The Prayer That Changed My Life

The prayer that changed my life…

What is it you ask? Well, it’s the prayer of ignition.

I started praying this prayer after experiencing one of the hardest heartbreaks of my life.

It also just happens to be part of my vows to my husband, JJ.

“I hear your prayers. Your pain for all those years… has not been in vain. I have been handwriting a love story better than you could ever imagine. Just you wait.”

These were the words I heard from the Lord after my prayer of ignition. I still vividly remember that moment with him. I remember how defeated I felt. In all honesty, I was so so tired.

Exhausted from rejection. Exhausted from working so hard on myself yet STILL not seeing the results I longed for. Exhausted from feeling like there was NOTHING left I could think of to do.

So in that moment, I decided to let go and truly truly trust God. I decided to remind myself that God is a GOOD God who has good things for us.

A prayer of ignition

By definition the word “ignite” means to “catch fire”. It’s a word that’s barely used but it’s a word that holds so much meaning to me now.

The crazy and most beautiful part of mine and JJ’s love story was that not only was I praying a prayer of ignition for my future spouse… but so was he.

My prayer: “God IGNITE the heart of the man that is for me. That that man would pursue me through the Good, Bad and ugly.”

His prayer: “Lord, I want my heart to be ignited for the woman you have for me.”
