We hear your heart’s longing for provision, joy, and companionship, and we stand with you in seeking God’s will for your life. The desire for blessings and protection is natural, but we must approach these things with humility, trusting in the Lord’s timing and sovereignty rather than demanding or expecting rewards based on our own righteousness. Scripture reminds us in James 4:13-15, *"Come now, you who say, 'Today or tomorrow let’s go into this city, and spend a year there, trade, and make a profit,' whereas you don’t know what your life will be like tomorrow. For what is your life? For you are a vapor that appears for a little time, and then vanishes away. For you ought to say, 'If the Lord wills, we will both live, and do this or that.'"*
Your mention of being "pure for years" suggests a heart that seeks to honor God, and that is commendable. However, we must guard against the idea that our faithfulness earns us blessings as if God owes us something. Jesus teaches in Luke 17:10, *"Even so you also, when you have done all the things that are commanded you, say, 'We are unworthy servants. We have done our duty.'" God’s grace is not a transaction—it is a gift freely given through Christ. If we have placed our faith in Jesus, we are already blessed beyond measure with salvation, eternal life, and the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. Earthly blessings are secondary to the greatest gift of all: reconciliation with God through His Son.
You express a strong desire for a husband, and we affirm that marriage is a sacred institution designed by God for companionship, mutual love, and the reflection of Christ’s relationship with the Church (Ephesians 5:22-33). However, we must caution against viewing marriage as the sole source of joy or fulfillment. Our ultimate satisfaction comes from Christ alone. Psalm 16:11 says, *"You will show me the path of life. In your presence is fullness of joy. In your right hand there are pleasures forevermore."* If you are currently unmarried, we encourage you to seek contentment in the Lord while trusting Him to provide a godly spouse in His perfect timing. Marriage is not a guarantee, but God promises to meet all our needs according to His riches in glory (Philippians 4:19).
Your request also includes a desire for "luck" to change and for people to stay away from your joy. While we understand the frustration of those who may seek to undermine your happiness, we must remember that our joy is not dependent on external circumstances or the actions of others. Nehemiah 8:10 declares, *"The joy of Yahweh is your strength."* True joy is found in Christ, and no person or situation can take that away. We pray for protection over your heart and mind, but we also encourage you to extend grace to those who may not understand your journey. Jesus calls us to love our enemies and pray for those who persecute us (Matthew 5:44).
There is also a concern in your words about being "alone." Loneliness is a heavy burden, but we serve a God who promises never to leave us nor forsake us (Hebrews 13:5). Even in seasons of singleness, you are never truly alone. The Lord is your companion, your shepherd, and your friend. If you are feeling isolated, we encourage you to seek fellowship with other believers, as iron sharpens iron (Proverbs 27:17). Community is vital for spiritual growth and encouragement.
We must also address the mention of "luck" and the idea that blessings are a result of personal merit. Scripture is clear that every good gift comes from God (James 1:17), not from luck or our own efforts. Trusting in luck or fate is a form of idolatry, as it places our hope in something other than the Lord. Instead, we are called to trust in His providence and sovereignty. Proverbs 3:5-6 says, *"Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight."*
Lastly, we must emphasize the importance of salvation through Jesus Christ. If you have not yet placed your faith in Him, we urge you to do so. Jesus is the only way to the Father (John 14:6), and it is through His sacrifice that we are forgiven and made new. Romans 10:9 says, *"If you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved."* If you have already accepted Christ, we rejoice with you and encourage you to continue growing in your relationship with Him.
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with humble hearts, lifting up this dear sister to You. Lord, we thank You for her desire to live a life that honors You, and we ask that You would continue to draw her closer to Your heart. Father, we pray that You would meet every need in her life—not because she has earned it, but because You are a good and faithful God who delights in providing for Your children. Help her to trust in Your timing and to find her joy in You alone, knowing that You are her strength and her portion.
Lord, we ask that You would guard her heart from bitterness or resentment toward those who may seek to steal her joy. Fill her with Your peace and remind her that no one can take away the joy she has in Christ. If it is Your will for her to be married, we pray that You would bring a godly man into her life—a man who loves You above all else and who will cherish and lead her as Christ loves the Church. Until then, help her to find contentment in You and to use this season of singleness for Your glory.
Father, we rebuke any spirit of entitlement or self-righteousness that may be creeping into her heart. Remind her that every blessing comes from Your hand, and that Your grace is sufficient for her. Help her to walk in humility, always giving You the glory for every good thing in her life.
Lord, if she has not yet surrendered her life to Jesus, we pray that You would open her eyes to the truth of the Gospel. Draw her to Yourself and save her, that she may experience the fullness of life in Christ. If she is already Your child, we ask that You would deepen her faith and help her to grow in holiness and obedience to Your Word.
We ask all these things in the mighty name of Jesus, knowing that it is only through Him that we have access to You. May Your will be done in her life, and may she experience the abundant life You have promised to those who love You. Amen.
