A Prayer for Singles

I want to pray for us today.
I want to pray for the season that we’re in, whether we’re happy or unhappy about it. Prayer is needful.
Lord we thank you for this time in our lives
We don’t take a single moment in this season for granted
We celebrate those around us that have found love
Keep our hearts pure
Keep our thoughts pure
So, that we won’t allow jealousy, envy or bitterness to take root in our hearts
Help us to use this season to chase boldly after our purpose
To learn more about our identities in you
To learn more about your love for us
So, that your love for us can set the standard on how we should be loved
And set the standard on how we should give love
May our hearts be so intertwined with your love in this season that we crave it more than we crave anything else
Show us more of yourself and shape our lives to reveal your glory
Reveal how much bigger  and more beautiful you are than our desire for marriage
Satisfy us so fully that we never look to anyone else to make us happy
Help us to understand that there is an appointed time for everything
And to everything its own season
May we understand that you are committed to giving us what’s best for us when it’s best for us
You want to give us love
You said in your word that you wouldn’t withhold any good thing from your children
And we are your children
And while we know that you are such a good Father that you want to give us the desires of our heart
Help us not to make our desire for marriage an idol
Liberate us from the world’s standards that say we should be married by a certain age
Keep us from conforming to the world around us
Jesus, we declare that You alone are our prize, You are our portion and in this season, we will enjoy YOU, all of YOU.
We pray this prayer in Jesus Name
