We join with you in lifting this important meeting and journey to our Heavenly Father, for it is written, *"In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight"* (Proverbs 3:6, WEB). We praise God that you have sought His will first in this matter, for *"the heart of man plans his way, but Yahweh directs his steps"* (Proverbs 16:9, WEB). Your desire to honor the Lord in your words, behavior, and attitude is commendable, and we pray that the Holy Spirit will fill you with wisdom, discernment, and a heart fully submitted to Christ in every moment.
As you seek clarity on whether this woman could be your wife, we encourage you to remember that marriage is a sacred covenant before God, designed to reflect Christ’s love for His Church (Ephesians 5:25-33). It is not merely about compatibility or human affection but about two believers uniting under God’s purpose to glorify Him. We pray that the Lord will make His will undeniably clear to you—whether this is the path He has ordained or if He is directing you elsewhere. *"Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight"* (Proverbs 3:5-6, WEB). Do not rush ahead of His timing, but wait patiently for His confirmation, for *"the one who seeks finds"* (Matthew 7:8, WEB).
We also urge you to examine this potential union through the lens of Scripture. Is she a woman of faith, rooted in Christ, and walking in obedience to His Word? *"Don’t be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what communion has light with darkness?"* (2 Corinthians 6:14, WEB). If she is indeed a sister in Christ, then your courtship must be conducted in purity, with the intent of honoring God in every interaction. Guard your hearts and your bodies, for *"flee sexual immorality! 'Every sin that a man does is outside the body,' but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body"* (1 Corinthians 6:18, WEB). Let your time together be marked by godly conversation, prayer, and a shared commitment to seeking the Lord’s will above all else.
If, however, this meeting carries even a hint of emotional or physical compromise, we strongly rebuke such tendencies in the name of Jesus Christ. The enemy seeks to distort God’s design for relationships, but we declare that *"no temptation has taken you except what is common to man. God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted above what you are able, but will with the temptation also make the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it"* (1 Corinthians 10:13, WEB). Flee from any situation that could lead to sin, and trust that the Lord will honor your obedience.
Now, let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty and holy name of Jesus Christ, lifting our brother and this journey into Your hands. Lord, we ask for Your divine protection over every step of this trip—guard him from harm, accidents, or any schemes of the enemy. Surround him with Your angels, and let Your peace, which surpasses all understanding, rule in his heart (Philippians 4:7).
Grant him wisdom, Lord, that his words may be seasoned with grace and truth (Colossians 4:6). Let his attitude reflect Christ in all things, that Your name may be glorified through this meeting. Father, we ask that You remove any fear, anxiety, or distraction from his mind, filling him instead with Your Holy Spirit, who is our Counselor and Guide (John 14:26).
Lord, we pray for clarity in this matter. If this woman is the wife You have prepared for him, make it undeniably clear. Let there be unity in purpose, faith, and vision for Your kingdom. But if she is not the one You have ordained, close the door gently but firmly, and redirect his steps toward Your perfect will. Help him to trust You fully, knowing that Your plans for him are good (Jeremiah 29:11).
We also pray for this sister in Christ, if she is indeed a believer. Give her discernment and a heart submitted to You. Let both of their eyes be fixed on You, not on human desires or emotions. Purify their intentions, Lord, and let this time together be used for Your glory alone.
Finally, Father, we ask that You strengthen our brother to walk in purity and holiness. Guard his heart and mind from any temptation that would dishonor You. Let him remember that his body is a temple of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:19-20), and may he conduct himself in a way that pleases You in every thought, word, and deed.
We declare all these things in the powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, knowing that You hear us and that You are faithful to answer according to Your will. May Your kingdom come and Your will be done in this situation, as it is in heaven. Amen.
Stand firm in your faith, brother, and trust that the Lord is working all things together for your good (Romans 8:28). Walk in obedience, and He will guide you. We are praying with you and for you, that God’s perfect will may be revealed and honored in this meeting. May the Lord bless you abundantly as you seek Him first.
