Prayer for a spouse
Most gracious Father, I come before You desiring a spouse with whom I may live out the sacred covenant of marriage. A spouse who will be my helpmate and friend: a supportive companion on our journey to your heavenly kingdom. A spouse who will rejoice with me in accepting children as the richest blessing you bestow upon husband and wife and who will share with me the joy of rearing them in the ways of faith.I pray for a spouse to whom I may entrust the deepest longings of my heart; who will accompany me through life's good tims and bad, its pleasures and pains, its joys and its sorrows, in sickness and in health, until that day we reach your kingdom where every tear will be wiped away and we shall see You, our God, as You are, and praise You forever.
Heavenly Father, as I ask that Your holy will be accomplished in my life, I am also confident that my desire to embrace the holy vocation of marriage will be brought to completion and that someday I will marry the person You have chosen for me. Grant me the grace of discernment so that impatience or despair may not obstruct Your plan. I trust the Holy Spirit to lead me and guide me so that when the hour comes, I may know that my choice and Yours are the same. For I know that it is only in doing Your Will that I will find my true happiness and peace.
I ask this through Our Lord, Jesus Christ, Your Son, Who live and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God forever and ever. Amen.
Thought I would try praying this prayer every night before bed and every morning when I awake. I can't hurt. Someone told me they prayed this prayer and found their spouse shortly after. I am feeling hopeful, and willing to try. For prayer never hurt anyone.

for a few years ago I asked: "God, I want to love you and believe in you, please give me a sign that you care about me and can hear me, do this one little thing for me." It was a good thing, for more than me, many would profit of it but nothing happened. I don’t say that God doesn’t exist because of that, but I wouldn’t rely on Him/Her. He does what he wants, which is not always what we want. maybe better try some other ways too, not just waiting for him to answer.

Yes, God has our future already mapped out. We know not what it holds, I just hope it's not to lead a single life. I have a strong desire to spend the rest of my life with one special person, and if it were not meant to be, why would my desire be so strong.
I know I need to get out and meet people, for that person will not just walk up to my door and knock. That would be a mircle, but anything is possible for nothing is impossible with God.
He knows our hearts desires, he knows what we are striving for. I just haven't found the courage and strength I need to go on my journey alone.
I am working on my inner strength, the possibilities of working through the fears and the past hurts to move forward and live a happy and fullfilling life.
May all of you be blessed with that special someone as well, and may they come into your life sooner then you expect. May your miricle be that of one true love, one everlasting love, and live your life to the fullest with that special someone.
