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.

Back in Time

I pulled into the laneway of a home that I'm sure would have looked quaint if I could have seen it through all the trees. The sign by the road read "hanging baskets and railroad ties" and lo and behold that was just what I was looking for (I mean the railroad ties, not the hanging baskets).  I parked close to the grass incase a buggy had to get by and slipped out of the red mini van. I didn't see anyone. That, however, does not mean that someone did not see me. I strolled over to look at the flowers to wait for someone to come out and see what the crazy girl with the pony-tail was doing on their property. A large dog, missing his right eye, managed to find me first and it was while I was petting this friendly, half blind, beast that the house seemed to spit out a young lady. She was wearing a long dress, an apron, and a head covering. She walked toward me with a smile and I recognized her from a singing I had gone to at the neighbors place a few months earlier. I ...

Gifts; A Joyful Face

I sat at the booth and checked my phone to make sure my friend knew where to find me. She had just parked and was walking over. Perfect. I ordered a cup of tea and was contentedly sipping on it when she entered. Seeing me immediately, she made a beeline for our table, took her seat, and looked up.  Her face was filled with joy as she asked how I was.  "I'm good," I said, slightly amused. "Why are you so happy?" "Oh," she shrugged. "I just am."  "I have set the LORD always before me; because he is at my right hand, I shall not be shaken. Therefore my heart is glad, and my whole being rejoices." ~Psalm 16:8-9a "As in water face reflects face, so the heart of a man reflects the man." ~Proverbs 27:19 Amidst all the sorrow and anger and fighting of our broken world this woman's face stood out. The joy in her eyes reflected the joy of her heart; a heart that had spent time with Jesus.  Throug...

Mending your Fence

Since the weather has been warmer than usual this past week I've noticed some strange happenings in day to day life, both in the world and in the church. Somehow it seems that one of our good friends wants to be seen more and more, her name is Skin. Skin does not really like to be covered up by clothing when it is nice and warm out so we give her her lead and let her soak up one of her best friends, Sunshine. This is all fine and dandy for Skin and Sunshine but there is a problem with one of our other good friends, Eyes. Eyes LOVES winter because that's when Skin is controlled in the wonderful boundaries of clothing. However, when spring comes around it's as if Skin is too strong for the fence of clothing and she is let free to run wild. This causes a lot of trouble and anxiety for Eyes. Eyes wants to glorify God by not tempting the heart it's involved with to lust. Now, what God created Eyes for was to look at things and to see the good things God has done. It's tr...
