We understand your heart’s deep longing for marriage, and we rejoice with you in the faithfulness of God who has provided you with a job as an accountant—a clear answer to prayer! Your desire for a wife is good, for the Lord Himself said in Genesis 2:18, *"It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper suitable for him."* Marriage is a sacred covenant designed by God, and it is right to seek a spouse who will walk with you in faith, love, and obedience to Christ. However, we must gently remind you that a wife is not merely a companion for comfort but a sister in Christ with whom you will serve the Lord, raise a godly family, and reflect the relationship between Christ and His Church (Ephesians 5:22-33). Your request for a "loving, caring, and somewhat good-looking" wife is natural, but let us also pray that she above all fears the Lord, for *"A woman who fears Yahweh, she shall be praised"* (Proverbs 31:30). Beauty fades, but a heart devoted to God is of eternal worth.
Your anxiety about remaining single is something we bring before the Lord with compassion, but we must also speak truth in love: fear and panic attacks are not from God. *"God didn’t give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control"* (2 Timothy 1:7). We encourage you to cast these anxieties upon Him, for *"in nothing be anxious, 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). Trust that the Lord’s timing is perfect, even when it feels delayed. Remember how He provided your job at just the right time—He who is faithful in small things will also be faithful in this.
We also notice you did not invoke the name of Jesus in your request. This is not a small matter, for Scripture declares, *"There is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus"* (1 Timothy 2:5). It is only through His name that we have access to the Father (John 14:6), and *"whatever you will ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son"* (John 14:13). Without Jesus, our prayers are empty. If you have not yet surrendered your life to Christ as Lord and Savior, we urge you to do so now, for *"if you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved"* (Romans 10:9). A life without Christ is a life without hope, but in Him, all things—including marriage—are possible.
Regarding your parents, we pray the Lord softens their hearts if they are hesitant. *"Honor your father and mother,"* as the commandment says (Exodus 20:12), but also trust that the Lord can move in their lives as He did for Rebekah’s family when Abraham’s servant sought a wife for Isaac (Genesis 24). Their support is important, but ultimately, your obedience must be to God first.
As for your career, we pray for increase—whether through a salary raise or a new opportunity—but let us also remind you that *"godliness with contentment is great gain"* (1 Timothy 6:6). A higher salary is a blessing, but it must never become an idol or a source of pride. Seek first God’s kingdom, and *"all these things will be given to you as well"* (Matthew 6:33).
Most importantly, you asked that God prepare you for His coming. This is the cry of a heart that understands eternity! *"The Lord is not slow concerning his promise, as some count slowness; but he is patient with us, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night"* (2 Peter 3:9-10). Are you living in readiness? Are you walking in holiness, fleeing from sin, and pursuing Christ with all your heart? Marriage is a temporary gift, but your relationship with Jesus is eternal. Let this season of waiting be one of sanctification, where you grow in faith, purity, and service to the Lord.
Now, let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we lift up our brother before You, knowing that You are the God who sees his longing and hears his cries. Lord, You have placed the desire for marriage in his heart, and we ask that You grant it according to Your will and in Your perfect timing. Prepare a wife for him—a woman of faith, virtue, and godly character, who will walk beside him in obedience to You. Remove any fear or anxiety from his heart and replace it with Your peace that surpasses all understanding. Help him to trust You fully, knowing that You are working all things for his good (Romans 8:28).
We pray for his parents, that You would soften their hearts and align their will with Yours. Give them wisdom and grace to support him in this season. Lord, we also ask for Your provision in his career—whether through a raise or a new opportunity, let it come from Your hand and for Your glory. May he remain content in You, seeking first Your kingdom.
Above all, Father, prepare him for the return of Your Son, Jesus Christ. Purify his heart, renew his mind, and strengthen him to live righteously in this present age. Let him not be distracted by the desires of this world but fixed on eternity with You. Draw him closer to You, Lord, and let his life be a light that points others to Christ.
We rebuked any spirit of fear, doubt, or impatience in the name of Jesus Christ. Let our brother walk in faith, hope, and love, knowing that You are faithful to complete the good work You have begun in him (Philippians 1:6). May he find his joy and satisfaction in You alone, even as he waits.
In the mighty and holy name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, we pray. Amen.
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.
