As I filled out the introductory information for this site I started thinking about how many years I have wanted to be married. I have never prayed for marriage in a way that I actually admit to God how much I want it and how I can't imagine Him putting this dream, this desire on my heart for so long if it didn't come from Him. My prayers have never been specific, they've always been asking that God's will be done, that He will show me the direction He wants me to go in His timing, and should it be something I don't like or want to do, that He will give me the strength to do it anyway. It seems awkward and foreign to pray specifically for the desires of my heart. Upon reflection however, I should be praying for these desires because I believe they come from God and if they don't, the only way I'll know is if I pray about them (a win/win situation). I ask for prayers that I will be able to pray boldly and ask God to bless me with a husband, to prepare the both of us for our lives together, and to help us both grow in our faith so we can better serve when God brings us together. For me, my prayer is that God will give me the faith that I need to KNOW that God will bless me with the desire of my heart.
