I ask that first of all that You would forgive me for being so distant with You--my sin has separated us and I have had no right to be angry. I ask that You break down the wall that I have put up. You've shown me through various men of God that You do not want me to be alone--You don't want to hold back. However, I have been the one keeping You back by not wanting to trust You and for that I am so very sorry. I don't want to be separated from You. I realize that You are not a magic genie upon whom I can inquire about any wish/request, but You are my friend. You are the friend that sticks closer than a brother and I should be able to talk to You about anything.

Lord I don't want to hold out for someone who will never love me back. I thank You that he has been given to me as one of my dearest friends and that You continue to allow me to be a witness in his life. I ask that he would get saved and that my past issues with You would not hinder that in any way. Please allow him to see Christ the way You would have him to.

I ask that You would please send the person for me. Lord, I don't want to end up alone--I mean, I know I'm young but sometimes it feels so far away...like I'm chasing a pipe dream. Lord, please...I know You can do anything. I don't want to waste my time with men of my choosing or men who would take me away from the one You want me to end up with. Please, keep away any who might deter me from reaching the person I am meant for. I ask that only the one You want me to be with would come--that he would love me as a husband should and that I would be with him until Your return or until we are parted in death. I don't know where to look or where to go, but I ask that You would bring him into my life. Please, Lord--I don't want to hold onto my way any more. I want to submit to Your will.

I know that I do not deserve anything from You, let alone this man You've made especially for me. I just ask that You would have mercy on this wicked sinner and that You would please send him quickly. Please get him ready for me and I for him. Please send me the one You have.

I thank You in Christ's holy and precious name. Amen.

Father, thnk you for this young woman who is trying to reopen her heart to you despite the feelings she has struggled with. Thank you for the honesty of her prayer and thank you that you are listening from heaven. Father provide clear direction to this young woman that she may follow the path that you have for her life. Father in your kindness remove the sense of urgency that she has about her mate coming to her and replace it with your perfect peace and a willingness to wait on your timing. Father no matter what we want...you know what is best and when we wait on you and accept your will for us including your timing our lives are so much more content. That her pray for this man to come but with an understanding that he will when you have truly prepared him...so that her contentment in life will be full...to receive him before you have readied him will only bring pain and dissatisfaction so in your love for her give her patience to wait. Father...take away her fear of being alone...as woman we all feel that sometimes...but it is really important to put things into our lives that bring us joy...starting with you. Help this young woman to enjoy this time of singleness that she might learn more about herself and what makes her happy...outside of being in a relationship. She will need to know those things deeply even when she is with another as no man can be the center of our world...without feeling smothered. Let he work on her relationship with you and discover those things that bring her joy and engage in them...and when she least expects it the one for whom she waits will come. Let it be so Father...and thank you for loving us enough to hear our prayers. In Jesus name...Amen!
