My prayer.

I long for transparency before God and men. This is my prayer of many years. I’m praying, claiming, and believing. God is faithful.

Dear Lord,

As I’ve been asking for many years now, I come to You again to ask that you would raise up a man of God who is well-respected, a musician, extremely intelligent, a visionary, and a dreamer who is bold, confident, outgoing, funny, sincere, caring, full of integrity and is passionate.
I realize marriage is not about me, my husband, or our relationship, but ultimately it is about Your plan and what you can accomplish through the two of us together rather than apart. We will both be called by You and be people of great integrity, and together we will be an unstoppable force to be reckoned with. One can put a thousand to flight, but two can put ten thousand to flight.
My one desire is to come alongside my husband and be his ezer kenegdo. I want to be his confidant, his closest friend, his number one fan, and his greatest encourager. I want to be the arms and legs to his God-given vision and lift up his hands when he becomes weary. I want to add value and do him good all the days of my life. I want to submit to him as the spiritual authority as he in turn submits to You. I want to relinquish rights as the head of the household and the responsiblity as the breadwinner. I am tired of carrying these burdens as a single woman that were never meant for me to bear.
I want him to fight for me, pursue me, love me, and cherish me. I want him to care about my opinion and respect my intuition as I hear from the Lord too.
I look forward to the good days and the bad days alike. You don’t get angry with someone you don’t care for. I look forward to the fights and arguments because once resolved, they’ll cause us to be even stronger, like minded, and like hearted.
I want a man who will love me more than he loves himself. You promised me You have someone for me who will “love me more than I could ever imagine.” I know he won’t be perfect; neither am I, but I will love him just the same as I hope he does for me.
I ask for a man with a dream and a vision so we can dream together and let nothing be our limit because with You, all things are possible.
I want to never take him for granted, never let the sun set on our anger, and never forget to thank You for him.
I trust in You, Lord.

I believe You have a husband for me who is a man like Joseph, Your earthly father, who will forever be regarded as a righteous man. He hears and recognizes Your voice and acts quickly without question or hesitation when You speak.
You have a man with a clear vision for me like Joseph. Because his vision is clear, he is able to walk according to his inner principles and according to Your word as he is led by the Holy Spirit.
You have a man of God for me who, like Elisha, has a mantle placed upon his life and walks boldly in Your annointing.
You have a man of God for me who, like David, has a heart for You.
You have a man of God for me who is recognized for his unwavering faith even in the midst of impossible circumstances, like Abraham, and keeps claiming the promises of God.
You have a man of God for me who will have favor upon me, value my unique gifts and abilities, and will protect my integrity and purity the way Boaz did with Ruth.
You have a man of God for me who will trust in the godly wisdom you’ve placed around him in choosing a wife just like Isaac trusted his father’s servant to be led of the Lord to find his wife Rebekah.
You have a man of God for me who will seek wisdom and not riches like Solomon.
You have a man of God for me who will lavish me with love as his wife just like you sacrificially love the church as the bride of Christ.
You have a man of God for me…
Thank you for Your faithfulness, Lord.

Every good and perfect gift is from above. James 1:17

Make haste, my beloved, and be like a gazelle or a young stag on the mountains of spices. Song of Solomon 8:14
