Please pray for me, I've been dating a man for about 3 months now, and this "relationship" had come about after giving myself a 4 yr break from dating, or anything dealing with men. I have dealt with so much lying, cheating, verbal abuse, etc prior, and needed just stop, and find myself again after so much heartache, I didn't expect how enjoyable my new found freedom turned out, no arguing, no worrying, just nothing but peace, which was something I had never let myself have being I always felt I needed a man in my life...... but without one I was thriving, smiling, enjoying new hobbies, and just being able to think thru all I've been thru in life, and learning lessons from my past to the point that I won't allow anyone to treat me like dirt. December 2014, I suddenly was longing for someone in my life, like I was ready to have a partner again, but with my new found "strength" whoever I may run into and be interested in, I would end a relationship with the 1st lie they told, 1st cheating, 1st verbal/physical abuse, because once someone does one of these acts, it's a fact they will do it again, and again. I met a lot of ppl, but nobody I felt worthy of me until 3 months ago. This man was so wonderful for the 1st week and in my mind I was thinking "finally someone who is being good to me", so I got a taste of being wanted, being cared about, etc... He got laid off work, and everything went out the window, I now was meeting "the real" guy he really is, and he's not a pleasant person... he lies so much that he can't even keep his "stories" straight, and if I correct him all hell breaks loose, and it's all my fault (I know that it is not my fault) we still have good times, but the "bad" outweighs the "good", and even though I know nothing will change him, and I should move on, there is something about him I am hooked on, maybe it's because I once witnessed he was kind & caring and if I wait till he gets back on his feet with work, etc that nice guy will come back, but I'm just fooling myself.... I ask for prayers that I can "accept" he is all wrong for me, he will never change, and for me not to waste my time, as if I need someone to slap me in the face to wake me back into the strong woman I became.... I'm sorry if this has dragged, if I'm all over the place, I'm writing from my thoughts at the moment, but I hope it makes sense...I just want my strength and courage back to let go of this guy, I'm doing the best I can, but I need prayers to help me thru.....

God Bless & Thank you
