I did ask...

[milly2]

I am 44 years old and since about the age 15 I have prayed that the Lord would reserve me a Godly husband. In 2000 I slightly changed my prayer. I asked if the Lord would choose someone best suited for me. To whom I would make a good wife. In you infinite wisdom and with your all knowing eyes select me the husband best suited for me. I rebuked the devil from trying to mislead me. I added, this year Lord at least let me know his name. Not intending to be anxious. That night and everynight for two and an half months I dreamed of the first guy ever to askk me to marry him. That was 27 years ago. Today this fellow lives 2142 miles away. What should I do next? Any suggestions.

if God brought you this far, i dont think he will leave you now, pray.

 

[seebs]

Well, I'd say, start by calling the guy and seeing if he's available.

If it is God's will for you to be with this gentleman then God will work it out so that it comes to pass.  Just don't make the mistake of getting ahead of God.  When people do that they can miss out on something that God had for them.  Keep praying.  Maybe God has something else for you.  Just keep trusting in Him.

I hope all of you will pray for us. We both have our share of issues. I know that I love him and can easily see that he loves me also. We are both probably too carful for our own good. Playing it safe and getting no place fast.

Hope everything is going well for you and your friend. Still praying. Let us know how you are doing. God Bless You.

God has brought you a long long way.. and I'm sure HE has picked out the best husband out there for you.. Give it more time, I know time is what you probbly hate right now..

Don't get fixated on one person if it is going nowhere fast. That will only waste more time. Keep your eyes open and you tongue loose so you can be open to meeting new people or viewing the ones you know in a different light. You will not get shot in the butt with one of cupid's love arrows when a suitable man comes along. You will probably like what you see and how he behaves. This will cue you to get to know him better by approaching him and engaging in conversation.

I'm wondering, why did you change your prayer?
In my perception of your post, satan has deceived you. It seems he has subtly convinced you to lower your standards & settle for a little less.
Hold in your heart that God is over all & is capable of providing a husband who is Godly and suited to you.

I have an Aunt by marriage, who is 40, and she is always getting depressed cause she hasn't found that special someone yet. I feel bad for her cause she is a pleasant woman, goods sense of humor, and it seems that the only people that she has anything in common with , ( or that she could have a relationship with is a friend at work who lives an alternative lifestyle or me ) I like her cause she is always pulling out a sarcastic side and we spar back and forth. God will find a suitable mate for you and my Aunt. He has infinite wisdom and watches over his lambs. Be patient and your prayers will be answered.

To this point I have visited him and he said that he was very happy to see me. We talked and neither of us ever married. He says that he has not been in a relationship in years. He has some surprising habits and some great ones. He drinks beer but gives his money and time to help the homeless and seems to really have a thing about the homeless. The moment that he looked up and saw me he said" I know God Loves Me" I understand is because he knows what a great coward I am when it comes to the opposite sex. We talked about nothing too personal. Mostly about the Lord. He says that he is not a saint but he does care what the Lord thinks of him. He went from trying to convince me that he was worth my interest to trying to protect me from himself. The latter is his usual mode of conduct where I have been concerned. He has made no great efforts to keep in touch and the only number he gave was at his job and I don't feel it wise to call him there.

Keep praying and the Lord will guide you

There are worse habits in the world than knocking back a beer. This guy sounds great! Keep in mind though--what you find to be disinterest may actually be shyness. Had I not pursued my now-husband like I did, he and I probably would not be together today. If you feel he's the one, go after him!

I think you need to begin dating. Whether you date this guy or another guy is not the issue. If they are a christian, start stepping out in faith and dating some people. There is a natural side to believing for a husband, and the natural side is that you need to be dating.

I do have men that are friends. It is not that I am afriad of men in general,but that the prospect of being out of control is a bad thing for me. I have never been in contol of everything, but with this guy, My butter flies fly way too high and I always panic and loose my words and end up looking stupid and empty headed. I can write to him and say wonderful meaningful, heart stirring things, but in person I am so unnerved that I stumble and studder and say very silly things. I do need your prayers. He is shy and I am shy. His friends are seeking to protect him from harm because they know what a great guy he is and my friends are trying to do the same. I am willing to do whatever God says, but I have to know that the instruction is of God. Then I am bold and confident. Sometimes God is silent waiting I believe for us to reach the last given marker. I am working on his last instruction to me. It is not easy.
