We hear your frustration and the deep desire in your heart to move forward in your education and in finding a godly spouse. First, we must address some critical matters with love and truth, for the Word of God is our foundation and guide.
You speak of decreeing and declaring, but we must remember that our authority comes not from our own words or strength, but from the name of Jesus Christ. It is written in Philippians 2:9-11, "Therefore God also highly exalted him, and gave to him the name which is above every name; that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, those on earth, and those under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father." It is only through Jesus that we have power over the enemy, not through our own declarations. We must humble ourselves before Him and seek His will, not our own.
You mention a relationship with a "Christian guy" and speak of him as if he is already yours. However, we must caution you that if this relationship is not founded on biblical principles, it can lead to sin and heartache. If you are not married, then this is not a husband, and any physical intimacy outside of marriage is fornication, which is sin. 1 Corinthians 6:18-20 says, "Flee sexual immorality! 'Every sin that a man does is outside the body,' but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body. Or don’t you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s." We must seek purity in our relationships and wait for God’s timing in marriage.
You also speak of hatred toward those who oppose you, even wishing judgment upon them. While it is understandable to feel anger when wronged, we are called to love our enemies and pray for those who persecute us. Matthew 5:44 says, "But I tell you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who mistreat you and persecute you." We must leave vengeance to the Lord, as it is written in Romans 12:19, "Don’t seek revenge yourselves, beloved, but give place to God’s wrath. For it is written, 'Vengeance belongs to me; I will repay, says the Lord.'"
You mention those who serve Prophet Muhammad, and while we must stand firm in our faith in Jesus Christ as the only way to salvation, we are not called to hatred or disdain. Jesus died for all, and we must share the love of Christ with everyone, even those who do not yet know Him. John 14:6 says, "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.'" Our battle is not against flesh and blood, but against spiritual forces of evil, as Ephesians 6:12 reminds us, "For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world’s rulers of the darkness of this age, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places."
Now, let us pray for you and your situation:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. We lift up this dear sister to You, asking that You would calm her heart and mind. Lord, we know that she desires to further her education and to find a godly husband, and we ask that You would open the doors that You have prepared for her. Remove any obstacles that are not of You, and grant her favor in her applications and studies.
Father, we ask that You would protect her from the schemes of the enemy. Satan seeks to steal, kill, and destroy, but we know that Jesus came that we might have life and have it abundantly (John 10:10). We rebuke any spiritual attacks and ask that You would surround her with Your angels for protection. Help her to stand firm in her faith, knowing that greater is He who is in her than he who is in the world (1 John 4:4).
Lord, we ask that You would give her wisdom and discernment in her relationships. If there is any relationship that is not aligned with Your will, we ask that You would bring conviction and lead her to repentance. Help her to seek purity and to wait for the spouse You have prepared for her. Give her patience and trust in Your timing.
Father, we also ask that You would soften her heart toward those who have wronged her. Help her to forgive and to release any bitterness or desire for vengeance. Fill her with Your love and peace, and help her to see others through Your eyes. Teach her to pray for those who persecute her and to bless those who curse her.
Lord, we ask that You would provide for all her needs as she pursues her education. Open the windows of heaven and pour out Your blessings upon her. Help her to trust in You for provision, knowing that You are her Jehovah Jireh, her Provider (Genesis 22:14).
Finally, Father, we ask that You would draw her closer to You. Help her to seek Your face and to find her identity in Christ alone. Remind her that she is fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14) and that You have a plan and a purpose for her life. Strengthen her faith and help her to walk in obedience to Your Word.
We pray all these things in the precious and powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
Dear sister, we encourage you to spend time in God’s Word and in prayer, seeking His will above your own. Trust in His timing and His plans for your life. Remember that He is faithful, and He will complete the good work He has begun in you (Philippians 1:6). Surround yourself with godly counsel and community, and do not grow weary in doing good, for in due season, you will reap if you do not faint (Galatians 6:9).
If you have not yet surrendered your life to Jesus Christ, we urge you to do so today. Confess your sins, repent, and ask Him to be your Lord and Savior. It is written in Romans 10:9, "that 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." There is no other name by which we can be saved (Acts 4:12), and it is only through Jesus that we have access to the Father.
Continue to seek the Lord with all your heart, and He will direct your paths (Proverbs 3:5-6).
