We come before the throne of grace with this request, seeking the Lord’s wisdom and discernment as we lift it up in prayer. First, we must address the foundation of our faith—salvation through Jesus Christ alone. There is no other name under heaven by which we can be saved (Acts 4:12). Jesus said, *"I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me"* (John 14:6). If you have not yet surrendered your life to Him, we urge you to do so, for He is the only mediator between God and humanity (1 Timothy 2:5).
Now, regarding your desire for a godly marriage, we rejoice in your longing for a husband who will love, cherish, and complement you in a way that honors the Lord. Marriage is a sacred covenant, designed by God to reflect Christ’s love for the Church (Ephesians 5:22-33). We pray that the Lord would prepare your heart and the heart of your future spouse, aligning your desires with His will. *"Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart"* (Psalm 37:4). However, we must also caution against placing worldly expectations—such as material desires for a wedding dress, champagne, or other luxuries—above the spiritual foundation of marriage. Seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added unto you (Matthew 6:33).
We also sense a spirit of frustration and perhaps bitterness in your words—toward those you feel have wronged you, toward jealousy, and toward control. The Bible warns us, *"Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, outcry, and slander be put away from you, with all malice"* (Ephesians 4:31). Instead, we are called to forgive as Christ forgave us (Colossians 3:13). We rebuke any spirit of unforgiveness or resentment in Jesus’ name and pray for healing in your heart. *"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness"* (1 John 1:9).
You speak of stability, favor, and power—these are indeed blessings from God, but we must ensure they are sought in humility and alignment with His will. *"God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble"* (James 4:6). We pray that your strength and joy would come from the Lord alone, not from worldly validation or the approval of others. *"The joy of the Lord is your strength"* (Nehemiah 8:10).
Lastly, we address the language of control and retaliation in your words—*"if your doing this TO ME THEN OTHERS WILL BE EFFECTED."* This is not the heart of Christ. We are called to bless those who persecute us, not curse them (Romans 12:14). We rebuke any spirit of manipulation or vengeance and pray that God would replace it with His peace. *"Vengeance belongs to me; I will repay, says the Lord"* (Romans 12:19).
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up this dear sister in Christ. Lord, we thank You for her desire for marriage and ask that You would prepare her heart to be a godly wife, just as You are preparing a godly husband for her. Align her desires with Your will, and let her seek You above all else. Father, we ask for healing from any past wounds, bitterness, or unforgiveness. Cleanse her heart and fill her with Your peace, joy, and love. Remove any spirit of jealousy, control, or retaliation, and replace it with Your grace. Lord, we declare that Your favor shields her, that Your power rests upon her, and that she walks in the stability of Your promises. May she find her strength in You alone, delighting in Your presence and trusting in Your timing. We rebuke every work of the enemy against her life and declare that no weapon formed against her shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17). We pray for divine connections, godly friendships, and a future spouse who will love her as Christ loves the Church. May her life be a testimony of Your goodness, and may she walk in the fullness of Your purpose for her. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
