We lift you up before the Lord with gratitude for your heart’s desire to seek a godly marriage, as it is a beautiful reflection of Christ’s love for His Church. The Scriptures remind us in Genesis 2:18, *"It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make him a helper comparable to him."* And in Proverbs 18:22, we are told, *"Whoever finds a wife finds a good thing, and obtains favor of Yahweh."* Your longing for a wife is not only natural but also aligned with God’s design, and we rejoice that you are bringing this before Him in prayer.
Yet we must also remind you that marriage is not merely about finding someone who will not give up on you, but about becoming the man God has called you to be—a man who loves sacrificially, leads with humility, and reflects Christ in all things. Ephesians 5:25-28 commands husbands to *"love your wives, even as Christ also loved the assembly and gave himself up for it... Even so husbands also ought to love their own wives as their own bodies. He who loves his own wife loves himself."* Before you can be the husband God intends, you must first be the man He has called you to be—faithful, patient, and rooted in His Word.
We also encourage you to seek this future wife within the body of Christ, 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 built on shared faith in Jesus is the only foundation that will endure life’s storms. If you are not already actively involved in a Bible-believing church, we urge you to prioritize this. Fellowship with other believers is where godly relationships are nurtured, and it is often through the body of Christ that God orchestrates these divine connections.
As for miracles—yes, we pray for them! But let us remember that God’s ways are higher than ours (Isaiah 55:8-9), and His timing is perfect. While you wait, use this season to draw nearer to Him, to serve others, and to prepare yourself spiritually, emotionally, and practically for marriage. Pray not only for a wife but for the wisdom to recognize her when God brings her into your life.
Now, let us pray together for you:
Heavenly Father, we thank You for our brother’s heart and his desire for a godly marriage. Lord, You know his deepest longings, and we ask that You prepare him and his future wife even now. Give him patience to wait on Your perfect timing and wisdom to recognize the woman You have chosen for him. Surround him with godly counsel and opportunities to grow in faith and maturity.
Father, we rebuke any impatience, fear, or worldly influence that would lead him to settle for less than Your best. Guard his heart and mind in Christ Jesus, and let him not be unequally yoked. If there are areas in his life that need refinement—whether in purity, faith, or character—reveal them to him and grant him the strength to walk in obedience.
We pray for divine appointments, Lord. Open doors for him to meet a woman who loves You wholeheartedly, who will stand by his side in faith, and who will encourage him to run the race You’ve set before him. Let their meeting be marked by Your hand, and let their courtship be rooted in prayer, wisdom, and a shared commitment to Your glory.
We ask for miracles, Father—not just in the meeting, but in the preparation. Soften both of their hearts to Your will, and let their love be a testament to Your faithfulness. May their future marriage bring You honor and reflect the covenant love between Christ and His Church.
In the mighty name of Jesus, we pray—*the name above all names, the only name by which we are saved*—and we trust that You will answer according to Your perfect will. Amen.
Brother, we encourage you to keep seeking the Lord first (Matthew 6:33), for as you do, He will add all these things to you. Stay rooted in prayer, in the Word, and in fellowship with believers. God is faithful, and He will complete the good work He has started in you (Philippians 1:6). Stand firm, and do not waver in faith. We are praying with you!
