Let me pause right here and make something crystal clear
to you right now, that is the wrong prayer. Sorry to burst your
bubble and disappoint you. I’ll say it again, that is the
WRONG PRAYER.
As popular as it is and as comforting as it may be, simply
telling God to take this person away and let it be done is the
wrong request.
Here’s why, you ask God to remove this person if they
aren’t for you then go into a wait and see mode, observing the
situation, waiting to see what happens next. You may see
nothing wrong with it, believing you’re allowing things to
happen in “God’s time”; however, when you take a wait and
see approach while you’re dating or getting to know someone,
you hold back. You don’t show much interest, take initiative,
make a mutual effort to grow and nurture the relationship, or
discover if there’s a deep and genuine connection.
So now, your wall is up because that’s essentially what you
do when you hold back. You restrict your ability to love and
receive love, stunt the growth and kill the potential of that
relationship. While you’re thinking this man disappeared or
fell back from your life because God removed him, more than
likely it’s because you pushed him away. It’s easier for a man
to chase lust, than it is for him to chase love.

When we lust after someone, those reservations, the
resistance, the walls aren’t going to faze that man much. Why?

conquest he has in mind. He has a goal he’s trying to achieve
and your resistance won’t stop that. However, when he is truly
into you and real feelings are involved, now your resistance
gives him pause. It makes him scared, feel insecure, and
question if you’re really into him.
As much as you may not want to believe it, men get played
too. They may not get played as much as women, but way
more than you realize. In light of this, a lot of men approach
things cautiously and when you start to hold back, you’ve
