Yesterday, my officemates and I have attended a very informal bible study and well.. one has confessed and shared that she did pray for love.. she prayed for God to pick the right man for him and all the signs she wished will signal her was shown by this man. I remember i did pray for love myself. i prayed for my boyfriend, i believe i prayed and i believed he is the right one for me.. though the journey is still long, many things can still and will happen.. but for now, i am sure that he is the right now, God sent for me. How about you.. are you praying for love? Did you pray for God to give you the best partner? Please do share... =)

Honestly, I did prayed for love. I never really experienced loved when I was still studying because I was too busy with my studies and busy praying for the right guy to come. I remember really crying while talking to God, asking him to give me the man who he plans to love me and the man who he plans to be with me forever. I honestly did cry that one night not because I really wanted to be in a relationship but because I wanted God to show me the person whom he planned for me and that I don't want to choose for myself for I might be choosing the wrong person. Thank God he really showed me the person whom I love so much and whom I think loves me as well. I agree with you, the journey doesn't stop there, we still have a very long way to go. But I still continue praying that he is already the right one for me and the right one whom God has planned be to be with for the rest of my life.

Oh wow! that is really wonderful to hear. God does love us in every way and though we meet people who are not meant for us and we end up being separated from them, it is sure that we are always going to find whom he finds the best for us. I know this is so because God intends the good to happen to us- he gives us signs, and he gives us all we know is to help us decide - we will be on the right track if we can only be not hard headed and listen to him as we decide for our lives. It is really always the matter of the heart, decisions that changes our lives... God will be willing to guide us not to fail if we are sensitive and humble enough to ask him.

Yes, I did pray for that before, when I'm young and driven by my emotion. But I'm not praying for that anymore today, the best thing for me to pray is what I become someday, His plan for my life and what His will for me to do every single day. And about for the love, well if I become a person that God want me to be, that will be next. =)

Hi there axlrate. Thank you for your sharing with the topic. I believe we know in our hearts what we want and what we are praying for. It is always what we need to see in our life that we are praying for. God is good and he knows what he will give us as long as we remain faithful to him the more.

Hello, its been a year before you replied, but I'm glad that you replied my responded last year. You know I'm totally agree with you, and like you said, everything become clearer now to me, I know you don't understand me at all but the thing is I'm pretty sure of what I'm aiming now, the way that I need to be pray for, even for the dream girl that I need to pray, its all very clear, and I'm very thankful to GOD for that. And yes, definitely GOD is good and HE knows what HE is doing, and whatever HIS plan to me I would totally surrender myself to HIM. GOD BLESS you...

You really prayed for God to give you a boyfriend? I'm not sure why that surprises me. I have never thought to ask God for a wife. I've never needed one before. Why would I need one now? Its interesting that you pray for this. Of course you already have a boyfriend, so you are simply praying that the one you are already with, is the one God meant for you to be with? What if he isn't, but you marry him anyway? Curious.

I was surprised with how you saw this discussion. I did not pray for a boyfriend per see. I prayed for right person to come to my life. I ean it is almost just us deciding for ourselves and we end up broken and i pain. When God chooses the right person for you then everything will be really his will and will turn out smoothly.

Why do you think that? What reason do you think G-d will not a bad person? And how do you know? If a boy shows up, how do you know "G-d sent this boy"?

No. I don't waste my gods time when I can just go out there and meat other people. I think my gods have better things to do than hearing me complain about not finding Mr right. Why should god gave you everything if you are not helping yourself. If you want to find the right man, you go out, get to know that guy and if he is not the one you move on until you find the right one.

thanks for your response... Though yours seem too harsh but your opinion is this... No offense taken. I think Gid is God of small and big things... He is in fact Gid of all things. Thus no issue or no prayer is large or small for him. If you ask and if you pray for anything that coincudes qith his will then so be it. I mean yes it also follows that we do not wait for the personto come as we should also not bebstuck anywhere with anyone we dont see fit to be with us. God bless.

Hi! You are lucky that God answered your prayers. There were times that I did pray to God about sending a good guy for me. I didn't even wish for the right man already. I just wanted someone to be with me and make me happy. But God didn't give me anyone so I stopped praying. I don't take it against God though. I'm still young and maybe God has reasons for everything. I admit though, that sometimes I think God is being unfair and He doesn't really have a reason for everything. But I stopped thinking about it. I just take whatever life gives me.

Truly speaking I do pray to God, but not for giving me the right girl but to give me the one whom I love the most. And I am sure if mine is true love God will gave her hands to me.

Blessing comes our way when we faithfully pray. I'd say my boyfriend's a blessing. Well three years ago, I used to have a close guy friend in YM. I had a big crush on him and I think he also had a crush on me. When I found out that he likes me, our relationship started to change a bit but he never courted me. It's a long long distance relationship for over 3 years, however we never saw each other in person. One time my long distance crush confessed that he has a new girlfriend. I thought he found a girl in his place. To my surprise, the girl was from another country as well. Since he has a girlfriend, I kind of backed off and stayed away from chatting him. So I made a 10 abstinence from going online in YM. Within the 10 days, I prayed and asked to God to heal my heart and give me strength to move on. I also asked God a guy whom I could love through thick or thin. Ten days after staying away from the pc.. I logged in to my social networking site which used to be friendster back then. A lot of guys invited me to be their friend. So I added them up. The next day, some of them were asking my yahoo ID.. so I never hesitated to give it to them.. I don't really care, I'm just too fond of chatting anyway. So this guy added me in YM.. the next day I came online, he left me an offline message saying "hi". I also replied "hello" then he suddenly came online. We chatted for an hour. I never really liked him at first. As days passed by he we seemed to be chatting almost everyday. I knew we had a common friend and that we're in the same school in the university but he's in a different campus and college. When we were still chatting he mentioned he was in India, and I said I'm from the Philippines. So 30 days later, we planned to meet on our first date. It went fine. I think I had a crush on him at that time. So we dated for over 6 months and I never felt any better, I even forgot the feeling of being in love with a long distance chatmate. After 6 months of dating, he courted me.. I was hesitant at the time as we were still college students on our final year. However, I said yes. A year later... he sent me a christmas card saying on the cover saying: "YOUR LOVE IS A GIFT.. GOD, IN HIS INFINITE WISDOM LED US TO EACH OTHER..." I had goosebumps all over my body, I almost cried when I read the cover of card. AMAZING!! just like an answered prayer... I think he's the one.. ^_^

yes. that was before marriage. Now after marriage we pray for getting a child. And after getting a son and a daughter we pray for their education. Then prayers are sent to God for getting employment or work for children. After that it is turn to pray for their marriage. and now again it is prayer for getting grand child....this is a cycle==never ending cycle. All this amidst heavy rains? I remember to have read ur post re. heavy rains. am I right?

H ravisian... That is correct indeed we are always at this... The bever ending cycle of what we think we do need. But that is life in general. Life sure is like tat but more yhan that...and more than what we are able bear in our minds and hearts we woud of course think of wanting tohave what God wants fo us because if. we have God in our inds we will want to be in the right path with him... With our partners.

Hi chiyosan, I did and still praying for love myself. I've prayed to God to give me the right man for me, I am not asking for the perfect but for the right one only.. I'm still young, I know that and yet I still have a long journey ahead of me and I'm willing to face it and am willing to wait for the right one will come!

hi eds. That is right when we are stil yoing or maybe when we are at the right age to settle down... We should not pressure ourselves. In doing so we would only harm us then that we would end up with the wrong guy or woman who is not God's want for us but rather only our want.

i notice it is really us women who has more tendencies to ask God for intervention when it cones to us fnding and knowing and beng with the right person. I guess it is just that we women hope to find the best we can get and we hope these men are perfect enough for us. Hehe. i pray though that you boyfriend turns out to be the best person for you and that alkah has chosen himto be your partner. May everything be in its rightful place and that you will find happiness.

Yes, I did pray to God to give me someone who will love me, take care of me and who'll accept every being of me. Perhaps, everyone asks God for someone to live with. Whom they can be happy for the rest of their lives. :) God gave me someone I never expected to have a relationship with. I just hope we could make our relationship last. Good luck to our relationships. :)

Luck ran out on my relationship where this discussion has been built upon. I guess this just shows us that nothing is really permanent in this world. I believe that it was just probably not meant to be hence it did not work out too well for us after a few years of being together.

Hi,chiyosan! Well,I'm an atheist.And no,I don't really pray for love.I do want to find the right man,but I think I should find him on my own.I will get hurt during the course,meet some jerks maybe,but I believe in myself that someday I will find my own Mr.Right.Always keep the spirits up,ay? Have a nice day,my friend!And hope true love befall all of us.

I did. I prayed for that special someone who will come into my life, sweep me off my feet. Am I getting mushy? LOL Honestly I did pray for that right guy and I would like to think that he is "the one", my current boyfriend. I do believe in asking God through prayer for the things that we want and need, and these will be given to us.
