Waiting well...

So, I'm not going to lie. Today was a difficult day. I'm in the midst of starting a prayer group with some single friends to pray for our future husbands, and I honestly didn't imagine it would be this hard to get people to come. So far, I've hosted it for three months, one Saturday morning a month, and only one person has come in that time. Talk about feeling like a loser.
Each time, I prepare my house, and sit and wait.
I know that God calls us to act, and to stand up for good things even when no one follows. And that's my plan. I will continue to prepare, and wait. And pray, and wait some more.
I don't write this for a pity party, I really don't. I don't need the followers. I just want people to have a place where they can come and pray to God for marriage. To cry out to God about their future spouse - that he will be a man who is a leader, and will pursue them, and that it will be in God's timing.
As I've explained my heart for this time with friends who I invite to come, I've gotten lots of mixed responses.
"But, what if God doesn't have marriage in my future?" one person asked.
My response: We all pray for things that may or may not happen. And in those times, when God's answer is no, we grow closer to Him. We acknowledge our dependence on Him. We seek Him. Praying for a husband, and letting God know that we desire marriage is not a bad thing.
Other questions..."But it's such a personal thing to pray for. Why are we praying as a group?"
Well, God calls us to community. We grow closer by praying for one another. Why not pray as a group for each other to find a godly husband? Is it so far fetched to pray in that way? I can't imagine that God would want us to shy away from this subject.
Honestly, I didn't think I was stepping on that many toes trying to pray together for men to come into our lives. We are single. God has created marriage to be a good thing. I'm sick of sitting back and waiting for it to happen. As women, we are called to wait for men to pursue. At least in this way, I am taking my action to God, who, last time I checked was Lord of all. If there was anyone who could find me a husband, I think it would be Him.
Did I mention that I am passionate about this?
So, friends who read this, join me in prayer. Pray for me a husband. Pray for me to be strong in waiting. Pray for me to trust God in waiting. And not only to wait, but to wait well, taking everything to God.
