God, look after my future mate. Send him blessings and let him sleep well this night. Let him know that I am out here waiting for him. God, let us not get jaded or cynical about dating, love, and finding the suitable mate which you made us for. There are so many men and women out there, ready to grab what is right here, right now and with anyone that is available. Let us not be tempted be opportunities like that. Let us be able to walk away from choices given to us like that and keep to the right path that will lead to each other and to you. If we fall of this path, please catch us and bring us to the right path again. I love my future mate more than anything in this world. I know he loves me the same. Please, bring us together. You will know when it is right for us.

Let us dream of each other and hold each other. Let us hear each other�s voices in our dreams. I want to curl up with him and just sleep beside him. God, look after him and take care of him. Bless him with strength and patience. Bless his family with happiness and abundance. Bless our friends with peace and contentment. Take away all our worries. I trust in you Lord.

Dear Jesus, I know many single people who are in search of that special someone. Please teach each of us to learn from you and listen to your messengers, so that we will be able to recognize the one you have in mind for us.
Thank you for being patient when we choose a different path. Sometimes we think we know better and take a little more time to come around to your way of thinking. Help us wash away our fears and break those old bad habits that have been getting us into trouble, preventing us from having healthy relationships.
Show us how to manage our time better in our busy lives so that we can make new friends. As you know, friendship is a good way to get to know a person before entering into a romance.
In addition, Lord, give us Your guidance to become people of good character and prepare us to meet our new mate. We ask this in your precious name. Amen.

Dear Lord, You said that it is not good for us to be alone. You made us for each other. However, Lord, I find it so hard to find that mate who would be a good spouse. Help me, Lord, to put this yearning for marriage in its proper place.
Lead me, Lord, to the one whom You choose for my spouse. While I wait for You to reveal Your will in this matter, help me to know myself better. Help me to address those areas of my life which are disordered and which would interfere with my having a successful marriage. When my desire to find a spouse becomes all-consuming, help me to relax and practice patience. Help me to invest in healthy friendships which bring me closer to You and which will assist me in making such an important decision. It is so natural, Lord, to seek love.
Teach me to seek You first and to learn to give love before I try to receive it. Help me to remember that whatever journey this life leads me on, You are always present, always offering companionship, and always filling my deepest need. I offer You, Lord, my loneliness and my longing for marriage. I wait for You to lead me to Your perfect will for me in this and all things. Amen.

Dear Heavenly Father, You said, "It is not good that man should be alone," I come to you asking your help to find my life partner. I pray to You for guidance, for I am Your child, and You are my loving and heavenly Father. As I seek to assume my place in life and fulfill my mission, I long to share my love with another, to establish a home and to raise a family.
In Your tender mercy, direct me to a companion who will appreciate me and return my love. I do not want to be alone, but would prefer to share my joys and sorrows with a beloved mate. Hear my prayer for the sake of Him who blessed marriage by His presence during His ministry on earth. Amen.

Dear God, Thank you for the gift of marriage. Thank you that this is Your will for my life. If it truly is Your will that I find someone one day and commit my life to them, I ask that You ensure this happens.
Lord, I do not know who my future husband is. I do not know where he is, and I do not even know if I have ever met him or not. Whomever he is and wherever he is, I ask that You watch out for him. I pray that You lead him, protect him, provide for him, and teach him Your Truth. I pray that You provide these things for him until he is finally betrothed to me.
Also Lord, help me develop into the Godly woman You have called me to be. May I reflect Your Mother, who is the true model of femininity. Mold me into the future wife You want me to be, and mold my future husband into the man You wish for him to be. I pray these things in the name of Your Son, Jesus Christ. Amen.

A Letter to My Future Husband
This could be a letter to nobody. To the air. To the moon. To whoever is listening. I may never get married--only God knows-- but I felt like writing a love letter to somebody�so why not him? He, who is a distant figment of my imagination, but maybe if I start envisioning myself in a relationship I can move closer to ditching that baggage.
My Dearest Husband:
I know you are out there. I might be 86 by the time we meet, but at least we will have finally found each other. I can feel you if I shut my eyes tight enough. I know you will love me as no one ever has. I know you will understand me. You will help me open myself up, let myself go. I think your patience will compliment my stubbornness. You will be the calm to my storm and I to yours.
Magic. It exists. I have seen it. Have you? Or have you just seen glimmers of it? You must believe in it though, because you are my future husband and that is a job requirement - one of the reasons why I will love you so much.
You are my everything. Your eyes. Your nose. Your heart. Every little piece of you resides in my soul and someday all of those little pieces will be in front of me and be a real part of my life - talking, hugging, loving and laughing.
So�where are you? When are you going to pop into my life? How is it going to happen? Will we ever even meet?
I wonder what you are doing right now. It is a Monday night. You are probably home. Working on something. I think you like to work a lot�or maybe you have finished working and you are reading, writing or creating before you crawl into bed.
I also wanted to tell you that I am not ready to meet you yet. Almost�but not quite. I am working on it. I promise we will meet. I can feel it in my soul.
