I have 3 times; actually when I have prayed for someone to find a person to marry which was answered. The first time was a missionary that I knew in college who later met someone he married. The next is a person who was rather desperate for prayer on the matter and he met the lady who would be his wife within 2 DAYS of that event; the third is someone who was a wonderful young woman in a former church who dedicates her life to helping immigrants from Guatemala and other countries where she works as well as taking mission trips who found someone a couple years later after I left town and was married last summer.
That being said on that subject I have been wrong in advising who may have seemed to be a good potential person with my friends in the past at least things didn't happen. In the above cases these were prayer request from these individuals; although in the last case I asked if I could pray for the matter.
As my personal situation with my dad now being institutionalized I certainly have had to ask for wisdom. I am glad the one woman there is a Godly person and has accompanied me to see my dad. Today I didn't actually bother my dad in his activity; and since one of the volunteers I know has a phone I get updates (although his call tonight once again about wanting to come home and me taking all his money wasn't much fun). My own understanding is that I'd rather be around someone I know is walking the walk rather than talking the talk than 99 others who may be friendly enough but not potent enough to be a spiritual warrior. This woman I mentioned even though she is the head admission person referred herself as a sister to me and I can be a brother in the faith; and we both want to see our dads come to Christ. The believers there and in the former home health care agency have been answered prayers.
I am going to look at practical prayers for daily devotions in the next posting.
