Hi there everyone,
I am so excited to learn more about you and your life! I'm starting a new blog series called "Ask The Prayer Lady" where I'll answer questions sent to me by email. I would love to hear from you and get your thoughts on some of the topics that interest you.
Please send your question to me by email, and I will do my best to answer it.
Our first question comes from a voicemail from a woman named Heather on the prayer line. She wanted to know if wearing pajama pants is a choice that honors The Lord. (There are NO SILLY QUESTIONS!)
Send your questions to theprayerlady7676@gmail.com with the subject "Ask The Prayer Lady"
"...I have a question about what I should wear at home. What do you think is appropriate to wear when one is not in public? I'm thinking of wearing my pajama pants and a t-shirt, but I just want to make sure that it's okay. I don't want to go against what God wants me to do. What would you advise? Are there any pajama dresses that you might recommend?..."
This is a really tough question to answer, but I'll do my best.
I think it would depend on why you are wearing pajama pants. If you are wearing them because you are lazy, then I would say no. Wearing pajama pants is not a good choice because it brings attention to the fact that you're lazy and you don't care how you look to others.
If, on the other hand, you have a medical condition that makes it difficult to wear a dress you may want to look into a modest pant. Maybe one that is pink and has womanly colors or flowers.
I know when I visit the grocery store with my kids, I love to wear my jeans and a T-shirt with my hair in a bun. But then I feel guilty because of what I present to the Lord. As women we have a responsibility – not only that if we are moving his message forward in this way we have so much more power with him saying the right things at all times. We need to be careful that.
Are you considering wearing pajamas while talking with friends and thus ‘sinning’? It is an offense to God, because you are not honoring Him in public. However, if you are at home alone, (Or your husband) there is no disgrace -- it's just an innocent piece of cloth between your body and clothes. We ask that as long as you are mindful of the difference between the two, you don't wear pajamas when going about life in public. The same risqué attitude exists even in t-shirts without sleeves or shorts without waistbands which have no modesty at all!
Hi Heather,
Thank you for your question! I'm sorry if I did not do a good job of answering. I hope that my answer enlightened you on the Lord and that He is present in your life. If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact me anytime. I will keep you and your family in my prayers.
I am looking forward to hearing from you soon and please don't hesitate to let me know if there is anything else I can help with.
