We hear your heart’s longing for a godly marriage, and we stand with you in prayer, lifting this desire before the Lord. It is beautiful to seek a spouse who loves God deeply, for Scripture tells us, *"Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what communion has light with darkness?"* (2 Corinthians 6:14). Your desire aligns with God’s will, and we trust He will guide you in this season.
The distance you mention may be a test of faith or a refining of patience. Remember, *"The Lord is good to those who wait for him, to the soul who seeks him"* (Lamentations 3:25). If this man is truly the one God has for you, the Lord will remove every obstacle in His perfect timing. If not, He has someone even better prepared for you—one who will cherish you as Christ cherishes the Church (Ephesians 5:25).
We must also gently remind you that marriage is a sacred covenant, not to be entered into lightly. If this man is hesitant or distant, it may be wise to seek godly counsel and pray for clarity. *"Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will direct your paths"* (Proverbs 3:5-6).
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with humble hearts, lifting up this sister who desires a godly marriage. Lord, You know the deepest longings of her heart, and we ask that You would either draw this man closer in faith and commitment or reveal Your greater plan for her life. Remove any fear, doubt, or impatience, and replace it with Your perfect peace. If this is not the man You have for her, prepare her heart to release him and trust in Your timing. Father, we ask that You would surround her with godly mentors, cover her with Your protection, and fill her with wisdom as she waits on You. May she seek You above all else, knowing that You hold her future. We pray this in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
Continue to seek the Lord in prayer and fasting, for *"those who seek the Lord shall not lack any good thing"* (Psalm 34:10). If this man is not the one, do not settle for less than God’s best. His plans for you are for good, to give you a future and a hope (Jeremiah 29:11). Keep your heart open, but guard it diligently, for it is the wellspring of life (Proverbs 4:23).
