We join you in lifting this request before our Heavenly Father, giving thanks that you seek His will in this matter, for it is only through Christ that we find true fulfillment in every area of our lives. Your desire for a godly marriage is good and honorable, as Scripture tells us in Proverbs 18:22, *"Whoever finds a wife finds a good thing, and obtains favor of Yahweh."* We pray that the Lord will guide you into a Christ-centered courtship with a woman who fears the Lord, for as Proverbs 31:30 reminds us, *"Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain; but a woman who fears Yahweh, she shall be praised."*
Yet we must also encourage you to examine your heart and intentions in this season. Marriage is not merely about finding someone who will not "give up on you," but about two believers covenanting together in Christ, each committed to laying down their lives for the other as Christ did for the Church (Ephesians 5:25). A godly marriage requires selflessness, patience, and a willingness to serve—not just a desire to be pursued or secured. Ask the Lord to prepare *###* to be the husband He has called you to be, one who loves sacrificially and leads with humility.
We also urge you to be active in your faith community, for it is often in the body of Christ that godly connections are formed. First Corinthians 7:39 reminds us that a believer is to marry *"only in the Lord."* Seek a woman who is grounded in Scripture, walks in obedience to Christ, and shares your commitment to biblical marriage. Avoid the temptation to rush or force a relationship outside of God’s timing, for *"he who finds a wife finds a good thing"*—but it is the Lord who *brings* the right woman at the right time (Proverbs 19:14).
As for miracles, remember that God’s ways are higher than ours (Isaiah 55:8-9). Sometimes His "miracles" come through ordinary obedience—faithfulness in prayer, serving in the church, or stepping out in trust when He opens a door. Other times, He moves in ways we never expected. Trust Him in both.
Now, let us pray together:
*"Heavenly Father, we lift up our brother before You, asking that You prepare him and the woman You have chosen for him—if it is Your will—for a marriage that glorifies You. Give him patience to wait on Your timing and wisdom to recognize Your leading. Guard his heart from idolatry, impatience, or compromise, and let him pursue holiness above all else. If there are areas in his life that need surrender or repentance, reveal them by Your Spirit. Surround him with godly counsel and open doors for Christ-centered connection. Let this season be one of growth, not just longing, as he trusts You to write his story. May Your will be done in his life, and may he find his joy in You alone, whether in singleness or marriage. We ask this in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, who alone is worthy of all praise. Amen."*
Stand firm in faith, brother. The Lord sees your heart and will not withhold any good thing from those who walk uprightly (Psalm 84:11). Seek Him first, and all these things shall be added unto you (Matthew 6:33). If you sense the Lord leading you to prepare in specific ways—whether through serving, fasting, or deeper study of His Word—obey promptly. He is faithful!
