DEAR PASTOR,
I am 26 years old and I have found myself in a situation that I want to rid myself of, but I find it really hard to do so. I met a lady where I work.
She is a 31-year-old married woman. She has been away from her husband for about two months and we have become intimate. This woman is so good to me. We talk about any and everything. We have developed a friendship which is so much stronger than just being intimate. For some strange reason, we seem to be connecting on a much higher level. She understands me and I understand her.
Her husband is now here and I want to stop seeing her, but I don't know how.
I can't tell her to just go away as we share more than sex. I don't feel like I can do this anymore, yet I don't want to lose her friendship. I think I need a divine intervention to let me know what to do.
Please give me your advice on how you think I should proceed with the situation.

Dear K.F.,
You need to exercise common sense. You are not only going to get yourself into trouble, but you will also get the lady into trouble. Don't you see trouble before you? And if you feel that you need a divine intervention to stop you from going with this woman, pray and ask God to give you the strength to do so.
To know sir, to tell you the truth, many people do crazy things and then talk about wanting God to do a miracle for them to stop. You should not try to use God that way.
Stop going to the woman's yard; don't go out with her; don't encourage her to come to your yard and tell her that she should stick with her husband.
You seem to be the problem, because you don't want to let go. Don't be foolish. Do what is right.
Pastor.
