0:00.0	I believe we're in the most confusing, isolated period of dating that we really ever have been.
0:05.2	And so I got to this point of desperation where I was like, Lord, this isn't going the way it should be.
0:10.6	Some of the things I'm doing are just not working and I really just need you to guide me through
0:16.4	this like I have complete blinders on.
0:18.6	Like I need you to step in.
0:20.1	And I think there were so many times where as a Christian woman wanting a godly marriage, I said, yeah, I'm praying for my future marriage. I want godly wisdom in that.

1:32.7	Welcome back to the Coffee and Bible Time podcast. I'm Ellen, your host,
1:38.3	and I'm so glad that you have joined us. If you've spent any time in the church as a single woman, you've probably heard a lot of well-intended encouragement about waiting. Words like God's timing is perfect,
1:47.0	or just trust him, or it'll happen when you least expect it. And while those statements are
1:53.7	true, they don't always help. For many women, the struggle isn't a lack of faith or effort. It's the confusion that comes with doing
