What are divine appointments, and should we pray for them when looking for love?

What is the difference between a divine appointment, a movie ‘meet-cute’, or just simply serendipity? In biblical terms, a divine appointment is when God sets the stage for a meeting that changes everything, and Jemimah Wright says maybe we should pray for more of them.

This morning I was distracted by a video on TikTok, which has now gone viral with seven million views in which American Megan Baxter, who lives in London, shares her story. Understandably distraught by the Californian fires consuming her home town of Pasadena, Megan decided to book an Airbnb in rural Sussex to get away for the weekend. Apparently the place she booked was so rural, that the host offered her son to pick Megan up from the train station as there were no taxis. He happened to be handsome, single and her age. What followed was a Hallmark worthy weekend romance, and they are now a couple.
