"May He grant you your heart's desires and crown all your plans with success!" - Psalms 20:4
I was 13 years old the first time that I prayed for my future husband, asked God that did not allow me to waste my heart on anyone else but my future spouse. I asked that the man who would capture my heart would first be captured by His. Since that day I have been praying for chastity of heart and body until we finally meet.
More than twenty years have passed and that desired meeting have not happened... yet. But I don't lose my hope and my faith, even when there are days that I feel sad and disappointed, I keep praying because I know that my future spouse is out there, and he could probably need some prayers.
I decided to write all those prayers for my future husband so I could create a habit of prayer that can continue on into marriage, because if I struggle today, chances are that my future husband is struggling too, so I thought that I should pray for him.
Even if I don't end up married, God uses prayer to change us, prayer turns us into people who trust God, so praying for my future husband will help me to trust God with my future. Trust that He knows what is the best for my life. And finally trust that He listens to our prayers: "When you call to me and come and pray to me, I shall listen to you. When you search for me, you will find me; when you search wholeheartedly for me," - Jeremiah 29: 12-13.
