Mold, Make, Place Him

"Lord I know there is someone, 
In this world for me
Keep him safe from harm,
And from temptation help him flee
Make him a leader,
Who can guide me through the years.
Give him a loving arm to hold me,
And to dry all my tears.
Mold him to be a father,
As you have been to me.
Always keep him by my side
A right arm forever he’ll be.
Cause his love for you to grow,
And a true doctrine let him know.
And in his life forever,
Let your light always show.
Place him in the ministry,
So more can hear God’s word
And when the trials come,
Help us praise you Lord.
Give him a compassion,
Toward those who are orphaned
And to such as these,
Our home will always be open.
Finally Lord I ask you,
Help him keep himself
Because a Christian man like this,
Is valued above great wealth."


I decided to post this prayer that I have lifted to the Lord countless times because I was reminded this past weekend how easy it is to forget God's sovereignty over every single detail of your life. As Christians, we are called to bring glory to God through every single area of our life, including our marriage and while I know that may  very well be many years away for me, recent discussions with brothers and sisters in Christ warrant this post.


While I may not always keep it at the forefront of my mind, deep down I know that even a moment of worrying about who the Lord has set apart for me to love and cherish one day is waisted time because He is Lord of all and He holds all things together.


So may I just encourage you, if ever you struggle with worrying about these types of issues, remember that the Lord holds all things together! Maybe you too can find comfort in praying these precious and sincere words to God, who is intimately involved in His children's lives.
