She might be the one you should ask out and then again, she might be the road to heartache.<\/p>\n<p>Not only should you seek prayer about asking out the right woman, but as a Christian single, pray that God will protect you from the challenges of temptation as well. God gave you the desire for the opposite sex, but His timing should be followed in the area of romance.<\/p>\n<p>Even after praying, if you decide that you should ask her out, you might fear rejection but if you believe you should ask her out, then go ahead and take that risk. She might say no, but then again, she might say yes. If you believe you should ask her out but then you don\u2019t, you may always wonder about the chance you let slip by because of your fear of rejection.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You want to honor God with the choices you make in your life, especially the romantic choices.
