Praying for your future spouse

This is a blogpost I've been meaning to make for awhile. I kept putting it off because I guess I wasn't sure if I wanted to share something so important to me, but I realized I want this to help people. I don't think I'm smart enough to have come up with this on my own; it must have been a gift from the Holy Spirit one night a few months ago when I couldn't sleep.

I mentioned before that I could be better at praying. I should pray the things below every single day, but I don't. I claim that I'll love that handsome fellow well and care for him and cherish him and avoid the mistakes that some women I know have committed, yet I don't pray for him often enough. Maybe now though that I am praying the Chaplet of Divine Mercy every day, I'll like use that momentum to pray the things below. It's hard for me to pray, but once I've been doing it for a few minutes, it's a lot easier.

Also... please don't believe for a second that I'm some stellar Christian. I try hard, but I also fail miserably at times. We are all broken. We all need to rely on Him for strength.

Anyways, let me get to it.

I have found it very helpful to "pray from head to toe". Five body parts.

I pray for my future spouse's mind, that the Lord would help him deal with depression or anger problems or doubts about his talent and ability. I don't want him to walk around with negative thoughts weighing him down.

I pray for his eyes, that he set his eyes on good and beautiful things. I don't want him to be addicted to porn; I want him to resist that alluring pull.

I pray for his lips, that he be a wise man that says good and truthful things.
"Death and life are in the power of the tongue." (Proverbs 18:21)

I pray for his heart, that he have a heart that trusts in the Lord and submits to Him. And he might be in a relationship with some hussy, so I also ask the Lord to break them up sooner rather than later so he can bring that sexy butt faster to me.

Finally, I pray for his hands, that the Lord blesses the things he does (schoolwork, his job, volunteering, etc.)

That's it. Don't over complicate it, y'all. Prayer is difficult enough already without us making it harder. That is pretty much all the bases that need to be covered.

If I missed any important points, let me know please. I'd definitely welcome the feedback.

Thank you,
