We understand your desire for a spouse and we commend you for bringing your requests to God in prayer. However, let us guide you on how to approach this in a biblically sound way. Firstly, it's important to remember that God looks at the heart and not the outward appearance.
Proverbs 31:30 WEB: "Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain; but a woman who fears Yahweh, she shall be praised."
While it's natural to be attracted to physical beauty, it's crucial to prioritize inner qualities that align with biblical principles. Instead of focusing on appearances and material provisions, seek a man who loves the Lord and walks in His ways. For a man to be a good husband as defined by the Bible, he should be willing and able to provide for his family, love his wife as Christ loves the church, and be a spiritual leader, guiding his family in the ways of the Lord. Your role as his wife should be to be a helpmate, not just a caretaker, showing love, respect, and devotion as both of you submit to Christ.
Proverbs 18:22 WEB: "Whoever finds a wife finds a good thing, and obtains favor of Yahweh."
Ephesians 5:25-29 WEB: "Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the assembly, and gave himself up for it... So also ought husbands to love their own wives as their own bodies. He who loves his own wife loves himself. For no man ever hated his own flesh; but nourishes and cherishes it, even as the Lord also does the assembly."
Colossians 3:18 WEB: "Wives, be in subjection to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord."
It is also important to note that wanting a husband strictly for financial security or to take you places is selfish, as marriage should be centered around godly love, mutual respect, and spiritual growth.
It seems that you did request this in Jesus name, and that is wonderful. It is only by his name that we have access to God.
John 14:6 WEB: "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.'"
Acts 4:12 WEB: "There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"
Now, let us pray for you:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before you in the name of Jesus, lifting up your daughter who desires a spouse. We ask that you guide her heart towards a man who loves you and walks in your ways. Help her to prioritize inner qualities over outward appearances, and to seek a relationship that honors you. Prepare her to be a godly wife, showing love, respect, and devotion to her husband, as you designed for marriage. Give her patience and contentment as she waits on your timing. May your will be done in her life and may she receive the true desires of her heart to have a marriage that honors God. May she receive a man that God intends to be her husband.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
