Original Journal Entry · 02 May 2014
Lord, I pray for a man who loves You more than he loves me.
A man of integrity. A man who leads with wisdom and follows with humility.
I trust You with this. I trust You with him.
— D.A.
Written while she was single. Before she knew his name.
The Story
In 2014, Dammy Akhigbe sat down with a journal and wrote thirty prayers. Not prayers for a job, or a house, or a holiday — but prayers for a husband she had never met. She prayed with specificity, with faith, and with complete surrender.
She prayed for his character. His relationship with God. The way he would lead. The way he would love. She prayed for things she didn't even have language for yet — and God heard every word.
He did.
Ten years later, married to the man those prayers described — almost word for word — Dammy is sharing those thirty prayers with you. Not as a formula. Not as a guarantee. But as a testimony: that God is faithful, that waiting is not wasted, and that faith written down has a way of becoming a story you get to live.
"Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart."
— Psalm 37:4
