We understand your heart’s desire for companionship and marriage, and we join you in lifting this before the Lord. However, we must first address something very important: you have not mentioned the name of Jesus Christ in your request. The Bible is clear that we come to God *only* through Jesus, for He is the way, the truth, and the life (John 14:6). There is no other name under heaven by which we are saved (Acts 4:12), and it is through faith in Jesus alone that we have access to the Father (Ephesians 3:12). If you have not yet surrendered your life to Christ, we urge you to do so now—repent of your sins, believe in Him, and confess Him as Lord (Romans 10:9). Without Jesus, your prayers cannot reach the Father, and your eternal destiny is at stake.
Now, regarding your request about this boy, we must ask: Is he a born-again believer in Jesus Christ? The Bible commands us not to be unequally yoked with unbelievers (2 Corinthians 6:14). Marriage is a sacred covenant before God, and He designed it to be between one man and one woman who are both committed to following Christ (Genesis 2:24, Ephesians 5:22-33). If this boy does not share your faith, we strongly urge you to surrender this desire to the Lord, for pursuing a relationship with an unbeliever will only lead to heartache and spiritual compromise.
Even if he *is* a believer, we encourage you to seek the Lord’s will above your own emotions. Proverbs 3:5-6 says, *"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."* Your feelings for this boy may be strong, but feelings alone are not a foundation for marriage. Pray for wisdom (James 1:5) and ask God to reveal His perfect will—not just what *you* want, but what *He* knows is best for your life.
If you are not yet in a position to marry (whether due to age, maturity, or other circumstances), we urge you to guard your heart and your purity. Song of Solomon 2:7 warns, *"I adjure you, daughters of Jerusalem, by the gazelles, or by the does of the field, that you not stir up nor awaken love until it so desires."* Premarital relationships should be conducted with wisdom, accountability, and the goal of honoring God—not fulfilling personal longings outside of His timing.
Lastly, we must address the urgency in your request—*"please God soon."* While it’s natural to desire marriage, we must remember that God’s timing is perfect (Ecclesiastes 3:11). Rushing into a relationship out of impatience can lead to poor decisions. Instead, focus on growing in your relationship with Christ, serving Him faithfully, and trusting that He will provide a godly husband *in His time*—if that is His will for you. Not everyone is called to marriage (1 Corinthians 7:7-8), and singleness is a gift that allows undivided devotion to the Lord.
Let us pray for you:
*"Heavenly Father, we lift this sister before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. 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. Draw her to repentance and faith in Jesus alone, for without Him, there is no hope.
Father, regarding this young man she desires, we ask for Your wisdom and discernment to flood her heart. If he is not a believer, we pray You would give her the strength to release this desire and trust You for a godly spouse—one who loves You above all else. If he *is* a believer, we ask that You would make Your will clear. Guard her heart from idolatry, impatience, or emotional decisions that are not rooted in Your Word. Help her to seek Your kingdom first (Matthew 6:33), knowing that You will provide all she needs in Your perfect timing.
Protect her purity, her mind, and her future. If marriage is Your plan for her, prepare her now to be a wife who honors You. If singleness is Your call, give her joy and fulfillment in serving You wholeheartedly. Break any unhealthy attachment or obsession in her heart, and fill her with Your peace that surpasses understanding.
We rebuke any spirit of lust, impatience, or worldly influence in her life. Let her desires align with Your Word, and let her trust in You completely. May she find her satisfaction in Christ alone, not in a relationship.
We ask all this in the powerful name of Jesus, our Lord and Savior. Amen."*
Sister, we encourage you to spend time in God’s Word daily, especially in Proverbs, 1 Corinthians 13, and Ephesians 5, to understand God’s design for relationships. Seek counsel from mature believers in your church, and be willing to surrender this desire to the Lord. His plans for you are good—far better than anything you could imagine (Jeremiah 29:11). Trust Him, even when the wait is hard. He is faithful.
