Dear Lady. Ann:
I have an ex who is a Muslim. When we were dating, I didn’t know he was a Muslim because we actually met in church. So, when I found out that he wasn’t we eventually broke up. I always say that I’ll never take back an ex and it’s been over 3 years since we broke up but he still says he wants to be together again. We communicate on and off, so we’re still on good terms. So, I was in the February cohort of the irresistible woman program and about 2 weeks after it finished he started saying things like “we’re meant to be together”, “you’re going to be my wife” and “we’re going to get married”. I found this strange because that was one of the prayer points; that our future husband would know us and not mistake us for a sister or a friend.
I know the devil can send a counterfeit, so I don’t think he’s the one since he’s a Muslim. He doesn’t mind that I’m a Christian but he says he wouldn’t convert from Islam to Christianity. I know God wouldn’t bring me someone who is unequally yoked with me as a potential husband. I haven’t prayed about it because I have dismissed him as a potential husband but, I’m thinking maybe I should pray because God might want to save him. I’m not putting myself in a position to “save him” or “change him” because that’s the Holy Spirit’s job. However, if he is the one God has for me, I don’t want to shut a door that God intends to be open door. What would be the best thing to do besides pray for him?
