To celebrate Valentine's Day this year, I wanted to write out a prayer for my future husband wherever he may be!
Dear Heavenly Father,
Thank You for always hearing me when I pray to You. You have been so faithful and gracious to me all the days of my life. I am in awe of Your love for me. Your love has set me free and given my life purpose. I live so that others may know and experience Your love for them in Your Son, Jesus. Your will and Kingdom, Your face, and Your glory, honor, and praise are all I seek in life.
My relationship with You will always be the most important relationship I ever have. What I have with You is greater than anything else. You are my life, my freedom, my joy, my everything. I am absolutely nothing without You; Yours is all of the glory for everything good and beautiful in my life.
When the time is perfect, I believe that You will write the most wonderful love story for me with the man You have chosen. I don't expect him to complete me or to take Your place; He will never mean more to me than You. You are and will always be my first love and I pray that Your love for me and Your love for him will be the foundation of our relationship. May our love reflect Your love, a divine and holy love that inspires others to know You and live their lives for You. Guard each of our hearts and guide each of us by Your Holy Spirit so that we become the people You created us to be and fulfill the purposes You have for us, individually and together.
Please let my future husband know that I am waiting and praying for him, that You are working everything out. Let us both trust You and look to You always. Keep our eyes fixed and our hearts steadied on Jesus. Lead us each step toward one another by Your Holy Spirit and continue to lead us every step after by Your Holy Spirit. Continue the good work You have started in both of us always. Allow us to participate - as singles and then as a couple - in great ways in seeing Your kingdom come and Your will be done here on earth as it is in Heaven.
Fill our hearts with Your love and use every minute of our singlehood to prepare us for the adventure of marriage and family and ministry together one day. Strengthen, encourage, lead, embolden, inspire, perfect, bless, and set us apart for Your glory. Give us a vision for our lives right now, for when we get married, when we have children, and for every season You have planned for our lives together.
May our love and marriage be everything You want it to be. Let us not miss anything You have for us! May we both surrender the pen and allow You, the Author of life and God of love, to write a God-honoring and Christ-centered love story for us.
I look forward to the love story You will bring into my life, but my dreams for the future don't overshadow my joy in the present today in this moment. You are more than enough for my heart and on this Valentine's Day, I celebrate Your great love for me and what You are doing in my life right now. I am in absolute awe of who You are. Keep my heart always seeking Your heart - to love You with all that I am and to love others as Jesus has loved me.
I ask all of this in humble surrender and eternal gratitude, by faith and for Your glory. Thank You in advance for the love story You will write! I am expectant and excited to see Your glory in this area of my life. Thank You, Heavenly Father, for Your marvelous light and the beauty and adventure of life following Your Son by the power of Your Holy Spirit.
In the mighty, holy, sovereign name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
Love,
Your daughter forever
