Prayer For Companionship
Dear Lord,
Thank You for my best friend, my husband! I love and appreciate him so much! I am in awe of how You have orchestrated our lives. Please continue to guide us through marriage. I pray that we would have a heart to learn more about our relationship and how we can better it. I pray that that our companionship would experience more adventures, share more laughter, inspire more intimacy, and encourage more growth. I want a love that is deep and rich, one that is strong and one that is enduring! Please help my husband and I to lighten up around each other. Give us a sense of humor that joins us together like never before. Help us to be there for each other for confidentiality, transparency and comfort. Remind us everyday that our time on earth is short and that we need to take advantage of every opportunity to love abundantly. Thank You Lord for this gift of companionship in Jesus' name I pray AMEN!
Please God,
Guide me to new companions who are beneficial to my life,
Who treat me with kindness, humor, tolerance and respect;
Who see my inner self more clearly than my outer appearance;
Who see me as I really am;
Who are supportive of my endeavors;
Who respect me as an individual with unique experiences, talents and trials;
Who appreciate me as a human being who is as valid and real as any other who has ever lived on this earth;
Who find joy in companionship;
Who find joy in sharing common activities and adventures, discovery
and conversation;
Who listen to me when I share my thoughts and experiences;
Who acknowledge my past, appreciate my present, and believe in my future;
Who take account for their own actions;
Who treat my other companions and family with courtesy and respect;
Who miss my absence;
Who have my back;
Who stand beside me against injustice.
Who treasure my company.
Dear Lord, I whispered (or more properly, whimpered,) wherever I have lived before there have been companions for my journey. So I believe that if you have brought me here, you have appointed some companions for me, and you have appointed me to be a companion to some. Please now reveal these people to megive me eyes to recognize them and to welcome them when they come into my life.
Please guide me away from replacing old, unhealthy people with newer models of the same, and protect me from those:
Who extol a price for their presence;
Who use me as a toy when there is no one else around, and then shelve me when another comes to call;
Who do not apologize and can not accept that they have hurt me or that they have done something wrong;
Who find no error in causing me pain;
Who see themselves and certain others as superior;
Who punish me for not staying within their control or their expectations;
Who try to control whom I speak to or who I am friends with, or where I go;
Who try to poison my name to turn others against me in order to gain attention and diminish me in other people's eyes;
Who take inventory of my "flaws" and hold them against me;
Who bestow unsolicited advice and criticism;
Who practice tit for tat;
Who take my material possessions;
Who do not stand up for me against injustice;
Who ignore my boundaries and minimize my opinions, talents, capability and experiences.
Please guide me to avoid doing any of these things to anyone, no matter what they have done to me.
Please guide me to simply let go of and remove from me those who are not beneficial, without drama and pain, and guide me to embrace those who are healthy, friendly, trustworthy companions.
Thank you God,
Amen

Almighty God, hear this prayer. Almighty God, hear this relationship prayer. As You are first in my heavenly heart and mind and spirit, so do I desire a companion for my earthly heart and mind and being. Guide me to the partner You know is perfect for me.
Help me walk in faith until that time of our first meeting. Show me how I can become a partner worthy of love. Then guide me through every stage of our relationship, so that, as we move ever closer to You, we grow closer to each other in Love, in Joy, and in Faith. Thank You God, for hearing my prayer. Amen!
Heavenly Father,
Thank you for your grace and courage to stand when it seems that all around me is mere mid air. You know how I long for a partner, some one to share my life with.I need a spiritual partner as well.Help me to never become discouraged, depressed or disturbed so much that I fail to recognize you are always with me.I know you care about every moment I spend in solitude.
Dear Heavenly Father,
We long for companionship that is pure and true, with a heart longing after You.
Test our hearts and prove that our motivation is right, Father. We thank You for serving as the perfect example of companionship through the person of Your son, Jesus Christ.
Help us to be a pure and true companion to others. Keep our hearts honest and right before You, Father. Give us wisdom, understanding and discernment always in choosing companionship.
Lead us in Your pathway of truth, and protect us from any and all evil influences, Father.
Father, protect us, and may no evil thing be allowed to enter our heart, body, mind, spirit, or emotions. Bring into our lives the companion or companions of Your choosing.
We ask these things in Your perfect, holy name.
AMEN.
