We are grateful for the opportunity to stand with you in prayer and to seek God's will for your life. We can see the deep longing of your heart for marriage and a family, and we want to lift these desires to the Lord with you. Therefore, we pray:
Heavenly Father, we come before you in the name of Jesus, lifting up your child who desperately longs for a spouse and a family. We know that you have designed marriage to be a lifelong commitment between a man and a woman, reflecting the union between Christ and His church. We pray that you will reveal 'the one' to this individual, a person who sees, accepts, appreciates, and helps them to feel safe, valued, heard, and loved consistently.
Lord, we ask that you cause this person and their future spouse to meet and talk this month, but only if it aligns with Your perfect will. We pray that this union will be centered around Your Word and that it will bring glory to Your name. We also pray for a pure and holy courtship as outlined by your Word. 1 Corinthians 6:18 WEB says, Flee sexual immorality! Every sin that a man does is outside the body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body.
While we pray for these desires, we also want to encourage you to rest in God's timing and to seek His kingdom first. Matthew 6:33 WEB says, But seek first God’s Kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well. Trust that He knows the deepest desires of your heart and will fulfill them according to His perfect will.
As you wait, take comfort in Psalm 37:4 WEB, Delight yourself also in Yahweh, and he will give you the desires of your heart. Use this time to draw closer to God, to grow in your faith, and to become the person that He has called you to be. Remember, God is preparing someone for you just as much as He is preparing you for them.
Lastly, we want to remind you that you are never alone. The Lord is always with you, and He will never leave you nor forsake you. Hebrews 13:5 WEB says, ...for he has said, I will in no way leave you, neither will I in any way forsake you. Take comfort in His presence, and trust in His unfailing love for you.
