God also tells us in His Word to present all of our requests to Him (Philippians 4:6). We want to encourage you in your desire for marriage by encouraging you and inspiring you. To pray for your heart and the heart of your future husband. We wrote 31 Prayers For My Future Husband for single or engaged women, women currently in a serious relationship, and women who are already engaged that are planning for their special day!

It seems that many years ago, God asked Cheryl to surrender the pen she was using to write her love story. All He wanted was carte blanche. No problem, right? Cheryl tentatively conceded—that is, until it became apparent that the Almighty had no intention of conforming to her writing schedule, much less the tick of her biological clock.
In fact, He blew every deadline she ever attempted to set. As romance seemed to pass Cheryl by, she couldn’t help but question: Could God really be trusted to bring her the love of her life? Written during a long wait, this book opens up Cheryl’s painfully honest, personal journals.

Cheryl wrestles with her Creator over multiple best friends that never see her “that way.” Then there are those lists of what she wanted. You know, the ones she revised a billion times then laminated for safekeeping. She watches, bewildered, as much younger women find love that seems to elude her. Through it all, she falls head over heels for a God who proves Himself to be as resistant to her controls as He is faithful beyond her wildest dreams.
