Dear Lady. Ann:
Please keep anonymous.
I read this post the other day that said “the devil doesn’t come dressed in a red cape and pointy horns but comes as everything you’ve ever wished for” and I believe I have fallen for this. This past summer in a series of random events I ran into this old friend of mine in a different state. We have always felt something with each other however nothing ever happened, except for when it took us running into each other as a “sign” and both believed it was “meant to be”. The problem is he was in a relationship and I selfishly believed him when he said it was over between them and that he wanted to be with me. So, knowing this I continued to talk to him for months.
We talked about everything including a future for us and us being together. I truly believed this was my happy ending, but I was wrong. He stopped talking to me and eventually said we were not compatible and that he was working on his current relationship, leaving me confused and broken and unsure of where to go from here? I’ve prayed, asked for forgiveness from God and to myself, fasted, and I still think about it everyday. How could I be so deceived in believing he was the one for me? I truly thought he was and now I worry I can’t hear God’s voice and that I’m just going to keep falling for the enemies tricks. How do I hear from God? How do I not fall for the enemies tricks? How do I do better? Please pray for me.
