a woman who has all the godly qualities that I’d love to have in a wife, and she’s single: but she likes someone else. Of course, I had to put aside any hopes of us potentially being together once i knew but: I’ve been dealing with it pretty rough, although this time was better because she still wants to be in my life as a friend but i don’t know how to feel about it if she does end up perusing this other person.
Just in general, I’ve faced a lot of rejection this year.. and I’ve dealt with it in the wrong way knowingly, and ended up running away from God. I did pray and I came back but still, I feel distance at times when I come to God and then struggling with prioritizing finding a relationship and not putting enough care into the things that matter. I know I should focus more on building myself up in character and in repentance and trusting, but it’s hard to at times. Even more so when it seems everyone around you has it figured out, and everyone is entering into marriages and relationships this young. What can I do?
