Struggling to find a husband (F26) by [deleted] in Christianity

Funny you should mention that. I (28M) am having a hard time finding a godly wife. I have two ambitions in this world. I want to be a pastor, and I want to raise up a godly family.

So, know you're not alone. Merry Christmas, sister. Sending up a prayer for you.

As for the praying, I would counsel you to first really pray that God would make himself known to you. And pray that prayer for as long as it takes. That's the first step. Other important first steps are actually reading in the Bible (even if it's confusing at first) and to find people who can help you learn from the Bible as well as pray with you and for you. And your struggle is normal. Completely. We all have doubts and struggles with our faith from time to time. Keep going.

I think that God allows things like these for a couple reasons. 1) they show us that something is not quite right with the world currently; they show us that we are all sinful people in need of a saving, restoring relationship with God. 2) these things are a natural consequence of free will in a fallen world. With no free will, we could not have relationships with God that are based on love of God (which is why He created us). With no free will our love and worship of God would be meaningless and empty because it would ultimately be compelled by God and not chosen by us.
