That is a slogan we sometimes hear, especially in Christian circles. When we take the time to reflect on this phrase, we realize that it is indeed a pearl of wisdom to apply in all areas of our lives, especially in the search for a partner.

It’s a very popular expression. It can be used to be prepared (in the sense of: To be on the safe side), or out of worry (that is: What if such an unfortunate thing were to happen…). Being prepared is good, but not being worried.

As children of God, we enjoy all kinds of undeserved blessings. But sometimes we go through more difficult times. And even these hardships can be positive for us if we react in the right way.

Any good Christian will answer “Of course”! By trying to be a “good person,” we automatically think we are trustworthy. However, there are many small actions that we take that can put barriers in our relationships.

In the Bible, we find several verses that encourage us to make our needs known to God. But prayer being a dialogue, we must also give Him the chance to speak to us and to respond to us in His way!
