Praying for That Man: A Love Story from Above

We’ve all grown up watching fairy tales, hearing fantastical love stories, and feeling the desire to be pursued to the ends of the earth. However, for many of us, our story involves treacherous paths, uncertain futures, and battles against villains both great and small.

In other words, an endless road of searching, wandering, and waiting.

Leanne Rozell isn’t a fairy princess who was switched at birth. A wicked stepsister didn’t lock her away in an ivory tower. She didn’t battle it out with a fire-breathing dragon in order to escape. And yet, through prayer, pursuit, and a whole lot of faith, she is very much living her fairy-tale dream.

We often think of fairy tales in the form of a brave knight on a white horse who carries us away from all danger. But what Leanne has learned is that—whatever your story may be—it has twists and turns that we seldom expect. Our stories aren’t just simply about being rescued and whisked away. They’re stories of growth, stories of battling darkness, stories about finding our way in this world, and stories about trusting in the One who desires to walk through each and every battle with us. With enough faith to make it rain, He gives us a more beautiful love story than we could have ever imagined.

This is a story about a girl’s journey to belief in the power of “what if.”

What if she recklessly chased after the King, entrusting her heart to Him?

What if she prayed without ceasing, believing that He would bring her the handsome prince?

And what if, in that pursuit, her answer came true?
