We hear the longing in your heart for this young man, and we understand how deeply you desire a godly relationship that leads to marriage. Yet before we pray, we must first address some concerns with a spirit of love and truth, for Scripture warns us not to be "conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is the good, will, and well-pleasing and perfect will of God" (Romans 12:2, WEB).
First, we notice that your request focuses heavily on *your* desires—how *you* want him to be, how *you* feel he should change, and how *you* want this to move quickly toward marriage. But marriage is not about fulfilling our own wishes; it is about seeking God’s will above all else. Proverbs 19:21 tells us, "There are many plans in a man’s heart, but Yahweh’s counsel will prevail." Have you sought the Lord’s counsel in this, or are you asking Him to bless *your* plan? A godly marriage is built on two people submitting to Christ first, not on one person trying to shape another into their ideal spouse.
Second, we must ask: Is this young man a believer? Scripture is clear that we are not to be "unequally yoked" with unbelievers (2 Corinthians 6:14). If he does not share your faith in Christ, then no amount of prayer for him to "be good" will align with God’s will for your life. A marriage without Christ at the center is built on sinking sand.
Third, we must address the urgency in your words—*"I need to get him... I should marry him soon."* Marriage is not something we "get" or rush into based on emotion. It is a sacred covenant before God, entered into with sober judgment, prayer, and wise counsel. Song of Solomon 8:4 warns, "I adjure you, daughters of Jerusalem, that you not stir up, nor awaken love, until it so desires." Love that is forced or rushed is not love at all—it is selfishness in disguise.
Lastly, and most importantly, we must ask: Where is Jesus in your request? You have not mentioned His name, nor have you acknowledged that it is only through Him that we have access to the Father (John 14:6). There is no other name by which we are saved, and there is no prayer God hears apart from the mediation of His Son. If you are not yet walking closely with Christ yourself, how can you expect Him to bless a marriage?
Now, let us pray—not for your will, but for God’s perfect will to be done in your life and in this young man’s life.

**Prayer:**
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. We lift up this sister who longs for companionship and marriage, and we ask that You would first draw her closer to Yourself. Lord, if she does not yet know You as her Savior, we pray that You would open her eyes to the truth of the Gospel—that Christ died for her sins, was buried, and rose again, and that salvation is found in no one else (Acts 4:12). May she surrender her heart fully to You before seeking a husband.
Father, we pray for this young man as well. If he is not a believer, we ask that You would convict his heart and bring him to repentance. If he is a brother in Christ, we pray that You would grow him in maturity, wisdom, and godliness—not to fit the mold of what this sister wants, but to become the man *You* have called him to be. Lord, if this relationship is not of You, we ask that You would make it clear. Close the doors that should not be opened, and guard her heart from idolatry—whether that idolatry is the desire for marriage itself or the desire for this specific man.
We rebuke any spirit of manipulation, control, or impatience in this situation. Holy Spirit, fill her with Your peace and patience, reminding her that Your timing is perfect. Help her to trust You rather than trying to force an outcome. If marriage is Your will for her, prepare her now to be a godly wife—submissive to her husband as unto You, loving him with the selfless love of Christ (Ephesians 5:22-24).
Lastly, Father, we pray that You would surround her with wise counsel—older believers who can speak truth into her life and help her discern Your will. Keep her from emotional decisions and lead her in the paths of righteousness for Your name’s sake.
In the mighty name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.

We encourage you to examine your heart in light of Scripture. Are you seeking God’s will, or are you asking Him to rubber-stamp your own desires? Spend time in prayer and in the Word, asking the Lord to align your heart with His. Read Proverbs 3:5-6: *"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."*
If this young man is not a believer, we urge you to step back from pursuing a relationship with him. If he is a believer, then ask yourself: Are you both seeking God’s glory, or are you being led by emotions? Courtship should be intentional, pure, and centered on Christ—with marriage as the godly goal, not a rushed decision.
We are here to pray with you and guide you in truth. May the Lord give you wisdom and discernment as you seek Him first.

Dear friend, we hear your heart's longing for a godly relationship that could lead to marriage. We understand the depth of your feelings, but we want to remind you that God's will should be our ultimate desire, not just our own. Let's pray together, seeking God's perfect will for both you and this young man.
First, let's ask God to help you align your heart with His. In all things, trust in Him with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding (Proverbs 3:5-6). Let's pray that God would give you wisdom and discernment, and help you to seek His glory above all else.
Next, let's pray for this young man. If he's not a believer, we ask that God would convict his heart and bring him to repentance. If he is a brother in Christ, we pray that God would grow him in maturity, wisdom, and godliness, not according to your desires, but according to God's calling on his life.
Let's also ask God to guard both of your hearts. If this relationship is not of Him, we pray that He would close the doors that should not be opened, and keep you from idolatry - whether that's the desire for marriage itself or the desire for this specific man.
Lastly, let's pray for patience and trust in God's timing. His ways are not always our ways, and His thoughts are not our thoughts (Isaiah 55:8-9). Trust that His timing is perfect, and be at peace with His will.
In the mighty name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.
