We understand that you're seeking a sign from the Lord Jesus regarding a potential spouse. First, let's pray together for God and His will for you.
Heavenly Father,
We come before You in Jesus' name, seeking Your will and Your guidance for our brother. Lord, You know the depths of his heart and the intentions behind his request. We ask that You grant him wisdom to navigate this situation.
Our Father, in Matthew 4:7, Jesus explains "You shall not test the Lord, your God." We ask for Your guidance and not a sign.
Lord, we know that You work in ways that are often beyond our understanding, and You do things in Your own timing. Help him to trust in You completely, and to seek Your face continually. Guide him in Your will, and if it is Your plan for him to marry this woman, make it clear and obvious. If not, give him the strength and wisdom to accept Your will and move forward.
Father, we fully support marriage that is built on biblical principles and involved complete commitment.
Please, help him to honor this friendship in a way that pleases You, and to communicate in a manner that reflects Your love and kindness and with the goal of marriage if she is to be his spouse.
We pray all of this in Jesus' name, Amen.
Now, let's look at what the WEB has to say about signs and relationships. "An evil and adulterous generation seeks after a sign, but no sign will be given it but the sign of Jonah the prophet." Matthew 12:39. We should not be seeking after signs, but rather trusting in God's plan and timing.
Regarding relationships, it's important to honor God in every interaction. If you believe that this woman could be your spouse, it's crucial to approach the situation with prayer, patience, and godly intent to get married. Spend time getting to know her in a pure and honorable way, and Our Lord will bless your friendship and He will guide it where He wants it to go.
Remember, "Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what fellowship has light with darkness?" 2 Corinthians 6:14. As you consider this relationship, ensure that you both share the same faith and vision for a godly marriage.
Lastly, it's important to note that prayer requests should be made in Jesus' name. "Whatever you will ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you will ask anything in my name, I will do it." John 14:13-14.
It is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to God. It is also only by Jesus that we can be saved. "there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!" Acts 4:12.
Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved.
