How much simpler would it be waiting for the marriage we pray for if we had a tracking number. But God is not Amazon; and where would our faith be produced if we never had questions? There is hope in the waiting and faith from the praying. I hope this episode encourages you, reminding us all why we pray, how vital the component of faith truly is, and that God's nature and His will are good indeed.
Love you and grateful you're here!! 
—Xoxo, Christian

There are mainly 2 scenarios that occur after going on a date: 1). You enjoy it and look forward to getting to know them more or 2.) You believe you have a clear "not for me" after the date is over. So what do you do? As women, we tend to want to avoid this guy/conversation or "kindly" reject them slowly into the friend zone. But KINDESS is not the best solution following a date, rather, it's CLARITY! Listen as my husband Arden and I share why it's important to communicate after a—good or bad—date and how you should progress if you believe this person definitely isn't for you or could be your future husband.

Prayer is powerful. Why wait to bless your marriage and your spouse until after you tie the knot?

With so many distractions, options, and attacks against our men today, we have the powerful honor of interceding on their behalf. Let this prayer guide you in aiding his direction and believing that the call on his life is esteemable and achieveable!!

Ladies, you can pray this over your husband if you're married, or over your future husband if you haven't met him yet.


Prayer for His Direction—
Lord, I pray over my future husband. Be an anchor and a guard all around. Cover and ground him. Lead him not into temptation nor distraction. I know that you have written eternity on his heart and direction in his purpose. Show him how to walk steadfast in the direction You have set before him. Illuminate Your Word to him afresh. Leading him specifically to what he needs to read today to be able to know how to step tomorrow. I pray he will be supernaturally immovable until he senses where You want him to go. Give him eyes to see what You have illuminated before him, and confidence to believe that in You, he will achieve it. God, I ask you to sweep away any passivity or worldliness that can thwart his efforts or steal Your glory. I pray as he commits all his work unto You, that You will establish him and give him favor amongst men. Thank you for his ability, thank you for his talents, and thank you for giving him clear direction.
