PLEASE, please, please listen carefully to the lessons from this week in our book <i>A Daughter\u2019s Worth<\/i>. This week is all about exploring the rewards and responsibilities of letting God be your matchmaker\u2026.. and accepting God\u2019s plan for your life!<\/p>\n<p>I know there is so much pressure in your day-to-day lives from friends and the media telling you that you MUST have a boyfriend. I can understand you WANTING one\u2026 I wanted one too, when I was your age. I wanted one so badly (because all of my friends had them and I felt left out\u2026) that I didn\u2019t make the best choices in dating. As an adult, I am still dealing with the insecurities that came from those relationships, too. I was too impatient and was not willing to hold out for what GOD had for me, and I pray that through studying God\u2019s Word this week, you will be\u00a0EMPOWERED by all of the things you CAN DO through God\u2019s supernatural strength in dating.<\/p>\n<p>This week, we will explore how\u2026.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<div style=\"text-align: left;\">You <strong>CAN<\/strong> choose the right guy to date<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div style=\"text-align: left;\">You <strong>CAN<\/strong> insist that boys treat you well<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div style=\"text-align: left;\">You <strong>CAN<\/strong> go too far<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div style=\"text-align: left;\">You<strong> CAN<\/strong> handle a difficult break-up<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div style=\"text-align: left;\">You <strong>CAN<\/strong> enjoy being single<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u2026And on Saturday, we will continue with Coleen\u2019s series: Lord Teach Us To Pray: Part 9<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #800080;\"><strong><em>A few words from Morgan\u2026..<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Hey girls\u2026 hope you are having a good week! This week is all about boys and relationships, which I have never done! I&#8217;ve never had a boyfriend but I have learned that God has such an AMAZING guy out there for you and that at the right time, He will reveal him and show you who you are supposed to be with. This week we will also talk about how you shouldn&#8217;t settle for less! <b><i>You are a princess in Christ<\/i><\/b>\u00a0and you should find a man of God that will treat you like that and nothing less, and PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE don&#8217;t ever lower your standards or not insist that you are treated right. So, I just want to do a prayer for this week that is along the lines of what I pray constantly. It has helped me just be content with being single.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0Let&#8217;s Pray:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>Dear God, thank you for the man of God that You have planned out for me and that You have found for me, God I just pray that You will give him strength to wait out for me, and if not, I will always love the same. God, give him comfort, and God please give me comfort. I pray that you will help me not settle for less, and wait it out for the right guy that You have for me. Thank you so much, I love you. In Jesus Name, Amen.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s just a simple little prayer, and even shorter at times, that I pray for my husband because I already know that I will love him so much. God has a plan, girls!<\/p>\n<p>**********************************<\/p>\n<p>For the A Daughter\u2019s Worth Bible Study, you will need the book, your Bible, pen or pencil, a highlighter and a quiet place.
