I am having an issue. I have such a desire to be a wife these last couple of days, and today I prayed and asked God to send me a husband, and I heard Him say, "Ok." Yet I have such a hard time with hope. The other day I let myself feel hope for second, and I felt a little twinge of excitment in my heart, and then I had to stop immediately, because it just felt so dangerous! Like to get my hopes up, I'm so afraid to, because of what happened in the past. The last time I got my hopes up, I was let down (and that time I let my hopes get way up, because I saw God moving, and I trust Him). I was let down so much though, that I got so deeply sad and I had no hope left, and it was scary, because it was like I was losing control and had no reason left to live except God and school (and school wasn't something to trust in). I'm in the same boat as then, now, but God has been so good to me, I can hold onto Him and trust Him now and I believe He is with me all the time, and that gives me peace and contentment. But I do still want to be married, so much. And I have faith... sometimes... I used to always say, "I trust You, I trust You, I trust You," but I do find it harder now, but when I stop and think about it, I trust Him still. It's just so hard!

k, I am thinking now I shouldn't have posted this... moderator if you're reading I don't mind if you delete the post
I just want to declare that I TRUST God, HE knows what He is doing, and I don't. I can't see the whole picture. God I have faith in You! You can provide whatever way YOU choose. Thank You Lord! I trust You.

Hi Jess,
Tell me if you want me to delete this post. I will if you want. But I also think it's a good one! Thank you for sharing your heart and being open. It is a good post because so many of my Sisters find themselves in your situation dealing with the same feelings that you do.
I really like what you are stating though....You are "trusting God!" That's a great declarative statement, which in itself will release faith. It also will release faith in any that may read it in the future.
Blessings Sister!
Larry

Amen Brother.
when God sends the right person for you, you will know it. There will be a peace. The Spirit knows the Spirit.....DO continue to trust God.....He knows just what you need and He cares.
If you meet someone and they are either not walking with the Lord or you feel the "scarey" feeling......alarms will go off in your spirit.........Let the Lord lead you and don't be anxious, but take everything to the Lord in prayer WITH thanksgiving. Repetitious prayer is not the key.....thanking Him daily ( after praying about your need) for what He is doing.....in advance.
 love, Sandy
