Do you think God will grant my request?

[jennifer_bloom]

I never leave the house so I know very few single men and every day I work on my career and I ask God to give me a husband, where I live a decent home costs around a million dollars so I plan on buying my family home off my parents for a discounted price instead of buying homes from strangers at full price, it just seems tough to buy a one or two million dollar house, find a husband with no anger issues, and have a baby in my 30s. Don’t know if God will give me what I want.

[Static_In_The_Attic]

As for the future unwritten it is & like a genie your requests from god can’t always be granted instantly but god can certainly get the ball rolling & leave the rest up to you to write your own future.

[Aakash_Hangargi]

Amen to that buddy

God says in the Bible that you have to work in order to eat, which means you also have to go out and see people in order to get someone.

I'm with Ben Franklin on this one: God helps those who help themselves. A million dollar home is just about impossible to afford if you don't have a 500,000 dollar job. Do your parents plant to sell their home to you? Where will they live if they do this? Have you discussed this with your parents?

I think it's completely possible to find a man without "anger" issues. Most normal folk DO NOT have said issues. If you're running into nothing but angry men, maybe you've been taught to tolerate this in a man and it gets you into bad relationships that you have toexit. I'd explore that with a counselor or therapist.

But it's not up to God to "give" you anything. It's up to you to GET what you want and be prepared for and have a PLAN to succeed at fulfilling your deepest desires.

Go to meet-ups where you have mutual interests with the people there. Book club. Canoe. Hike. GET OUT of your comfort zone. No one will plop in your lap if you're staying home.

Your life and your goals to get what you want are completely up to YOU. God has given you all the tools you need to be successful. Use them.

"Delight yourself in the Lord, and He will give you the desires of your heart." Psalm 37:4

I followed this, and God brought me the most incredible man I could ever ask for. But I had to be patient, and I did have to date.

Figuring out what you don't want is just as important as figuring out what you do want.

But there was a lady at my church who went without dating, and God did bring her perfect match to her. He told her to be patient, and he fulfilled his promise.

The point I'm making is, if you are in love with God, you won't settle for a terrible man. He will guide you, regardless whether you choose to date or be patiently abstinent until the right man asks you out.

You at least go to church, right? He might appear there.

[Jamie05rhs]

@watercolor_lions Dating and abstinence are not mutually exclusive.

[watercolor_lions]

Abstinence isn't an exclusive verb for sex, is it?

[Jamie05rhs]

@watercolor_lions It usually refers to sex. 🤷

[Jamie05rhs]

(Also, it's a noun; but I digress.)

[watercolor_lions]

People can abstain from a lot of things. (Sorry, abstain is the verb). I was using it properly. It doesn't have to be sex. It's just most commonly associated with sex.

[Jamie05rhs]

@watercolor_lions Okay. Then what would you be abstaining from in the example that you gave?

[watercolor_lions]

Abstaining from dating

[Jamie05rhs]

Ok. But nobody ever says that. Lol. That's not a thing. When people say "abstain" in the context of dating, it means sex.

Also, you're not "abstaining from dating" if you say yes to a guy who asks you out.

[FlutteringFeelings]

First, you have to get out the house. I remember when the world started opening back up; my Dad told me that I can sit in the house all day and expect to come across the man God has for me. You have to put yourself in the position to be approach by either going to church, spend your days off at your favorite coffee shop or restaurant. I’ve decided to go to church because I wanted to get more connected to God in worship and I came across a lot of men. My focus wasn’t finding a man but I wasn’t blind to what I was attracted to either.


I came across a guy at church and I’m attracted to him but I’m taking things slow. My options remain open because I can’t put all my eggs in one basket. Get out there. I always tell myself that if God could send my man at my door step through Amazon prime I’ll take that as well.

[Carolus]

Are you rooted to this place? No offense intended. To me, you can always move to a cheaper place with decent homes too, buying a million dollar house is next to impossible unless you are engaging in illegal ventures or plan buying it later in life after successful major investment or being in successful talent related fields that pay serious money e. g sports, films, music etc. The other option is marrying a loaded husband. And with more money comes more problems, you will have a chain of women to compete with.


On the other hand, am made of husband material, never get angry 😡 and you can come we live in my 50k house, and we gonna have a baby in your 30s, so you have been granted your request, it’s you who doesn’t want to accept it.😁

[Heartache0405]

God won't give you anything. He'll give you a situation where you yourself have to take priority in order to get what you want. He's probably been putting you in many situations where you could, but you reject then or friend zone them or find them creepy or whatever. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[worthlessopinion91]

Sometimes to receive God's blessings and things prayed for, you have to have put somethings into action...

I can pray for a 7 figure career, but if I do nothing to earn a 7 figure career, would I realistically expect God to make that happen out of nowhere.

As far as finding a husband, maybe make yourself more available to talking to and meeting more men. Maybe look in unexpected places... Maybe adjust your outlook on men. Most men don't have anger issues.

God wants us to be happy and find fulfillment but you can't expect to pray it into your life without putting yourself out there and being available

[Honestguyopen]

Matthew 6:31-34 is a good answer for this question. Remember that our father knows what we need to survive, be happy, and serve him faithfully. So he asks us to be seeking his will first, then he will add all other things to us.

1 Timothy 2:3,4 let's us know that God's will is for all people to be saved from sin and death.
How do we connect his will with marriage?

1 John 5:14,15 tells us that whatever we ask according to his will by means of prayer will be heard. So since being married is a arrangement instituted by God to prevent us from fornication and immorality, which would result in death, one could reasonably look at their own situation and see that it is God's will for them to find a mate.

[slatyb]

I don’t think so, are doing nothing to help yourself. How do you imagine you will meet a man who can afford a million dollar house? That would require about $200,000 down and a $250,000 income to make the payment. Do you have any income? Men earning $250,000 are rare, top 2%, and they have a lot of choice in dating. If you could meet them, what do you have to offer them? All I’m hearing is what you want. What makes you special? Why would they choose you over another woman?

[KlinkyCoder]

No, I have requested implicitly or explicitly to God things like a girlfriend and even the saving of Western civilization. So far, God has not granted or intervened in some kind of plan to allow it to happen, as of right now everything and everyone is continuing the trend of going to Hell and it has been uninterrupted for the last three generations.

[victoriaxoxo]

Ugh damn now I have to play civ 4. Thanks.

[DesiUwU]

I pray for simple things here and there, nothing to major. Usually end up fixing my own problems anyways, god is just a nice release bc it feels like he listens without judgement.

[Jintendo18]

I’m not God, so I can’t answer that for you. But if you’re the person of faith that you postulate yourself to be, then you know that He’ll give you whatever it is that you need.

[AnthonyJ01]

God will give you what you need. I also don't leave my home unless I need to so I don't know people. I am retired military and work a part time job at around 25 hrs a week. I keep to myself, but yes I do voice my opinion. I myself talk to God daily. He will provide what I need.

[Greedier]

Honestly no one could possibly know, the ways He work is unpredictable and unbelievable.

Maybe yes..
Maybe not..

Maybe something even better, who knows?
You'll need to wait and see to know tbh.

Wish u the best! ^^

[ShaTTeredMasterpeace]

Faith without work is dead. You can pray all day and night, but you also have to act. God isn't just gonna drop a man on your front porch.

[NotTacocaT6969]

God does not exist and even if it did it would not care about you.


Grant your own request. Be responsible for your own happiness. Control your own life.

[JSmuve]

LOL! You don't leave the house and you want the big invisible dude in the sky to magically drop you a ready-made husband at your doorstep as well as a multimillion dollar home? Ummmm, keep praying.

[AndrésC64]

No, he'd have to exist first.

[ChiTown33]

God helps people who help themselves. It's hard to meet people from home. Plus knowing what I know of you your high standards are going to hinder you.
Good luck.

[rabbitzzz]

I have been thinking where should I limit myself when asking from G-d. Surely G-d is almighty. But should I ask for flying ability like superman. Certainly not too difficult for G-d.

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

I believe if you shall ask in his name, you shall receive and I hope the best will come your way 👼🙏

[JasM0]

I recommend reading the Parable of the Three Servants - Matthew 25: 14-30
