"Please be with the marriages in this church. Be with the men. Make them fathers who selflessly lead their families with wisdom and love. And be with the mothers as they teach their children. Bless their patience and help them as they serve in their homes. Bless the children, keep them in your care that they will grow to love you. And be with the singles and give them the desires of their hearts. Amen." The desires of their hearts. Hmmm. What does that even mean? I hear people pray like this often and I always wonder what that prayer translates into. Has anyone ever stopped and asked a single person what the desires of his/her heart are? Or do we simply assume that the only desire a single person has is to be married and have a family? I can't speak for all singles but I wouldn't be surprised if for many that doesn't make it into the list of "top five desires". I'm sure, just as we are all made different but equal, that our desires vary
