As you are probably discovering about me, I love prayers. Not only do I love praying but I love to read different prayers (particularly when I can’t find the words to pray on my own). As a single Christian who desires marriage, I found the below prayer encourages my heart.
God’s Desire for the Single Christian
“Everyone longs to give themselves completely to someone. To have a deep soul relationship with another. To be loved thoroughly and exclusively. But God says:
No, not until you are first satisfied, fulfilled, and content with being loved by Me can I bring you true love. You see, first you must give yourself totally and unreservedly to Me, discovering that only in Me is your satisfaction to be found. Only then, will you be capable of the perfect human relationship that I have for you.
You will never be fully united with another until you are united with Me. Exclusive to anyone or anything else, I want you to stop planning, stop wishing and allow Me to bring it to you. You must keep watching and experiencing the satisfaction that I am, expecting Me to do the greatest of things. Most importantly, keep listening and learning the things I show you. Just wait…That’s all!
Don’t be anxious, and don’t worry. Don’t look at the things others have received, or that I have given them. You just keep looking at Me, or you’ll miss what I am teaching you. Then, when you’re ready, I’ll give you a love far more wonderful than any you will ever dream about.
Most of all, I want you to see in his flesh, a picture of your relationship with Me and enjoy the everlasting union of beauty, perfection, and love that I offer you. “Believe it and be satisfied.”
My dearest child, until you are ready—I am working even this moment to have you both ready at the same time. Until you are both satisfied and content with me and the life I have prepared for you; you won’t be able to experience the love that exemplifies your relationship with Me, thus, perfect love.
Know that I love you utterly. I am God. Believe and be satisfied.

I love your passion for prayer and this one captured my heart. As a divorced (now single) mother, I’ve felt that I’m finally ready to start dating again. I was feeling restless and always had my eyes peeled for someone with potential. I began to get discouraged. But then Jesus showed me something along the lines of this prayer. He told me that He is enough and He won’t bring a man into my life until I realize that HE is enough and all that I need. He loves me too much to do otherwise. Thanks for sharing this beautifully written piece.

“Not until you are first satisfied, fulfilled, and content with being loved by Me can I bring you true love.” This is so, so true and something that I had to learn the hard way!
Love this prayer!
