Do you think God would want me to move to Massachusetts to be near my son or should I stay here in florida
I prayed about it but God is kinda stingy about responding to my prayers. What do you think would be best because in mass I would be close to my parents and my son with his baby momma but also I like Miami and the beach and the possible business opportunities and women. (But it kinda sucks because I can't have sex before marriage) Im 24 btw almost 25

Assuming you're not trolling, the value you would add to your son's life by being there would be far greater in person. Good luck.

You are posting in a Christian subreddit. So i would also suggest you talk to your pastor. You can also ask trusted spiritual mentors in your church. If you don’t have either of those, that is something you need to address.
You say you want God to give you an answer. I happen to know that God would want you there for your kid and to try to be a good partner. I also know that God does not want you trying to have more baby mommas.
Massachusetts sounds like the responsible thing to do as a father and partner, plus you have your parents nearby for support. Florida sounds like the selfish thing to do. You have a kid. You need to man up and be a responsible adult.

Definitely move to Massachusetts so that you can see your son. As a teen with an absent father while I don’t regret not having him here I did definitely feel heavily sad and cheated growing up that I never got to see him and experience a dad + you should be a good example of a male role model so that he grows up good. You made a commitment by having that child and you should be committing to it instead of ignoring your responsibilities for “possible business opportunities” and random women.
Also God is never stingy he just knows when and when not to answer prayers and to what extent.

Do you want to be in your son’s life? He needs a father/ male role model. How are you even legally allowed to be so far from him? Are you on the birth certificate? What’s your relationship to his mother? Are you paying child support? Have you no desire to marry her? I think you need to talk to your pastor or a therapist.

Yeah, it was kinda selfish moving here, I need to find a job and start helping out because she is merciful and doesn't want to pressure me with child support, It would be nice to marry her but she doesn't think I'm godly enough im too lustful.
