Megan's prayer: Jonathan and Steven Cohen's "Friend of Mine"

I have a friend who constantly complains about her boyfriend. They are always in fights, not talking to each other. She tells me about once a week that she should probably break up with him, and I agree with her. She seems so unhappy with him, yet never breaks the cycle. She continues to date him, to complain about him. It's frustrating from my stand point to watch her so sad, then to see her come up with the solution (break up with him), to talk about it, but then to not follow through. She falls back into her old habits, when there is something so much better waiting for her.

I'm a bit hypocritical I guess. In my past prayer posts I have talked about how God is the only answer. Last night at Encounter they talked about how God is all we need. Even today, the lines that stuck out for me were "Comfort, peace and sweet release, Must come from you." I see the solution. I see that God is the only way. I've admitted it to myself, and yet so quickly I find myself reverting to my old ways. I don't know what is holding me back. I think I'm partially scared of what will happen if I do give myself completely to God. I'm scared of the unknown. And yet, I know God will provide for me, will take away my fear, as soon as I do give myself to him.
