Prayer for my future Husband





Heavenly Father, 

 I love you. Thank you for placing me in a Christian home, for saving me, and most of all for Jesus, who made all that possible. 

 Thank you for this season of singleness. You have used it in a mighty way to draw my heart close to yours and to make me love you more. The lessons I have learned through this are very precious. My heart overflows.

 I don't know if you have a husband out there for me or not so my first pray is that he would exist. If he does not exist may I not ever grow bitter but instead help me to always give thanks to you for all your goodness to me. Give me always your Spirit of joy. If he does exist let him never take your place on the throne of my heart.

 Father, if this man does exist I ask that you would be working on him even now. Please be the love of his life, first and foremost. May he treasure time alone with you and participate in individual worship every day. 

 May he be a faithful member of a faithful church, now and always. May he sing in church and at home. May he love each member of the church, the elderly to learn from them, the children to disciple them. May he have godly friends who he will continue to be friends with as we date and after we are married. May he be an encouragement to his church leadership and always be willing to serve with whatever may need doing. 

 May he be intelligent. May he know his Bible and doctrine and be a man of principle. May he encourage me to grow in grace, to spend time with you, and to think. May he love books and bring home books that are good for my soul. And Father, may he expect much of me, that I would not grow lazy or complacent. 

 May he laugh often. 

 May he be humble, patient, kind, forgiving, and wise. May he be willing to learn. May he be hospitable and friendly. May he know how to spend and save money and still give generously.

 May he have good relationships with his family members. And please let his family like me. And Father, please grant him a good relationship with my family, especially my father. 

 Please let him know how to fix stuff...and be willing to dispose of rodents. Father, you know how I can't deal with rodents. 

 Please give him a job that he loves, and even if he doesn't love it, may he still do his job because it's what you want him to do. And thank you, that he is willing to do his duty even when his desire is elsewhere. 

 Even with a good job may he love being at home and may he treasure home and family. May he be the pastor of our home, leading me and whatever children you give us in godliness. May he love me always...even when I'm really grumpy. And when I'm grumpy, may he remind me that it is sin and still give me chocolate. Dark chocolate. 

 Please let him have a serving heart that is willing to do mundane tasks. And may he not be a picky eater...I mean, I know how to cook, but not every meal will be great. 

 Father, I know you do all things well. If such a man exists and is to be my husband please prepare me to be a helper to him. Thank you, my wise God, for always doing what is best. And for telling me what I must do today and not overwhelming me with the future. Your grace is indeed sufficient. I love you.

Maybe It's Supposed to Be Hard

We want a whole, happy, calm life. We want to be healthy. In "crunchie" circles, people use essential oils, grow their own produce, and stop using plastics. In Christian circles, there is an idea, an ideology, gaining ground that presupposes a holistic, restful life is possible if one follows the spiritual disciplines of the desert fathers and mothers. Mysticism. Prayer, scripture, silence, solitude, sabbath, fasting, rest, etc. (If you're looking for a couple interesting reads on this topic you could see these books by Jefferson Bethke and John Mark Comer. ) I want a holistic, happy, balanced life. My kitchen contains wooden cutting boards and loose leaf tea. I begin all my mornings with homemade kombucha, prayer, quiet, and scripture. I do Pilates throughout the week and hold the Lord's Day as holy every Sunday.  And I'm tired. And I'm weary.  And I wonder if that's just how it is in this sin-soaked world as we run to Heaven.  After all, the Spirit tell

Being Single is Kind of Like Not Sleeping Through the Night

For as long as you can remember, you have been told that normal people sleep through the night. You've been trained to sleep through the night. The vast majority of your friends sleep through the night. Your entire family sleeps through the night. Everyone at church sleeps through the night. But you don't.  At first, a number of years ago, you were really frustrated about not sleeping through the night, and the frustration was compounded by people consistently asking questions as to your ability to sleep. Have you tried medication? Have you turned all your screens off before bed? Do you exercise? Do you drink caffeine in the afternoon? The fact of the matter is, you do all the things you're supposed to do, but you still wake up in the middle of the night, for apparently no reason.  You're confused and frustrated, so you pray. The next night, when it happens again, you pray. Soon, waking up in the night has changed from a time of frustration to a time of worship and gett

4 Ways to Help Single People

It is very likely that not all single people will completely agree with the list I'm about to share with you, because no two people are alike, but I've heard similar things from single people that I follow online and think it will be helpful to share these. If nothing else, let this post lead you to have conversations with the single people in your life and find out what would  be helpful to them.  1. Hug Them I'll admit, I'm not much of a hugger, but a few months ago another woman I follow recommended to her audience that they begin hugging their single friends and I've been thinking about it since. Now (due to a change in my life) I'm seeing certain friends more often than I had been, and I am also receiving more hugs; this is good for me . In particular, it is good for me that one of my guy friends often gives me a hug when I see him. I don't mean that in a sensual sense, I mean it in a brotherly sense. The quick hug he offers tells me that I am seen, I
