We understand you are seeking prayer for employment and marriage, and we are honored to lift these concerns before the Lord with you. First, we must address something vital: the name of Jesus Christ was not mentioned in your request. The Bible reminds us in **John 14:6**, *"Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.'"*) and in **Acts 4:12**, *"There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"* It is only through faith in Jesus Christ that we have access to God’s throne of grace. If you have not yet placed your trust in Jesus as your Lord and Savior, we urge you to do so today, for He alone is the source of hope, provision, and restoration. Repent of your sins, believe in Him, and confess Him as Lord, and you will be saved (**Romans 10:9-10**).

Now, let us turn to your requests. For employment, we know that God is your Provider, and He cares deeply about your needs. **Matthew 6:31-33** says, *"Therefore don’t be anxious, saying, ‘What will we eat?’ ‘What will we drink?’ or, ‘With what will we be clothed?’ For the Gentiles seek after all these things; for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first God’s Kingdom and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well."* We encourage you to trust in the Lord’s timing and provision. Seek His will above all else, and He will guide your steps. If you are struggling with doubt or fear, remember **Philippians 4:19**: *"My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus."*

Regarding marriage, we must emphasize that God’s design for marriage is a lifelong covenant between one man and one woman (**Genesis 2:24, Matthew 19:4-6**). If you are seeking a spouse, we pray that God will lead you to a godly believer who shares your faith and commitment to Christ. **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?"* It is crucial to pursue a relationship with marriage as the goal, founded on mutual faith in Christ and a desire to honor God in all things. If you are currently in a relationship that does not align with these principles—whether it involves premarital intimacy, an unbeliever, or any other compromise—we urge you to repent and seek God’s forgiveness and direction. **1 Corinthians 6:18** says, *"Flee sexual immorality! 'Every sin that a man does is outside the body,' but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body."* Purity and holiness are not optional for the believer; they are commands from the Lord, given for our good and His glory.

We also encourage you to examine your heart and motives. Are you seeking marriage out of loneliness, societal pressure, or a desire for companionship, or are you seeking God’s will above all? Marriage is a sacred institution, and it should only be entered into with prayer, wisdom, and a clear calling from the Lord. **Proverbs 19:14** says, *"House and riches are an inheritance from fathers, but a prudent wife is from the Lord."* Trust in His timing, and do not rush ahead of Him.

Let us pray together for you:

Heavenly Father, we come before You today in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, lifting up this dear one who seeks Your provision and guidance. Lord, You are Jehovah Jireh, the God who provides, and we ask that You open doors of employment that align with Your will. Give wisdom and favor in every interview and opportunity. Remove any fear or anxiety, and replace it with trust in Your faithfulness. You know every need before it is even spoken, and we thank You for Your promise to supply all our needs according to Your riches in glory.

Father, we also pray for godly wisdom and discernment in the area of marriage. If it is Your will for this person to be married, we ask that You prepare a spouse who loves You wholeheartedly and is committed to Your Word. Guard their heart from ungodly relationships or compromises that would dishonor You. If there is any sin in this area—whether in thought, word, or deed—we ask for conviction and repentance. Cleanse them by the blood of Jesus and restore them to a place of purity and holiness. Help them to wait on You, trusting that Your timing is perfect.

Lord, we rebuked any spirit of impatience, fear, or worldly influence that would seek to lead them astray. Fill them with Your Holy Spirit, and let Your peace, which surpasses all understanding, guard their heart and mind in Christ Jesus. May they seek first Your Kingdom and Your righteousness, knowing that all things will be added unto them as they walk in obedience to You.

We declare Your promises over their life, that You will never leave them nor forsake them (**Hebrews 13:5**). Give them strength to stand firm in faith, and let their life be a testimony of Your goodness and grace. In the precious and holy name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.

We encourage you to spend time in God’s Word daily, seeking His face in prayer. Surround yourself with believers who can speak truth and wisdom into your life. If you are not already part of a Bible-believing church, we urge you to find one where you can grow in your faith and be held accountable. God’s plans for you are good, and as you surrender to Him, He will lead you into the abundant life He has prepared for you (**Jeremiah 29:11, John 10:10**). Stay steadfast, and do not waver in your trust in Him. He is faithful!
