Finding a Mate
Father, I come before You in the name of Jesus,
asking for Your will to be done in my
life as I look to You for a marriage partner.
I submit to the constant ministry of
transformation by the Holy Spirit, making
my petition known to You.
Prepare me for marriage by bringing everything
to light that has been hidden--wounded
emotions, walls of denial, emotional isolation,
silence or excessive talking, anger or
rididity [name any wall that separates you
from healthy relationships and God's love
and grace]. The weapons of my warfare are
not carnal, but mighty through You, Lord,
to the pulling down of strongholds.
I know the One in Whom I have placed my
confidence, and I am perfectly certain that
the work, whether I remain unmarried or
or marry, is safe in Your hands until
that day.
Because I love You, Lord, and because
I am called according to Your plan,
everything that happens to me fits into
a pattern for good. In Your foreknowledge,
You chose me to bear the family likeness
of Your Son. You chose me long ago;
when the time came You called me, You
made me righteous in Your sight, and then
lifted me to the splendor of life as
Your child.
I turn my back on the turbulent desires
of youth and give my positive attention
to goodness, intergrity, love, and peace
in company with all those who approach You,
Lord, in sincerity. I have nothing to do
with silly and ill-informed controversies
which lead inevitably to strife. As Your
servant, I am not a person of strife. I
seek to be kind to all, ready and able to
teach. I seek to be tolerant and have
the ability gently to correct those who
oppose Your message.
Father, I desire and earnestly seek
(aim at and strive after) first of all
Your Kingdom and Your righteousness (Your
way of doing and being right), and then
all these things taken together will be
will be given me besides. So I do not
worry and will not be anxious about
tommorrow.
I am persuaded that I can trust You
because You first loved me. You chose
me in Christ before the foundation of the
world. In Him the whole fullness of Deity
(the Godhead) continues to dwell in bodily
form [giving complete expression of the
divine nature] and I am in Him, made
full and have come to the fullness of
life [in Christ].
I am filled with the Godhead--Father, Son
and Holy Spirit--and I reach toward full
spiritual stature. And He (Christ) is the
Head of all rule and authority [of every
angelic principality and power]. So,
because of Jesus, I am complete; Jesus
is my Lord.
I come before You, Father, expressing
my desire for a Christian mate. I
petition that Your will be done in my
life. Now I enter into that blessed rest
by adhering to, trusting in, and
relying on You.
In Jesus' name, amen.
