quick question

[angelinefromtx]

Okay I was going to post this in prayer intentions but it said I couldn’t ask for advice so I am asking here cause idk where to ask . Okay so I was wondering if I want to get married and find a good husband do I pray for that. Because I used to but I stopped I felt selfish to pray for me. I do pray for myself though so that way I can be more patient humble and kind also I pray that god has his way with me and that everything that happens I will accept and that he let’s his light shine through me. I was just thinking since he knows what’s in my heart and he knows everything about me and knew me before I was born do I need to pray for a good husband too? Or is it more if I get one I get one? Does that make sence? Also in mass I notice the priest says " and for all your personal intentions" when we pray do I have to pray about that? Idk I trust god and I think if he knows I want a good husband he will grant me that if that is what he wants? I do I need to pray for that?

Go to God with everything. He should be our best friend. We should be able to ask Him for help in all things.

It is not wrong to pray for a good husband; I think it shows a lot of forethought as to the role of God in your marriage. He wants to be involved in all aspects of our lives.

“ask and it shall be given to you…”

we should always pray for what we want and its up to God to give. and I think there’s a verse in the bible that says something like, even though God knows what is in our heart and our needs he still wants us to ask, so go ahead and ask and pray.

yes, my sister and her husband prayed for a good spouse before they met eachother, i don’t know what he prayed for exactly, but my sister prayed for someone who loves God and is devout and traditional, and that is exactly what she got :3 and they are so happy together, they just had a baby 2 days ago actually, very beautiful baby girl

pray for a good husband, so you can have a good marriage pleasing to God,
or just look at it this way, you’re not asking out of selfishness, you’re asking out of trust in God, because He can find you a better spouse then you can.

Angeline,

A few weeks ago, I went with members of my parish on a pilgrimage to a monastery to visit for the 400th anniversary of their congregation. Their Mother Superior spoke briefly with our group, and among the things she shared was this advice:

Pray for yourself first.

She went on to explain that there was a nun who argued with her that we should always pray for others first. Mother pointed out to her that it is prideful to think that others need prayers and we don’t! What she said made me think of that spiel everyone hears on an airplane. If the mask drops down, put on yours first before trying to help anyone else. It doesn’t do anyone any good if you are passed out before you can help others!

If I were in your shoes, I would continue to pray asking God to help you find a husband if that is His will, and if it’s not, to help you discern your vocation. God bless!

I find that God only gives you the things that He know you can handle and are good for you… It is always good to pray for yourself and ask God to help you along the journey. As far as praying for a good husband, I say do it. I prayed everyday for a good wife, if that was what God wanted for me. I also prayed for my future wife before I met her. Even if I did not know her yet, I knew that the one thing I could do for her was pray for her. I prayed that she be open to God and His will.

I met my wife online of all places. I read about the Ave Maria singles web page in my local diocesan newspaper. My first reaction was to say away from the online singles things, because of what I saw in my friends past experiences with it. After praying about it, I looked into it and the rest is history. It is not like other online dating sites. To get into the details would take forever, so If you want to look into it, the web page is www.avemariasingles.com. It will give better info about what they do and their ministry.

I know that I met my wife because I was open to God’s will and his plan. I realize now, that non of what happened to me would have ever happened, if I did not pray for it. I will be praying for you. God Bless.
