Within the past few weeks, I have had several different conversations with women who have told me that they are or will be praying for me to find a husband. Each of these women have been very lovely, well-meaning, older, Christian ladies who are pillars in our local church communities - and all have been married!
While I am honored that they want to include me in their prayers, there are many other areas that I would appreciate prayer - a friend who is ill, my godchildren who are facing issues from teething to driver's tests, or my college courses as I train for a second career. I would also like to share that perhaps marriage isn't part of God's plan for me and that I am happy and content with how my life is currently.
I am wondering if it would be appropriate for me to share these thoughts with them and how I might be able to do it in a way that doesn't hurt their feelings... Any advice?
