I’ve changed my prayer from “God send me a man” to “God position me and my heart for a husband”. Every male isn’t a man and every man doesn’t want to be a husband.
Specificity is required.
I’ve talked about it before, but I love the book 31 Prayers for my future Husband by Jennifer and Aaron Smith. The format of the book starts with scripture, a prayer she wrote that you pray from your heart and then open lined pages for you to write your own prayer.
This book has opened my mind to pray for more than just my future husband’s looks. This book covers his decision making, his friend groups, his family dynamics, his financial prowess, his level of contentment, insecurities, his heart, release from trauma and so much more! This book makes me pray more than the surface layer, it’s made me pray deeper prayers, as deep as the fibers of his being.
All of that to say, I wrote my own prayer in those blank lines and I wanted to share it here.
So for all my waiting women, this one’s for you.
I pay my husband doesn’t fear oversharing. That anything that comes to mind, bothers him or he just feels like elaborating about, I want him to want to come to me. Every decision we both make will affect each other, our future, our family, our friends and children. May you bless him and I to be good decision makers based on biblical truth. I pray he will have a soft heart for God and myself. That he would be tender, gentle and protective. I pray that I can love him in the way Jesus loves and according to the way my husband wants to be loved. I pray humility over us. Not lack of confidence or boldness, but understanding that we are owed nothing. I pray in that humble mentality we can mentor, be mentored, give and grow. May my husband’s heart be more beautiful and attractive than his outward appearance. May his personality be a beautiful light that will light up my world. Oh God, mold my husband to do great things you need him for. Never let me come before you. Before he kisses me in the morning, let him greet you with a holy kiss. Before greets me, let him meet you in prayer. Before he blesses me, let him know of your blessings through his intimacy with you. The best way my husband can love me, is to love and serve you.
In Jesus’ name, Amen!
We don’t have to be obsessed or hyper-focused on the wait for a husband. If we are, the enemy can use that as a tool to keep up focused on the one thing we don’t have (yet) to keep us from thanking God for all we do have. God hears and knows what you need, who you need and when it will come. Keep praying, but don’t be dismayed. God is in control!
See you next week!
