The Man God Has For You by Stephan Labossiere (1)

How to Talk to God
The Most Popular Prayer Women Pray
I had a client once, and we’ll call her “Patricia,” who came to me because
she was struggling with relationships.
She was frustrated and couldn’t understand why she didn’t have greater
success in that area, despite the belief of being a great catch. Overall,
Patricia is successful and accomplished but when it came to love and men,
things always fell apart. So my question, always, at some point in the
session is did you pray and ask God should you be dealing with these men?
I’m not going to summarize her response because I want you to see the
dialogue between her and I. I also want you to think about how you would
respond when asked the same question. Can you see any similarities?
Patricia: “Yeah I prayed.”
Me: What exactly did you pray?
My follow-up question is important because we may pray; however,
we need to know exactly what it is we’re praying. It’s crucial that we come
to God with the right questions and approach, seeking the correct guidance
in the situation.
Patricia: “I prayed and told God if this is not for me, please remove
this man from my life.”
Now, the reason why I highlight that specific prayer is because it’s
probably one of the most popular prayers a woman of God prays—Lord,
remove him if he is not for me.
Patricia: “That’s what happened, I prayed that and a couple weeks
later he was gone. And every time I pray that prayer, that guy ends up
leaving. So, you know, that’s what I do, that’s how I pray to God.”
Let me pause right here and make something crystal clear to you right
now, that is the wrong prayer. Sorry to burst your bubble and disappoint
you. I’ll say it again, that is the WRONG PRAYER.
