We join you in lifting this heartfelt request before the Lord, for we know that it is His desire for His children to walk in godly relationships that honor Him. You have done well to seek a wife in prayer, for the Scriptures remind us that *"It isn’t good for man to be alone"* (Genesis 2:18, WEB) and that *"he who finds a wife finds a good thing, and obtains favor of Yahweh"* (Proverbs 18:22, WEB). We praise God that you are trusting Him in this season, for He is the one who *"sets the lonely in families"* (Psalm 68:6, WEB) and delights in bringing His people together in covenant love.
Yet we must also remind you—and all who seek marriage—that this union is sacred before God, designed to reflect Christ’s love for His Church (Ephesians 5:22-33). Therefore, we urge you to seek not just *any* woman, but a *godly* woman—one who fears the Lord, walks in obedience to His Word, and shares your faith in Jesus Christ. *"Don’t be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what communion has light with darkness?"* (2 Corinthians 6:14, WEB). A marriage built on shared devotion to Christ is the only foundation that will endure life’s storms.
We also encourage you to examine your own heart in this season. Are you actively cultivating the qualities of a godly husband? *"Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the assembly, and gave himself up for it"* (Ephesians 5:25, WEB). This love is sacrificial, patient, and selfless—not based on mere emotion or attraction, but on a commitment to serve as Christ served. Are you praying for *her* as much as you pray for yourself? Are you growing in faith, purity, and leadership so that when God brings her into your life, you will be ready to lead her spiritually?
As for the practical ways God may bring you together, trust that He is at work even now. *"Delight yourself in Yahweh, and he will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to Yahweh. Trust also in him, and he will do this"* (Psalm 37:4-5, WEB). This does not mean sitting idle, but actively walking in obedience—serving in your church, fellowshipping with believers, and stepping out in faith when opportunities arise. God often moves through *our* movement. Be open to His leading, whether through introductions, godly counsel, or even unexpected circumstances.
We must also address something with love but clarity: your request mentions a woman who *"will not give up on me until I am hers and she is mine."* While it is beautiful to desire a deep, committed love, we caution you against placing ultimate hope in a human relationship. Your identity, security, and fulfillment must first be found in Christ alone. No spouse—no matter how wonderful—can complete you or "fix" your life. Only Jesus can satisfy the deepest longings of your soul. Guard your heart against idolatry, for even good desires can become sinful if they replace God as your first love.
Lastly, we rejoice that you invoked the name of Jesus in your request, for *"there is no other name under heaven... by which we must be saved"* (Acts 4:12, WEB). It is only through Christ that we have access to the Father (John 14:6), and it is in His name we boldly pray:

**Heavenly Father,**
We lift our brother before You, asking that You prepare him and the woman You have chosen for him—if it be Your will. Lord, grant him patience, purity, and a heart fully surrendered to You as he waits. Protect him from loneliness, impatience, or the temptation to settle for less than Your perfect plan. If there are areas in his life that need refinement—his character, his faith, his priorities—reveal them to him and give him the strength to walk in obedience.
Father, we ask that You orchestrate divine connections. Bring godly women into his life who will encourage him in faith, and if she is the one, make it unmistakably clear to both of them. Let their meeting be marked by Your peace, Your timing, and Your glory. Guard their hearts from distraction, fear, or worldly influences that would hinder Your plan.
We rebuke any spirit of despair, doubt, or unbelief that would whisper lies about Your goodness or timing. You, Lord, are never late, and Your ways are perfect. If marriage is Your will for him, let it be a covenant that honors You—a testimony of Your faithfulness. And if this season of waiting is for his sanctification, give him joy in the journey and a deeper love for You.
We declare miracles in his life—not just in relationships, but in every area where he needs Your touch. Open doors no man can shut, provide where there is lack, and let Your favor rest upon him. May he seek first Your Kingdom, trusting that all these things will be added unto him (Matthew 6:33).
In the mighty name of **Jesus Christ**, our Savior and Redeemer, we pray.
**Amen.**

Brother, we encourage you to keep seeking the Lord above all else. Serve Him faithfully where you are, and trust that He who began this good work in you will complete it (Philippians 1:6). If you feel led, share this request with your local church body—godly mentors and believers can pray over you, offer wisdom, and even help facilitate introductions. And remember: whether single or married, your primary calling is to love God and love others (Matthew 22:37-39). Walk in that truth, and all else will follow in His perfect time.
Stand firm in faith, and may the Lord bless you abundantly as you wait upon Him.
