Prayer of a Girl for Marriage

O Lord, full of mercy! I know that my great happiness depends on how I love You with all my soul and with all my heart, and fulfill Your Holy Will in all things. Direct, O my God, my soul yourself and fill my heart with love. I desire to please You alone, for You are my Creator and my God. Guard me from pride and self‑love. Let reason, modestness and virtue adorn me. Laziness is contrary to You and brings forth sin and vice, therefore grant me a desire for diligent work and bless my labors.

Since Your Holy Law commands people to live in truthful and honorable marriage, lead me, Holy Father, to this state sanctified by You, not to satisfy my own desire, but to fulfill Your purpose and plan, for You said: it is not good for the man to be alone, and having created a woman as a helper for him, You blessed them to grow, multiply, and fill the earth.

Hear my humble prayer, brought up from the depth of my maiden heart to You; grant me a husband who is honest, responsible and godly, that together we may serve and glorify You, the Merciful and Wise God—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—in peace, truth, love and harmony, now and ever, and unto ages of ages. Amen.
