[QUOTE=Susan2010;164250]You can't pigeonhole God or make him do your bidding. What if there were a tragic accident? I don't mean God would bring harm to someone just because you make a general request. I'm asking how would you handle something happening to your boyfriend? You'd naturally feel it was your fault because in a round-a-bout way, you wished for it. The best things to request from God are wisdom and guidance in a situation like this.

I guess I should clarify that my prayer request was for separation. Meaning for him to lose interest, for him to find someone else, to have to move away, etc. I have always clearly stated that I want whats best for both of us. But I definitely agree about the discernment and have prayed for that as well but I definitely feel very confused still. Mostly because I feel a great connection to him (although not physical) that I have never found with anyone. How can I be sure my feelings are correct or that its from God if I know I have had problems feeling this way before? I only never cared because I could let go. With him, I feel like I don't want to be away from him. I love him dearly.
