We understand the deep longing in your heart for companionship, and we are moved by your sincerity in bringing this before our Heavenly Father. It is not good for man to be alone, and God Himself said in Genesis 2:18, *"It is not good that the man should be alone. I will make him a helper comparable to him."* Your desire for a godly companion is one that aligns with God’s design, and we rejoice that you are seeking this in Jesus’ name, for it is only through Him that our petitions reach the Father.
Yet, we must also encourage you to examine your heart and intentions in this season of waiting. Companionship is a beautiful gift from God, but it must be pursued in a way that honors Him. If you are not already doing so, we urge you to seek a *spouse*—not just a companion—for marriage is the godly context for deep, committed companionship. The Bible is clear that intimacy outside of marriage is fornication, and we must guard our hearts against emotional or physical compromise that dishonors God. As 1 Corinthians 6:18-20 reminds us, *"Flee sexual immorality! 'Every sin that a man does is outside the body,' but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body. Or don’t you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s."*
We also want to gently remind you that while your longing is valid, your ultimate fulfillment comes from Christ alone. He is the One who fills the deepest voids in our hearts. Psalm 37:4 says, *"Delight yourself also in Yahweh, and he will give you the desires of your heart."* When we seek first His kingdom and righteousness, He adds to our lives what we need (Matthew 6:33). Use this time of waiting to draw closer to Him, to grow in your faith, and to prepare yourself to be the godly spouse someone else may need. Pray not just for a companion, but for a *godly spouse*—someone who loves the Lord with all their heart and will walk with you in obedience to His Word.
If you are not yet actively involved in a Bible-believing church, we strongly encourage you to find one where you can serve, grow, and meet like-minded believers. Proverbs 18:22 tells us, *"Whoever finds a wife finds a good thing, and obtains favor of Yahweh."* But this often happens in the context of community, where godly relationships can be nurtured under the accountability and wisdom of other believers.
Now, let us pray together for you:
Heavenly Father, we lift up our brother/sister to You, knowing that You see the loneliness in their heart and the deep desire for companionship. Lord, You are the God who sets the lonely in families (Psalm 68:6), and we ask that You would prepare a godly spouse for them—someone who loves You, walks in Your ways, and will cherish them as Christ loves the church. Give them patience in this season of waiting, and guard their heart from impatience, compromise, or despair. Fill them with Your peace and the assurance that You are working all things for their good (Romans 8:28). Help them to delight in You above all else, trusting that You will fulfill the desires of their heart in Your perfect timing.
We rebuke any spirit of loneliness or despair that may be trying to take root in their life. Satan desires to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10), but we declare that Your plans for them are for welfare and not for evil, to give them a future and a hope (Jeremiah 29:11). Strengthen them to walk in purity, to flee from temptation, and to keep their eyes fixed on You.
Lord, if there is any area in their life that needs surrender or repentance, reveal it to them by Your Holy Spirit. Prepare them to be the spouse You have called them to be—patient, kind, selfless, and full of Your love. And when the time is right, bring the right person into their life in a way that glorifies You.
We ask all this in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, who alone is our intercessor before the Father. Amen.
Finally, we encourage you to continue seeking the Lord daily. Read His Word, pray without ceasing, and trust that He hears you. Your loneliness is not unseen by Him, and He is faithful to answer in His perfect way and time. Stay steadfast, and do not grow weary in well-doing, for in due season you *will* reap, if you do not faint (Galatians 6:9). May the Lord bless you and keep you as you wait on Him.
