What to Pray While You Wait to be Found

Hey there. Hope your week is going well. Today’s blogpost is specially dedicated to all my ladies in waiting (single ladies waiting to be found by the man of their dreams); to those single women who understand that making the right choice of a life partner is crucial and requires divine assistance. As you wait upon God for your time to come, here are some prayer points you should add to your prayer list in your closet. They will position you for what your future in marriage and help you make the right choice of a life partner. Here they are:
  •    Lord purge me of childishness and bring me into maturity in every dimension. 
  • Open my eyes to see my weaknesses and flaws and give me the grace to correct them. 
  •  Lord, send every book, message, knowledge and resources needed for my all round development in Jesus name. 
  •  Lord, make me a wife suitable for my husband. 
  •  Help me to discern the right man for me when he shows up. 
  • Lord, put an automatic no in my mouth for the wrong men and an automatic yes in mouth for the right man when he comes. 
  •  Father, give me the grace to be patient and to wait for as long as it takes until the right man shows up. 
  •  Lord, bless my future husband and I with the wisdom and finances we need in Jesus name.
Voila! Those are the ones I could think of. Now it’s over to you dear blog reader. Can you think of any other ones to add to the list? Share it in the comments section. Remember, James 5:16 says “…the effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much”. You can’t leave things to chance or “fate”. Instead of wishing for the best, pray for it instead. Our God almighty is faithful to do exceedingly, abundantly above all that we could ever ask, think or imagine. Xoxo

Prayer is not Witchcraft

Dedicated to everyone who prays and is in need of a spouse...

Happy new month to us all. May God show up for us in mighty ways this month in Jesus name. I’m sooo excited at this new month and set for what God is about to do. This morning, I was about to put up another blogpost when this topic entered my heart and I’ll like to address it.

Prayer is a beautiful thing. It is an avenue to communicate with God and receive what we need from him. It is an avenue to change situations and release God’s power to change lives. As empowering as this sounds, it is not an avenue to manipulate people, especially when it comes to the matters of love.

No matter how you fast and pray that God should give you a particular man or woman as husband or wife, he will only answer that prayer in line with his will. Even if you go on a forty-day fast, God will NEVER give you someone who is not his will for you as a spouse. Persisting in praying that God should give you a particular person as a spouse is equal to witchcraft. Yes! What you’re doing is trying to twist God’s arm via your prayers and manipulate him into going outside his will. Unfortunately, you cannot get God to act outside his will, especially in relationship matters. Abi na babalawo (witch doctor) Christian you don turn to? You will end up wasting your prayers and spiritual energy without results. No matter how many times Balaam attempted to curse Israel as prompted by Balak, it was a waste of time because it was not God’s will. Instead of wasting your prayers and praying amiss, here’s what you should do.


  1. Tell God about your desire to have that person as a spouse.
  2. Ask God to give you the person if it is his will. 
  3. Pray that if the person is not God’s will for you, God should give you the man/woman that best suits you.
  4.  Ask God to give you the grace to accept his answer graciously. 
  5. Ask him to open your eyes/heart to discern who he has for you and the grace to receive the person he has for you.
When you pray in this manner, incase the person you’re asking for is not God’s will, he will move to give you whoever suits you best and thereby, you won’t be praying amiss. 

No be by decreeing
If you think you are a prayer warrior and one who decrees things to happen and they do, this is one area where the counsel of God alone will prevail, not just what you decree. So if you’re busy decreeing and declaring that so so person is your spouse, it is one prayer God will only grant according to his will and not just in line with your decrees. For your information, that person you’re asking God to give you as a spouse, there are others wishing, desiring, praying and even fasting that God should give them the person too. So, who is God going to answer??? I speak not with a sense of judgment or displeasure but as a sister who wants to see you get it right and not miss it in the place of your prayers. 


Keep it in mind that if God ever refuses to allow you have someone as a spouse it is because he has seen the end from the beginning and he knows that you are not suitable for each other, no matter how good he/she seems to be on the outside. It’s not about he/she being a good or wonderful person, it’s not about he/she having all the qualities you desire, it’s about he/she being THE RIGHT PERSON FOR YOU and a SUITABLE HELPER for you. They may be good, yes, but not right for you. God is wiser than you are and wants the best for you always. Learn to trust his judgments and his answers to your prayers. Be open to receive whoever he has for you and you will never miss it in Jesus name.

Have a blessed month. xoxo
