Is it selfish to pray and ask God for a good girlfriend? Jesus said "ask and you shall receive" so will it work?

I have a friend who is into the occult and apparently he asked some spirits for a gf and a few weeks later he found a gf who is also into the occult, so they are happy together.

I don't want to resort to that stuff…

You can pray for a partner, but with humility. You must assent to God's will, and learn to make peace with it. It's not always easy, obviously, but the thing about prayer is it changes us too. God enlivens us and renews us.

The fact that you're even entertaining the thought of the occult shows me that you don't have your priorities in order. Before you can seriously think about getting into a relationship, you need to develop a healthy way of thinking about relationships - and have a well-informed sense of perspective about the important things in your life.

and remember, a relationship is between two human beings. Both of whom have free will. God won't force someone to love you. But He could draw you together.

It depends on your intentions, I prayed to God to give a good company to live this life with me in this life and he gave me, God gave a wife to Adam, he can prepare one for you man

>Pray to god for a good wife

>All of a sudden tons of women are staring at me, smiling and such

God will probably find you a mate. He's certainly started to help me out.


27e6f3 No.259087

Pray for a good wife. God provides mates for mere birds, what more his children? It is a fine thing to pray for.

Adding to these, specifically

>a relationship is between two human beings. Both of whom have free will.

>God gave a wife to Adam, he can prepare one for you man

>>256767

If you yourself are not the kind of person a good woman would want to be with, God will have to change you into such a person first. Therefore don't necessarily expect a girl in a box, but rather a kick in the pants.

Speaking from my own experience, God responds to prayer by giving you what you need. You get what you want only when you've been prepared to have what you want and when you refuse correction, you're not getting it, because someone would end up worse.

If you are asking your Lord and savior, Jesus for help in anything that is not against His will then you are doing as He asks. It is true that demonic spirits try to keep the people that serve them happy but their motives are death and destruction in everlasting fire. Do not repent to, worship, bow to or pray to anything in heaven or earth except the Lord your God and ask him for the Holy Spirit which will make His will clear to you. The Lord God is the only one who can help you to pick the right one. Many people try to do this on their own and end up in a divorce.

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 “Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.”

Luke 4:8 “Worship the Lord your God and serve him only.”

Exodus 20:4 “You shall not make for yourself an idol, or any likeness of what is in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the water under the earth.”

Luke 11:11 “Which of you fathers, if your son asks for a fish, will give him a snake instead? Or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion? If you then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!”

This. I was too weak (not physically), needy, a true β, God started to prepare me, making strong, making me a leader because he knew I would need that to make my wife happy. He prepared her too, it's not something that happens overnight, he prepare you and her.

I can only imagine the kind of occult larpagan hot topic ham beast your buddy is getting. Is she the hot but herpes kind? The little to comfortable with knives kind? or the my parents are divorcing and i heard black was slimming kind?

It's almost like a monkey's paw style wish. I would LOVE to have an update on how this relationship ends.

This is true. My wife was praying for someone like me at the same time I was praying for someone like her. I truly believe she is my miracle. If you don't think that is a miracle she was a hot 20 year old virgin. that is more rare than quads.

Amen, I know a beautiful 19 year old virgin turning 20 in March.

She's dating someone but I can see it in the future. Or not. She is certainly wife material. My point is, serious Christians are out there, brothers.

She's Catholic, too.

Yes, it's absolutely okay to pray for a gf. Even if you're not ready for one. God isn't some tool that you can accidentally misuse.

But that doesn't mean you'll get one, at least not on your preferred timing. God's plan may differ from yours. You may need to grow first before you're ready for the right kind of girl. Maybe the right kind of girl isn't ready for you yet. In any case, your focus should be on seeking God's will, obeying and serving Him in every area of your life, and on becoming a better and better man of God.
