We hear your heart’s longing, and we lift this desire before the Lord with great compassion. It is beautiful to seek a wife who honors God and to trust Him for a marriage that reflects His design. The Scriptures remind us, *"Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart"* (Psalm 37:4 WEB). This promise is not about selfish ambition but about aligning our hearts with His will, trusting that He knows the plans He has for us—plans for hope and a future (Jeremiah 29:11 WEB).
We pray that God would prepare your heart and the heart of the woman He has for you. May she be a woman of faith, wisdom, and godly character, as described in Proverbs 31:10-12: *"Who can find a worthy woman? For her price is far above rubies. The heart of her husband trusts in her. He shall have no lack of gain. She does him good, and not harm, all the days of her life."* Father, we ask that You would cultivate in her a deep love for You and a desire to walk in Your ways, so that she may be a suitable helper for Your son (Genesis 2:18 WEB).
Lord, we also pray for practical opportunities for you both to meet in ways that honor You. Open doors for godly connections—through church, Christian communities, or circumstances that You orchestrate. Remove any fear, doubt, or past hurts that may hinder this process, and replace them with faith and expectancy. *"For I know the thoughts that I think toward you," says the Lord, "thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you hope and a future"* (Jeremiah 29:11 WEB). May you both recognize one another as gifts from God, and may your courtship be marked by purity, patience, and a shared commitment to Christ.
We rebuke any spirit of loneliness or impatience that may try to distract you from God’s timing. Remember, *"He who finds a wife finds a good thing, and obtains favor from the Lord"* (Proverbs 18:22 WEB). This is not just about finding *a* wife but the *right* wife—one who will walk with you in faith, love, and mutual submission under Christ. Guard your heart against settling for anything less than God’s best, and trust that He is working even when you cannot see it.
We also encourage you to examine your own heart and life. Are you preparing yourself to be the husband God calls you to be? Are you growing in your relationship with Christ, in godly character, and in your ability to love sacrificially, as Christ loved the church (Ephesians 5:25 WEB)? A strong marriage is built on two individuals who are first devoted to the Lord. Seek Him above all else, and He will guide your steps.
Finally, we pray that your future marriage would be a testimony to God’s faithfulness and love. May it be a union that brings glory to Him, strengthens your faith, and serves as a light to others. *"Unless the Lord builds the house, they labor in vain who build it"* (Psalm 127:1 WEB). We ask all these things in the mighty name of Jesus, for it is only through Him that we have access to the Father and the power to live according to His will.
Heavenly Father, we thank You for Your goodness and Your perfect timing. We trust You to write this love story in Your way and in Your time. May Your will be done in every detail, and may Your name be praised through it all. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
