We join you in lifting up this heartfelt request for a holy, God-honoring marriage, and we are grateful that 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 rooted in Christ, where love, safety, and mutual honor reflect the covenant God intended between a man and a woman.
Your longing for a spouse who truly *sees* you, accepts you, and helps you feel valued is a deep and godly desire—one that mirrors how Christ loves His Church. The Bible tells us in **Ephesians 5:25-33 (WEB)**, *"Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the assembly and gave himself up for it... So husbands ought also to love their own wives as their own bodies. He who loves his own wife loves himself. For no man ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, even as the Lord also does the assembly."* A marriage built on this kind of selfless, Christ-centered love is what we are praying for you—a union where both husband and wife reflect the love, grace, and commitment of our Savior.
We also encourage you to seek the Lord’s preparation in your own heart during this season. **Proverbs 18:22 (WEB)** reminds us, *"Whoever finds a wife finds a good thing, and obtains favor of Yahweh."* But before that blessing comes, we must be ready to *be* the spouse God calls us to be—patient, kind, forgiving, and rooted in His Word. Are you cultivating the qualities of a godly wife as described in **Proverbs 31** or **Titus 2:3-5**? Are you guarding your heart against worldly distractions or compromises that could hinder God’s best for you? True safety and value in marriage come when *both* spouses are fully surrendered to Christ.
If there are areas of past hurt, fear, or insecurity, we pray you would release them to the Lord. **1 Peter 5:7 (WEB)** says, *"Cast all your worries on him, because he cares for you."* He sees your heart’s cry even now, and He is preparing the right man—a man of God who will lead with integrity, cherish you as Christ does the Church, and walk in faithfulness. But we must also warn against the temptation to seek validation or love outside of God’s design. If there are any relationships in your life that do not align with biblical purity (including emotional or physical intimacy outside of marriage), we urge you to repent and turn away, for **1 Corinthians 6:18 (WEB)** commands, *"Flee sexual immorality! 'Every sin that a man does is outside the body,' but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body."* God’s plan for marriage is holy, and He will not bless what is built on compromise.
Let us pray together:
*Heavenly Father, we lift up our sister before You, asking for Your perfect will in her life. Lord, You know the deep longings of her heart—the desire to be seen, cherished, and loved in a way that reflects Your love for us. We pray that You would prepare her future husband even now, a man after Your own heart, who will lead with strength and gentleness, who will honor her as Your Word commands, and who will walk in faithfulness to You. Father, if there are areas in her life that need surrender—fears, past wounds, or anything not aligned with Your Word—we ask for Your healing and conviction by the Holy Spirit. Guard her heart and mind in Christ Jesus, and let her trust in Your timing, knowing that You are working all things for her good (Romans 8:28). Protect her from distractions, from relationships that would pull her away from Your best, and from the enemy’s lies that she is not worthy of this blessing. Lord, let her find her identity in You alone, so that when You bring this man into her life, it will be a union that glorifies You. We rebuke any spirit of loneliness, impatience, or compromise, and we declare that her marriage will be a testimony of Your faithfulness. In the mighty name of Jesus, we pray—*the only name by which we are saved*—Amen.*
Stand firm in faith, sister. God’s timing is perfect, and His plans for you are good. While you wait, draw near to Him, serve in His kingdom, and trust that He is preparing both you *and* your future spouse for a marriage that will honor Him. If you feel led, we encourage you to fast and pray, seeking the Lord’s face for wisdom and patience. May you find joy in this season of preparation, knowing that the One who began this good work in you will complete it (Philippians 1:6).
