Dear God in heaven
Holy is Your name
Thank You for raising me up until this day
I have been very blessed to be able to know You, to be saved by You
And Im thankful for whatever I endurein this world so far
Both the good and the bad
Because I believe that whatever happened, it was Your plan
(Submissiveness)
Dear God,
Today, let me utter this cry, this hope God, this is my prayer
If this is Your will, let it be done inYour time
But if it is not, please show me Your ways
(My needs)
God, You know my need of a life partner,
someone, just one woman, tobe my wife
I need someone with whom I will build a family that will serve You everyday (Joshua 24:15)
I need someone that when we both together,
we will be more effective to serve You (Ecclesiastes 4:9)
Since the beginnings You've said
that it is not good for man to be alone (Genesis 2 :18)
And You know inside out the every reason
why it is not good for me to be alone
The passion to relate with the opposite gender
that You have installed in me is so strong
I dont want to burn in passion
like what Your apostle Paul advised us (1 Corinthians 7:9)
Because love is as strong as death (Song of Songs 8:6)
(My requests)
Your servant is weak and tired Lord
Im tired of the searching process that I have endured since many years ago
I dont want to divide this heart of mine to someone not of Your choice anymore
Therefore, please Lord, if possible, that the next one will be the final one
The one that You have provided for me
The one who fears You and put You as number one and Im number two (Proverbs 31:30)
The one who can accept me as what I am
The one whom I will love for the rest of my life as You have love the church (Ephesians 5:25-31)
The one who will love me back in return (Ephesians 5:22-24)
She may or may not known to me at the moment
But when we meet tell me Lord
let me know that she is Your choice for me
Tell her Lord
let her know that Im Your choice for her
Let the feelings towards each other grow
(My worries, about myself)
But God
I come with my own family background
my character, my vision, my self
will she be able to accept that?
I have many very bad characters
will she able to accept that?
Can she accept me as what I am?
God, I still have many other reasons to worry
And I'm really worried
(My worries, about her)
God,
I hope that I can find a wife of noble character,
but who can find her? (Proverbs 31:10)
She will also carries her family background,
her character, her vision, her self
will her vision be compatible with mine?
I think Im tolerable enough,
but can I fully accept her character as she is?
Am I strong enough to accpet her as what she is?
God, I still have many other reasons to worry
And I'm really worried
(Lessons learned)
But God,
You have allowed me to learn the process of relationship
with all those that I've endured
You have been with me alwyas
During all the happiness and all he bitterness
I have learned that it takes more than just feelings towards each other.
It also takes more than just sacrifices
And that without Your intervention all relatinship will not succed
This time we will always keep you in our plan
(The Hope)
So please God
When You finally let me meet her
Let our future relationship ends up in a firm decision of marriage
And our marriage receives Your favor (Proverbs 18:22)
On that day, I will say to her:
"You are bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh" ( Genesis 2 :23)
"Now, let both of us do great things for Him in the future"
(Closing statements)
Finally, dont worry God
You will still be number one and she will be number two
And I believe that she will be fine with that :)
In Jesus name I've prayed
Please answer this prayer in Your time
and Give Your servant a heart patient enough to wait
and let her know of this prayer too
Thank You.
Amen
(Grace Suryani, 2001)
