Secret Ten: To Shorting the Wait for “The One.”

**Pre-note: Male readers this secret also applies to you as well.

But being a female, I’m speaking from a female stand point…just letting you know

            Really? Is it so? Do you really know the secret for shorting the wait for the one? Truth be told…no. Think about it, I’m in my own single season with the Lord, what would I know about relationships with men right now? You know why I don’t know, because that kind of choice is between you and God. We are all at different stages in our life and our relationships with God so it’s completely between you and your relationship with the Most High. However I do know that when you’re waiting for ‘The One” it may be smart to start praying for him. Confused? I understand. The idea of praying for someone that we never met is a hard concept to chew and swallow. But if you really think about it, we pray to a God that no one has seen. You see it’s all a matter of faith. I put my life in a God that I can’t see and I fully trust him to the point that I would die for him. God isn’t only as real as we make him to be, don’t forget friends, God made us not the other way around.

            So moving on to this whole praying for your future husband thing and the concepts that has people worried that you’re choking. When I say praying for your future husband I don’t mean praying to God a list of things that you want in a guy and God magically goes *poof* “Here thy man is for thee!” God already knows your needs and your wants, and what you could need is something that maybe isn’t what you want. But after to talking to my happily married mentors, they have all told me one thing in common about their husbands, they are WAY better than anything they could think up themselves. This proved to me that God really does look out for us because he sends people into our lives to help us grow only so much deeper in love with him. For example, my best friends. I know that all of our paths crossed because God wanted them too, why? Because he loves all three of us. We are strong individually but together we are (shall I dare say it?) Unstoppable!

            So how do you start when praying for your future husband? Well first I’d start pray for his heart. The heart that beats strongly in the Lord is a heart that is worth more than any treasure of the world…or so I like to think. Pray that his heart beats for God, that it remains strong in the Lord. Pray that his heart is deeply in love with God, that his heart is a holy dwelling place for the Lord and his mind is consistently thinking upon Him. When his heart and mind have the focus right, God will keep him protected and have his blood constantly running through him. A man with his heart and mind in the right focus is a man worth waiting for!

            When praying for your future anything it’s all up to you and God. You and God are the only two that really know all about your life. You know the struggle and the heartbreak that you have gone through and you understand what you need and if you have faith, God will provide for you. But this is something a lot of Christians struggle with. It’s hard to put your faith into something you can’t see, it’s hard to know that this God (remind you that you can’t see) is hand-crafting a man out there just for you my lady friends (and men for you it’s vice-versa). But there is one thing I have learned over my years of trusting God, he keeps and delivers his word. Remember God work’s in his own time and when we have spiritually grown to maturity. God can see you and hear your thoughts and concerns, he maybe just waiting for your faith and trust in him. It’s like he’s waiting up in the heavens with a big bucket of blessings ready to pour on you but he’s waiting for you to trust him. Once you do, you become drenched with all sorts of blessings from him.

            I may not know the secret to shorting the wait time, but I do know this. Pray for you future husband and God will throw a few surprises your way. Trust him and I guarantee that God will make your dreams that you haven’t even dreamt of come true. God Bless my brothers and sisters! Remember dear friends, I’m learning right there with yeah!
