Women Who Wait

In every young woman,

there is a deep desire for something -

something that is as yet unfulfilled.

The root of this yearning

can be

a dream to have a happier marriage,

to be married,

to have children,

or to

have a loved one be saved.

Those desires and other desires

can fill a woman's heart with yearning.

There are many deeply passionate desires

of a woman

that can distract her from intimacy with God.

Her desire

can pop up

at any time and demand attention

while

producing the pain of another day of disappointment.

Many times we camp on scripture such as

"Delight yourself in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart." Psalm 37:4

The longing for the

desires

of our heart

can sometimes be

overwhelming.

The following prayers

for unmet desires

are written to

help sustain you

while you wait for God

to give you the desires of your heart.

We at Inspirational-Prayers

stand with you for your prayer request for unmet desires.

Prayers for unmet desires

In the First Prayer,

a woman is being reflective and realizing that

she needs to capture her thoughts and subdue her emotions.

She is trying to

get control over her desires

in order to move forward with her day.

In the Second Prayer

a woman is dealing with

emotions that are screaming at her

and

she is struggling.

First Prayer for Unmet Desires

Dear Lord,

My heart has been dwelling on the things I want, not the things I’ve got.

It takes away my joy and draws me away from your plan for my day.

Forgive me, Lord.

Remind me to meditate on you.

Teach me to so deeply enjoy your blessings in my life that I can easily reject dissatisfaction.

May I fully embrace your plan for me today.

Amen

Second Prayer for Unmet Desires

Dear God,

My heart aches.

My deep desires keep finding their way into the center of my attention.

Frustration forces its way into my life as I cry out for my desire to be fulfilled.

Oh, God. I cannot make it happen.

I cannot produce the one thing that has remained outside of my grasp.

Oh, God, have mercy on me.

Bring my desire into a position of peaceful surrender.

Enable my emotions to obey your will for me this day.

I want to want your will for this day and each day of my life.

Amen
