We join you in lifting this man before the Lord, seeking His perfect will in this situation. It is beautiful that you desire for him to seek God first, for this is the foundation of all wisdom and righteousness. As it is written in **Matthew 6:33**, *"But seek first God’s Kingdom and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well."* We pray that this man’s heart would be fully surrendered to Christ, that he would walk in obedience and grow in faith, becoming a man who honors the Lord in every area of his life.
However, we must gently address something important in your prayer. You asked for this man to be your "lifetime partner," but Scripture is clear that marriage is a sacred covenant between one man and one woman, established by God for His glory. If you are not yet married, we encourage you to seek this relationship as a potential courtship with the intent of marriage—if it aligns with God’s will. **2 Corinthians 6:14** reminds us, *"Don’t be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what communion has light with darkness?"* If this man is not a believer, we must pray earnestly for his salvation first, for how can two walk together unless they are in agreement with Christ?
Additionally, we must be cautious in praying for God to *favor* a relationship that may not yet be rooted in His design. Instead, we should ask for discernment, wisdom, and patience, trusting that if this connection is from the Lord, He will make it clear in His perfect timing. **Proverbs 3:5-6** tells us, *"Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight."*
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with this sister’s heartfelt request, asking that Your will be done in this man’s life. Lord, draw him closer to You—save him if he does not yet know You, and sanctify him if he does. Shape him into a man after Your own heart, one who walks in integrity, faith, and love. Give our sister wisdom and patience as she waits on You. If this connection is from You, Lord, make it clear and guide them both into a godly courtship that honors You. But if it is not Your will, give her the strength to trust You and release this desire into Your hands.
We rebuked any ungodly soul ties or emotional attachments that may cloud her judgment. Let her find her fulfillment in You alone, knowing that You are her greatest love and provider. Guard her heart, Lord, and keep her pure in thought, word, and deed. May she seek Your kingdom first, trusting that You will add all things to her as she delights in You.
We pray for a godly marriage for her in Your perfect timing—a marriage built on Christ, the solid Rock. Until then, help her to walk in holiness, contentment, and faith. May she not rush ahead of You but wait patiently for Your best.
In the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, we pray. Amen.
