Valentine's Prayer for My Future Wife

Lord,

You're amazing. You're so worthy of praise and adoration. You have done so much for us already. I'm so grateful that the veil was torn that I might have the opportunity to have a relationship with You. I'm so in awe of the fact that You wanted a relationship with me at all. I'm so thankful for the precious blood of Your Son, that washes away all my sins and creates in me a clean heart. Continue to move in my heart as only You can and make me a better person. I love you God and I'm so grateful to be known by You. You have been so awesome to me and for me. This relationship continues to astound me. That Your Son went to the cross that I might have the inheritance of a child of God is mind blowing. You are so incredible and your love is more than I'll ever be able to hold in my mind. I'm so grateful to know that if I can think if it, Your grace is bigger.

God, I come to you now about my wife. You know I love her. I'm so astounded that you choose me for her and I pray that the You in me will always be greater than the me in me. She is your prized possession, Your Beloved. You would have gone to the cross for her alone. I want her to know how much You love her. That You seek to do the best for her. Lord, allow her to find You when she seeks You. Be as close to her as her next breath. Be her friend, her comforter, her strong tower, and her peace. Help her to know you more intimately and rely on You. Your Word says seek ye first the kingdom and I pray you put the desire in her to seek after You always. When she's scared, I pray she reaches towards You. When she's lonely, I hope she knows You as a friend. Lord continue to grow in her a desire for Your Word and for relationship. Help her to know that no question is too small, no concern too frivolous to take to You. God, You're concerned with the things that concern us and that in and of itself is astounding. Help her to know You're always there. You'll catch her when she stumbles and You'll never be far from her. Continue to be all that You are in her life and give her a thirst for your Word and relationship with You. I know You love her more than I'll ever be able to and I want her to be as sure of that as she is of her own name. I pray that she knows that your mercies are new every morning, that each and every day You treat us not as we deserve but out of Your nature. You're so much more than I can really handle but I'm grateful for your all encompassing-ness. Continue to be with my wife in all ways, helping her and guiding her to do the things You'd have her to do. Be her ever present help and the steady hand she needs when she's unsure. I'm so grateful for the way You love her.

Let not my human frailty hinder my prayer oh God.  May the words of my mouth and the meditations of my heart be acceptable to you God. Help me to continue to strive towards You and be what You want me to be. I love You.

Amen
