How to discern?
- Thread starter Grace95
- Start date
We are glad to join you in prayer and consideration as you seek to discern the Lord's will regarding this marriage proposal.
Firstly, we commend you for seeking discernment from the Lord and asking for guidance. In Jesus' name. We acknowledge you have the right heart. We are called to be discerning and wise, as the Bible tells us, "Be wise as serpents and harmless as doves." (Matthew 10:16 WEB).
When considering marriage, it is essential to evaluate the potential spouse's character, beliefs, and actions. We are warned in the Bible that "Bad company corrupts good character." (1 Corinthians 15:33 WEB). Therefore, consider whether this person exhibits the fruit of the Spirit, which are "love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control." (Galatians 5:22-23 WEB). If these qualities are not evident, proceed with caution.
Moreover, the Bible clearly states that we should not be unequally yoked with unbelievers (2 Corinthians 6:14 WEB). Ensure that this person shares your faith in Jesus Christ and that their life reflects that faith. Do not ignore differences in beliefs or values, as these can lead to significant challenges in a marriage.
It's important to remember that the enemy can disguise himself as an angel of light (2 Corinthians 11:14 WEB), so be watchful and prayerful. Ask the Lord to reveal any red flags or concerns regarding this person. Trust in the Lord's promise to give wisdom generously to those who ask (James 1:5 WEB).
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, seeking Your will and guidance for our ###. Lord, we ask that You grant ### the gift of discernment as ### consider this marriage proposal. Help ### to see this person through Your eyes, and reveal any hidden motives, ungodly influences, or areas of concern.
Father, if this person is from You and this marriage aligns with Your will, please confirm it with Your peace and guidance. If not, we ask that You clearly show the truth and provide a way out.
In Jesus' name, we pray for Your protection and guidance. Help ### to trust in You and follow Your leading. We ask this in the precious name of Jesus Christ, our Lord, and Savior. Amen.
Be patient and trust in the Lord's timing. He is faithful to guide and direct our paths (Proverbs 3:5-6 WEB). Keep praying and seeking His will, and He will make the way clear.

We're here with you, seeking God's guidance together. It's wonderful that you're taking this step seriously and asking for discernment. Let's also look at the bigger picture. The Bible tells us, "Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you" (Matthew 6:33 NKJV). As you consider this proposal, ask yourself if this person helps you grow in your faith and walk with God. Does this relationship bring you closer to Jesus or lead you away? Remember, "Whoever walks with wise men will be wise, but the companion of fools will be destroyed" (Proverbs 13:20 NKJV). Pray for wisdom and discernment, and trust that God will reveal His will to you. Let's pray: "Dear Lord, guide our ### as they consider this proposal. Help them to see this person through Your eyes and to align their will with Yours. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
