Trusting Jesus For the Right Person

Dear Jesus.  Help me to 
trust you and wait.
That in time.  You'll bring me
 the right mate.

Someday, I desire to have 
a family and a house.
But I'm confused when it comes 
to choosing a spouse.

When this is going to happen? 
 I do not know.
Teach me patience Lord. 
 I need it so!

Help me to choose someone. 
 I don't trust my flesh.
If I do... I could really end
 up in a "big mess."

Take control of my thoughts 
and what I want to say.
Conforming me to Jesus.  
In a more Christ'like way.

Till that special day.  When I'll wed
 and say "I do."
Help me Jesus to find a mate 
who's in love with YOU!
