YMO: I Pray For It On My Knees

How many times have you asked God for a good man? How many times have you considered you may have some work to do in order to appreciate said man? Don’t shoot the messenger 😬🙂 Let’s Talk Self Improvement & Growth! #hrsandhrs #facebook #instagram

Have you ever searched the Bible for the word “dating”? If you have, you might be surprised at what you find—nothing.

There’s not a single verse with the word “dating” in it. Pretty crazy, right?

There is, however, something else the Bible talks a lot about: Becoming and finding the right person.

God loves you. He’s crazy about you. And because God loves you, He wants the best for you. The same is true when it comes to your boyfriend or girlfriend. The person God wants for you is someone who will bring you closer to Him.

So, before you start dating, there are three things you need to decide:

1.) Who am I going to date?

It goes deeper than that, though. What kind of person are you going to date? Often, we become like the people we spend the most time with. Is the person you want to date going to make you better or make you bitter?

Proverbs 13:20 NLT says it clearly: “Walk with the wise and become wise; associate with fools and get in trouble.”

2.) What are we going to do?

Have you ever been driving on the highway and noticed the guardrails on the side of the road? Guardrails are there to prevent a major accident from happening if your car goes too far off the road.

Guardrails are never where the danger is. Guardrails are always right before things get dangerous.

What are the guardrails, or boundaries, you’re going to set while you date to make sure you don’t go off-road?

3.) Pray and ask God for wisdom.

James 1:5 NLT says: If you need wisdom, ask our generous God, and he will give it to you. He will not rebuke you for asking.

Isn’t that so cool? If you ask for wisdom, the Bible promises that God will give it to you. Dating isn’t easy to navigate. But you don’t have to do it alone. If you ask God for wisdom, He’ll give it to you and help you become the right person.
