Do you believe God will give you the desires of your heart if you delight in Him? Even if you do, waiting for them can be painful. You might get discouraged, wondering if God will answer your prayers. Or, you could become angry when you see Him blessing others with the desires of your heart. How do you thrive in the midst of a painful season of waiting? While you wait, God works behind the scenes on your behalf. Give Him time to arrange every detail so you will receive His best! God doesn’t want you to be miserable while…

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…
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…
“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…
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…
Hey all , I’m 19 years old.

Unfortunately I can’t go to any Church ” freely ” yet , I can’t do most…
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…
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…

Here’s a Prayer Request submitted by one of our readers: I need prayers for my sister and answers from God. My sister and I have always had a sibling rivalry ever since I could remember. She’s 2 years older than me but doesn’t act like it. Everyone always automatically assumes I’m the oldest and it makes her so mad! I think she resents me because I have accomplished some of the things she hasn’t. For instance, I’m married , have 2 kids, a college graduate, and a career. I love my sister and want to see her accomplish some of…
As you get older you can’t help but notice your body isn’t at all what it used to be. Your vision and hearing aren’t what they used to be, and it seems your cuts and bruises take longer to heal. But before you write off those and other symptoms as a normal part of getting older, be forewarned that they actually might be indicators of diabetes. Your risk of developing type 2 diabetes begins increasing as you age, especially if you are overweight (even if by only 10 pounds). Factors such as a family history of diabetes, high blood pressure,…
