Imperishable Beauty

Ever wonder why we pray for divine connections? Is it even biblical? Are there any examples in Scripture to support these types of prayers?

In this episode, host Enid Bozic will set the record straight on praying for divine connections. By using examples from Scripture like the story of Abraham’s servant who was sent out to find a wife for his master’s son, Isaac, she'll show you what God actually intends for us to do and be instead, a divine connector.

Here's an excerpt: 

"For years, I've heard from the pulpit and from mentors and friends about divine connections, that we’re to pray for these, that God has ordained relationships in our lives before they came to be. I even read once about how our first divine connection is with our parents and that God has selected them because they know exactly how to raise us. But that doesn’t resonate well with me because of my own traumatic upbringing and listening to the stories of others who I’ve known who were raised by an absent single parent who never wanted to be a parent to begin with, or by someone who was very abusive, whether it was physically, emotionally, mentally, spiritually, or all of the above. Don’t get me wrong, as a parent myself, I know that parents are trying to do their very best. I just had a hard time thinking that our parents are our first divine connection.

"I’ve also had a few friends over the years who were obsessed with praying for divine connections. They believed that if they asked, God would provide a person or two that would help them attain their goals in life, both professionally and personally. Then they would meet someone and think, “Oh, this is my divine connection” only to walk away from that relationship a few months or years later when it didn’t pan out the way they had hoped."
