Okay...seriously i gotta admit this.Perhaps it's really time for me to find a suitable right one as my husband....
Wonder why most of my frens even colleagues have been urging/persuading me to start finding one soon....
Yeah i noe i did mention before that i want to settle down early, BUT how to when my fate hasnt come yet?
Just recently, newspaper n Tv has been broadcasting bout the overwhelming response over people queueing up at the ROM on 6th June 2006 (06/06/06)....me?? I'd rather prefer to choose 07th July 2007 (07/07/07). It's just such a nice number dun u think so?
Firstly, it's my personal fav num. Secondly, it's Jesus no. Wonderful & awesome isnt it?? If that's really the case den i only have a year left...??! Arrg~!!!
A Christian colleague of mine recently lent me a prayer book. Prayer which is supposed to move your mountains. Happened to glance thru e pages n found an interesting one which says "To find a husband"....(*now what the......*)
Anyway, here it goes:
"Lord God, Your Word declares that if i delight myself in You--if i enjoy You & seek Your pleasure above mine--You will give me the desires of my heart(Ps. 37:4). Desiring a husband is neither evil nor selfish bcos marriage is honorable (Heb. 13:4).
At the beginning of creation You proclaimed, "It is not good that man shld be alone" and then You created Eve to be a suitable partner for Adam (Gen 2:18). In the name of Jesus, I ask that You would release the husband--a suitable partner--You have chosen for me.
Becos the covenant of marriage is sacred (Mark 10:9), I ask for a man of God.Please give me a husband whose love for me is out-matched only by His love for You. A man who will cherish me and build me up (Prov 31:28). A man who will honor me (1 Peter 3:7) and our marriage vows. A man who is a good father and provider. A man whom i will be attracted to physically, emotionally, and spiritually. A man who will love me as Christ loved the church (Eph 5:25).
Restrain me from attaching myself to another man out of desperation. I will not settle for a relationship tat is second best, convenient, or one that feeds my insecurities. Guard my purity, and give me the patience to wait. And when I meet him, confirm to me that he's the one.
Release from me the baggage of past relationships, and prepare me for the man You have chosen to be my husband. Free me from any hindrances to a healthy n godly marriage: insecurities, habitual sins, selfishness, emotional hurts. Dispel my unrealistic expectations tat set me up for disappointment. I place my trust in You than my partner.
In this period of waiting I will look to You to be my companion n best friend. You are the One who redeems my life frm the pit, who crowns me with love n compassion, who satisfies my desires with good things (Ps 103:4-5 NIV). I will not be anxious, but as I present my requests to You, flood me with e peace tat surpasses all understanding so my heart n my mind are guarded in Christ Jesus (Phil 4:6-7).
In this request, I commit myself to trust You and do good, to dwell in the land n feed on Your faithfulness, I commit my way to You n trust tat You will bring it to pass (Ps 37:3-5). "
[And the LORD God said,"It is not good that man shld be alone, I will make him a helper comparable to him." (Gen 2:18 NKJV)]
