The recently held Singles Prayer outing in Harare on Saturday has sparked mixed reactions from the social media community.
A significant number of comments seemed to make fun of the gathering with some urging women to pray for money rather than men.
Below are some of the comments from readers:
Women of today don’t want men. They want money. These women should really be praying for high-paying jobs or businesses. They just don’t know it yet. So many women these days are saying they want out of marriage, but they can’t leave because they can’t take care of themselves or their kids if they leave. − Alvin Mutisi

Thank God I am not the one being prayed for. They look aggressive. So aggressive that if they get “the one” they will do ANYTHING to keep you. Meaning insecurity, paranoia, and even psychopathic behaviour. The best wife is a girl who you got whilst she didn’t HAVE TO pray for a husband. The one who you see as a wife without her having had to fast about it.

These guys are not praying for men to marry them. They are praying for a non-existent wealthy prince charming from the fairytales who will tolerate their toxicity. Actual human beings who want to marry them are there. They just don’t like them. − Câéser Cicero

Takawira Mazando you are very spot on. They are the same women who try to obtain salvation and think their own works will save them. Where in the Bible did Eve pray for Adam?
Instead the Bible says… “ He who finds a wife finds a good thing and obtains favour from the Lord”. I don’t blame them at all but their leaders who have manipulated the gospel to benefit themselves financially at the expense of human salvation. − Idah Makonese

Glory be to God hallelujah, we celebrate their weddings, proposal in Jesus name, Our God will never fail. And their prayers will never go in vein, yes their words will never go down, but it shall stand in the corridors of existence, you’re in our prayers also, He. Is too faithful to fail you, He is the same God you made it possible for Ruth to be married again, the same God who raised an Ophan to palace will do it again for you them. Amen. − Prince Takapiwa Machangani

Life will break you. Nobody can protect you from that, and being alone won’t either, for solitude will also break you with its yearning. You have to love. You have to risk your heart. Love is giving someone the power to destroy you and trusting them not to use it. − NOBLE SAVAGE

The devil is at work… For a woman was received and man was not deceived therefore every woman should submit to her husband. But it seems every woman is becoming single mother without husband.. ko nyoka ka ndiyo chete inobereka yosiya musango kozviraramira from day of hatching. − Mambo Mazungunye II
