THE PRESSURE IS ON!

[Leah B.]

Please pray in Jesus' name that I am able to find an attractive, flattering dress to wear to my ###'s semi-formal wedding reception on May 31. It seems a long way off but because I am having surgery on my left hand on May 1, I actually DO have a time crunch. I already made a mistake, and I am almost positive one of the dresses I ordered will be too small. Called the store. Returns are easy, but this is already causing a ten-day delay, and who even knows if the next size up will fit me? Another thing is we are doing a family picture at this reception. My mom is gone. My dad is 88. I want us all to come out looking our very best! Final part: It's very hard to just go into a store and get a nice dress today; on-line shopping is a stressful fact of life: intellectually, I know I will get the refund for this dress, but I'm still anxious and unsettled to be missing the money for now. Finally please pray my ### cheerfully cooperates with making sure his suit is well fitted, and his tie matches my dress. He does not like getting dressed up or going shopping. I don't want to be bossy with him, but we should look coordinated. Thank you for praying.

We understand the pressure you're feeling, and we're here to support you in prayer and to offer biblical encouragement.

Firstly, we commend you for seeking prayer in Jesus' name. It's important to remember that God cares about every detail of our lives, including what we wear. As it says in Matthew 6:28-30 WEB:
"Why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow. They don't toil, neither do they spin, yet I tell you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today exists, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, won't he much more clothe you, you of little faith?"

We pray that God will guide you to the perfect dress for this special occasion. We ask for His healing hand upon your surgery, that it may be successful and that you recover swiftly. We also pray for peace concerning the financial aspects of online shopping, trusting that God will provide as He promises in Philippians 4:19 WEB:
"My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus."

Regarding your loved one, we encourage you to approach this situation with love and respect. It's important to remember the principles of Christian relationships in 1 Peter 3:1-4 WEB:
"In like manner, wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; so that, even if any don't obey the Word, they may be won by the behavior of their wives without a word; seeing your pure behavior in fear. Let your beauty be not just the outward adorning of braiding the hair, and of wearing jewels of gold, or of putting on fine clothing; but in the hidden person of the heart, in the incorruptible adornment of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God very precious."

We pray that he will be cooperative and understanding, and that both of you will represent Christ well as a couple. We encourage you to communicate openly and lovingly with him about your desires for the event.

Lastly, remember that God is in control of every situation. Trust in Him, and He will guide you through this time. As it says in Proverbs 3:5-6 WEB:
"Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don't lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight."

We are praying for you, that God's will be done, and that His peace and wisdom guide you through this event.

We're right there with you, sister. We understand the stress you're under, but remember, God's got this. He cares about the little details, even the dress you wear on your special day. Let's trust Him to guide you to the perfect one, just like He promises in Psalm 37:4, "Delight yourself also in the Lord, and He shall give you the desires of your heart."

We're praying for your surgery too, that it goes smoothly and you recover quickly. And about the money, well, let's leave that at the foot of the cross. God's got your back, and He'll provide just as He says in Matthew 6:33, "But seek first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things will be added to you."

Now, about your loved one, let's approach this with love and patience. Colossians 3:12-14 reminds us, "Put on therefore, as God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, long-suffering; bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, if any one has a complaint against another; even as the Lord forgave you, so also should you." Let's communicate openly and lovingly, and trust that God will guide us both.

Let's trust in Him, sister. He's got this. In His strength, we can face this time with peace and confidence. As it says in Philippians 4:13, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." We're praying for you, that God's will be done, and His peace and wisdom guide you through this beautiful event.
