If It Weren’t for This App, We Would Never Have Met — Yet We Had Been Praying for Each Other for Years

Marcin never imagined that a dating app could become an instrument of Divine Providence. For years, he had prayed for someone with whom he could share not only everyday joys but, above all, faith and values that formed the foundation of his life. Yet in the real world, full of rush and random encounters, that other half seemed far away — invisible, yet deeply needed.

-“Alright, I’ll just try one more time,” - he said to himself one evening while sitting at his computer. Finally, he decided to create a profile on a dating site for believers.

-“If God allows it, I’ll find her here,” - he thought with a slight smile and a note of hope.

What happened next exceeded his expectations. After a few days of exchanging pleasantries, talking about favorite psalms and daily matters, Ela appeared — a woman whose profile was like an oasis of calm amid the city’s noise. Her photo was natural, and her description was clear: “I’m looking for someone to grow together in faith and love.”

Marcin felt this was exactly what he had been praying for all these years. He replied, remembering the words he often repeated in prayer: “Lord, lead me to the one you have destined for me.” Their conversations picked up pace but were never superficial. They shared Bible verses, exchanged reflections, and sometimes even joked about their little imperfections.

Ela once wrote: “Do you know that feeling when God works behind your back and suddenly everything starts to make sense?” Marcin answered with a slight smile: “Exactly. I feel like this app is God’s bridge between us.”

Though they lived dozens of kilometers apart, they felt a closeness that knew no distance. Their prayers, once lonely, now became a shared space — a place where they felt they were not alone.

After a few weeks, they decided to meet in person. They chose Sunday, a day full of symbolism and peace. When they met at the threshold of a small church, both felt this was no ordinary meeting but a fruit of God’s grace.

Ela looked at Marcin with a smile and said:

-“You know, I prayed for someone who would be not only my partner but also my spiritual companion.”

Marcin nodded, his heart beating faster.

-“Me too, Ela. And I think God answered our prayers.”

Their conversation over coffee after Mass was light but meaningful. They laughed about the fact that if it weren’t for this app, they would never have met — yet they had been praying for each other for years, unaware how close they really were.

Marcin thought about how often in life we forget that God works in the most unexpected places.

-“Internet? Online dating? Who would have thought that could be a tool of God’s will?” - he joked later with friends. But for him, it was clear: each of us has our own path, and sometimes that path goes through clicking “SEND MESSAGE.”

Their story reminded him that faith is not only prayers and church but also opening the heart to new possibilities and having the courage to trust God in every situation.

Today, Marcin and Ela share this story with others, showing that even in a world full of technology and noise, one can find true, deep love — a love that not only unites two people but above all brings them closer to God.

And although their meeting began with a simple app, for them it was something much more — confirmation that God has a plan for everyone, sometimes hidden in the most unexpected place.

Because as the saying goes, “When God closes one door, He opens a window.” In their case, that window was this very app. And the rest? That’s the story they write together, day by day, with God in their hearts.
