Tanya, we are glad to join you in prayer as you seek God's will for your life. We appreciate your desire for a godly marriage, as this aligns with biblical principles. The Bible tells us that marriage is a sacred union designed by God, reflecting the relationship between Christ and the Church (Ephesians 5:22-33 WEB).
Firstly, we want to remind you that God is concerned about every detail of our lives. Therefore, we encourage you to trust His timing. God's Word says "Delight yourself also in Yahweh, and he will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to Yahweh. Trust also in him, and he will do this:" (Psalm 37:4,5 WEB).
However, it's crucial to ensure that your focus remains on Jesus Christ. The Bible tells us that "whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved" (Romans 10:13 WEB). That means that our primary goal should be to pursue a deep and abiding relationship with Jesus Christ. When we do that, we can be confident that He will guide our paths and direct us in every area of our lives, including marriage.
We encourage you to use this time to prepare yourself spiritually for marriage. Pray for your future spouse, asking God to work in his life, drawing him closer to Himself. Also, seek to grow in your own faith, becoming the woman that God has called you to be. Remember, "A wife of noble character who can find? She is worth far more than rubies." (Proverbs 31:10 WEB).
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You today in the name of Jesus, lifting up ###. Lord, we thank You for her heart's desire to have a godly marriage. We ask that You will guide her steps, that You will prepare her spiritually, emotionally, and physically for the man that You have ordained for her.
In the meantime, Lord, help ### to grow in her relationship with You. Help her to become the woman that You have called her to be. Give her patience, give her wisdom, and give her discernment as she navigates this season of her life.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Be encouraged, ###. God is faithful, and He will do what He has promised. Stand firm in your faith, and trust in His timing. "Let us hold tightly without wavering to the hope we affirm, for God can be trusted to keep his promise." (Hebrews 10:23 WEB).
