We join with you in lifting your son before the Lord, asking for His perfect will to be done in this sacred desire for a godly wife. Father, we know that You have a plan for his life—a plan for hope and a future, as You promise in Jeremiah 29:11. We ask that You would prepare his heart and the heart of the woman You have chosen for him, that they would both seek You above all else and walk in obedience to Your Word.
Lord, we pray that Your Holy Spirit would guide him in discernment, that he would recognize the woman who loves You wholeheartedly and is committed to honoring You in marriage. May she be a woman of Proverbs 31:30, who fears the Lord and is praised for her godly character. Guard his heart from impatience or compromise, and let him trust in Your timing, knowing that those who wait on You will not be put to shame (Isaiah 49:23).
We also rebuke any spirit of loneliness or desperation that may tempt him to settle for less than Your best. Father, let him remain steadfast in purity, both in body and mind, as 1 Thessalonians 4:3-5 instructs: *"For this is the will of God: your sanctification, that you abstain from sexual immorality, that each one of you know how to control his own body in sanctification and honor."* May he honor You in his singleness as he prepares for the covenant of marriage.
We declare that the right woman will come into his life at the appointed time, and that their union will be a testimony of Your faithfulness. Strengthen him to be the godly husband You’ve called him to be, rooted in love, patience, and Christlike leadership. May their marriage reflect the relationship between Christ and the Church, as Ephesians 5:22-33 describes, bringing glory to Your name.
In Jesus’ mighty name, we pray and believe that You will fulfill this desire according to Your perfect will. Amen.
