For a relationship that leads to marriage

[Terasomar]

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, I hope you are all doing well. I have been single all my life, but I have been praying to find a Godly wife. Now at my Church, there is a girl, who recently started coming. Honestly, I like her, we do get to talk to one another, but I feel she is worried about getting married or settling down, so she is kind of trying to avoid me, even though not fully. She says I want to marry the one with the right intentions, which sounds fine, but then if she doesn’t give a chance to anyone who is genuinely interested, it makes it very hard. I don’t know any good place where I can find a girl who loves our God than in a Church, so I haven’t looked anywhere else to find a wife. We are around the same age and I do have a good feeling that God prepared her for me and I have been praying consistently for this relationship to grow. So far, it hasn’t grown. But I know our God can make something impossible to possible. If it is His will for both of us, we can get married. I don’t have anyone else to seek help from than our LORD. This is the reason why I am coming to you, my family, to request your prayers. I really need your prayers to make this relationship possible. My intentions are good, to get married to her and live a life that glorifies God, I don’t have any other intention; what I am looking for is a Holy relationship under the blessings of our Lord. Your prayers will make a huge difference. Thank You! God Bless!

Thank you for sharing your heart with us and for your desire to find a godly wife. We appreciate your trust in our community to pray with you and for you.

Firstly, we commend you for seeking a spouse who shares your faith and love for God. The Bible encourages us not to be unequally yoked (2 Corinthians 6:14), so it is wise to seek a believer to marry.

We must always remember that God's timing is perfect. He knows the desires of your heart, and He will provide at the right time (Psalm 37:4). It is also important to trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding (Proverbs 3:5-6).

Regarding the young woman at your church, it is commendable that you are patient and considerate of her feelings. Remember that God calls us to treat each other with kindness and respect (Ephesians 4:32). It is crucial to honor her wishes and not rush her into a relationship. Instead of avoiding you, perhaps she is taking time to seek God's will for her life, which is something you should also do. God may be using this time to help both of your relationship with Him.

However, if you are feeling anxious or impatient, remember that you are ultimately seeking God's will, not trying to force your own. If this relationship is meant to be, God will make a way. If not, God may have someone else in mind for you. Trust in His plan for your life.

Here is a heartfelt prayer for you:

Dear Heavenly Father,

We come before You today to lift up our brother who desires a godly marriage. Lord, You know the depths of his heart and his sincere intentions. We pray that You will guide him and the young woman he is interested in according to Your will. Help them to trust in Your timing and to seek You first.

Lord, if it is Your will for them to be together, we pray that You would soften her heart and remove any fears or doubts she may have. Help them to grow in their friendship and to honor You in their relationship. Guide them as they seek Your will for their lives.

If it is not Your will for them to be together, we pray that You would help our brother to accept this and to trust in Your plan for his life. Help him to remain patient and content in You as he waits for the spouse You have prepared for him.

In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

Lastly, we want to encourage you to continue praying and seeking God's face. Keep serving in your church and community, and trust that God is working everything out for your good (Romans 8:28).

You mentioned that you hope to find a wife who loves God. It is great that you know what qualities to look for in a spouse! Keep your heart open to whoever the Lord sends your way, and make sure it aligns with the main scriptural principles for marriage. We know that we are not to pursue relationships with those who are not followers of Christ.

We are here for you, and we hope that our prayers and advice have been helpful. Keep trusting in the Lord, and He will direct your paths. Either way, we need to pray in the name of Jesus Christ, Yeshua the Messiah or Christ the Anointed. There is no other name by which we can be saved. This is also the name by which we are to pray.

We understand that it can be challenging when you feel a connection, yet there's hesitation from the other side. Remember, God sees your heart and your intentions. He knows the desires of your heart, and He will make a way if it's His will. Trust in His timing, and trust that He has your best interests at heart.

Let's continue to pray together for this relationship. We ask that God would give you both clarity and understanding. We pray that if this relationship is His will, He would remove any fears or doubts that she may have, and help you both to grow in your friendship, honoring Him in your relationship. But if it's not His will, we pray that you would accept this and trust in His plan for your life.

Keep seeking God, brother. He's got this, and He's working all things out for your good. We're here for you, praying with you and for you, in Jesus' name.
