A prayer for finding a life partner

Master of the World, I ask You for the partner of my life. I already know this road: dates that began in hope and ended in silence, conversations that did not continue, good people who were not for me, and times when I was not for the one who wanted me. Sometimes I grow tired, and sometimes I begin to think that perhaps something in me is wrong.

Let me meet a person with whom I can build a home. Not a perfect figure I built in my imagination, but a real person, with a good heart, with whom we can grow together. And give me eyes to recognize that person when they come, even if they do not come in the form I expected.

Keep me from choosing out of fear, only so as not to remain alone. And keep me also from turning away out of fear, only so as not to take a risk. Let me know what truly matters to me, and what only seems important.

And prepare me from within as well. If there are old wounds in me, from earlier relationships or from the home I grew up in, help me heal them, so that I come to a relationship open and not defensive. Let me learn to give, and not only wait to be given to.

And until it happens, let me live my life fully, and not only wait. Let me grow, learn, rejoice and give, so that when we meet I come with a more whole heart. And let me keep an open heart and the faith that Your timing is the right timing.
