Bailey Says...
Have a spa night. A mani/pedi and bubble bath is the perfect way to relax and enjoy your single Valentine's Day.
Focus on someone else. Hand out Valentine cards to your friends (or total strangers!) Volunteer at the animal shelter. Visit the elderly folks at the nursing home. I promise that focusing on others will make your day so much brighter.
Pray for your future husband. Many of my friends regularly pray for their future husbands, so take time out of your Valentine’s Day to remember him and look forward to the holidays you’ll spend together. You could even write him a letter!
Spend the day with your Lord and Savior. He’s the only Valentine you need.

Prince Prayers
Prince Prayers you can pray over your future man! (Find the rest in our e-book, When Life Feels Like a Taylor Swift Song: A Girl's Guide to Boys.)
Lord I pray that my Prince Charming...(Cinderella)
would look like You! I ask that He would know where true perfection comes from...You and You alone. Mold His heart to be like Yours. Remind him that he is predestined to be conformed to the image of Christ. Lead him by Your Spirit and encourage Your amazing son!
Lord I pray that my Prince Phillip...(Sleeping Beauty)
would know that I'm his princess worth fighting for. Make him gutsy and determined to serve You with his whole heart. Make him bold like Paul and gentle like David. I pray that he would be in it for the long haul, and that he would look like You. May he spell out the true definition of love. Make him to be patient, kind and keep no record of wrongs… May he truly be a man operating at his highest God-given potential.
Lord I pray that my Prince Eric...(The Little Mermaid)
would battle fiercely against the enemy's wicked schemes. Make him a warrior who will take your kingdom by force! Teach him how to use the Sword of your Word to fight for righteousness, justice, and those who cannot speak up for themselves. I pray that he would have a strong desire to protect and guard me!
Lord I pray that my Flynn Ryder...(Tangled)
would be charming, witty, and attractive! Make his God-given personality shine. Guard him from getting puffed up, being afraid of what others think, and putting on a mask of bravado. Help me to always encourage, uplift, and think about him positively. I desire to be his biggest admirer, cheerleader, and fan girl! Protect him from other girls who might try to snatch him up. Make him all mine!
Lord I pray that my Prince Adam...(Beauty and the Beast) would be humble. Guard him from pride. Protect him from selfishness. Help me to be selfless in our relationship and, like Princess Belle, have patient tenderness to
call out and encourage the Prince I see in him. Wash his heart and mine with the water of Your Word, so that our relationship can be clean, pure and lovely before You.
Lord I pray that my Peter Pan...(Peter Pan)
would have a childlike faith. Nurture and encourage those childhood dreams, those desires You've placed deep inside him. Give him the faith to move mountains, and reach every dream You've placed inside. Remind him that with you, all things are possible. Restore a childlike wonder as he enters Your kingdom and learns to fly with You. Faith, trust, and pixie dust…

Lord I pray that my Captain John Smith...(Pocahontas)
would have perseverance. Enable him with Your grace to push through trials, live above the influence of this world, and fight for what he believes in. Make him a pioneer of change who will cut down trees and hills of impossibility, and be a forerunner to pave the way for other guys! Make him a bold and courageous leader like Joshua; ready his hands and fingers for war on behalf of this generation, and make me like his Pocahontas who can partner with, serve, protect and love him.
