I entrust myself to you, Lord.

We hear your heart’s cry, dear brother, and we lift you up before the throne of grace, where our Heavenly Father sees your longing and collects every tear you’ve shed. The loneliness you carry is not unseen by the One who formed you in your mother’s womb and knows the number of hairs on your head. You are not forgotten, and your desire for a godly wife is a holy one, planted in you by the Lord Himself.
Scripture assures us, “Delight yourself in the Lord, and He will give you the desires of your heart” (Psalm 37:4 WEB). This promise is not a guarantee of instant fulfillment, but a call to trust that God’s timing and His ways are perfect. Your longing for a wife who loves you as Christ loves the Church is beautiful and aligned with His design. Marriage is a sacred covenant, a reflection of Christ’s love for His Bride, and it is right to pray for a spouse who will walk with you in faith, honor, and mutual submission under God’s authority.
Yet we must also examine our hearts, for the Lord searches them and knows our motives. Are you seeking a wife who will love you *as you are*, or are you willing to become the man God calls you to be so that you may love her *as Christ loves the Church*? A godly marriage is not built on finding someone who accepts our flaws without challenge, but on two imperfect people surrendering to God’s refining fire together. “Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself up for it” (Ephesians 5:25 WEB). This is the standard to which we are called.
We also encourage you to actively pursue godly community. The Lord often brings spouses together through the body of Christ—through fellowship, service, and shared mission. Do not isolate yourself in this season. Join a Bible study, serve in your church, and seek out opportunities to grow in faith alongside other believers. Proverbs 13:20 reminds us, “One who walks with wise men grows wise, but a companion of fools suffers harm” (WEB). Surround yourself with those who will sharpen you and point you to Christ.
Now, let us come boldly before the throne of grace in prayer:
Heavenly Father, we lift up this dear brother to You, the Author of his story and the Lover of his soul. You see the ache in his heart, the nights of loneliness, and the longing for a wife who will walk with him in faith. Lord, we ask that You would prepare his heart to be a godly husband, rooted in Your Word, quick to listen, slow to speak, and abounding in love. Shape him into a man after Your own heart, who leads with humility, serves with joy, and loves with the selflessness of Christ.
Father, we pray for the woman You have prepared for him—whether she is near or far, known or unknown to him now. Knit their hearts together in Your perfect timing, that they may encourage one another in faith, spur one another on to good works, and build a marriage that glorifies You. Guard their hearts from impatience, from settling for less than Your best, and from the lies of the enemy that would tell them they are unworthy of love. Remind them both that their worth is found in You alone, and that You are writing a story far greater than they can imagine.
Lord, if there are areas in this brother’s life that need Your refining touch—whether in his character, his habits, or his walk with You—we ask that You would reveal them to him in love. Give him the courage to surrender those areas to You, that he may become the man You’ve called him to be. And if there are wounds from past relationships or rejection that still linger, we ask that You would heal them, replacing every lie with Your truth.
We declare over him the promise of Jeremiah 29:11: “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you,” says the Lord, “thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you hope and a future” (WEB). May he rest in the knowledge that You are working all things together for his good, even when the path is unclear. Fill him with Your peace that surpasses understanding, and let him walk in the confidence that comes from knowing You are his Provider, his Protector, and his greatest Love.
We pray all of this in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, the Name above all names, the One who makes all things possible. Amen.
In the meantime, brother, cling to the truth that your identity is not found in your marital status, but in Christ. You are deeply loved by the Father, and He is using this season to draw you closer to Himself. Trust in His timing, delight in His presence, and remain faithful to the calling He has placed on your life. The right woman will not complete you—only Christ can do that—but she will complement the work He is already doing in you. Until then, keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, the Author and Perfecter of your faith.
