The Bible says : “Ask and you shall receive”. If we want to get married, of course, we should talk to God first. So here are some tips to pray effectively for this next step in your life.
When we pray about our singleness, God often answers with a promise. A verse springs out of the Bible, a spiritual authority gives us a special word or many other signs. To believe in this promise, we must remember WHO made it.
It’s not always easy to be a pastor! Sometimes, people ask pastors to pray for needs that are very hard to meet, especially when it comes to marriage! No wonder why some pastors look to flee when they see a single member of their congregation approaching them.
For the vast majority of singles, marriage looks like an improvement to their situation. But is that really the case? If we idealize marriage, we are more than likely to be surprised after the honeymoon. It also applies to our relationship with God.
When the pastor reads Ephesians 5 about how women should be submissive, women roll their eyes and the men shout “Amen!” But men shouldn’t rejoice too quickly because they too are called to be submitted.
