We join you in lifting this request before the Lord, knowing that His heart is for His children to walk in godly relationships that bring Him glory. It is beautiful that you seek a wife in prayer, for Scripture reminds us that *"it is not good for man to be alone"* (Genesis 2:18, WEB) and that marriage is a sacred covenant designed by God. We pray earnestly that the Lord would prepare you and the woman He has chosen for you, uniting you both in His perfect timing.
Yet we must also encourage you to examine your heart and motives in this season. Are you actively pursuing holiness and growing in your walk with Christ? A godly marriage is built on two individuals who are first surrendered to the Lordship of Jesus. *"Seek first God’s Kingdom and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well"* (Matthew 6:33, WEB). Before seeking a wife, ensure you are the man God calls you to be—faithful, loving, and spiritually mature. *"Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the assembly, and gave himself up for her"* (Ephesians 5:25, WEB). This kind of love requires selflessness and sacrifice, rooted in Christ.
We also urge you to guard your heart against idolatry—placing the desire for marriage above your devotion to Christ. While it is good to long for a spouse, your ultimate fulfillment must come from Him alone. *"Delight yourself in Yahweh, and he will give you the desires of your heart"* (Psalm 37:4, WEB). Trust that if marriage is His will for you, He will bring it to pass in a way that far exceeds your expectations.
Now, let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we lift up our brother before You, asking that You prepare his heart and the heart of the woman You have chosen for him. Lord, let this union be one that honors You, rooted in faith, love, and mutual submission to Your Word. Remove any impatience, fear, or worldly expectations from his heart, and replace them with trust in Your perfect timing. Open doors for godly connections, and let Your Spirit guide every step. Protect him from distractions, ungodly relationships, or compromises that would dishonor You. If there are areas in his life that need refinement—whether in purity, leadership, or faith—convict him and empower him to walk in obedience.
We rebuke any spirit of loneliness or desperation that may tempt him to settle for less than Your best. Let him wait on You, knowing that *"the one who finds a wife finds a good thing, and obtains favor from Yahweh"* (Proverbs 18:22, WEB). Father, perform miracles in his life—divine appointments, supernatural favor, and clarity in discernment. Let this season of waiting be one of growth, where he draws closer to You and becomes the man You’ve called him to be.
Most of all, Lord, let Your will be done. If marriage is Your plan for him, bring it to pass in a way that magnifies Your name. If there is a season of singleness ahead, grant him contentment and purpose in You. We ask all this in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, who alone is worthy of our trust. Amen.
Stand firm in faith, brother. The Lord hears your prayers, and His plans for you are good. *"Commit your way to Yahweh. Trust also in him, and he will do this: he will bring out your righteousness as the light, and your justice as the noon day sun"* (Psalm 37:5-6, WEB). Keep seeking Him first, and He will guide your steps.
