[Articles]

We join with you in lifting this first meeting before the Lord with grateful hearts and we rejoice that you desire to place every detail entirely into His hands and to see His perfect will done.

We are encouraged that your heart is set toward marriage and toward a fiancee visa with a view to a lifelong covenant, for that is the godly goal of courtship. We believe marriage is a sacred covenant between a man and a woman for life as God ordained, and any courtship should be pursued with that purpose, between two believers in Christ, with purity and accountability. As it is written, Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity 2 Corinthians 6:14. We encourage you both to seek the Lord together on whether you share that living faith in Jesus Christ and to seek wise counsel from your families and your pastors as you discern this next step.

Because this will be your first time meeting in person and you will be traveling and spending extended time together, we want to lovingly exhort you to guard purity before God. The spark and joy you pray for are beautiful when they grow within holiness, but Scripture calls us to flee sexual immorality and to honor marriage. Flee sexual immorality 1 Corinthians 6:18 and Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the bed be undefiled Hebrews 13:4. We encourage you to make clear boundaries beforehand, to not be alone behind closed doors or sharing lodgings where temptation may arise, to remain in the presence of family or trusted friends as chaperones, and to keep your bodies and hearts as a living sacrifice holy and acceptable to God Romans 12:1. A love that endures is built on Christ first, not only on feelings, though we do pray God will give you grace, mutual understanding and godly affection if it is His will to join you together.

We also hear your desire for every practical detail to align seamlessly with His will, and we surrender those with you. A man's heart plans his course, but Yahweh directs his steps Proverbs 16:9 and Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight Proverbs 3:5-6. We pray you will hold even this cherished meeting with open hands, trusting that if doors open it is by His favor and if they close or shift it is by His protection and wisdom.

We pray together now.

Heavenly Father, in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord we come before Your throne of grace and thank You for Your love that goes before us and dwells within us. We lift up this brother and sister and their plans to meet in November. Lord, we ask that You cover every flight and every car ride with Your protecting hand, that You command Your angels concerning them and keep them in all their ways Psalm 91:11 and that Yahweh will keep your going out and your coming in from this time forward and forevermore Psalm 121:8. We ask for safety, for mercy in weather, and for Your peace to rule over any anxiety about travel Philippians 4:6-7.

Father, touch each heart and mind. Draw them both closer to Jesus first, and if it is Your will, knit their hearts together in genuine enduring love that is patient and kind and rooted in You 1 Corinthians 13:4-7. Let their time together be filled with grace, clear communication, joy and cherished memories that honor You. Give them wisdom beyond emotion and help them to discern Your will above their own desires, for we know You have plans to give them hope and a future Jeremiah 29:11.

Lord, we ask for Your favor over work and provision. Grant the requested leave without hindrance, help every pending task to be completed with excellence, and supply every financial need according to Your riches in glory in Christ Jesus Philippians 4:19. Remove the burden of worry so their focus can remain on what You are doing.

We lift up family and loved ones on both sides. Strengthen this brother's brother as he cares for their mother and for the dogs, keep the mother safe, comforted and at peace, and keep the beloved pets healthy and secure in Your care. Bless the time spent with family and friends, fill those gatherings with warmth, laughter and love, and let Your presence be the center of every conversation. Grant all involved discernment, accountability and godly counsel.

Above all Father, we surrender this relationship to You. Keep them pure, keep them honest before You and before others, and let no fornication or compromise have a place among them, for that is Your will, that they should abstain from sexual immorality 1 Thessalonians 4:3. Lead them toward marriage if that is Your perfect will, and give them courage to wait or to step back if it is not. May Your name be glorified in whatever You ordain.

We thank You that we have access to You only through Jesus, for Jesus said I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me John 14:6. We rest in His finished work and pray all these things in the precious and powerful name of Jesus Christ our Savior. Amen.

We hear how much this November meeting means to you and how carefully you are placing each detail in God's hands. It makes sense that your heart feels both grateful and stretched, with travel, work, family and finances all weighing at once.

First meetings bring a lot of expectation, and it helps to keep both hope and clarity together. As you prepare, it can steady things to keep trusted family or friends close in the planning, talk openly about expectations and boundaries for your time together, and give yourselves space to listen well and learn about each other without pressure to decide everything in one visit. For the practical side, confirming leave and travel documents early and making a simple budget together can ease some of the worry you mentioned.

We are joining you in prayer for what you named most, that your steps would be guided by wisdom and peace, and that everyone you love at home would be cared for while you are away.

Father, we ask for Your protection over each part of travel and for calm weather and safe journeys. Grant favor and clarity with work, provide for what is needed, and watch over family and loved ones at home, bringing comfort and peace in the days apart. Lead both of you with wisdom and grace as you seek Your will. In Jesus' name, amen.

 

[Spurgeon]

It is well that you bring your plans before the Lord, for as surely as God's will is the axle of the universe, so all things are under regulation and have an appointed place in His plan, and nothing happens but what He permits or ordains. To spread the details of a journey and a meeting before Him is right, yet it must be done with a humble heart that says, if the Lord wills, we shall live and do this or that.

You have spoken of what you will do in November, of travels and meetings and a petition for a future visa, and of a love and a spark that you desire to be stirred between you. Hear the word which cautions us, they said we will go, we will continue, we will buy, we will sell, we will get gain. But is it not foolish for a man to feel that he can do as he likes and that everything will fall out as he desires, that he can both propose and dispose and has not to ask God's consent at all. Knowing that all things are in His hands, we will not always say with the lips, if the Lord wills, yet we will always feel it in the heart.

There is a revealed will which we must not violate, while many of His purposes are hidden from us. The revealed will of God concerning love between a man and a woman is plain. Marriage is the lifelong covenant of one man and one woman, and that alone is the place for the union of bodies and for dwelling together as husband and wife. No good thing will He withhold from them that walk uprightly, but for the ungodly there are no blessed promises of this kind. Therefore the first question for each of you is whether you are indeed among His people through faith in Jesus Christ alone, for salvation is of God's will and rests upon His mercy, and the work of the Spirit is to change the human will and make men willing in the day of God's power. Apart from Christ there is no ground to claim His favor.

So let your two prayers be combined into one, I will, yet not as I will. You may come boldly as children and say, Father, I will, yet in the same breath bow and say, not as I will, but as You will. You can always have your way when your way is God's way. The sure way to carry out self will is when self will is nothing else but God's will. Do not ask the Lord to bless a spark or a plan simply because you desire it. Ask Him to make your desires holy, to keep you pure in thought and deed when you are together, to provide godly oversight and the presence of family and friends for accountability, and to withhold what would harm your souls even if you now think it good.

In that spirit we pray for you. Father, if it be Your will, grant safety in traveling and moderation in weather, grant favor concerning work and provision according to Your wisdom, and keep those who remain at home in Your care. Above all, work in both hearts to will and to do of Your good pleasure. Grant that any love which grows may be genuine, patient, pure and truthful, not seeking its own, and that no step toward marriage be taken except it be clearly in the Lord and agreeable to Your holy Word. If this meeting and any future covenant be not for Your glory and for the good of these souls, turn the steps aside. If it be of You, make it plain and keep both watchful against temptation, that you may be found as those who walk uprightly. We ask this not because we are worthy, but because Christ has shed His blood for sinners, and those who return unto Him He will receive. Let His will be done. Amen.
