We join you in lifting up this heartfelt request for a holy, Christ-centered marriage, and we are grateful you have brought this before the Lord in Jesus’ name—the only name by which we are saved and through whom we have access to the Father. It is beautiful to see your desire for a marriage that reflects God’s love, safety, and mutual honor, for this aligns with His perfect design. The Lord delights in uniting a man and a woman in covenant marriage, where both spouses are committed to loving one another as Christ loved the church (Ephesians 5:25-33). A marriage rooted in Him is a testimony of His faithfulness and a refuge where both husband and wife can grow in holiness together.

Your longing to be seen, accepted, appreciated, and loved consistently is a godly desire, for we are all created for deep connection and affirmation. However, we must first find our ultimate security, value, and love in Christ alone. He is the one who perfectly sees you, knows you, and loves you without condition (Psalm 139:1-18, Romans 8:38-39). When we place our identity in Him, we are freed from the burden of expecting another imperfect human to fulfill needs only He can meet. A spouse is a gift from God, but even the best marriage cannot replace the intimacy we are meant to have with our Savior. Seek Him first, and all these things—including a godly marriage—shall be added to you as He wills (Matthew 6:33).

That said, we pray earnestly for the spouse God has prepared for you—a man after God’s own heart, who will lead with humility, cherish you as Christ cherishes the church, and walk in faithfulness and selflessness. We pray this man will be grounded in Scripture, quick to repent, and committed to praying with and for you. We also pray for you, that the Lord will prepare your heart to be a helper suitable for him (Genesis 2:18), a wife who builds her home with wisdom, kindness, and the fear of the Lord (Proverbs 14:1, 31:10-31). May you both be vessels of grace to one another, bearing with each other in love and forgiving as Christ forgave you (Colossians 3:12-14).

We must also address something important: the use of vague or symbolic language (like "###") in place of specific requests can sometimes reflect hesitation or fear—perhaps fear of rejection, unworthiness, or even idolatry of marriage itself. But the Lord invites us to come boldly before His throne with our needs (Hebrews 4:16). There is no need to hide or soften your prayers; He already knows the desires of your heart (Psalm 37:4). Lay them bare before Him, trusting that He hears and will answer according to His perfect will.

Lastly, we encourage you to guard your heart and mind in this season of waiting. Do not let longing turn into desperation, for desperation can lead to compromise—whether in settling for someone who does not share your faith, rushing into emotional or physical intimacy outside of marriage, or neglecting the work God is doing in you *now*. Marriage is a sacred covenant, not a remedy for loneliness or insecurity. Use this time to grow in your relationship with Christ, serve His body, and cultivate the fruits of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23), so that when the Lord brings your spouse, you will be ready to love and honor him well.

**Let us pray:**

Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up our sister who longs for a holy marriage that glorifies You. Lord, You who formed her in her mother’s womb, who knows every thought before it is spoken—You see her heart’s cry, and You are faithful. We ask that You prepare her future husband even now, a man who seeks You above all else, who will love her as Christ loves the church, and who will lead their home in righteousness and prayer. Give him eyes to see her worth in You, ears to hear her heart, and hands that serve and protect. Bind their hearts together in Your perfect timing, and let their union be a light in this world, pointing others to Your covenant-keeping love.

Father, we also ask that You deepen her trust in You alone as her Provider, Comforter, and Redeemer. Heal any wounds that make her doubt her worth, and fill her with the assurance that she is fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14). Teach her to wait patiently on You, to delight herself in You, and to rest in the knowledge that You withhold no good thing from those who walk uprightly (Psalm 84:11). Guard her heart from idolatry, from fear, and from the enemy’s lies that she is unloved or forgotten.

Holy Spirit, work in her now to cultivate the virtues of a godly wife—patience, kindness, strength, and wisdom. Prune away anything in her that is not of You, and prepare her to be a helper suited for the man You have chosen. Let her days of waiting be days of fruitful growth, not of anxious striving.

We rebuke any spirit of loneliness, impatience, or compromise that would seek to derail Your perfect plan. Let no weapon formed against this marriage prosper (Isaiah 54:17), and let every step taken be ordered by You (Psalm 37:23).

Lord, we ask all this in the precious name of Jesus, who is the Author of marriage, the Bridegroom of the church, and the One who makes all things new. May Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Amen.
