Dear friends in Christ,
Thank you for taking the time to read this message. I’m a young woman in her late 20s, and feel that I have a discerned a vocation to marriage (after contemplating religious life for some time, and much prayer and thought). Now I am waiting on the Lord to send me a husband. Sometimes I just feel so frustrated about not knowing when, where, or if the Lord will send me a spouse. The desire is so deep on my heart to be a wife and mother, yet sometimes it is so hard to trust, because it just seems so difficult to find a good Catholic husband. I’ve tried the singles websites for a while and go to different Catholic young adult events, but yet am still left waiting. Then I begin to question my discernment and if I’m even where I’m supposed to be. Please pray that God will give me peace and clearly show me the path I am to follow, and help me to find joy in this time of waiting. Also, please pray that God will send me a holy husband if it be His will, and that the Lord will bless him in all his needs. Thank you!
 
I hear what you’re saying. I’m in a very similar boat although I think I’m headed towards religious life. Here’s a prayer for you.

In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit

Eternal Father, we thank you for the crosses that we bear because we know that each one is an opportunity to grow closer to you. Lord we ask that you bless our sister with the fruits of your Holy Spirit and that you shine upon her with your love and peace, endurance and patience, faith and hope. If these requests are contrary to your will then we ask for the graces necessary to carry this cross.

In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit

Amen
 
I understand how you feel, sometimes we look to hard for the things we need…
I’m a Classic example of that, I find I get the things I need, not the things I want…
Maybe try a different tact… is there a choir or other church group you could gain
an interest in ? you just need to find new ways to get yourself out there where you
can be seen…
 
I w ill pray for healthy fulfilling relationships, to bridge you toward God’s will.

May God be our friend, as much as he is our Father and rains his love upon us.

Amen.
 
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee.

Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb Jesus.

Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death.

Amen.

†

Our Father who art in Heaven, hallowed be thy name.

Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread.

And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us.

And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

Amen.

Be patient and God will light your path to loving relationships. He hears your prayers.

Praying for you and all those sharing in this prayer intention…

Hail Mary…
 
Dont try so hard to “accomplish” or put your life in order. Just pray and fill each day with good actions and selfless acts of kindness with a cheerful attitude. There is no such thing in heaven as “time” so as much as we want to get our life in order, and hope that God sees we are getting older, He has a plan, and patience is something we all need for any vocation, so practice patience by prayer and faith. I had a plan, and God laughed. Boy, oh boy!

But I will say a prayer to the Holy Spirit, to fill you with the wisdom you need to recognize God’s Holy Will for you.
 
Eternal God , in whom mercy is endless,
and the treasury of compassion inexhastible ,
look kindly upon us and increase Your mercy in us ,
that in difficult moments we might not despair
nor become despondent , but with great confidence ,
submit ourselves to Your Holy Will ,
which is love and mercy itself . Amen

Memorare (Prayer to Our Lady)
Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to your protection, implored your help, or sought your intercession, was left unaided.
Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto you, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother. To you do I come, before you I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in your mercy, hear and answer me. Amen
 
Hail Mary,
full of grace,
the Lord is with thee,
Blessed art thou among women,
and blessed is the fruit of thy womb Jesus,
Holy Mary,
Mother of God,
pray for us sinners, now
and at the hour of our death
Amen
 
I understand your struggle. I’m particularly inept at patience and listening so I still struggle with understanding God’s will. But you sound very thoughtful and faithful…I have found that focusing on other goals while remaining open to future possibilities helps relieve some of the stress. It could be new friends, work, hobbies, or even perspective that leads you to someone or something you were meant to find. Just know that you are loved and being guided to something wonderful.

Dear God, please help this young woman see Your perfect will and guide her towards a loving and faithful life. Please give her strength and patience. Please hold her in Your Hands and bless her.

I will keep you in my prayers…
