January 6, 2022 at 1:18 amAs the year 2021 was about to end I started feeling pressure from my family that I have to get married. I desire to get married but I have not met a Christian man with who I would like to do this. My family are under the impression that if a man says he is Christian is enough even if there are no fruits to show for it and that men don’t really care about their faith as much as women so I need to stop taking it so seriously. This really breaks my heart especially coming from my mum who is a practising Christian but somehow doesn’t see how important it is to marry a man that can lead the home. I would just like prayer for me to keep the faith and not feel like there is no hope and that I will never meet anyone and for my family to understand that marriage is from God to glorify God.

January 6, 2022 at 2:45 amI am going through something similar, except I am a man. Where I live there are very few believers and everyone gets married very young. So while all my family and friends are married, engaged, or having kids, I’ve never even been on a date before. I’ve never even met any Christians around my age before, let alone a single, Christian girl. Sorry, I don’t mean to make this about myself, but I can definitely relate quite a lot. As a Christian man, it is kind of offensive that your family thinks men don’t take their faith seriously, but it’s a sad reflection of the society we live in. Real Christians with the accompanying fruits are hard to find. I pray that they change their minds and stop pressuring you into an unequally yoked relationship. I also pray that you find contentment and fulfillment in your wait for a husband. And I pray that you lean into God’s promises for your future, His goodness, and His faithfulness in this season. One thing I’ve realized recently, is that we can be a blessing to others in our season of singleness, and one such way may be that, by overflowing with joy and contentment, we could show that our joy comes from God and not from a relationship, especially in a culture where people try to find their identity in anything other than God

January 6, 2022 at 3:55 amAbba Father! How You love these precious ones! Thank You Lord, for putting them in their right mind and on the right path! You have a plan, thank You that they are waiting upon You to bring them the one You have ordained for them before the foundation of the world. Father, we come before You asking for Your fire to fall upon these families surrounding Faith Here and rp17000; that they would be attuned more to Your Word and Your Ways; that they would not be swayed by the world but instructed by Your Word. Lord, I shout for JOY for those who are determined to follow You and not be swayed to the left or right by even close relatives. Give them renewed courage and faith for their perseverance and determination! In Jesus’ Name!
Praise Your Name!
