Father

Lately I have been praying a lot about bring glory to your name. In doing so you have shown me a lot of my ways and myself. Father I all I want to do is be pleasing to you. To bring honor to you and to bring glory to your name. I don't want to hinder anyone from calling on you. I don't want to do anything that is dishonorable in your sight. I want to be righteous and holy before you a holy God. To be honest, in the beginning I wanted to get married because I loved Yvonne and I wanted to spend my life with her. I wanted to have long lasting Godly companionship. However, somewhere along the lines we allowed the enemy to come in and deceive us. Then we went from simply long lasting Godly relationship to fornication. Which in turn turned our desire to be married into God I don't want to be in sin. I want to be able to make love to the person I love without guilt. How many of us know that that is wrong. Before we got to the one year count down you gave us some instruction to follow. We followed partially and still left us feeling guilty. It wasn't until convocation that I really saw what was happening. Bishop Vaughn said that the devil knows that he can't stop the will of God over our lives so he gets in there with you and have you do it wrong. We allowed the enemy to come in and pervert the gift that you had given us. Each other. Then we refrained. However we would still make out in the car like teenagers. How many of us know that that to is unacceptable. Then my developing prayer life begin to grow more and more intense. You started to speak to me and give me power and wisdom. My mind has shifted. My thoughts are different about marriage and about my life as a whole. My focus has shifted from pleasing myself to pleasing you. Father here is my reason for wanting to be married. Throughout my life I have known you and known of you. You have kept me through many trials and tribulations, many storms and many test. Many ups and many downs. I have perverted my body I have done all sorts of evil in your sight. I have defiled my temple with strong drink, women and masturbation. I have defiled women though never disrespectful I still took advantage of their virtue that was created for there husband's. Father I have done all sorts of things that you hate. I've even stolen the virtue of the woman you promised to be my wife. First I want to apologize for my selfishness and my ignorance. The reason I would like to be married is to restore the honor.that you have placed in me to bring you glory. I'm grateful for all that you have done and have been to me and to show my gratitude I want to bring honor to you. To live holy and acceptable to you. To live righteous. I love Yvonne lord and you have given her as a gift to me. I will never defile her again. I will protect her virtue I will protect her spirit and I will protect her mind. Through the means in which you have given me. For all the wrong I have done my king let me do 100 times more right. Let me be 100 times more righteous than before. Through my marriage give me the opportunity to prove my faithfulness to you. I believe what you say and I take it to heart. Now avenge all of our disobedience now that our obedience is fulfilled. I surrender this courtship, the wedding, the honeymoon and the reception as vessels to bring you honor. Let your holy spirit keep me and endow me with all wisdom and knowledge. Father of I don't keep my word to you in this vow. Please do as you have said and kill me so that I do not contaminate anyone else. It's time out for foolishness I am more serious about you lord then I've ever been. Thank you for your word of you are cleaning us up mad preparing us for you glory. Do Lord. Do it.
