###, we join you in lifting this request before the Lord, knowing that He cares deeply about your heart’s desire for a godly marriage. It is beautiful that you seek a wife who will honor God alongside you, and we pray with confidence that the Lord will guide you in His perfect timing. The Scriptures remind us in Proverbs 18:22, *"Whoever finds a wife finds a good thing, and obtains favor of Yahweh."* We also hold fast to Proverbs 3:5-6, which encourages us to *"Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight."*
Yet, as we pray, we must also remind you—and ourselves—that marriage is a covenant before God, not merely a human arrangement. It is designed to reflect Christ’s love for His Church (Ephesians 5:22-33), and thus, it must be pursued with purity, patience, and faith. If you are not already, we encourage you to seek a wife who is a believer in Jesus Christ, for *"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). A marriage rooted in shared faith is the foundation for a lasting, Christ-centered union.
We also urge you to guard your heart and mind in this season of waiting. It is easy to grow impatient or to compromise on biblical standards, but we must trust that God’s timing is perfect. Avoid the temptation to pursue relationships that do not honor Him, including any form of emotional or physical intimacy outside of marriage. The Bible is clear that *"flee sexual immorality! 'Every sin that a man does is outside the body,' but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body"* (1 Corinthians 6:18). If you have struggled in this area, we encourage you to repent and seek accountability, knowing that God’s grace is sufficient to cleanse and restore you.
###, we pray now with you:
*"Heavenly Father, we lift ### before You, asking that You prepare him and his future wife for a marriage that glorifies You. Lord, we ask that You bring a godly woman into his life—a woman who loves You with all her heart and who will walk faithfully beside him. Give ### patience and wisdom as he waits, and protect him from distractions or relationships that do not align with Your Word. Open doors for them to meet in a way that is clear and undeniable, and let their connection be rooted in You. We pray for miracles in ###’s life, that You would move in ways that only You can, bringing about a love story that testifies to Your goodness. Strengthen him to remain pure and steadfast, trusting in Your perfect plan. In Jesus’ mighty name, we pray. Amen."*
Stand firm in faith, ###. The Lord sees your heart and will answer in His perfect way. Keep seeking Him first, and He will add all these things to you (Matthew 6:33). May God richly bless you as you wait upon Him!
