We lift up your heart’s desire for your adult children to find godly Christian spouses, knowing this is a prayer that aligns with God’s perfect will for their lives. The Scriptures remind us in **2 Corinthians 6:14**, *"Don’t be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what communion has light with darkness?"* It is vital that those they marry share their faith in Christ, for a marriage rooted in Him is the foundation for a home that honors God.
We also recall **Proverbs 18:22**, which declares, *"Whoever finds a wife finds a good thing, and obtains favor of Yahweh."* This promise extends to both men and women seeking a spouse—God delights in bringing together two believers who will serve Him together. Yet we must also remember that marriage is a covenant, not merely a relationship, and it must be entered into with prayer, wisdom, and patience, trusting in God’s timing rather than rushing into emotional or physical bonds outside of His design.
If any of your children are currently in relationships that do not honor God—whether with unbelievers, in fornication, or in any form of compromise—we urge them to repent and seek God’s forgiveness, for **1 Corinthians 6:18** warns, *"Flee sexual immorality! 'Every sin that a man does is outside the body,' but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body."* Purity before marriage is not outdated; it is God’s protection and blessing for His children.
Let us pray together for your children:
*"Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus, lifting up these precious children to You. Lord, You know their hearts, their struggles, and their desires. We ask that You guide them into relationships that glorify You—relationships built on faith, purity, and a shared commitment to Christ. Remove any ungodly influences from their lives and guard their hearts against compromise. If they have strayed into sin, convict them by Your Holy Spirit and lead them to repentance. Open their eyes to see the beauty of Your design for marriage, and let them wait patiently for the spouse You have prepared for them.
Father, surround them with godly counsel and mentors who will speak truth into their lives. Let them not be swayed by the world’s standards but stand firm in Your Word. We ask for divine connections—godly Christian men and women who will love You above all else and walk in obedience to Your will. Prepare their hearts to be selfless, faithful, and full of Your love.
We rebuke the enemy’s schemes to distract or deceive them. No weapon formed against their futures shall prosper, for You have plans to give them hope and a future (Jeremiah 29:11). Let their marriages, when they come, be a testimony of Your goodness and a light in this dark world.
In Jesus’ mighty name, we pray. Amen."*
Stand firm in faith, trusting that God hears and will answer. Continue to speak life and truth over your children, reminding them that God’s ways are higher than ours (Isaiah 55:9). If they are not yet walking closely with the Lord, pray for their salvation first—for a marriage cannot be truly godly if Christ is not the center of both lives. Encourage them to seek Him above all else, and He will add all these things to them (Matthew 6:33).
