Love interest

Anonymous

Beloved of All
Please pray for God to reveal himself to me in terms of my recent interest. I’m both young and often doubtful. In the past whenever I have had crushes it always only lasts a second, but this “crush” feels different. For once instead of me seeking him out, he initiated our friendship, he is a strong believer, we have many similar interests and beliefs, and he has some charm to him that I can’t explain. Recently my mother, brother, and I have uprooted our life and moved to a new state, and I feel like I’m here for a reason, but don’t know what that is yet, and if I’m being honest it’s probably multiple things. However, I’m still doubtful of my crush and if he could be the one. Please pray for God to show himself to me, remove my doubtful thoughts, and tell me if I should or shouldn’t pursue this relationship.
 
We hear your heart in this request, and we stand with you in seeking God’s wisdom and clarity. First, we want to acknowledge your openness to God’s leading—this is a beautiful posture of faith. The fact that you are asking Him to reveal Himself and guide your steps shows a humble and teachable spirit, which is exactly where He delights to work. "Trust in Yahweh 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" (Proverbs 3:5-6).

Your desire for God to remove doubt is something we can all relate to, especially when it comes to matters of the heart. Doubt can feel like a heavy cloud, but Scripture reminds us that God is not the author of confusion. "For God is not a God of confusion, but of peace" (1 Corinthians 14:33). We believe He wants to speak to you clearly, and we join you in asking Him to do just that. The fact that this young man initiated the friendship, shares your faith, and aligns with your values is worth noting. These are not small things—they are the foundation of a godly marriage, should that be what the Lord has for you. "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). It is a blessing that he is a strong believer, and we pray that the Lord would continue to grow him in his walk with Christ.

However, we must also address the reality of your doubts. Doubt is not always a sign that something is wrong; sometimes, it is an invitation to draw closer to God and seek His face more intentionally. Your move to a new state is significant, and it is understandable that you feel like you are there for a reason. We believe God often uses seasons of transition to speak to us and redirect our paths. "For I know the thoughts that I think toward you," says Yahweh, "thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you hope and a future" (Jeremiah 29:11). This is a time to press into Him, to seek His face in prayer, and to listen for His voice. We encourage you to spend time in His Word, asking Him to reveal His will for this season of your life.

As you consider the possibility of pursuing a relationship with this young man, we want to gently remind you of the importance of guarding your heart. "Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it" (Proverbs 4:23). While your feelings are valid, they should not be the sole guide for your decisions. Instead, let God’s Word and His peace be the compass that directs your steps. Courtship, as you likely know, is a season of intentionality with the goal of discerning whether marriage is God’s will. It is not a time to rush or to ignore red flags, but rather a time to observe, pray, and seek counsel. "Without counsel, plans fail, but with many advisers, they succeed" (Proverbs 15:22). We encourage you to seek wisdom from trusted mentors, pastors, or mature believers who can speak into this situation.

We also want to address the importance of waiting on the Lord’s timing. It can be tempting to want to move forward quickly, especially when feelings are involved, but God’s timing is always perfect. "Wait for Yahweh. Be strong, and let your heart take courage. Yes, wait for Yahweh" (Psalm 27:14). If this young man is indeed the one the Lord has for you, He will confirm it in His time. Until then, focus on growing in your relationship with Christ and allowing Him to prepare you for whatever He has next.

Now, we lift you up in prayer:

Heavenly Father, we come before You with hearts full of faith and expectation. We thank You for this sister in Christ and for her desire to seek Your will above all else. Lord, we ask that You would reveal Yourself to her in a powerful and personal way. Remove the doubts that cloud her mind and replace them with Your peace, which surpasses all understanding. Give her clarity, Father, as she seeks to discern Your will for her life and for this potential relationship. We pray that You would speak to her through Your Word, through prayer, and through the counsel of godly mentors.

Lord, if this young man is the one You have for her, we ask that You would confirm it in ways that leave no room for doubt. Open doors that no one can shut and close doors that no one can open. Give her wisdom to recognize Your leading and the courage to follow it. If this is not Your will, we pray that You would gently close this door and redirect her heart toward Your perfect plan. Help her to trust in Your timing and to rest in the knowledge that You have her best interests at heart.

Father, we also pray for this young man. If he is the one You have for her, we ask that You would continue to grow him in his faith and prepare him to be a godly husband. Give him wisdom, humility, and a heart that seeks You above all else. If he is not the one, we pray that You would lead him to the woman You have for him and bless him abundantly in his walk with You.

Lord, we ask that You would use this season of transition in her life to draw her closer to You. Help her to see the purpose in this move and to trust that You are working all things together for her good. Give her peace in the unknown and joy in the journey. We pray that You would surround her with community, with believers who will encourage her, challenge her, and walk alongside her in this season.

Finally, Lord, we ask that You would protect her heart. Guard her from rushing ahead of Your timing and from making decisions based on emotion rather than Your will. Help her to wait on You, to seek Your face, and to trust in Your perfect plan. We pray all of this in the mighty name of Jesus, the name above all names, the One who gives us access to You and through whom we have salvation. Amen.

We encourage you to continue seeking the Lord in this season. Spend time in His Word, in prayer, and in worship. Ask Him to speak to you clearly and to give you peace as you wait on His timing. Remember that He loves you deeply and has a plan for your life—a plan that is good, pleasing, and perfect. "For I know the plans I have for you," declares Yahweh, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future" (Jeremiah 29:11). Trust in Him, and He will direct your steps.
 
We're right there with you, sis, as you navigate this journey of the heart. It's such a beautiful thing to see you seeking God's face in this matter. We've been where you are, feeling that tug, those butterflies, and the doubts that come with them. It's okay to feel all of that, and it's even more beautiful that you're bringing it all to God.

We love that you've noticed the similarities in your faith and values with this young man. That's a great foundation to build on, but remember, God's got the blueprint, and He's the master architect. Trust that He knows what He's doing, even when we can't see the full picture yet.

We hear you about the move and the feeling of being there for a reason. God often uses these transitions to speak to us, to redirect our paths. It's a time to lean in, to listen, and to trust. Spend time with Him, in His Word, in prayer, and in worship. Ask Him to reveal His will for this season of your life and for this potential relationship.

As you consider pursuing this, remember to guard your heart. It's a treasure, and God wants to protect it. While feelings are real and valid, they shouldn't be the only compass guiding your decisions. Let God's Word and His peace be your guide. Take it slow, observe, pray, and seek counsel from trusted mentors.

And hey, it's okay to not have all the answers right now. God's timing is perfect, and He's working all things together for your good. Trust that He sees the bigger picture, and He's got you.

So, let's pray together, shall we? "Lord, we come before You, thanking You for this sister in Christ and her desire to seek Your will above all else. Lord, we ask that You would reveal Yourself to her in a powerful and personal way. Remove the doubts that cloud her mind and replace them with Your peace. Give her clarity, Father, as she seeks to discern Your will for her life and for this potential relationship. If this young man is the one You have for her, we ask that You would confirm it in ways that leave no room for doubt. Open doors that no one can shut and close doors that no one can open. Give her wisdom to recognize Your leading and the courage to follow it. If this is not Your will, we pray that You would gently close this door and redirect her heart toward Your perfect plan. Help her to trust in Your timing and to rest in the knowledge that You have her best interests at heart. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
 
May God in Jesus' name answer your prayer request according to God's perfect love, wisdom, will, timing, grace, and mercy.

Psalm 37:4: Delight yourself in the Lord, And He shall give you the desires of your heart.
Matthew 6:33: But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.
