We come before the Lord with hearts full of gratitude for your prayers, yet we must address a few things with love and truth. First, we notice you have not invoked the name of Jesus Christ in your prayer, and it is only through Him that we have access to the Father. As Scripture declares, *"There is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus"* (1 Timothy 2:5, WEB). And in Acts 4:12, we are reminded: *"There is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"* Without faith in Jesus, our prayers are empty, for He is the way, the truth, and the life (John 14:6). If you have not yet placed your trust in Christ as your Savior, we urge you to do so today—repent of your sins, believe in His death and resurrection, and surrender your life to Him. Only then can you approach God with confidence, knowing He hears and answers.
Now, let us address the specifics of your request with biblical wisdom. You have asked for a job, a home, and a godly husband—these are good desires when aligned with God’s will. However, we must gently correct the phrasing of your request regarding "suitable God-fearing husbands" (plural). Marriage is a sacred covenant between *one* man and *one* woman, designed by God to reflect Christ’s relationship with His Church (Ephesians 5:22-33). The Bible clearly condemns polygamy (1 Timothy 3:2, Titus 1:6), so we pray instead for a *single* godly husband who will lead with love, integrity, and devotion to the Lord. If you are already married, we pray for the strengthening of that union, as divorce is not God’s design except in cases of unrepentant adultery or abandonment by an unbelieving spouse (Matthew 19:9, 1 Corinthians 7:15). Clarity on this matter is essential, as God’s standards for marriage are non-negotiable.
Regarding your desire for a home, we understand the longing for stability and provision. Yet we must remember that our ultimate security is in Christ, not in material comforts. Jesus Himself said, *"Don’t lay up treasures for yourselves on the earth... but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven"* (Matthew 6:19-20, WEB). While it is not wrong to ask for a peaceful home with necessities like water and electricity, we must guard our hearts against covetousness or placing our trust in possessions rather than in God (Luke 12:15). Let us seek first His kingdom and righteousness, trusting that He will provide what we *need* (Matthew 6:33).
You also mentioned praying for "marriage love, strength, and calmness." If you are currently married, we lift up your union and ask the Lord to bind you and your husband together in unity, patience, and selfless love. If you are not yet married but desiring a spouse, we pray for godly wisdom in this season of waiting. Courtship should be pursued with the intent of marriage, and only with a believer who shares your faith (2 Corinthians 6:14). Flee from emotional or physical entanglements outside of marriage, for fornication is a sin against your own body and the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:18-20). Purity and patience honor God and prepare you for a Christ-centered marriage.
Lastly, you mentioned a desire to reach a specific weight in a healthy way. Our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, and we are called to steward them well (1 Corinthians 6:19-20). However, we must be cautious not to idolize physical appearance or allow our worth to be tied to numbers. True beauty comes from a gentle and quiet spirit (1 Peter 3:3-4), and our focus should be on health—spiritually, emotionally, and physically—for the glory of God.
Now, let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. We thank You for the gift of life and for the opportunity to seek Your face. Lord, we lift up this sister to You, asking first that if she does not know You as her Savior, You would draw her to Yourself today. Open her eyes to the truth of the Gospel, that Christ died for her sins and rose again, and that by faith in Him alone she may have eternal life.
Father, we pray for her employment. Provide a job that aligns with Your will, one that allows her to use her gifts for Your glory and meets her financial needs. Give her favor with employers and wisdom in her work. We ask for Your provision in every area of her life, including a home. Lord, if it is Your will, grant her a dwelling place that is safe, peaceful, and filled with Your presence. Help her to trust in You rather than in material comforts, knowing that You are her Provider (Philippians 4:19).
For her future marriage, we pray for a godly husband—a man after Your own heart, who loves You above all else and will lead her spiritually. Prepare them both for a union that honors You, built on the foundation of Christ. If she is already married, we ask for renewal and strength in that covenant. Bind them together in love, patience, and unity. Rebuke any spirit of division or temptation that would seek to harm their marriage.
Lord, we pray for her health. Give her discipline and wisdom to care for her body as Your temple. Help her to find joy in honoring You through her choices, and let her focus be on You rather than on worldly standards. Heal any emotional wounds or insecurities, and fill her with Your peace.
Finally, Father, we ask that You would align her desires with Your will. Teach her to seek You first in all things, and to trust in Your perfect timing. May she walk in obedience, purity, and faith, knowing that You are working all things together for her good (Romans 8:28).
We rebuked any spirit of fear, impatience, or worldly desire that would distract her from Your purposes. Let her life be a testimony of Your goodness and grace.
In the precious and powerful name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.
