praying for your partner in life

[chicklitcrazy]

I pray that Jayvee would be enlightened and that we would be able to survive the struggles were having right now.

hi mga sis..

few months ago, nagpost ako dito to heal my broken heart & to find the right man.

nag 54 days rosary novena ako & novena prayer to saint dwynwen. I pray to heal my broken heart & if my ex is really the one, God will bring him back to me, if he's not, help me find the right man.

Hindi, binalik sa akin ni Lord yung ex fiance ko, pero may iba cyang binigay sa akin.. Out of nowhere lang, after 10 longs years, nagkita kami ng highschool classmate ko & he's courting me.. I don't know if he's the one, only God knows, basta pray lang tayo sa kanya at alam kong hindi nya tayo pababayaan.

  Nice to know that sis len_choi:)  Goodluck on your new lovelife:)  You deserve to be happy:)

[tata]

ooooh  sis len_choi! i'm so happy for you! God bless =)

[rinapie]

wow..i like this thread...hindi ko hilig ang ipagdasal ang partner pero try ko nga.

[rainbow11]

being the threadstarter, let me share with you how God revealed His will for me.
as i have mentioned on the first page, i was hoping that my first love and i will get back together.  i prayed and waited for over a year. my first love reconciled with me. on the 5th day of the relationship, i saw him dating a female co-worker. then the next day, i saw the same co-worker waiting for him outside the office. on that same day, first love told me that he cant do his part as my bf anymore for so many reasons.
i tried to make him stay but he didnt want to.
so there, God clearly revealed to me that the guy i waited for is not worth it. it was sad but everytime i think of it, i praise Him for showing me the truth in ways i never imagined. i've learned not to give my heart away easily.

[justbeingme]

^ I can relate to this. The guy I wanted and waited for was also not worth it. Of course we dont realize this until later in life.  When I look back buti na lang di sya binigay sa kin ni God because I will probably have been miserable. 

[ven]

My prayer for my partner.. for him to be really in love with You the way You do to him (though I know that's impossible cause no one can love like You do).. and help him find me. 'cause Im sometimes hard to find. Don't laugh, You're the one who told me to keep that in mind Lord. 

..and I pray that when he finds me, it's right the time and place You scheduled for us. I know You already reserved the best venue and the best date with the best weather ever. 'cause I'm special that way. LOL. I'm nothing but excited Lord!!!

[choleb]

Right now, I am praying to God to take away all the pain I'm feeling. To help me move on, to forget him...

I went to Manaoag last Nov 21 and prayed to Her to give me the right man who will make me cry not because of misery but because of happiness. Kumbaga "tears of Joy".

After reading all your posts, I'm very inspired. All I need to do is to have a strong faith and believe in HIM that somwehere out there someone is also praying for me.

[micatinalyn]

Mga sis, read this...this is so inspiring. nabasa ko lang sa multiply ng acquaintance ko. i always go back to this entry especially when im so down with love.


Lord, I am about to be ready to commit myself to someone I fell in love with.
Could I take her now?
I have prayed for her for quite a time now.

But the Lord answered.
No, not until you are satisfied, fulfilled and content with being loved by Me alone.
You need to give yourself totally unreserved to Me because in Me your satisfaction is to be found.
And when you learn to commit yourself to Me alone then, only then is the right time for you to be capable of perfect human relationship that I have planned for you long you thought about it.
You will never be united with another until you are united with Me.
You will never learn to speak and understand the true language of love until you hear Me speak it.
You will never learn how it is to love and be loved until you feel the tender touch of My LOVE.

I want you to stop planning.
Stop wishing and allow Me to step in and give you the most surprising and exciting plan that you can imagine.
You are My child.
I want you to have the best.
Please allow Me to bring it to you.
Fix your eyes on Me and expect the greatest things as you watch.
Keep experiencing the satisfaction that I AM.
Learn all the things I tell you and be patient.
Just wait.

Donʼt be anxious.
Do not worry.
Donʼt look around and feel jealous at the things others may have got.
Yours will be different because I LOVE YOU.
Donʼt look at things you think you want.
They may not be the things I want for you.
Look up straight at Me because you might miss what I want to show you.

And then, when youʼre ready,
Iʼll surprise you with a lover far more wonderful than what you would ever dream of.
But I wonʼt let you have it until you are ready and the one I prepared for you is ready,
until you are both satisfied exclusively with Me and the LIFE I have prepared for you.

Sis micatinalyn, i've read this before from a forwarded email from a friend...and I must say I agree. Share ko lang my case....

For quite a long time, I'd been praying for a lifetime partner...until parang feeling ko I was doomed to be single forever. Goody-two-shoes kasi ako when I was studying...I didn't have bf then...& I must say late bloomer talaga ko. I had my first real bf when I was 26. Ewan ko ba...di ko kasi nagustuhan mga suitors ko nun...siguro I was really enjoying my being single back then...I travelled a lot, both thru my work & vacation...so I didn't have that urgent wanting to have someone special....until my friends started settling down and I also realized that I wanted to be a mother.

As for my first bf, di rin kami nagtagal...siguro di ko rin kasi sya talaga love & naging kami lang because our friends were teasing us....so since then, sabi ko, magbi-bf lang ako if I found Mr. Right. Simple lang naman ang Mr. Right for me...someone who will be a loving husband and a responsible father...no physical attributes requirement...but he has to be someone whom I can talk with anything under the sun...because I believe that companionship is very important for a relationship to last.

As years passed by, sabi ko, parang ang tagal yatang dumating ni Mr. Right...Baka by the time na ma-meet ko sya, eh menopause na ko.

Then, I met 2 guys...one after the other...I don't know if I was just in a rush to find Mr. Right...But neither relationship worked. Each was a daunting experience...and I thought I was a strong woman to handle them...but I still shed too much tears...as in parang open faucet ang mata ko those times...siguro din kasi, the feeling of being deceived made it worse.  Sabi ko nga nun, mas masaya ang buhay ko nun hindi ako naghahanap ng someone special.

And that was the time that I surrendered everything to God.  With earnest prayers, HE helped me understand and accept that things happen for a reason. And I stopped looking for Mr.Right...I stopped worrying about my ticking bioclock. Sabi ko kay God, Lord, I know that if You want me to have a family of my own, all in Your time and not mine.

And I really felt that sense of happiness again...that same feeling during that time that I wasn't looking for someone special...God made me realize again that I can be happy because HE loves me.

And true enough...HE led me to the one whom HE planned for me...sooner than I was expecting and even more than what I asked for.   

Then, we got married when I was 33 (almost 34). And it's really true that when it rains it pours...kasi nabuntis kagad ako...honeymoon baby. 

So, sa mga sis dito sa GT who have worries that I had...STOP worrying! Let God find the one for you...Let God do the planning....Because with God, everything is possible.

Pasensya na po...napahaba...

[rainbow11]

^this one's so inspiring!
i can relate to you sis.. late bloomer din ako tska nagka 2 failed relationships after the 1st bf. nasa stage na ko ngayon na nisurrender ko nalang ang heart ko kay God. hinihintay ko pa nga lang yung moment na maging satisfied being with Him alone. i'm still a work in progess.
that's right, we have to wait in God's time, dont mind the bioclock. based on your story, nagka baby ka pa nga kahit 30+ na diba?
katuwa talaga story mo! love it! 

[tabularasa08]

mommyquel>> sobrang inspiring naman ng story mu, sis..

[mommyquel]

@rainbow11 & tabularasa08, salamat sis...honestly, when i turned 30, nagwoworry din ako about my bioclock...especially i have a lots of friends who have problems with their reproductive system...but as i've said, i surrendered everything to God...naging inspiration ko the bible story of Zachariah & Elizabeth...
 
& kahit ako, nasurprised talaga na nabuntis kagad ako...sabi nga ng family ko....i'm so blessed daw...but syempre worried din ako about my baby....kasi prone na sya to down syndrome because of my age....but still God is really good...my baby is very much healthy and smart...he is now 15mos old.
 
basta, ang masasabi ko lang sis...FAITH is very important in finding one's true love...when you meet someone you like...pray for discernment....because more often than not, God will give you signs...medyo mahaba na tong reply ko, but i also want to share that God gave me the sign that I asked for....
 
di pa nun nanliligaw si hubby, we were just friends...I prayed to God na sana bigyan Nya ko ng red rose in whatever form (real, virtual or a card na meron red rose) if meron talagang guy na destined for me...eh siguro nakulitan sa kin si Bro...this guy (who is my hubby na nga ngayon) sent me a bunch of virtual red roses. But at that time, nakalimutan ko na about the sign that I was asking for...naalala ko lang to when hubby proposed to me. It may be too good to be true...but it's real.

[feisty_one]

@ mommyquel:  i agree,ur story's quite inspiring,thanks for sharing it to us

[Ncolette]

Yeah I did. That's a Big parang batok for me from God after all those years that I really doubted if He even really exist in the first place hehe.

He was my 9 mornings.

My story is that of a typical y'know jaded, sarcastic, cynical person. i really lost all faith about men for quite some time. 6 years nakakahiya man aminin pero kasama dun si God. Not really turn an atheist but I really doubted if He really is real.

Then christmas of 2005. Nabuo ko yung simbang gabi. Hindi dahil talaga nagsimba ako pero nabuo ko sya because of insomnia. I couldnt sleep so I attented yung misa sa madaling araw. But then I know my faith on Him no matter how cynical I get or how lost. I still looking for Him somewhere.

Then nung last nya 24. Nag breakfast kami ng mama ko sabi nya I should make a wish. Though Im really cynical I told myself hindi lang naman ako makatulog kaya nabuo ko. Pero kinulit nya ako nung kasama na family namin nagsimba before noche buena. Malay daw kung magkatotoo. So yun I did.

I ask for signs for a guy to come. Impossible signs. Kasi ayaw ko mag hope ng ganun. Buti na yung alam kung imposible mangyari para hindi masakit umasa.

1. I want HIM to be tall. Taller than I am.
-My hubby is 5'10".
2. I want HIM to be dark.
-hayy grabe at ipinaman nya pa sa anak namin kulay nya.
3. I want HIm sungki.
- kasi di ba bihira lang naman sungki? parang sa sampu isa lang. I gave Him dagger looks nung naiisipan nya magpa braces. Ayoko ever!
4. I want Him bald.
-hanggang ngayon kalbo pa din sya.
5 I want Him wearing white shoes on the first date.
- dito ko napaiyak nun naalala ko sapatos nya nung 2 months ko na naalala na Sya yun hiningi kong simbang gabi. Kasi naka white rubber shoes sya kahit umuulan the whole day bago nung date namin. Concert yun sa football field so alam nya na magiging maputik pero wala lang daw. Later on I asked for that particular shoes and he gave it to me naman. pero ngayon hindi ko na alam since natira kami abroad at naiwan mga gamit namin dati sa pinas.
6. I want Him to love me the way I wanted to be love.
-though he grows up now as a person and 4 years since. We dont have the perfect relationship. But his patience to understand me is priceless. In every fight or arguments at the end of the day, When we have to say our prayers together bago matulog....He always proved me wrong. "Mahal lang kita. Masama ba yun". Sa lahat ako lang naman rason nya. hayyyy 

and lastly...I asked to meet HIM before your next birthday.
-True naman. Kasi kasama ko na sya nagsisimba nun bago pa man magpasko 

Simula nun talagang umikot na buhay ko. Si God talagang hindi nawawala. Lagi lang sya nag-aantay.

Ask for His will. To let things happen not because you wanted it.... but HE wanted it to happen to you.

[choleb]

I pray to God to open my eyes pag nandyan na ang life partner ko.

[ruthreyes21]

hi sisters!!!
nakakainspire naman yung mga stories ng mga girltalkers natin dito,.. very touching..
i have this very loooong time crush to this certain guy (khit pa im in a relationship pa and im single fo 4 years na imagine that hehe tagal na...)
and i always do my novena prayer to perpetual help for my intentions..(good health,makapag abroad ulit, strong family ties and kasama na din ang partner in life.)
minsan i dropped by at tha redemptorist church in baclaran..i prayed to  the mother of perpetual help and sabi ko if i could have a sign from her if this guy is a possible RIGHT ONE for me..
out of nowhere habang pauwi ako, i was so shocked to see him!!Grabe,na overwhelmed ako na di ko alam gagawin ko.parang na frozen ako ng makita ko sya.maybe this is the sign that i was asking from her kaya super thankful na rin ako khit na at the back of my mind baka nagkataon lang..
at ang pangyayaring yon ay naulit ulit! hayyyy..nagkadaupang palad ulit kmi..
super happy na din ako pero hinahanda ko na din sarili ko sa what if magbigay si LORD ng hint na di rin sya for me..
as of now what i heard is that me gf sya pero ok lang skin as long as happy sya...lagi ko din syang isinasama sa mga prayers ko,pero im not wishing naman na  magkahiwalay sila ng gf nya,ang pinag pipray ko na lang sa ngayon,if kung magiging kmi if ever in the future si LORD na lang bahala...
im just keep on praying for his will..

[mooncake and leaves]

i am now. wala namang mawawala. but i'm not asking for signs. i think how i feel about someone or how he demonstrates his feelings for me, are enough. more than the tangible, material manifestations of the "right" person, i just want to have true connection. again.

but i just came from a breakup and i admit, there's a part of me that wants to fall in love again. yung devastated, emotional part. but my logical part is telling me i need time. which i believe dapat sundin ko. as much as i want to be with the right person, i am not the right person as of the moment. so i guess, apart from praying for my partner in life, i'm praying to be ready, to be complete all on my own first. the right person deserves no less.

[hunnyfunny]

And that was the time that I surrendered everything to God.  With earnest prayers, HE helped me understand and accept that things happen for a reason. And I stopped looking for Mr.Right...I stopped worrying about my ticking bioclock. Sabi ko kay God, Lord, I know that if You want me to have a family of my own, all in Your time and not mine.

thanks for the inspiration, sis. i'm 30 na e. no boyfriend. sometimes, i find myself panicking and lonely especially pag holidays and nadito sa house ang families ng mga siblings ko. expected na ako ang aasarin ng mga relatives kasi ako na lang ang single. contented na daw ba ako mag-alaga na lang ng mga pamangkin. if alam lang nila ang lungkot ng mag-isa. i once mentioned na isang kid lang naman ang gusto ko. sabi, yung isang kid daw ba na yun, sure ako na magiging normal e matanda na daw ako. what can i do if hindi pa will ni God na magkafamily ako di ba? so for now, all i can do is pray and be contented na single ako and wish that somehow, sana meron kahit isang person na nag-iisip and prays for me when he goes to sleep at night.

Sis, di ka nag iisa! We're in the same situation. I'm also 30, no BF. But I don't worry much. Because I believe everything will happen in HIS time. Keep the faith. Enjoy life is short. At ang wrinkles.
