Beloved of All
A man I had been praying with from a prayer line off and on for over a year, he was with friends in my state, visiting shortly, two ladies, and encouraged me to meet for the first time and have prayer. I did. The woman's house was so pretty/nice. Yet I felt as though he may have been disappointed with how I looked (nothing romantic with us, but I'm self-conscious). And as he talked to me about his friend, he said something like, "yeah, I've learned to have compassion on the rich, they sometimes meet with people who want handouts." I felt kinda bad, like I hope he didn't say something that made her think badly of me, or to be cautious of me. I also felt bad that his opinion of me may have gone so down after he saw me, as I'm not extremely pretty. I was offered to come over there and pray when I wanted, and she offered her number, saying to get it from him as I was leaving. He gave it after I asked, and again, just felt a little awkward. She has like 5 spare rooms, and to be honest, I have been praying and fasting for a friend, who so needs a place to stay, and this was before I met her. I wondered if she might be willing to let them, briefly, as there were like 5...please pray that God would guide, and if there was a bigger reason for me meeting her that His plans would come to pass, and nothing he says/said to her would inhibit that, and that his friends would not think badly of me because of him, and nor would he. I just felt little bad/awkward, though they were nice...just something seemed off...thank you for praying, I know it may sound silly but so important to me. I really liked the lady who owned the home, she was nice, down to earth, and I have been praying so about this other situation, and just don't want, if this was from God in some way, for the enemy to block it. Thank you so for praying, and God bless.
 
Lord, we thank you that you for the blessings that you have given us. Help us to honor you in every part of our lives. We place this request at your throne. Please hear and reply according to your perfect will and timing. Grant us the peace to know that you are in control. In Jesus Name. Amen.
 
I am sorry you felt so self-conscious and awkward. You have to look at it this way -- What is meant to be will be. Online relationships can be great, but if you have not met the person face-to-face, then you don't really know them in some ways. You can kind of make up the person as you go along to suit whatever your particular needs are at the moment, and you can also attribute desirable character traits that the person really does not have. (I am not saying not to form these relationships. They also have their positive aspects.) All I am saying is the old adage, "You have to kiss many frogs before you find your prince charming." I also agree with your instinct that something about what went down was weird. Anyway, figure out what you are looking for and then go after it -- You want friends -- you can find them online. You want prayer friends, ditto. You looking for a man? There are many online dating sites. Of course you have to be careful. Never meet the guy at your own home the first couple of dates, etc. My friend ### went on seniors.com and met a man she ended up dating for two years. But then the two of them broke up. She cried and went back on the dating site. She met some men, but nothing really clicked. And she got kind of aggravated with having to get all dressed up and all made up, etc. But I know ###. She will try again. It is like anything else -- Dice roll only God is in control. Hope you find the kind of relationships you are looking for either online or off. I pray for you in the name of Jesus of Nazareth. Amen and amen.
 
Holy God and loving Father, I consciously place my fears, worries, anxieties, and burdens in your hands. I know that I have so little power to change the outcome of these events and I trust that you will work what is pleasing to you, and best for me, out of these situations. Forgive me for my anxious thoughts and for letting my own worry become an idol that robs you of my full trust. Strengthen and empower me to trust you more by the power and presence of your Spirit. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen
 
Answered prayer—thank you all for praying, and for your kind and encouraging words. Soon after the prayer request, that man called. He was very kind, almost reassuring, letting me know he had actually seemingly felt nervous because of me. Apparently, the things I felt were not entirely real, such as the worries, and I thank God for the conversation that happened after. Thank you all so very much for praying...
