We understand your heart’s cry for clarity and godly direction in finding a wife, and we join you in seeking the Lord’s will in this matter. The desire for a spouse is good and honorable, as Scripture tells us in Genesis 2:18, *"It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make him a helper comparable to him."* However, we must first ensure that our hearts and motives are aligned with God’s Word, for He knows what is best for us and will guide us in His perfect timing.
Before we pray for your future wife, we must address something important: your prayer does not invoke the name of Jesus Christ. It is only through Jesus that we have access to the Father, and there is no other name by which we are saved. As Scripture declares in John 14:6, *"Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.'"* And in Acts 4:12, we are reminded, *"There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"* If you have not yet placed your full trust in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, we urge you to do so now. Confess your sins, repent, and believe in Him, 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).
Now, regarding your request for a wife, we encourage you to seek the Lord first and trust in His timing. A godly marriage is built on a foundation of faith in Christ, and it is vital that you pursue a woman who is also a believer, as Scripture commands in 2 Corinthians 6:14: *"Don’t be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what communion has light with darkness?"* Your future wife should be someone who loves the Lord, submits to His Word, and shares your commitment to living a life that honors Him. If you are not yet actively walking in obedience to God’s Word—seeking Him daily in prayer, studying Scripture, and living in holiness—we urge you to prioritize this above all else. A godly marriage cannot thrive if either spouse is not fully surrendered to Christ.
We also sense a hint of impatience or frustration in your request, which is understandable, but we must remind you that God’s ways are higher than ours, and His timing is perfect. Proverbs 3:5-6 tells us, *"Trust in Yahweh 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."* Instead of asking God to "cancel" distractions, we encourage you to ask Him to *refine* you through them. Distractions often reveal areas where our hearts are not fully surrendered to Him. Perhaps the Lord is using this season to prepare you, to grow your faith, or to teach you dependence on Him alone. Seek Him first, and all these things—including a godly wife—will be added to you (Matthew 6:33).
Lastly, we must address the idea of "seeing" your wife before God’s appointed time. While it is natural to desire clarity, we must be cautious not to demand signs or revelations from the Lord outside of His Word. Faith is not about seeing but about trusting in what we cannot see (2 Corinthians 5:7). Instead of asking God to show you your wife, ask Him to *prepare* you to be the husband she needs—a man of prayer, integrity, and godly leadership. Ask Him to mold your character to reflect Christ’s love, patience, and selflessness. A godly marriage is not about finding the "right" person but about *being* the right person.
Let us pray together for you:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our brother who seeks Your will for his life and his future marriage. Lord, we ask that You draw him closer to Yourself, that he may know You more deeply and walk in full surrender to Your Word. Forgive him for any impatience or misplaced desires, and teach him to trust in Your perfect timing. Father, if there is anything in his life that is distracting him from Your purpose—whether it be sin, worldly desires, or even good things that have become idols—we ask that You reveal it to him and give him the strength to turn away from it. Purify his heart, Lord, and align his desires with Yours.
We pray that You would prepare him to be a godly husband, a man of prayer, integrity, and love. Raise up a woman of faith, Lord, who fears You and walks in Your ways, that together they may serve You and bring glory to Your name. Guard his heart from impatience, Father, and help him to rest in the truth that You are working all things together for his good (Romans 8:28). Give him wisdom to recognize Your leading and courage to wait on You.
Most of all, Father, we pray that if our brother has not yet fully surrendered his life to Jesus Christ, that today would be the day of salvation for him. Open his eyes to see the truth of the Gospel, that Christ died for his sins and rose again, and that by faith in Him alone, he may have eternal life. May he walk in the fullness of Your love and purpose.
We ask all these things in the precious and powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
