We join you with grateful hearts in lifting up this upcoming first meeting from November 4 to 11 and we thank you for surrendering every detail into the Lord's hands and for praying in the name of Jesus, for it is only through Him that we have access to the Father.

We rejoice in your desire that your plans align seamlessly with His perfect will. Scripture reminds us that a man's heart plans his course, but Yahweh directs his steps, Proverbs 16:9, and we pray that you will hold this time with open hands before Him. We ask that His will, not merely our wishes, be done, and that He will make your paths straight as you trust in Him with all your heart, Proverbs 3:5-6.

We pray together for your travels and for the favor you have requested regarding work leave. We ask the Lord to grant smooth and safe flights, clear and favorable weather, and His peace throughout the transit. Yahweh will keep your going out and your coming in, from this time forward, and forever more, Psalm 121:8. We also bring your financial concerns before our Provider, trusting His promise that my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus, Philippians 4:19, and we pray He will remove the burden of worry so you can focus on what He has set before you. We agree with you for unhindered favor for approved leave, and we pray that even if the answer is delayed or different than hoped, you will receive His peace which surpasses all understanding to guard your hearts and thoughts in Christ Jesus, Philippians 4:6-7.

We also lift up those being left behind, your loved one's mother and the beloved dogs, and the family and friends who will welcome you. We ask the Lord to watch over them, keep them safe, comforted, and at peace, for He gives His angels charge over us to keep us in all our ways, Psalm 91:11.

As you pray for a deep genuine love and an undeniable spark and for grace, mutual understanding, and abundant joy, we want to encourage you with biblical wisdom for this courtship season. We believe marriage is a lifelong commitment between a man and a woman that honors God, and we pray that any relationship be pursued with that holy goal in view. A boyfriend and girlfriend season should be considered courtship with the goal of discerning marriage to another Christian believer. We gently exhort you to ensure you are not unequally yoked, for what fellowship has light with darkness, 2 Corinthians 6:14, and to seek wise counsel, accountability, and purity during this first meeting. Can two walk together, unless they have agreed, Amos 3:3. We encourage you to walk in agreement about your faith in Christ and your commitment to honor Him.

Because this is your first in person meeting and you will be spending extended time together, we lovingly urge you to guard against temptation and to keep the time above reproach. Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the bed be undefiled, but God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterers, Hebrews 13:4. For this is the will of God, your sanctification, that you abstain from sexual immorality, that each one of you know how to possess himself of his own vessel in sanctification and honor, 1 Thessalonians 4:3-4. We pray you will choose arrangements that protect purity, such as separate lodging and time spent with family and friends or in public settings, so that your growing affection is marked by holiness, self control, and mutual respect, and that you will build cherished memories that are joyful and also blameless before the Lord.

We pray now together.

Heavenly Father, we come before You in Jesus' name with thanksgiving for the opportunity before these two. We place November 4 to 11 entirely in Your hands. Direct every step, provide safe travel by air and by land, calm the weather by Your command, and let Your protection rest over the entire journey. Grant favor for work leave and supply every financial need according to Your riches in glory, lifting every heavy burden of worry. Stir in both hearts a love that is patient, kind, and rooted in You, and grant discernment to see one another clearly through Your eyes. Help them to pursue courtship in purity and honor, seeking first Your kingdom and a marriage that glorifies You if it is Your will. Bless the gatherings with family and friends with grace and unity, and watch over the mother and the dogs left at home, keeping them healthy, secure, and filled with Your peace. Above all, let Your perfect will be done and let these days be filled with grace, mutual understanding, and joy that points to You. In Jesus' name we pray, Amen.

Thank you for letting us pray with you about November 4 to 11. We can hear both the gratitude and the nervous anticipation as this first meeting approaches, with so many details in motion at once.

We are joining you in asking for the Lord's care over what you can place in His hands and wisdom for what you can steward. Travel, weather, work leave, finances, and care for loved ones at home can feel heavy when they all come together, and it helps to hold them one at a time before Him while also taking practical steps.

One thing that often eases the pressure in a week like this is to get the logistics on paper early. Confirming leave approval in writing, confirming flights and backup options, setting a clear budget for the trip, and leaving a simple care plan for ###'s mom and the dogs with a trusted person can bring peace to everyone involved. Talking openly with ### beforehand about expectations for the time together, including how you both want to honor the Lord and keep the visit restful and unhurried, can also help you both arrive with clearer hearts.

Father, we bring this whole week to You. We ask for safe travel, for peace that steadies anxious thoughts, for provision where there is need, and for Your watchful care over the family and pets at home. Grant wisdom and clarity to both ### and our friend, and let all that is done reflect Your love and will. In Jesus' name, amen.

[Spurgeon]

Your request for the days of November 4 to 11 has been heard, and we join you in laying it before the throne of grace with a desire above all that the will of the Lord be done.

We are taught that as surely as God's will is the axle of the universe, so all things are under His regulation and have an appointed place in His plan, and nothing happens but what He permits or ordains. It is foolish for any of us to say, we will go, we will do this or that, and we will gain our desire, without asking God's consent at all. The apostle reminds us to say, If the Lord wills, we shall live and do this or that. So we do not merely ask God to seal our plans, but we surrender our plans to be corrected and shaped by Him.

In that spirit we pray for you. Heavenly Father, we bow before Thy sovereignty and Thy mercy in Jesus Christ, through whom alone is salvation. We ask that Thou wouldst govern every step of this journey according to Thy perfect and revealed will. If it be Thy will, grant safe travels, favorable weather, and Thy keeping hand over every transit. Grant favor concerning work and leave, and supply every need according to Thy riches, that financial cares may not distract from seeking Thee first. Watch in Thy providence over those left at home, over a mother and over all entrusted to care, and keep them in Thy kindness.

We lift up this meeting itself. Thou hast shown us Thy revealed will for love and for life together, that marriage is the lifelong covenant of one man and one woman, and that all intimacy and dwelling together belongs within that holy bond, and that we must not violate Thy revealed will even while we seek Thy secret providence. We therefore do not ask Thee to stir mere feeling or to bless any spark apart from holiness, but we ask Thee to give a clear mind, a pure heart, and mutual understanding governed by grace. Teach both hearts to combine those two prayers which Christ Himself perfected, I will, yet not as I will, but as Thou wilt. Let self will be nothing else but Thy will, and let every affection be brought under the cross of Christ, in purity, in honesty, and in honor toward family and friends who witness your conduct.

If this acquaintance be of Thee and may by Thy grace lead toward that holy covenant, make it to abound in wisdom, patience, and joy that is clean and lasting. If it be not of Thee, or if it would lead away from Thy way, we pray Thou wouldst in mercy restrain, redirect, and make Thy will plain, changing the human will and making us willing in the day of Thy power to will and to do of Thy good pleasure. Keep both from falling, for Thou art able to keep Thy people from falling and to preserve them. Let no good thing be sought apart from promoting Thy will, for our best profit is to do Thy will.

We ask all this not because we are worthy, but because Christ is worthy, and His blood alone can make our prayers to be heard. May these days, whether they unfold as hoped or otherwise, leave you more conformed to the image of Thy Son, more grateful for mercies given, and more humbly trusting in Thy fatherly pity which corrects, provides, and keeps. In the name of Jesus our only hope, Amen.
