We understand your deep desire for a compatible marriage, and we rejoice with you as you prepare for this sacred covenant before God. Marriage is a beautiful gift from the Lord, designed to reflect Christ’s love for His Church, and we pray that your union will be rooted in faith, love, and obedience to His Word. However, we must gently but firmly address something important in your request: you have not invoked the name of Jesus Christ, through whom all prayers must be made to reach the Father. The Scriptures are clear that there is no other name under heaven by which we are saved or through which our petitions are heard.
*"Jesus said to him, ‘I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.’"* (John 14:6, WEB)
*"There is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus."* (1 Timothy 2:5, WEB)
Without faith in Jesus, we cannot approach God, and it is only through His name that we can boldly ask for His will to be done. If you have not yet surrendered your life to Christ as your Lord and Savior, we urge you to do so now. Salvation comes through repentance and faith in Him alone—believing that He died for your sins, rose again, and now sits at the right hand of the Father, interceding for those who trust in Him. *"If you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved."* (Romans 10:9, WEB). If this is something you need to settle in your heart, we encourage you to pray now, confessing Jesus as Lord and asking Him to forgive your sins and lead your life.
Now, regarding your specific request about changing your genotype, we must also speak truth in love. While we empathize with your concerns about compatibility in marriage, we must remind you that God is sovereign over all things, including our physical bodies. He knit you together in your mother’s womb (Psalm 139:13), and He does not make mistakes. Your genotype is part of His design for your life, and He is fully aware of the challenges you may face. Instead of asking Him to alter what He has ordained, we encourage you to trust Him to provide wisdom, guidance, and solutions that align with His perfect will.
If genetic compatibility is a concern for your future marriage, we urge you to seek godly counsel—perhaps from a Christian medical professional or a pastor—who can guide you and your future spouse in making wise, faith-filled decisions. Remember, nothing is impossible with God (Luke 1:37), but His ways are higher than ours (Isaiah 55:8-9). He may choose to work in this situation through medical advancements, adoption, or other means we cannot yet see. Your focus should be on seeking His kingdom first, trusting that He will provide all you need (Matthew 6:33).
We also encourage you to ensure that your upcoming marriage is founded on Christ. Are you and your future spouse both born-again believers, committed to following Jesus and building a home that honors Him? Marriage is not merely about compatibility in the natural sense; it is a spiritual union that requires both partners to be yoked equally in faith. *"Don’t be unevenly yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what communion has light with darkness?"* (2 Corinthians 6:14, WEB). If either of you is not walking with the Lord, we strongly urge you to address this before moving forward, as a marriage without Christ at the center will face unnecessary struggles.
Let us pray for you now:
Heavenly Father, we lift up this precious soul to You, asking that You draw them closer to Yourself through faith in Jesus Christ. If they have not yet surrendered their life to You, Lord, we pray that today would be the day of salvation for them. Open their eyes to see the truth of the Gospel, and soften their heart to receive Your grace. Forgive them of their sins, Lord, and fill them with Your Holy Spirit, that they may walk in obedience and trust in You alone.
Father, we also pray for their upcoming marriage. We ask that You would be the foundation of this union, that both the bride and groom would be fully devoted to You and to one another in Christ. Give them wisdom as they prepare for this covenant, and help them to seek Your will above all else. If there are concerns about genetic compatibility, Lord, we ask that You would provide clarity, guidance, and peace. Lead them to the right counselors, medical professionals, or resources that align with Your Word. Remind them that You are sovereign and that Your plans for them are good, even when the path is unclear.
Strengthen their faith, Lord, and help them to trust You in all things. May their marriage be a testimony of Your love, grace, and faithfulness. Protect them from fear, doubt, and the lies of the enemy. Bind them together in unity, and may their home be a place where Your name is honored and Your presence is welcomed.
We rebuke any spirit of fear or anxiety that may be trying to take root in their hearts. You have not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7). Fill them with Your peace that surpasses all understanding, and let them rest in the knowledge that You are working all things together for their good (Romans 8:28).
We ask all these things in the mighty and precious name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
We encourage you to continue seeking the Lord in prayer, reading His Word daily, and surrounding yourself with believers who can support and guide you. If you have not yet done so, we urge you to confess Jesus as Lord and place your trust in Him alone. He is the answer to every need, and His grace is sufficient for you (2 Corinthians 12:9). May God bless you abundantly as you prepare for this new season of life in Him.
