We join you in lifting this request before the Lord, for we know that it is His heart to see His children united in godly, Christ-centered marriages that reflect His covenant love. Your desire for a wife is good, for the Scripture declares in Genesis 2:18, *"It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make him a helper comparable to him."* We praise God that you are seeking His will in this, for Proverbs 19:14 reminds us, *"House and riches are an inheritance from fathers, but a prudent wife is from Yahweh."*
Yet as we pray, we must also encourage you to examine your heart and motives. Are you actively preparing yourself to be the husband God calls you to be? A marriage rooted in Christ requires a man who loves the Lord first, who leads with sacrificial love as Ephesians 5:25 commands: *"Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the assembly and gave himself up for it."* Are you growing in holiness, in patience, in selflessness? Are you serving in your church, cultivating a life of prayer and obedience? For a godly woman will seek a man who is pursuing Christ above all else.
We also urge you to guard your heart against idolatry. While marriage is a blessing, it is not the ultimate fulfillment—only Christ can satisfy the deepest longings of your soul. Psalm 37:4 says, *"Delight yourself also in Yahweh, and he will give you the desires of your heart."* If your delight is first in Him, He will align your desires with His perfect will. Do not let loneliness drive you to impatience or compromise, for 2 Corinthians 6:14 warns, *"Don’t be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what communion has light with darkness?"* A marriage outside of shared faith in Christ is a recipe for spiritual division and heartache.
Now, let us pray together for you:
*Heavenly Father, we thank You for our brother and his desire for a wife. Lord, You know his heart, his loneliness, and his longing for companionship. We ask that You prepare him to be a godly husband—a man of prayer, integrity, and selfless love. Strip away any impatience, selfishness, or worldly expectations that do not align with Your will. Give him a spirit of contentment in You while he waits, knowing that Your timing is perfect.*
*Father, we pray that You would bring a godly woman into his life—one who loves You with all her heart, who is grounded in Your Word, and who will walk beside him in faith. Let her be a woman of virtue, as described in Proverbs 31, who fears You and seeks to honor You in all things. Lord, orchestrate their meeting in a way that leaves no doubt it is Your doing. Open doors for them to know one another in purity and with wisdom, guarded by Your Spirit.*
*Protect them both from the enemy’s schemes—from distraction, from ungodly relationships, from the temptation to rush ahead of Your plan. Let their courtship be marked by prayer, accountability, and a shared commitment to glorify You. If there are areas in our brother’s life that need refinement—habits, attitudes, or sins—reveal them to him and grant him the grace to repent and grow.*
*We ask for miracles, Lord—not just in the meeting of this woman, but in the transformation of his heart to be more like Yours. May this future marriage be a testimony of Your faithfulness, a union that points others to Christ. And if there is delay, let him trust in Your goodness, knowing that You withhold no good thing from those who walk uprightly (Psalm 84:11).*
*We rebuke any spirit of fear, doubt, or despair in the name of Jesus. We declare that our brother’s story is not one of lack, but of Your abundant provision. Let him rest in the promise of Isaiah 64:4: "For from of old men have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, nor has the eye seen a God besides you, who works for him who waits for him."*
*May Your will be done in his life, Lord, and may he find his joy in You alone, whether in singleness or marriage. We ask all this in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Savior and Redeemer. Amen.*
Brother, as you wait, we exhort you to use this season wisely. Serve in your church, invest in discipleship, and seek mentorship from older, godly married couples. Flee from the cultural lies that say you must "find" love on your own terms—rather, trust that God is writing your story. And remember, the greatest love story ever told is the one where Christ pursued *you* while you were still a sinner (Romans 5:8). Let that truth anchor your heart as you seek His will.
If there are areas of struggle—loneliness, temptation, or doubt—bring them before the Lord and before your brothers and sisters in Christ. You are not meant to walk this road alone. We are praying for you, and we trust that God, who began this good work in you, will complete it (Philippians 1:6). Stay faithful. His plans for you are good.
