Is it a Coincidence Or Answer From God? I was single for 5 years, praying for my Godly man. I didn’t think it would happen, but…
I have a prayer request. My husband and I have been married for a little over 8 years. We met in church while my church was visiting his church. One of the things that attracted me to him was that he was a God fearing man. In fact, I loved everything about him. He was truly my dream man. Lately I have been noticing that he is no longer the God fearing man he used to be. Our family goes to church every Sunday , Bible Study on Wednesday, and Choir Rehearsal on Tuesdays, our kids are on the praise…
One of our biggest challenges is figuring out whether to stay and fight or walk away.
If you’re like me, you can never get tired of seeing love. Specifically, a good marriage proposal. I know I’ve said this for just about every marriage proposal I’ve shared here on The Praying Woman, but “This is one of the best wedding proposals EVER!!!” 🙂 I fought to hold back my tears just watching. In this video, the groom to be- William asked his friend to grab his camera and come over to support. Explaining, “This New Years Eve something big is going down tonight” When asked by his friend why he chose Tracy to be his wife, William…
My husband and I are both very young. We started dating when we were teens. I was 18 and he was 17. I married my high school sweetheart. We loved each other to death but sometimes lost sight of that when storms came our way. Our marriage though, has been the rockiest time in our relationship. We packed our bags, moved to another city and began life as a married couple. To start with, we were both on very different pages. I grew up in the church and knew God’s purpose for our lives and his idea of a Christian…
Dear Praying Women, My brother has been going through hard times. He recently lost his job and is a single parent to 2 beautiful kids. He lost his wife 3 years ago suddenly in a car accident. Ever since then, he has been struggling to keep their home. I can honestly say that he is actively trying to find another job and is a great father. I try to help him out when I can. Here’s the problem… My husband does not approve of me helping my brother. He says we can barely take care of our own household. My…
It is possible to have a social life as a single mom and more importantly as a Christian woman. Many women have traveled the same path with success and to the benefit of both themselves and the children. Whether you feel a lack of a social life because of time constraints, other people’s expectations or simply fear of the unknown, you can overcome these issues to rediscover a social life for yourself. 1. Don’t rush the relationship on your little ones. Get to know your mate before you leap to introduce him to your kids. If you’re already having issues…
“Dear Praying Women, I’ve been thinking and worrying for about six months now. I’m in a relationship. We’ve been together for 1 year and 7 months. As far as I’m concerned, I’m happy and content with him. But one day my ex boyfriend texted me. I replied to him because I know that I’m over him already and we’re just friends. But then our texting brought us to meeting each other again and again and we became close to each other like we were before. I know it’s wrong. I tried to stop it, but I feel like there’s more behind…
Here are 10 Things You Should Never Do After a Breakup… If you’re dealing with heartbreak and want to heal, read on for encouragement.
Dear God, forgive me. I too, have joined the media frenzy. This week it seems that many of us placed our real lives on pause to follow, click, like, comment, laugh, and speculate on the now infamous Beyonce, Solange, Jay-Z elevator encounter. Instagram posts were uploaded, statuses on Facebook were formulated, and articles online were written all based on a silent leaked 3 minute video that many of us interpreted varyingly. Overnight we became a fraction of the conspiracy theorists and online comedians. By all means, I was a part of that crowd. And I don’t necessarily believe that there…

God not only gives us the strength to endure our trials, but also the strength to help someone else endure theirs! Here are 5 Ways To Be A Blessing To Others
Corsages and boutonnieres are usually the key accessories to jazz-up your pristine prom attire. But for a group of seniors last weekend in Woodridge, Virginia, surgical masks were the ticket. “We just wore them so he wasn’t alone,” Emily Jarrell, 18, told ABC News of her longtime boyfriend, Jared Hill. Hill, 18, has been battling testicular cancer since last September. His chemotherapy treatments have weakened his immune system to that of a 2-year-old’s, which means when he’s in large public spaces, wearing a surgical mask is necessary to avoid exposure to germs. Obviously Jarrell’s prom was one of those circumstances,…
This Is A Video EVERYONE Needs To See. For The First Time In My Life, I’m Speechless. “This media we call social is anything but, when we open our computers and it’s our doors we shut”… This is one of the most vital messages that everyone needs to hear. ‘Look Up’ is a spoken word for the “online” generation. Written, performed and directed by Gary Turk, it is an extremely important life lesson for our youth. Children are growing up in a world where they don’t play outside or communicate with their friends. It seems today everything is done via…
My husband and I have been married for a little over 3 years. My best friend and I have been friends for over 5 years. Recently, I don’t know what’s gotten into my husband. He is so against me being friends with my best friend. His only excuse is that he doesn’t trust her. I think it’s because she’s single. He’s always trying to make me be friends with his friend’s wives. Which I have no problem with, but why should I have to give up my old friends? How do I handle this situation? I love my husband, but…
Dear Mr. Molester: I thought about you, today. I think about you quite often, actually. I don’t hate you. I admit, at one point in my life, I did. The memories burned my inner soul with despair and fear, but now, it no longer bothers me. I must say, that you have absolutely changed my life. I have grown to believe that everyone in my life teaches me a lesson, whether it’s what to do or what not to do; I learn from them. You are a special case. Do you remember that day? Well, I do. I remember what…
This may be a bit long but I do need advice. I don’t even know where to begin. I am a Christian and have been all my life. I am a divorcee, have been divorced for over 13 years. Ever since my divorce, I have never had another relationship as I felt that divorce and remarriage was wrong. I prayed for over ten years for my husband to return even though he was remarried. I met my husband at work in 1995 just after leaving University. We were both Christians and very young – we dated and prayed about our…

He has been unfaithful to me numerous times throughout our marriage, once resulting to another child with another woman. Last year, he left, right after our third child was born. He moved in with another woman, joined her church begin planning a wedding. I moved away with my children to start over, I told him numerous times that I would sign the divorce papers that…
So you’re a Praying Woman, Independent Woman, you cook, you clean, you’re educated, maybe even own your own business. You have all the qualities every man would hope for, but there’s just one problem… YOU’RE STILL SINGLE! You begin to doubt yourself. “Maybe I’m not such a good woman afterall.” … “What am I doing wrong?” In fact, you begin to question if you’ll ever find ‘the one’. Truth is… you’re probably doing everything right. You’re probably a really good woman, but if it’s not God’s appointed time, everyone you try to force a relationship with, will not see just…
It’s a little after 10 am on a Monday morning; I am sitting at my desk and looking through glass windows. My view overlooks nothing grand, but it’s beautiful in its own right. And I am assured that many people at home, sending their resume out to countless places, just as I am doing, much rather be in my “dilemma” because I at least have a job—in fact I have two. I try to remind myself of this as often as I can in an effort to be in a constant spirit of gratefulness and to keep things in proper…
