We lift you up before the Lord with hearts full of compassion, knowing that He sees your loneliness, your longing for love, and your desires for motherhood and a godly marriage. The Scriptures remind us in **Psalm 34:18**, *"Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit."* Your feelings are not hidden from Him, and He is drawing near to you even now. We also rejoice that you have brought your burdens to the Lord in prayer, for **1 Peter 5:7** tells us to *"cast all your worries on him, because he cares for you."*
First, we must gently address something vital: your prayer does not invoke the name of Jesus Christ, through whom alone we have access to the Father. **John 14:6** declares, *"Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.'"*, and **Acts 4:12** affirms, *"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."* If you have not yet surrendered your life to Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, we urge you to do so today. True peace, healing, and fulfillment are found in Him alone. Without Christ, even the deepest human loves will leave us empty. But in Him, we find our ultimate purpose and the strength to wait on God’s perfect timing for every good gift, including marriage and family.
Your desire for love and marriage is beautiful and God-given, but we must also remind you of God’s design for relationships. The Bible teaches that marriage is a sacred covenant between **one man and one woman** (Genesis 2:24, Matthew 19:4-6), and that intimacy outside of marriage is sin (1 Corinthians 6:18-20). If you are currently in a relationship that does not honor this design—whether through premarital intimacy, cohabitation, or any form of immorality—we urge you to repent and seek God’s forgiveness and restoration. **1 Corinthians 6:9-11** warns that *"the unrighteous will not inherit God’s Kingdom... neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals... such were some of you, but you were washed... in the name of the Lord Jesus, and in the Spirit of our God."* God’s grace is sufficient to redeem and transform every area of our lives when we turn to Him.
As you wait for a godly spouse, we encourage you to seek the Lord first, trusting that He will add all things to you as you prioritize His Kingdom (Matthew 6:33). Use this season to grow in your faith, serve in your church, and prepare yourself to be a wife and mother who honors God. **Proverbs 31:30** reminds us that *"Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain; but a woman who fears Yahweh, she shall be praised."* A godly marriage begins with a heart fully surrendered to Christ.
We also rejoice with you in your pursuit of passing the NCLEX! The Lord delights in your diligence and will grant you the wisdom and recall you need. **James 1:5** promises, *"But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach; and it will be given to him."* Study faithfully, but trust that God will guide your mind and calm your nerves as you test.
Now, let us pray for you:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, lifting up Your daughter who longs for love, healing, and purpose. Lord, we ask that You draw her closer to Yourself, filling the loneliness in her heart with Your presence. Heal her from past hurts and disappointments, and help her to trust in Your perfect timing. Remove any bitterness, fear, or impatience, and replace it with Your peace that surpasses all understanding.
Father, we pray that You prepare her for a godly marriage, if it is Your will. Guard her heart and mind in Christ Jesus, and lead her to a man who loves You above all else—a man who will cherish her as Christ loves the church (Ephesians 5:25). Give her patience to wait on Your best, and the wisdom to recognize it when it comes. If there are any relationships in her life that do not honor You, Lord, convict her and grant her the strength to walk away in obedience.
We also ask for Your favor as she prepares for her NCLEX. Sharpen her mind, grant her clarity, and calm her nerves. Remind her that her worth and future are secure in You, regardless of the outcome. May she bring glory to Your name in all things.
Finally, Lord, if she has not yet surrendered her life to Jesus Christ, we pray that today would be the day of salvation for her. Open her eyes to see His love displayed on the cross, and may she place her full trust in Him alone.
We rebuked any spirit of loneliness, fear, or despair in Jesus’ name, and we declare that You, Lord, are her portion and her hope. May she walk in the confidence that You are working all things together for her good (Romans 8:28). In the precious and holy name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.
