We hear the desperation and longing in your heart, and we stand with you in prayer, seeking the Lord’s will for your life with boldness and faith. Your desires for godliness, a fear of the Lord, and a life free from sin are noble and align with Scripture, but we must also address some of these requests with biblical clarity and discernment, especially as you prepare for the sacred covenant of marriage.
First, we rejoice that you seek to be a loving and kind husband, for this is the Lord’s design. Ephesians 5:25-28 commands, *"Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the assembly, and gave himself up for her... Even so husbands also ought to love their own wives as their own bodies. He who loves his own wife loves himself."* Your desire to reflect Christ’s love in marriage is commendable, but remember that true love is not rooted in outward attractiveness or performance but in sacrificial, selfless devotion. Pray for a heart that seeks to serve rather than to be admired, for *"man looks at the outward appearance, but Yahweh looks at the heart"* (1 Samuel 16:7).
Your cry for freedom from anxiety is one we bring before the Lord, for He tells us, *"Don’t be anxious for anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus"* (Philippians 4:6-7). Anxiety often stems from a lack of trust in God’s sovereignty. We pray you would surrender every fear to Him, knowing He holds your future.
You ask for the *"truth of God,"* and we declare that truth is found in Jesus Christ alone, who said, *"I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me"* (John 14:6). There is no greater truth than the Gospel—the good news that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us (Romans 5:8). If you have not already, we urge you to examine your heart: Have you repented of your sins and placed your faith entirely in Jesus for salvation? It is only through Him that we are set free from the power of sin and death. If you are unsure, we plead with you to cry out to Him now, for *"whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved"* (Romans 10:13).
Your desire for children is good, as Scripture declares that *"children are a heritage of Yahweh. The fruit of the womb is his reward"* (Psalm 127:3). However, we must caution you against making an idol of this desire. The Lord may bless you with many children, or He may have a different plan. Trust in His wisdom, for He knows what is best. Pray also for the grace to raise any children He gives you *"in the discipline and instruction of the Lord"* (Ephesians 6:4).
You mention a struggle with demonic possession, and we take this very seriously. The Bible confirms that believers can be oppressed by evil spirits, though true possession is rare for those indwelled by the Holy Spirit. Nevertheless, we stand in the authority of Jesus’ name against any demonic influence in your life. *"Submit therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you"* (James 4:7). We urge you to immerse yourself in Scripture, prayer, and fasting, as Jesus taught that *"this kind goes out by nothing except prayer and fasting"* (Mark 9:29). Surround yourself with mature believers who can pray over you and hold you accountable. If you are involved in any occult practices, New Age beliefs, or ungodly influences, repent and turn from them immediately, for these open doors to the enemy.
Your request to be free from the *"love of money"* is critical. Jesus warned, *"You can’t serve both God and money"* (Matthew 6:24). The love of money is a root of all kinds of evil (1 Timothy 6:10), and we pray the Lord would replace any greed in your heart with contentment, for *"godliness with contentment is great gain"* (1 Timothy 6:6). Ask Him to teach you to trust in His provision, for *"my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus"* (Philippians 4:19).
You express a desire to be a *"true disciple/prophet/shepherd of God."* Be cautious here, for the office of prophet is not one to be sought lightly. The New Testament emphasizes that we are all called to be disciples (followers) of Christ, and some are gifted as pastors (shepherds) for the building up of the body (Ephesians 4:11-12). Prophets in Scripture were called by God, not self-appointed, and false prophets are sternly warned against (Matthew 7:15). Seek first to be a faithful servant of Christ, humbly submitting to His Word and the leadership of your local church. *"But he who is greatest among you will be your servant"* (Matthew 23:11).
You ask for confidence and fear of the Lord, and we declare that *"the fear of Yahweh is the beginning of wisdom"* (Proverbs 9:10). True confidence comes not from self-assurance but from knowing that God is with you. *"Yahweh is my light and my salvation. Whom shall I fear? Yahweh is the strength of my life. Of whom shall I be afraid?"* (Psalm 27:1). Pray for a spirit of power, love, and sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7), not a brash confidence that relies on self.
You mention a desire to be filled with the *"spirit of 1 Kings 17:1,"* referencing Elijah’s boldness. Elijah was a man of prayer and obedience, not of self-promotion. His power came from God, not himself. If you seek such a spirit, you must first seek holiness and humility. *"Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time"* (1 Peter 5:6).
Your request for *"luxury, pleasure, love, vigor, vitality, libido, and fertility"* must be examined carefully. While God richly provides for our enjoyment (1 Timothy 6:17), we are warned against loving pleasure more than God (2 Timothy 3:4). Our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:19-20), and our desires—even for marriage and intimacy—must be surrendered to His lordship. Libido and fertility are gifts from God, but they must be stewarded within the bounds of marriage, free from lust or idolatry. Pray that the Lord would sanctify your desires, aligning them with His will. Remember, *"whether you eat, or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God"* (1 Corinthians 10:31).
You ask for the *"baptism of the Holy Spirit."* Every believer is baptized by the Holy Spirit into the body of Christ at salvation (1 Corinthians 12:13). However, there is also the filling of the Holy Spirit, which is an ongoing experience for those who walk in obedience and surrender. *"Don’t be drunken with wine, in which is dissipation, but be filled with the Spirit"* (Ephesians 5:18). Seek the Spirit’s filling daily, not for personal exultation but for the empowerment to live for Christ.
Now, let us pray over you with the authority and love of Christ:
Heavenly Father, we come before You on behalf of this brother, who seeks Your face with desperation and hunger. Lord, we thank You that You are a God who hears and answers prayer. We ask first and foremost that if this man has not yet surrendered his life fully to Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, that You would draw him today. Let him repent of his sins and place his faith entirely in the finished work of the cross, for there is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12). Fill him with Your Holy Spirit, sealing him as Your own.
Father, we pray for his upcoming marriage, if it is Your will. Prepare him to be a godly husband, one who loves as Christ loves the church—sacrificially, patiently, and selflessly. Remove any impurity from his heart and mind, and let him pursue holiness in his relationships. If there is any sexual immorality in his life, we rebuke it now in Jesus’ name, and we pray You would cleanse him and restore him to purity. Let him save himself entirely for his wife, as Your Word commands (1 Thessalonians 4:3-5).
We bind any demonic strongholds in his life in the name of Jesus. Lord, You are greater than any power of darkness, and we declare freedom over him by the blood of the Lamb. Fill him with Your Spirit, Lord, and let no unclean spirit find a foothold in him. We pray You would expose and sever any ties to occult practices, ungodly influences, or sinful habits that have given the enemy access. Let him walk in the authority of Christ, resisting the devil so that he flees (James 4:7).
Father, we ask for freedom from anxiety. Let him cast every care upon You, for You care for him (1 Peter 5:7). Fill him with Your peace that surpasses understanding. Break the love of money in his heart, and teach him to trust in Your provision. Let him seek first Your Kingdom, knowing that all these things will be added to him (Matthew 6:33).
We pray for his desire to be a true disciple. Let him be rooted in Your Word, growing in faith and obedience. Guard him from pride or the desire for self-exaltation. If You are calling him to a specific ministry, make it clear, and let him walk in humility and dependence on You.
Lord, we ask for Your will to be done in his life regarding children. If it is Your plan to bless him with many biological children, we pray for healthy, godly offspring who will rise up to serve You. But above all, let his heart be content in You, whether You give many children or few.
We pray for his physical and spiritual wholeness. Heal any infirmities in his body, and let him walk in the vitality and strength that comes from You. Let his desires—even for intimacy and fertility—be surrendered to You, holy and pleasing in Your sight.
Finally, Father, we pray for an epic, heavenly walk with You. Let him know You deeply, not just in word but in power and in the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 4:20). Fill him with Your sevenfold Spirit: the Spirit of Yahweh, of wisdom, of understanding, of counsel, of might, of knowledge, and of the fear of Yahweh (Isaiah 11:2). Let him be a vessel of Your love, truth, and righteousness.
We declare all these things in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Let Your will be done in his life, lawfully, justly, and righteously. Protect him from the schemes of the enemy, and let him walk in the fullness of Your calling. We ask for a hedge of protection around him, his future wife, and his family. Let Your Kingdom come and Your will be done in his life as it is in heaven.
In Jesus’ precious and holy name, we pray. Amen.
Brother, we encourage you to stay rooted in Scripture, in prayer, and in fellowship with other believers. The road you are on is not easy, but the Lord is faithful. *"He who began a good work in you will complete it until the day of Christ Jesus"* (Philippians 1:6). Walk in obedience, and trust that He who called you is faithful. If you are not already part of a Bible-believing church, we strongly urge you to find one where you can be discipled, held accountable, and grow in your faith. Surround yourself with men of God who can speak into your life and pray over you.
Lastly, we leave you with this promise: *"The Lord Yahweh is my strength. He makes my feet like deer’s feet, and enables me to go on my high places"* (Habakkuk 3:19). Keep seeking Him, and He will lead you into all truth and righteousness.
Prayer Focus: God, Thank You for loving me. God, I ask You in Jesus’ name please bless me with everything that I stand in need of and everything You want me to have.
