The last 2 years of my life have been a hurricane. I moved away from home because of family issues. I had to move to a totally different environment. It was with family, but I always felt like an outsider. The hardest part of the struggle I was going through was that the year it all went south, I had just started to pray and fast. I participated in my very first Daniel Fast and shortly after the fasting was over, all hell literally broke loose. All the same I did not give up on God and ran straight to…

Dear Praying Women, I’m looking for some advice that lines up with the Bible. I have recently begun speaking to a guy online and we’ve been chatting regularly. Well, everything seems to be going incredibly well and a lot of our non-negotiables and even preferences on both parts are well matched. This is the first time in years I’ve met someone who has more than just a little potential. The only thing I’d like advice on is that he has had relationships with both women and men before. His most long lasting relationships have been with men. However, he has…
At an early age I learned that God created me different from everyone else. What made me different was my visual flaw, when everyone saw me they saw my flaw. I’m opening a wound that has healed, but it’s my story. Imagine being singled out by another eight year old because your skin was different from theirs, no one wanting to stand by you, or even be your friend because you were born different. Can we say self esteem issues? I was just a kid that wanted to be accepted. From childhood to becoming a teenager I was a very…
“I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances.” Philippians 4:11 Being content when things are NOT the way you want them. Yeah – this can be a tough pill to swallow and I’m talking from personal experience here. Let’s just get the real reason this is a challenge out of the way – we’re human with feelings and flaws. Yup, that pretty much sums it up. And we have a want what I want when I want it mentality. So being content in life circumstances that are not what…
Yesterday, one of my close “friend girls” (as my sister would say) and I went to an ice cream parlor. The server seemed to be a polite young man who looked like he was about 14 or 15 years old. After we finished eating our ice cream, we asked for the check. The amount owed was a little over $8.00. So, I gave the young man a $10.00 bill and waited for my change. He walked over to the tip jar and dropped my change into it. My friend said, “Well, he got his tip!” After we got outside, I…
The movie “Mom’s Night Out” delivers a powerful message, not just for mom’s, and portrays a significant truth we can all learn from. You are enough. These three words took me years to figure out and truly believe, yet I still encounter times when I get lost in the constant battle and have to block out all other voices and focus on His. God’s. We continually beat ourselves up on a daily basis until we are wore out and exhausted. It’s difficult not to compare ourselves to others, dismiss the lies and deceptions we hear and the feeling as if…
Just when you feel like you can’t do it alone anymore, God reminds you that you never had to do it alone in the first place.
Sometimes we pray for things we’re not ready for. Be patient… God is getting you ready!
Respect the process. God knows exactly what He’s doing and His timing is always perfect.
The bible states in 2 Corinthians 3:17, “Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.” The presence of God in your home has the ability to calm fears, eradicate unnecessary attitudes, and also keep everyone focused on the important things in life. Sustaining a Godly atmosphere in your home can positively affect your marriage in more ways than one. Here are 3 ways to have a Godly atmosphere at home. 1. Pray every morning. “Always be joyful, never stop praying. ” 1 Thessalonians 5:16-17 Prayer has to be your steering…
Many times as Christians we are told to ask vigorously what we want/need and it shall be given to us. Many times we are encouraged to wait and be patient for the one who has been promised to us from God. However, how comfortable are you with the possibility that you’re never going to get married? Are you fine with just you and God being that perfect physical relationship you earnestly pray for? What if it is God’s will for you to live a life of singleness? – look at your heart… Does this question not make you wonder whether…
Knowing what you want is pointless if you’re not disciplined enough to wait for it.
Every relationship has its ups and downs, But how do you know when you’re forcing a relationship that is not meant to be?
Sometimes when you are faced with difficult situations, you can lose your faith. It can feel like God is not listening or that He simply doesn’t care. However, it’s important to remember that faith is the substance of things hoped for, and the evidence of things not yet seen. It’s also important to realize there’s a power working on your behalf, even when you can’t see it. But when you learn to trust, despite your circumstances, you will see that your faith is still intact – you just have to hold on. You just have to make the choice to…
Seeking love and commitment can be challenging, as well as rewarding. It’s challenging because we have to kiss a few frogs before we actually locate our prince. It’s rewarding because dating is an opportunity for self discovery and should be enjoyable. I strongly believe there are specific temptations and situations single folks must avoid. So without further ado…. Here are 5 Things Single Christians Should Never Do: 1. Pursue someone who is unavailable “Unfaithfulness is a character flaw that we shouldn’t desire in a potential mate.” Besides the fact that we all know it’s biblically wrong, a married man is simply not in…
The more time you spend with God, the less time you have to get in trouble.
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…
“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…
