We join you in lifting this request before the Lord, for we know that it is His perfect will to bring godly spouses together in marriage for His glory. Your heart’s desire for a wife is good, for the Scriptures tell us 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 marriage is a sacred covenant ordained by Him, and we must pursue it with wisdom, patience, and trust in His timing.
Yet we must also remind you, brother, that the foundation of any godly relationship is first a deep, personal walk with Christ. Before seeking a wife, we must ensure we are walking in obedience to Him, for how can two walk together unless they are in agreement with God? (Amos 3:3). Are you actively growing in your faith, serving in your local church, and living in purity before the Lord? A godly marriage begins with a man who is fully surrendered to Christ, for a wife is a gift to a man who fears the Lord (Proverbs 19:14).
We also urge you to guard your heart against idolatry—placing the desire for marriage above your devotion to Christ. Jesus must remain your first love (Revelation 2:4). While it is right to long for a spouse, we must never allow that longing to become an obsession or a source of discontentment. Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will direct your paths (Proverbs 3:5-6).
Now, let us pray together for you:
*"Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus, lifting up our brother who earnestly seeks a wife after Your own heart. Lord, You know his deepest longings, and we ask that You prepare him and the woman You have chosen for him. Grant him patience, Father, that he may wait on Your perfect timing, for Your ways are higher than our ways (Isaiah 55:9). Remove any impatience, fear, or worldly expectations from his heart, and fill him with Your peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7).
Father, we pray that You would bring a godly woman into his life—one who loves You with all her heart, who is rooted in Your Word, and who will walk beside him in faith and obedience. Let her be a woman of virtue, as described in Proverbs 31, who fears You and delights in Your commandments. Lord, orchestrate divine appointments where they may meet in a way that honors You. Open doors for genuine connection, and let their hearts be knit together in purity and mutual respect.
Protect them both from the snares of the enemy, who seeks to distort Your design for marriage. Keep them from the temptations of fornication, emotional compromise, or unequally yoked relationships (2 Corinthians 6:14). Let their courtship be marked by holiness, wisdom, and a shared commitment to glorify You in all things.
We ask for miracles in his life, Father—not just in this area, but in every area where he needs Your touch. Strengthen his faith, provide for his needs, and let him be a light for You wherever You have placed him. May he find his joy and fulfillment in You alone, even as he waits.
Finally, Lord, we rebuke any spirit of loneliness, despair, or impatience that may try to take root in his heart. Fill him with Your love, and let him rest in the truth that You are working all things together for his good (Romans 8:28).
We ask all this in the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen."*
Brother, we encourage you to remain steadfast in prayer, but also to be proactive in godly ways. Are you involved in a Bible-believing church where you can meet like-minded believers? Are you serving in ministry, growing in your gifts, and allowing God to shape your character? A godly wife will be drawn to a man who is pursuing Christ wholeheartedly.
We also urge you to examine your own heart: Are you the kind of man a godly woman would want to marry? Are you walking in integrity, kindness, and leadership as Christ calls men to do? (Ephesians 5:25-33). Seek the Lord’s refinement in your life, for marriage is not about finding someone to complete you, but about two whole people coming together to serve God more effectively.
Lastly, we remind you that if you have not yet surrendered your life fully to Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, no amount of earthly relationships will satisfy the deepest longings of your soul. True peace and fulfillment are found only in Him. If you have not yet repented of your sins and placed your faith in Jesus alone for salvation, we urge you to do so today. *"If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved"* (Romans 10:9).
We will continue to pray for you, brother. Trust in the Lord, and do not grow weary in waiting. His plans for you are good.
