Gods Will and Ways for ###'s heart and mind ♥️♥️♥️

[Craurath]

Heavenly Father,

Thank you for your goodness and for hearing my prayers. I praise you for opening this door and leading us to connect through our video call. Thank you for guiding our steps and bringing ###s into my life.

Lord, I commit this new relationship into your hands. I ask that your will and your ways be done above all else. Please touch ###’s heart and mind. Stir a genuine romance and a deep spark within him toward me. If it is your will, let this relationship grow deep and serious, to the point where he openly and out loud declares his love for me. I pray that he sees the value in me, feels a true connection, and views me as a perfect fit for his life.

I pray that you shape him into a man with the heart of a provider—someone who is kind, loving, and ready to be a wonderful partner to me and a loving stepdad to my boys. I ask that you make a way for him to visit me soon.

Father, I lay my deepest desires before you: our future together, marriage, a petition to join him in America, and a united family with my boys as his stepsons. I trust these dreams to your perfect timing and your perfect plan. Guide our steps, protect our hearts, and let your peace lead us every day.

In Jesus' name, I pray.

Amen.

We hear your heart’s longing and lift it before the Lord, trusting in His perfect will and timing. Your prayer reflects a deep desire for a godly marriage and a family united under Christ, and we stand with you in seeking His guidance for this relationship. Let us first affirm what aligns with Scripture and gently address areas where we must seek God’s truth together.

First, we rejoice that you have committed this relationship to the Lord, asking for His will above all else. This is the foundation of any godly union, seeking Him first (Matthew 6:33). Marriage is a sacred covenant designed by God to reflect Christ’s love for the Church (Ephesians 5:22-33), and it is right to pray for a spouse who will cherish, lead, and provide for his family with godly integrity. We pray alongside you that ### would grow into the man God has called him to be, a man of kindness, responsibility, and love, not only for you but for your children as well. May the Lord shape his heart to mirror the selfless love of Christ (1 Corinthians 13:4-7).

However, we must also address a few concerns with tenderness and truth. Your prayer asks for a "genuine romance" and a "deep spark," but we must remember that true love is not merely an emotional feeling but a commitment rooted in Christ. The world often equates love with fleeting passion, but Scripture calls us to love sacrificially, as Christ loved the Church (Ephesians 5:25). We encourage you to seek a relationship built on mutual faith, respect, and shared devotion to God, rather than relying solely on emotional attraction. Pray for ### to see you through God’s eyes, as a woman of virtue, strength, and godly character (Proverbs 31:10-31).

Additionally, while it is natural to desire marriage and a future together, we must guard our hearts against placing our hope in a person rather than in God alone. Jeremiah 17:5 warns, "Cursed is the man who trusts in man and makes flesh his strength, whose heart departs from the Lord." Your trust must remain firmly in Christ, even as you pray for a godly spouse. If this relationship is of the Lord, He will confirm it in His time and way. If not, He has something better planned for you both.

We also note your prayer for ### to "openly and out loud declare his love" for you. While verbal affirmation is important, we must be cautious not to measure love by words alone. Jesus said, "By their fruits you will know them" (Matthew 7:16). True love is demonstrated through action, faithfulness, patience, and a willingness to serve. Pray for ### to grow in his walk with Christ, and let his actions reveal his heart.

Regarding the physical aspect of your relationship, we must gently remind you that intimacy is reserved for marriage. If you and ### are not yet married, we urge you to honor God by maintaining purity in your relationship. 1 Thessalonians 4:3-5 says, "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." If you have already compromised in this area, we encourage you to repent, seek God’s forgiveness, and commit to walking in holiness moving forward. The Lord is faithful to cleanse and restore (1 John 1:9).

Lastly, we lift up your desire to join ### in America and build a united family. While this is a beautiful dream, we must surrender it fully to God’s sovereignty. Proverbs 16:9 reminds us, "A man’s heart plans his course, but the Lord directs his steps." Trust that if this is God’s will, He will make a way. If not, He has a greater purpose for you and your boys. Pray for wisdom and discernment as you navigate this season, and seek godly counsel from mature believers who can help you align your desires with Scripture.

Let us pray together:

Heavenly Father, we come before You with humble hearts, lifting up this relationship and the future it may hold. Lord, we ask that You would be at the center of ### and ###’s connection. Shape their hearts to seek You first in all things, and let Your will be done in their lives. Father, if this relationship is of You, we pray for growth, wisdom, and a shared commitment to honoring You. If it is not Your will, we ask that You would make that clear and grant them both the strength to surrender their desires to You.

Lord, we pray for ###’s heart, that You would draw him closer to You, mold him into a man of godly character, and give him a vision for leading a family with love and integrity. May he see ### as a woman of virtue, and may their relationship be built on mutual faith and respect. Guard their hearts from impatience, selfishness, or compromise, and let Your peace guide their steps.

Father, we also pray for ###’s boys. May they come to know You as their Heavenly Father and find security in Your love. If ### is to be a stepfather to them, prepare his heart to love them as his own, and give the boys wisdom to receive his care with open hearts.

Lord, we surrender this relationship, this dream of marriage, and this vision for the future into Your hands. You know the desires of our hearts, but we trust in Your perfect plan. Give ### and ### the patience to wait on You, the faith to believe in Your promises, and the courage to walk in obedience to Your Word. May Your name be glorified in every step they take.

In Jesus’ mighty name, we pray. Amen.

We encourage you to continue seeking the Lord daily, saturating your heart in His Word, and surrounding yourself with godly community. Proverbs 3:5-6 says, "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will direct your paths." May you find peace and joy in His presence as you wait on Him.

It’s good to hear you bringing this new relationship to the Lord so honestly. We can sense the hope in your words, and we’re grateful you’ve invited us to join you in prayer.

As we listen, we’re reminded that the deepest, lasting connection isn’t usually a spark that just gets stirred up, it grows quietly as two people let each other see who they truly are. While you wait and pray, the healthiest thing you can give this friendship is room to find its own pace. Let him discover your heart and character without pressure, and give yourself the same freedom to watch how he treats you and your boys over time. Real love reveals itself in consistent kindness, not in a single moment of declaration.

For now, maybe the most courageous prayer isn’t “make him feel this way,” but “help me rest in your love while you shape whatever is best.” Keep your eyes open, trust your instincts, and don’t silence the small hesitations that sometimes try to protect us. You are precious to God right now, exactly as you are, whether this relationship grows or takes a different path.

Lord, thank you for her honest heart and for the desires she’s laid before you. Give her steady peace, not anxiety about outcomes. Guard her mind and her sons’ well-being, and make your will clear in your time. Help her to feel held by you today. In Jesus’ name, amen.

 

[Spurgeon]

Your petition has been presented with earnest words, yet I fear you have set down a plan before the Lord and then asked Him to stamp it with His seal, rather than first seeking to know His will and making that your sole delight. You speak of God’s will and ways, but the thread that runs through your prayer is very much your own will: that he would feel a spark toward you, that he would declare his love aloud, that he would become a kind provider and stepfather, that he would visit soon, that marriage and a petition for a new land would follow. You have left the door of your heart wide open to a specific earthly happiness, and though you say, “if it be Thy will,” the strength of your pleading leans hard upon the “I will” rather than upon the “Not as I will” which our Saviour taught us in the garden.

Remember the warning of the apostle James against a presumptuous spirit that says, “We will go, we will continue, we will buy, we will sell, we will get gain.” True faith does not first sketch the picture and then ask God to colour it; it lays the blank canvas before the Almighty and waits for His hand to move. God’s will is the axle of the universe, and His purposes do not bend to our schedules or our romantic fancies. You may ask, “Lord, touch his heart,” but the Spirit blows where He lists, and a man’s will is not turned by the mere wish of another, but by the sovereign working of God. If this man is ever to be a true partner and a father to your sons, it must be because the Lord has first made him a new creature in Christ and taught him to submit his own will to the divine scepter. Are you equally earnest that his soul be saved, that he walk in holiness, that he love the Lord more than he loves you? Or is the chief desire that he fill a lonely place in your home?

I would not quench the smoking flax of your hope, but I would have you place that hope not in a change of circumstance but in the changeless character of your heavenly Father. He has betrothed His people to Himself in an everlasting covenant, and if you are indeed one of His jewels, He will not suffer you to be destroyed by a misplaced affection. Yet oftentimes He tests us by withholding the very thing we clamour for, to see whether we will still say, “You are my God,” when the fig tree does not blossom. What if this door should never open? What if this man’s heart remains cool, or his visit is long delayed, or the petition for a new country is denied? Will you still trust that God’s will is good, acceptable, and perfect? That is the place of safety, where self-will has been nailed to the cross and the soul can sing, “Not my will, but Thine be done.”

Lay your deepest desires before the Lord, yes, but lay them as a sacrifice, not as a command. Spread out your hopes for a united family, for a kind protector, for a fresh beginning in a distant land; then rise, leave the matter with Him, and go your way with a quiet heart. The true child of God can say with boldness, “Father, I will,” only when that will has been so melted into Christ’s that it asks nothing contrary to the revealed Word. And the revealed will is that you should first seek the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you as He sees fit. If marriage comes, let it be a means of glorifying God and nurturing godly seed; if it tarries, let Christ be your spouse and your boys find their security in the household of faith.

I pray that the Spirit will write this truth upon your heart: that the sweetest romance, the firmest provision, and the happiest hearth cannot give you a thousandth part of the joy found in a soul at rest in God’s will. When you can truthfully say, “I have no will apart from Thine,” you will be a vessel meet for the Master’s use, whether in singleness or in the married estate. And if it should please Him to bring you together with this man, let it be with such a mark of divine favour that both of you will say, “This is the Lord’s doing; it is marvellous in our eyes”, a union not born of mere affection or convenience, but of that heavenly betrothal which makes the earthly covenant a shadow of Christ’s eternal love for His church. Until then, watch and pray, lest the enemy find a foothold through disappointed expectations, and remember that you are a witness for God whether in plenty or in want.

[Chrysostom]

What you ask for is fraught with peril. You have laid your desires before God, but you have dictated to Him the precise shape of His answer: a specific man, a specific feeling in his heart, a specific path to marriage and a new country. This is not committing the matter into His hands; this is seeking to command the Almighty. Have you not heard, "Be not thoughtful then about thine interests, but leave them to God. For if thou art thoughtful about them, thou art thoughtful as a man; but if God provide, He provides as God"? You are thoughtful as a man, grasping at the reins you say you have yielded. To truly leave it to Him is to release your hold on the outcome, not to describe it in detail and call it prayer.

You ask for a "genuine romance and a deep spark" to be stirred in his heart toward you. The heart is deep and deceitful; these fluttering feelings are the very thing a husband should govern, not the foundation upon which to build a life. When you seek a husband, you do not seek a spark. You seek piety, gentleness, the true understanding, the fear of God. That is the ground of a Christian marriage. Seek not a provider for your material needs first, but a protector for your soul and the souls of your sons, a man of gravity and virtue. If you seek a wealthier husband or a path to America as your primary desire, you risk becoming a slave rather than a free partner, and the annoyance of that slavery will far outweigh any material comfort.

You ask for a "wonderful partner" and a "loving stepdad." True, marriage is honorable, and a widow may marry again, but let it be for the sake of holiness and the service of God, not for the satisfaction of loneliness or worldly ambition. The one who marries for mere delight will find the pleasure fleeting, but the one who marries for the sober partnership of a Christian household, to raise children in orderliness and gravity, reaps a lasting pleasure. The marriage bed is pure, yet it does not of itself grant holiness; rather, it must be guarded by holiness, turning the partners toward God and not toward the indulgence of lust. Even having a husband, you must be as though you had none, using the world as not abusing it.

This man is far away. You are building a future in your mind before you have even shared a life. Let me ask you plainly: have you made as much provision for the husbandry of souls as for the future of your household? Are you laboring to build up the church within your own estate of being, seeing to your own repentance, your own almsgiving, your own constancy in prayer? You wish to be united with your sons as a family in another land, but what of your union with the body of Christ where you are now? Before you petition God to arrange a marriage, seek first to be the kind of bride whose dowry to the Church is a life of virtue. True readiness for a godly husband is not found in a prepared visa petition, but in a soul cleansed by the confession of sin, constant in prayer, and rich in mercy to the poor.

I urge you to unclench your hands from this vision you have crafted. Present your needs, yes, but present yourself first. Say to God, "Whomsoever Thou wilt do Thou provide." Let Him shape the man, or choose another. Let Him determine the timing, or call you to a different service entirely. Fasting, almsgiving, and the persevering prayers of the church will quench the fire of a restless, demanding heart far more surely than the fulfillment of all your plans. To be a true Christian, even within a household, is to have a soul not wedded to its own designs. Leave the matter to Him, and you will find His provision is as God provides, and not as man.
