God Bless My Girl With A Godly Husband

Lord, like so many little girls, I know my daughter will dream of being a bride.  There will be fairy tale weddings and Prince Charming affections to dream about while she is young.   Her 'true love' hasn't made his entrance yet, perhaps he isn't even born, but I want to ask, today, that You begin to prepare their hearts for each other.
 
To her future husband, mold his heart after Yours and set it toward the things of God.  Set his path to encounter You time and time again and fill him with Your Spirit.
 
Place within him, even at this time, the desire to love my daughter “as Christ loves His Church and gave Himself up for her.” (Ephesians 5:25)  May he “love his wife as his own body.” (Ephesians 5:28)
 
Place him in a home with Godly parents and influence.  May his father be full of grace and great wisdom, passing to his son an inheritance of faith.  May his father speak of the faithfulness of God and speak freely of the Lord’s goodness.  May he be seen standing in the storm trusting completely in You.   May he teach his son the attributes of a Godly man and, by example, how to govern his home respectfully.
 
May his mother guide him to spiritual maturity and 
surround him with the Word of God each day.  May she teach him about governing finances and the ways of the household.  May she stand in the gap and face the fierce storm on his behalf till of age he can stand on his own, knowing his God is with him.  

In the quiet hour or in the clatter, may his mother and father be the anchor in their home for him to grow in rest.
 
I pray that he will be surrounded with a great amount of love and support.   As he grows, may Your words be on his lips, evidence of Your presence in his heart.
 
You know where he is today; grant him a safe and healthy up-bringing.  Hide him from the enemy and from any attack.   Redirect a path leading to destruction.  Keep him strong in body.  Grant him joy and a merry heart.  May his life be happy.
 
Prepare them both today for their encounter tomorrow.  Keep them only for each other and keep them pure till their special day of Covenant.

May he be a kind man, gentle towards my daughter, considering her before himself.  May he speak words of encouragement, uplifting her during those times of stress and conflict.
 

Place within him a call of the Lord.  Let him find great pleasure in Your presence.  May he never be too proud to fall on his face before You.  And may he be a person of study of Your Word seeking Your truth and guidance for everyday decisions that they will encounter.
   
Grant him a good work ethic, never letting his family be in lack.  Remove any laziness from his character even now as a child.
 
Bless their home with prosperity.  Bless the work of their hands.  Multiply finances and provide every need.  May there be plenty to live without debt and plenty to bless others.  

May their home be a place of refuge and place of peace.  May they possess healthy seed to produce strong children and may these children grow to be mighty men and women of God;  following the You in all their ways, seeking You as the Author of their life.  May they be taught by their parents Godly attributes and to love Your Word.
 

Bless my daughter with a special love for her husband, keeping herself only to him.  May she find that special way of lifting him up and showing him that their relationship is a treasure.
 
Help her to be a good wife and respect her husband.  May her words be of great peace and wisdom to him.   Grant her the abilities to create a warm, restful atmosphere in their home.
 
May their life together be long and healthy, growing every year closer to each other and to You.
 
In the name of Jesus---Amen
