Hi, keep up the good work. I was dating a man for over four years and all he did was lie to me. When he got locked up, I was there for him and prayed for God to change him. I have always been faithful to him, no matter what. He, however, has cheated on me on more than one occasion. I forgave him.

He lives in Canada and I live in England. I recently got baptised and am ready to serve the Lord. I truly love this guy. He is not a Christian and I pray for God to change his behaviour. He continues to lie, swear and cause mischief. Once he stabbed a guy nearly to death. He placed me through a lot of stress. I even went and looked for him and spent all my money. He has called me nasty names for no reason.

Now I am more focused on the Lord and my education, but I don't know what to do.

Dear S.W.,

How can you not see that you are wasting your time with this man? He is a bad man. Both of you are not compatible. You are now a Christian and he is not. He is disrespectful to you and he is untrustworthy. He will always get himself into trouble and expect you to come to his rescue. You are going to need the money that you have wasted on this man. End the relationship with him now. The Lord will provide you with a good man. Put everything in God's hand and He will answer your prayers in his own time.
