"He made...a woman, and He brought her to the man." Genesis 2:22 NKJV
"Father, when Adam was lonely, you made Eve and brought her to him. And just as you knew what Adam needed, I'm struggling with loneliness, and you know what I need too. You said in your Word, 'I will never leave you nor forsake you' (Heb 13:5 NKJV). There is a part of me that can never be satisfied or fulfilled by any relationship other than you. But you also created me to be sociable and need interaction with other people. Help me to admit and stop any negative behavior on my part that may cause people not to enjoy and to accept me, such as being critical, envious, hot-tempered, judgmental, or unforgiving. Please give me the tongue of the learned so that I will know how to speak appropriate words in season to others. Please open my ears to listen to them with real understanding (See Isa 50:4). Help me to overcome shyness and the fear of rejection and to reach out to others believing that you can speak to their heart and cause them to open and accepting. Teach me how to accept their love, help, and generosity. Help me to understand the importance of caring for my relationships and not just paying attention to friends when it's convenient for me. Help me to be reliable friend (See Pr 18:24 NIV). You know what I need in a relationship. You put David and Jonathan together, and Ruth and Naomi together. So, I ask you to put me together with the right person or persons. In Jesus' name. Amen."
