We come before the Lord with you in this time of seeking His will for your life, lifting up your desires for a godly marriage and your need for provision through employment. It is beautiful that your heart longs to serve the Lord in marriage, for Scripture reminds us that *"a man leaves his father and his mother, and joins with his wife, and they become one flesh"* (Genesis 2:24, WEB). Marriage is a sacred covenant designed by God, and we pray that He would prepare you to be a faithful spouse while also preparing the one He has for you—a believer who loves the Lord with all their heart and walks in obedience to His Word.
We also recognize the weight of your job loss, and we trust that the Lord, who is our Provider, will open doors of opportunity for you. *"But seek first God’s Kingdom and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well"* (Matthew 6:33, WEB). Your season of waiting is not in vain; God is refining your trust in Him and aligning your steps for His glory. We encourage you to remain diligent in your search while surrendering your anxiety to Him, for *"Don’t be anxious for anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus"* (Philippians 4:6-7, WEB).
Now, let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we lift up Your child before You, asking that You would guide their steps in the pursuit of a godly marriage. Lord, You know the desires of their heart, and we pray that You would prepare them to be a spouse who reflects Your love, patience, and faithfulness. Bring into their life a believer who is grounded in Your Word, who seeks Your will above all else, and who will walk alongside them in serving You. May this future marriage be a testimony of Your grace and a light in this world.
We also bring their need for employment before You, Lord. You are Jehovah Jireh, the God who provides. Open doors that no one can shut, and grant them favor in the eyes of those who have the authority to hire. Give them wisdom to recognize the right opportunities and the strength to persevere in this season. Let this time of waiting draw them closer to You, trusting in Your perfect timing and provision.
Father, we ask all these things in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, for it is only through Him that we have access to Your throne of grace. May Your will be done in their life, and may they continue to seek You above all else. Strengthen their faith, guard their heart, and fill them with Your peace as they wait on You. In Jesus’ name, we pray, Amen.
As you wait on the Lord, we encourage you to remain steadfast in prayer, immersed in Scripture, and active in your local church body. Surround yourself with believers who can speak truth and encouragement into your life. If there are areas where you feel uncertain or lacking in faith, bring them before the Lord—He is faithful to complete the work He has begun in you (Philippians 1:6, WEB). Keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, for He is the author and perfecter of your faith (Hebrews 12:2, WEB).
