3 signs that God is protecting you from a toxic relationship
Hey Queen!
I know it can be tough navigating Christian relationships. When it comes to relationships, God’s wisdom often extends beyond what we can see or understand in the moment. Sometimes, what feels like rejection or disappointment is God protecting us from things that we cannot see. Here are three signs that God may be protecting you from a toxic dating relationship:
1. Doors Keep Closing
If circumstances continually prevent the relationship from progressing—whether it’s canceled plans, communication breakdowns, or unexplained distance—it could be a sign that God is closing a door to protect you.
How you should interpret this: God may be shielding you from heartache or harm that you can’t yet see. When a relationship feels forced or filled with obstacles, it’s worth praying for clarity and asking God if this is from him.
2. You Feel Uneasy in Your Spirit
Sometimes, you’ll notice a persistent feeling of discomfort, doubt, or unease about the relationship, even if everything seems fine on the surface. This could be the Holy Spirit prompting you to pay attention to potential red flags.
How you should interpret this: God uses your intuition and spiritual discernment to guide you away from unhealthy situations. If you feel unsettled, take time to pray and seek wise counsel to understand what God may be revealing to you.
3. You Notice Consistent Red Flags
If the person you’re dating displays behaviors like manipulation, dishonesty, lack of respect, or spiritual incompatibility, these are clear warning signs. God desires for you to be in relationships that honor Him and reflect His love.
How you should interpret this:
God may be protecting you by helping you recognize toxic patterns early. Don’t ignore these signs, even if it’s hard to walk away. Trust that God has someone better suited for you.
Bible Verse: “Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what partnership has righteousness with lawlessness?” — 2 Corinthians 6:14
God’s protection isn’t always easy to recognize in the moment, but God always has your best interest at heart. If you sense that he’s closing a door, guiding your spirit, or revealing red flags, trust him. Surrender the relationship to God, knowing that he has a greater plan for your life.
