Offering Prayer

[SH_]

Was thinking about the "standing still" part of the message. Wanted to check with you guys on your thoughts about when we talk to God and ask for him to speak to us on something.

I know he is listening but do we not hear the answer/see sign bc it is not time to receive yet? Do you think some techniques we implement, God may not want us to do towards spouse (detaching)?

I hope you don't mind me weighing in on this question Jzmill.

If I understand your question you are asking if detaching is a technique that God may not want us to implement?

Please read this from cadets homework to all of us before proceeding with my musings below.

IMHO, detaching is very important in the teaching of the Bible. God loves us unconditionally, yet is detached from each of us.

John 3:16 For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that everyone who believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.
17For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through Him.

God sent his son to us and let him be crucified so that we could be saved. Yet, he allows us the freedom to make our own choice.

I perceive that so many LBS in this community do not understand what detachment is. The homework cadet shares explains it very clearly. Yet many still think it means just giving up and not loving their S.
Why is this?

Maybe it is the definition of the word that confuses many here.
To disengage. It has many other meanings and many seem to indicate not connecting with another.
I can see that.
But then I challenge that everyone review cadets homework and Google livestrong detachment.
This will explain that healthy relationships require detachment.
It allows for 2 individuals to function as complete persons and then in turn they can better support each other.
One might argue that many of us are in the situations we are in due to unhealthy emotional attachments.

So my challenge is to look at this info as what is needed more so than the word itself.

So, my conclusion and IMHO are that biblical teachings are such that detachment is not only good, but a requirement to follow Gods teachings and words.
Also healthy habits for detachment are paramount for LBS as well as for individuals in healthy relationships.

And my friend bigy knows that I am hardcore when it comes to preaching detachment and working on it myself as I know it will help us not only in our current situations, but with future relationships as well.

Just my 2c.
