A Testimonial about the Power of Prayer and God’s Love – Part 1
How I prayed for my husband
I remember how as a young girl, I would wish on a star that someday I may meet the man of my dreams, my prince charming. And of all the good characteristics that I could wish my prince to have, only 2 things mattered; that he is handsome and kind-hearted.
Years later, I fell in love. Went broken-hearted then fell in love again. Went broken-hearted AGAIN then fell… Oh, you know the cycle.
The relationships I had before I met my husband were of weak foundation. Those were years of on and off tango with uncertainty; of good and bad times; of hoping and some more hoping. Each relationship, I would hope that the guy would be the one.
It was when I broke up with my ex-boyfriend in college, that I realized this has to change. I prayed. I thanked the Lord for the beautiful memories and for the lessons I learned. Then I said to myself, the next relationship I will have should be right one. I made the decision that I will not get in a relationship if it’s not for keeps. I was tired of wishing and hoping. I used to say: “I wish we end up together; I wish he would straighten up; I hope he is Mr. Right this time; I hope God would give me the man of my dreams”.
I started praying for the Right Man.
This time, I prayed to the Lord to “Bless me with a righteous man that I can spend my whole life with”. September of 2002, I started this personal prayer to the Lord:
Lord bless me with a righteous man, the man that I will spend my whole life with; the man that I will start a family with; with You in the center.Lord, I pray that he may have faith in you. I pray that he is strong emotionally and spiritually, so that when I am down, he will give me strength. Lord I pray that he is kind-hearted, compassionate and just. I pray that he may be resourceful, hard-working and a happy worker, so that he will find inspiration in me and our children in his responsibility to provide for our family.I pray that he may have a patient heart, especially when there are times that I and the people around us tend to be stubborn. I pray that he may be able to make me laugh. So we can laugh together with our kids, and make our relationships stronger. In this prayer for the Man of my life; Lord I pray:Help me prepare emotionally and spiritually. I pray that I may be ready when you deem it time for us to meet. I know that you will answer my prayer in your good time. And when it is time, I know that you will guide me.Amen.
