My short answer is: Yes, you should pray! And don't just pray for purchase Accutane without prescription needed yourself. Pray for your other single friends (men and women). Pray for the marriages among your friends and family.
Then open your purchase Accutane without prescription needed eyes to the many, many prayers He is answering. Every day, God is purchase Accutane without prescription needed bringing people together. So instead of sighing with self-pity when purchase Accutane without prescription needed you get that next wedding invitation, rejoice for the evidence of answered prayer!
To be purchase Accutane without prescription needed honest, I have not always rejoiced at the weddings of others. At least not initially. But the purchase Accutane without prescription needed more I've encountered the purchase Accutane without prescription needed faithfulness of God, the easier it has become. Taking note of answered prayers is purchase Accutane without prescription needed the best antidote I know for overcoming the forlorn assumption that purchase Accutane without prescription needed your own prayers go unanswered. Soon you will see an abundance of prayers are purchase Accutane without prescription needed answered every day, which balances out the long wait for other prayer requests.
In fact, these days I typically find it very easy to "rejoice with those who rejoice." Over the years, I've been purchase Accutane without prescription needed in many formal and informal prayer groups where women have petitioned the purchase Accutane without prescription needed Lord for husbands, asked God to bring more single men to purchase Accutane without prescription needed their churches, and interceded for the single men who are already there. The majority of each group is purchase Accutane without prescription needed now married. I can list dozens and dozens of men and purchase Accutane without prescription needed women alike who now have spouses-men and women of various ages, ethnicities, sizes, shapes, abilities, and purchase Accutane without prescription needed temperaments. And I take great delight in saying that because God is purchase Accutane without prescription needed no respecter of our arbitrary standards of who is "marryable" and who is not.
So, praise the Lord! Seriously! I'm not being flip. It's actually quite difficult to purchase Accutane without prescription needed take two self-centered people and move them toward making a purchase Accutane without prescription needed lifetime commitment to each other. Marriage is an act of grace in action.
Inevitably, though, when purchase Accutane without prescription needed I talk about praying for husbands, someone comes in a purchase Accutane without prescription needed theological tangle, wondering if God is good to me and purchase Accutane without prescription needed to anyone else who is still praying and still single. Should we even pray for purchase Accutane without prescription needed husbands? Is that acceptable? What if we pray and we remain single-what then??
My first answer is that of course God is purchase Accutane without prescription needed still good if we pray and remain single. Marriage is a purchase Accutane without prescription needed gift for this life alone. If we have received forgiveness for purchase Accutane without prescription needed our sins and life eternal, we have already received the biggest and best gift and one that is for all eternity. We didn't miss out on God's very best.
Secondly, if we are still alive, the story of God's grace in our lives is still being written. We don't know the future. Only He knows the beginning from the end (Is. 46:10 and Rev. 21:6) and purchase Accutane without prescription needed so it is arrogant to assume we can survey our circumstances and purchase Accutane without prescription needed conclude we know what God is doing. (See: Naomi. A woman who was so very sure God's hand was against her that she wanted to be called "Bitter." But as she stood complaining, she had purchase Accutane without prescription needed no idea that God was already at work to purchase Accutane without prescription needed provide food, a kinsman-redeemer, an heir, and even far more unexpectedly, a purchase Accutane without prescription needed place in the lineage of her Savior!)
Thirdly, we have purchase Accutane without prescription needed no other option, according to Scripture. Philippians 4:4-7 makes this very clear: "Rejoice in the purchase Accutane without prescription needed Lord always; again I will say, Rejoice. Let your reasonableness be purchase Accutane without prescription needed known to everyone. The Lord is at hand; do not be purchase Accutane without prescription needed anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your purchase Accutane without prescription needed requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your purchase Accutane without prescription needed hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." This passage makes it purchase Accutane without prescription needed very easy for us to understand that all we can purchase Accutane without prescription needed do is pray, be thankful, and avoid anxiousness, which leads to purchase Accutane without prescription needed bitterness. We're not in charge of the answers. We're in charge of the petitions. So, petition away!
But be thankful in those petitions. Since we're not the purchase Accutane without prescription needed omniscient, omnipotent, perfect, holy, just, and merciful Being in these transactions, we get to purchase Accutane without prescription needed be the grateful recipients. All the time. Without ceasing. "Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for purchase Accutane without prescription needed this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you" (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18).
What circumstances do you find yourself in today? Give thanks and purchase Accutane without prescription needed pray without ceasing. For as we keep our eyes on Him and purchase Accutane without prescription needed praise Him in all circumstances (the good, the happy, the hard, the confusing, the horrifying), we silence the purchase Accutane without prescription needed Accuser, the one who exists to blame God for not being good and purchase Accutane without prescription needed blame us for not being good enough.
Of this purchase Accutane without prescription needed I am supremely confident: When we see our Savior and purchase Accutane without prescription needed Redeemer face to face, we will not regret being thankful for purchase Accutane without prescription needed trusting Him, even in circumstances we could not control and purchase Accutane without prescription needed would not have chosen. We will see then by the purchase Accutane without prescription needed light of His glory all that He was doing in and purchase Accutane without prescription needed through those very moments. What seemed like unanswered prayer will be purchase Accutane without prescription needed set against the grand tapestry of His grace coursing through history. We will see what purchase Accutane without prescription needed He was doing ... and we will eternally praise Him for purchase Accutane without prescription needed it.
So pray without ceasing and purchase Accutane without prescription needed eagerly await what God does in and through these prayers.
