One thing I wish I had learned earlier in life is to seek God’s guidance in my relationships. Looking back, I realize that many of the heartbreaks and drama I experienced could have been avoided if I had made seeking His direction a priority. When I was younger, I made relationship decisions based on surface-level qualities—whether he was good-looking, if we shared common interests, or if he made me feel good in the moment. But if I’m being honest, I definitely had a “type”—and it wasn’t exactly the healthiest one. Fine, dangerous bad boys—yes, that was my thing.
A conversation I had with a friend recently really hit home. She shared that whenever someone starts showing interest in her, she first asks God to reveal their true intentions. She prays, “Lord, if they’re not for me, take them away,” and more often than not, she notices that these individuals seem to disappear without much effort. It got me thinking. The one prayer God seems to answer quickly is the one asking Him to remove anyone who isn’t meant for you, and that’s something I’m now convinced we all need to do.
You see, praying for a relationship isn’t about desperation—it’s about being intentional. We pray for our careers, our businesses, and our families, so why not pray about the most important decision of all—who to date? After all, this person will be a huge part of your life, potentially shaping your future for better or worse.
So, ladies (and gents too), if you’re dating or thinking of dating, start by praying about it. Ask God to guide you to the right person and open your eyes to anyone who isn’t meant for you. Don’t waste time on relationships that aren’t aligned with your purpose. Trust God to bring you someone who’s truly meant to be with you. It’s always a good time to start being intentional about who you let into your life.
God’s got your back in this journey—don’t forget to invite Him in!
