Here's the deal. Ive been dating this wonderful girl for the past 3+ months. I know in my heart that we are meant to be together, I know God has blessed both of us through this relationship. She is an amazing girl and I trust her completely. God has given me peace with this relationship, more peace than anything I have ever felt before. We study the bible together, go to church together, worship together, everything. I have never loved someone, aside from God, more than I love this girl. She means the world to me. I make it a point to maintain purity in the relationship and to keep both of our focus on God.
The other day, and this was completely random, I started getting thoughts put into my head. Things like "shes not really in love with you" or "shes probably flirting with other guys". I started getting freaked out because I know that these things arent true, I know shes faithful and I know she loves me. I was scared because I dont want these thoughts running through my head. I have NO doubts about our relationship. I know that God has put us together and that I want to marry this girl. (These attacks came right after visiting her for a few days [we live a few hours away] and I gave her a promise ring as a symbol of my devotion and intent with the relationship). So I know that these are demonic attacks because God is the God of peace not of doubt or fear.
I think I made a mistake however because I told her about it and I think I scared her. I think she thinks that I now have doubts about the relationship (which her last relationship was a failed engangement because "he" kept having doubts) so I think she may be afraid that I am doubting my commitment to her, which I am not. I am still madly in love with her and I have every intention of proposing soon. I know these are from satan, and I dont believe any of them, its just really annoying having to battle them. Plus, im sure he's going to be attacking her pretty soon if he hasn't already. Any prayer on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
