Heavenly Father, 
Thank you for these promises you give us God.  Thank you for encouraging me in so many areas that I need encouragement God.  I know that the testing of my faith develops perseverance, that I will be made complete, not lacking anything when I overcome these tests.  I know that you won't give me more than I can handle with you by my side.  I know God that someone is out there for me.  You aren't pushing me toward celibacy...thank you for that.  You continue to promise me with hidden messages in the lives of these women...you acknowledge ways I can be a better woman and how I should be interacting with my future husband.  I know he is out there.  I pray for him constantly...many times daily.  He won't rest...his heart won't be at ease until you allow him access to my heart.  I pray for that unity God...sooner than later.  Let our hearts combine because you want it God.  Not because anyone is pushing it, not because I can't be patient and try to take control of it myself...but because your timing is key.  I plead with you God, but I know that all things work out for good.

Lord Jesus, King of kings....Father....Please fulfill these promises so that my hopes may blossom rather than weigh heavy.  

"I love you, all of my hope is in you.  Jesus Christ, take my life, take all of me."

Let this hope in my heart be as I pray it...it hasn't gone away.  Resist the devil and he will flee from you...make this hope a tree of life soon God.  Please.  I know you can do this.  For if I pray, pray without doubts.  

James 1:6-8
"But when he asks, he must believe and not doubt, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind.  That man should not think he will receive anything from the Lord; he is a double-minded man, unstable in all he does."

Faith, hope, and love....and the greatest of these is love...
