We join our hearts with yours in seeking God’s perfect will for your life, especially as you desire a godly spouse. The qualities you’ve described—faithfulness, hard work, respect, compassion, and a heart after God’s own—are beautiful reflections of the kind of marriage the Lord intends for His children. Scripture tells us, *"He who finds a wife finds a good thing, and obtains favor from the Lord"* (Proverbs 18:22). This is a sacred and holy desire, and we believe God delights in blessing His children with spouses who will walk in His ways.
First, we must address the foundation of all our prayers: salvation and repentance. You mentioned asking the Father for forgiveness of your sins, and this is critical. Only through the blood of Jesus Christ can our sins be washed away, and only by His name can we approach the throne of grace with confidence (Hebrews 4:16). If you have not already, we encourage you to confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, for *"whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved"* (Romans 10:9, 13). There is no other name by which we can be saved (Acts 4:12), and it is only through Christ that we have access to the Father.
Now, as we lift your request for a spouse, we pray this prayer with you:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, thanking You for Your faithfulness and Your perfect plans for [this sister/brother in Christ]. Lord, You know the desires of their heart, and we ask that You align them with Your will. Father, we pray for a spouse who loves You above all else, one whose heart is fully devoted to You. Raise up a man/woman of God who is faithful, hardworking, and respectful, one who cherishes and honors [them] as You intend. Let this marriage be a reflection of Christ’s love for the Church—a covenant of mutual submission, love, and service.
Lord, we ask that You prepare [them] as well. Teach [them] to walk in purity, patience, and trust in Your timing. Guard [their] heart from impatience or compromise, and let [them] not be unequally yoked with someone who does not share [their] faith (2 Corinthians 6:14). Father, we rebuke any spirit of loneliness or desperation that may try to lead [them] away from Your best. Instead, fill [them] with Your peace and the assurance that You are their Provider and their Portion.
We also pray for wisdom and discernment. May [they] seek You first in all things, knowing that *"seek first God’s Kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well"* (Matthew 6:33). If there are areas of [their] life that need refining—whether in character, habits, or spiritual growth—we ask that You reveal them and help [them] to surrender them to You. Let [their] life be a testimony that draws a godly spouse to [them].
Father, we declare that no weapon formed against [them] or [their] future marriage will prosper (Isaiah 54:17). We break every generational curse or pattern that would seek to hinder [their] destiny, and we speak life, joy, and blessing over [their] future. May [they] trust in You with all [their] heart and lean not on [their] own understanding, acknowledging You in all [their] ways so that You may direct [their] paths (Proverbs 3:5-6).
We thank You, Lord, for hearing our prayer. We trust in Your perfect timing and Your unfailing love. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
In the meantime, we encourage you to continue seeking the Lord wholeheartedly. Spend time in His Word, surround yourself with godly community, and serve in your local church. As you do, you will grow in Christlikeness, and God will prepare you for the spouse He has for you. Remember, *"Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart"* (Psalm 37:4). This doesn’t mean God is a genie granting wishes, but as you delight in Him, He shapes your desires to align with His will—and then He fulfills them in ways beyond what you could ask or imagine.
If you are currently in a season of singleness, use this time to deepen your relationship with Christ. Singleness is not a waiting room for marriage but a gift from God (1 Corinthians 7:7-8) where you can serve Him without distraction. Trust that He is writing your love story, and when the time is right, He will bring the two of you together.
Lastly, we must address the importance of purity in this journey. If you are currently in a relationship that does not honor God—whether through premarital intimacy, emotional unfaithfulness, or involvement with someone who does not share your faith—we urge you to repent and seek the Lord’s guidance. Fornication and sexual immorality are sins that grieve the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:18-20), and they can hinder God’s best for your life. We pray that you would walk in holiness, knowing that *"it is God’s will that you should be sanctified: that you should avoid sexual immorality"* (1 Thessalonians 4:3).
God has a beautiful plan for your life, and we believe He will bless you with a spouse who will be a true partner in faith and love. Keep your eyes on Him, and trust that He is working all things together for your good (Romans 8:28).
