My hope is in You, not a partner. Teach me to date in a way that honours and glorifies You.

Guide me to find worth in who You made me to be. Let me love myself through Your eyes first… Then I will embrace another’s love as a beautiful gift, not a necessity.

Teach me to receive Your forgiveness too. Fill my heart freshly with hope. You can redeem even my mistakes. In Your love, my heart discovers how to love freely again. Thank You for making all things new.

Draw my gaze continually to Your Kingdom work right around me. Fill me with purpose and spiritual fruits that overflow to bless others. Deepen intimacy with You in this waiting. May my eyes stay fixed on eternity. You alone can satisfy my soul.

Use any relationship only to draw me closer to You. Guard my heart against temptation. Give me pure motivation – simply to obey and honor You with my life and relationships.

Though risky, gives me the strength to love fearlessly and trust freely again. Should this next person also not be meant for me, I know You will heal all wounds. Until then, help my heart bloom fully to receive love without shrinking back. New beginnings start with single steps of faith.
