Let Us Pray: Singles

Dear God,

I love You with all of my heart. I am so thankful to you, for this time as a single woman. I am

thankful for the time to be fully devoted to you and you alone. I am thankful for the opportunity to prepare for my husband and to be the wife that you have purposed me to be. I know that you have a plan for my life that is more than amazing. I pray Lord God, that as you are preparing me and positioning me to become the woman my husband-to-be, needs and deserves, that you are doing the same to him. Lord God, even now, I pray for my  heavenly husband-to-be. I pray that wherever and whoever he is, you are with him and that you are leading and guiding his every step. I pray Lord God, that he would continue to seek you First and acknowledge you in all of his ways. I pray that you would shower your wisdom and vision upon him, that he would not see as the world sees, but through your lens.

God, help me and guide me. My heart's desire is to be pleasing unto you. I present my body as a living sacrifice to you. It is my desire to be a VIRTUOUS woman, and to one day present my body as a gift unto my husband, on our wedding night. I know that as we honor you - before marriage, you will honor and bless our marriage throughout the rest of our lives. I recognize that this sacrifice is

such a small price to pay, and pales in comparison to the sacrifice that you made on the cross, for me, when I was yet a sinner. Thank you, Jesus. I also recognize that your ways are HIGHER than our ways and although, we can't always see the reason for some of what we are called to do, we are obedient regardless and walk in faith, but God, I thank you for the direction to remain celibate. I thank you for making plain to me, all of the benefits of doing so. I see the calamity in the world, the broken homes, fatherless children, disease and death, pain and heartache, regret and disappointment... Thank you God, for protecting me from all of the dangers, evils, and perils in the world. I know that as long as I reside in You, I am safe. Thank you, my dear sweet Heavenly Father. I love you SO much. Thank you, for as long as I have been celibate I have never regretted the decision to be so. Thank you for the wisdom and understanding that my husband-to-be will not only respect my decision to honor you [and wait], but he will fully support it. My virtue is as important and precious to my husband-to-be, as it is to you.

Lord God, I pray that you strengthen and renew my spirit. I know that your grace is sufficient. Lord God, I pray that you would speak to my heart, guide, and direct me, so that once my husband-to-be is in front of me, I will know with every ounce of my being that he is my Heavenly Husband. I know that you would never leave nor forsake me. I know that, in me, you have placed a grand destiny and purpose, in which, my husband will play a critical role, in that he will encourage and support me, challenge and push me, and cover and care for me. I know that any one other than my Husband-to-be, is not sent of you and would serve as nothing other than a distraction and hindrance. I would much rather wait upon my heavenly husband-to-be and for the lives of others to be blessed by my obedience, than to waste time in a relationship that does not bring you glory, that does not allow your purpose for my life to manifest. Thank you God for using this time to show my how precious I am in your sight. I pray that you would continue to use me as you see fit. I love you with me whole heart, and I am so happy to know that my heart, is in YOUR HANDS and You will and have taken better care of it, than I ever could. Thank you, Jesus!! In Jesus' name, amen."
