Okay, I haven't mentioned this, but recently I've been taking steps toward a girl I like. The problem, though, and I didn't even know it until just today, is that I got so caught up in the excitement of the whole meeting a girl thing, and the first few steps toward a possible relationship (even as friends) thing, that I kinda pushed God aside in the matter. And that's not the right way to do things.

"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." (JEREMIAH 29:11)

"But seek first [God's] kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." (MATTHEW 6:33-34)

From now on, I'm going to stop struggling with God regarding my relationships. It does me no good to fight for each relationship, taking matters into my own hand. I have enough to worry about without all the hassle of relational problems. I'll do what God wants me to do, and focus on that. And God will take care of all my relationships.
