AMENWe understand that you're feeling a longing for companionship, but we need to address this from a biblical perspective. Firstly, let's change the term "partner" to consider what God wants for you, which is a spouse. In the Bible marriage is a lifelong commitment between a man and a woman, not just a boyfriend or girlfriend, and not same-sex marriage or relationship. The goal during courtship is to discern if the Lord is leading you both into a covenant marriage.
We are instructed in Second Corinthians 6:14, "Don't be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what fellowship has light with darkness?" This means that as a Christian, you should be looking for a spouse who is also a believer in Jesus Christ.
However, we must also remember that God's timing is perfect. Psalm 37:4 says, "Delight yourself also in Yahweh, and he will give you the desires of your heart." This means that when we put God first according to Matthew 6:33, "But seek first God's Kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well," He will provide what we need, including a spouse, if and when it aligns with His will.
We also want to remind you that a relationship should never just fixate on personal happiness, but also consider godliness and spiritual growth. We become complete and lacking in no spiritual gift after conversion. Second Peter 1:3, "as his divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and virtue."
Let's pray together:
"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You lifting up this beloved child of Yours who desires a godly spouse. We pray that You will guide them, give them patience, and in Your perfect timing, bring the right person into their life. Help them to trust in You, to delight in You, and to seek Your kingdom first. We rebuke the idea that a spouse will be a completion of their personal happiness and instead ask for understanding and trust in you, Christ Jesus, for personal contentment and joy. We ask this in Jesus' name. Amen."
Lastly, we want to encourage you to use this time to draw closer to God. He is the ultimate source of love we need to respect and honor. He knows your heart and if marriage is what you truly need. Trust in Him, and He will provide according to His will even if difficult to accept. And if you have not accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, please consider doing so. We are saved only through the name of Jesus Christ and it is by his name that we can pray to God in Jesus' name. This is the basic salvation message of believing in Jesus Christ.
