Prayer for GG

Dear Heavenly Father,

I confess that I have not always been as careful as I should've been with my heart. From time to time, my desire for love has caused me to leave my heart in the wrong hands. I now commit my heart into Your hands for safekeeping.

Please help me to stop being so impulsive with what you deem so precious. As I learn to celebrate Your love for me, let me learn from Your example what a bride/groom should really be like. Help me to never settle for less than what You desire for me.

As I embrace You as the Lover of my Soul, keep my affections in the heaven of Your own heart, As I rest in Your love, make me more discriminating of those who approach me. I ask that You take over this area of my life. Keep me from those You know would hurt my heart.

I invite You to set a hedge around me and keep me from all who would draw me into unfruitful relationships until the day You present me to the mate that You have selected for me.

Grant me the discernment to recognize him/her as he/she recognizes me. Cleanse me from the temptations to typecast the men/women I meet according to what I see. Help me to trust in Your knowledge and lean not on my own understanding, I know that You know what is best for me; therefore I yield to your choice. Amen.
