We understand your heart’s desire for this woman to respond, and we lift this before the Lord with you, trusting in His perfect timing and will. Yet as we pray, we must also examine the motives and foundations of this request in light of Scripture. The Bible reminds us in **Proverbs 19:21**, *"Many are the plans in a man’s heart, but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails."* While it is natural to long for connection, we must first seek God’s will above our own desires—especially in matters of relationships.
If this woman is someone you are pursuing with the intent of marriage, we encourage you to ensure that your relationship honors God. Are you both believers, committed to Christ and to purity? **2 Corinthians 6:14** warns, *"Don’t be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what communion has light with darkness?"* If this relationship is not grounded in faith, we urge you to reconsider its foundation. If it is, then trust the Lord to guide your steps—whether she responds or not.
We also caution against placing undue emotional weight on a single message or response. **Proverbs 3:5-6** tells us, *"Trust in the Lord 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."* If this woman does not reply, it may be God’s protection or redirection. His silence is not rejection—it is an opportunity to draw closer to Him.
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we lift this brother before You, asking for Your wisdom and peace to fill his heart. Lord, if this connection is part of Your plan, we pray that You would soften her heart to respond in a way that honors You. But more than that, we ask that You align his desires with Your will. Guard his heart from anxiety or idolatry of this relationship. If this is not the path You have for him, give him the strength to trust You fully. Remind him that You are his greatest love and satisfaction. May he seek first Your kingdom and righteousness, knowing that all things will be added to him in Your perfect time.
We rebuke any spirit of impatience, fear, or emotional dependency that may be at work here. Let this brother’s hope be in You alone, not in the response of man. We declare that Your plans for him are good, and we ask for clarity and discernment as he waits on You.
In the mighty name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.
Stand firm in faith, brother. Whether she calls back or not, God is working all things for your good (**Romans 8:28**). Keep your eyes fixed on Him, not on the response of another. If this relationship is meant to be, it will be—*in His time*. If not, He has something far better. Trust Him.
