Dear Future Spouse ... The Everyday Singles Prayer!!!

Atoke_writes
Dear future spouse,
 
I know that i don't know you or even have a clue as to who you might be. The fact is sometimes i wonder about you (OK maybe not just sometimes but actually a lot of times) lol….
Now before you get all scared and try and run with the "you are moving too fast " line, i need you to understand that i am at peace now, so don't fret.
I prayed for you today. I woke up and got all worked up like i usually do about you and all the mystery and hype surrounding you and i started getting pressured and all, so i went down on my knees and closed my eyes again, only to get a picture of you in my mind as “Taylor Lautner's face”(the wolf guy of Twilight), Dwayne Johnson's (the rock) body, and Anotnio Banderas' accent (if you were to speak). So with my image of you complete i set my mind to pray…..
 
"Dear Lord”,
 
I know that you have a plan for me, and i know that it was you who said that it is not good for ‘man’ to be alone. I am the one that you have made to eradicate someone's aloneness and i am thankful for that. I want to ask you to Take care of him and I ask that you please be with him. All i ask Lord is that you make him that man that you want him to be and help me become the woman whom he will be with to love and treasure.
I know that sometimes i let my imagination run wild (like with this current picture in my mind!) and i try to dictate how i want things to go, but in the end you are the one who knows whats's best for me and for him and for both of us. So please when next i sound all desperate and overtly worldly and unrealistic in my expectations, just calm me down and help to remember that all things no matter how bad, little or insignificant work together for the good of those who love you.
At this point i can very well say that i am thankful for the peace you have given to me concerning this matter, but may he not have the same peace that you have given to me o’, lo, please Lord so he can start searching for me and finally locate me soonest… Ok i think that was the desperate me again, so i take that last part back Your will Lord…. *Sigh*.
 
Thank you
 
Amen"
 
“Humph”, like i said, i am at peace now.
I am at peace with the fact that you are not here yet, and i am at peace with the fact that i may not meet you until later in my life, i am at peace with the fact that you may be younger than me, i am at peace with the fact that you may not be the prefect man of my dreams, but even so, i wish to know you and welcome you into my life and heart just like I did Jesus. I am willing and ready to accept you and love you as you are.
 
So yeah you maybe the guy who offered me a lift yesterday, or you could be the one who always calls out a greeting from across the estate on my way out of the house, and even if you are the guy who sat next to me in the BRT bus on my way to work, i am at peace and until we officially meet i will pray for you and learn to be a better better half waiting for you, that when people will see you with me they’ll say, "Yes, he found a good thing."
 
I have to get back to work now. But till we meet or till i have another one of these one-sided conversations, i trust God to keep you safe in His love.
 
I love you with all my heart.
 
Your peaceful-waiting better half.

funny enough i have always said that prayer before i ever read this, tho not same way but definitly same content, especially the part that says he wont have peace until he locates me and the one about him being alone without me. lols

Any fellow who prays with this mindset ought 2 enjoy marriage without regrets, d problem with most of us is that we don't allow natural laws (Gods will) to rule our affairs and most times we fail. I therefore add my voice in saying Amen!
