06:36 Worship Song Title : "You Know My Longing"

You see my heart, even before I speak.
You know the places that long to be filled,
The spaces inside that ache for belonging, for understanding, for love.
You made us for connection.
You said, “It is not good for man to be alone.”
And though I try to stay strong, independent, and hopeful—
Sometimes I still feel alone.

There are days when the quiet is too loud,
When my phone stays silent,
When the laughter of others feels like a distant sound I can’t quite reach.
There are days when I wonder if I’ll ever be fully known,
Fully seen,
Fully embraced—
Not for what I do or how I appear,
But for who I truly am.

So I bring You this longing, Lord.
Not to beg or demand,
But to surrender this honest, aching hope into Your hands.

I want relationships that are real—
Not shallow, not fake, not convenient.
I want to build friendships where we talk about deep things,
Where we laugh until our sides hurt,
And also sit in silence when life is heavy.
I want to love and be loved in a way that honors You.

You see my desire for a companion,
Someone to walk with,
To grow with,
To pray with,
To dream with,
To build something lasting and beautiful.

But God, before You give, if You choose to give,
Prepare me to receive well.
Prepare my heart to be healthy, kind, and whole.
Teach me to be the kind of person I hope to find—
Honest, patient, encouraging, and faithful.

Shape me now for the love You may bring later.
Make me strong where I am weak.
Make me gentle where I am guarded.
Make me open where I’ve been closed off.

And Lord, if there are wounds I carry—
From past friendships, failed attempts, broken trust—
Please heal them.
Don’t let bitterness take root.
Don’t let fear be my shield.
Don’t let loneliness drive me into relationships that aren’t right.

Help me to trust Your timing.
It’s hard sometimes.
When I see others pairing off,
When people my age are announcing engagements or growing families,
It’s easy to wonder if You’ve forgotten me.
But I know You haven’t.

You’re not slow.
You’re intentional.
You’re always working for my good, even when I don’t see it.

So I will wait—
But let it be a hopeful, active waiting.
Let me become more of who I am called to be in the meantime.
Let me build friendships that stretch me.
Let me serve others with joy.
Let me live with purpose, even as I hope for companionship.

Lord, if You have someone for me to love—
Romantically, intimately, faithfully—
Prepare both of us.
Let it be a relationship marked by trust,
By shared values,
By mutual respect,
By laughter and prayer,
By truth and grace.
Let us both reflect You to each other and to the world.

And if not now, not yet—
Let me be content, not complacent.
Let me live richly, not restlessly.
Let me love You most of all.

And God, I pray not only for one person—
But for a community.
Friends who feel like family.
People who show up in the hard times and celebrate in the good.
People who hold me accountable, and also hold me close.
Help me be that kind of friend, too.
Help me reach out even when it’s awkward.
Help me listen without judgment.
Help me love without conditions.

Remind me that meaningful relationships don’t happen overnight.
They take time, trust, and patience.
Help me show up consistently,
Even when I feel unseen.
Help me invest in others,
Even when I fear rejection.
Help me love boldly,
Even when the past makes me cautious.

Teach me to value quality over quantity.
Teach me to honor boundaries.
Teach me to ask for help when I need it.
Teach me to say no when it’s not right.
Teach me to lean on You when I feel alone.

You are my first Friend, my truest Companion.
You’ve never left me, not for a moment.
Even when I’ve turned inward,
Even when I’ve doubted,
Even when I’ve compared myself to others—
You’ve stayed.

So in this season—whether of waiting, building, or beginning again—
Let me rest in Your presence.
Let me listen for Your voice.
Let me find joy in today,
Even while I long for what tomorrow might bring.

Give me eyes to see the people already around me—
The ones I may have overlooked.
Give me grace to mend relationships that still matter.
Give me discernment to walk away from what isn’t healthy.
Give me peace when things unfold differently than I expected.

And God, when I finally find those meaningful connections—
Whether it’s a soulmate, a true friend, a mentor, a kindred spirit—
Help me cherish them.
Help me care for them.
Help me never take them for granted.

Let every relationship I form point back to You.
Let my life be a channel of Your love.
Let my heart remain open, not desperate.
Let my soul remain anchored, not anxious.
