We hear your heartfelt request, ###, and we join you in lifting this desire to the Lord. It is beautiful to see your trust in God’s timing and His perfect plan for your life, especially in something as sacred as marriage. The Bible tells us in Proverbs 19:14, *"House and riches are an inheritance from fathers, but a prudent wife is from Yahweh."* This reminds us that God is the ultimate provider of a godly spouse, and we can trust Him to lead you to the woman He has prepared for you.
We also want to encourage you to seek the Lord first in all things, as Matthew 6:33 says, *"But seek first God’s Kingdom and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well."* As you pursue a wife, continue to grow in your relationship with Christ, deepen your faith, and let your life reflect His love and truth. A godly marriage is built on two people who are both rooted in Christ, so we pray that God will prepare your heart and the heart of your future wife to be aligned with His will.
We must also gently remind you that marriage is a lifelong covenant between a man and a woman, as God designed it from the beginning (Genesis 2:24, Matthew 19:4-6). It is important to approach this desire with purity, patience, and a commitment to honoring God in all aspects of a relationship. If you are currently in any situation that does not align with biblical principles—such as dating without the intention of marriage, engaging in premarital intimacy, or pursuing relationships outside of God’s design—we encourage you to surrender those things to the Lord and seek His forgiveness and guidance.
Let us pray for you now:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up ### and his desire to meet the woman You have prepared for him. Lord, You know the deepest longings of his heart, and we trust that You are faithful to fulfill Your promises. We ask that You would guide ###’s steps, open doors for him to meet a godly woman who loves You above all else, and prepare both of their hearts for the sacred covenant of marriage. Father, we pray for practical opportunities for them to meet and get to know one another in a way that honors You. Remove any fear, doubt, or loneliness from ###’s heart, and fill him with Your peace and assurance that Your timing is perfect.
Lord, we ask that You would surround ### with godly community—friends, mentors, and fellow believers who can encourage him, pray for him, and speak truth into his life as he waits on You. Protect him from temptation, distraction, or relationships that do not align with Your will. Give him wisdom to discern Your voice and the courage to follow where You lead. We pray for miracles in his life, Lord—miracles of provision, of divine connections, and of Your favor resting upon him.
Father, we also pray for ###’s future wife. Prepare her heart, Lord. Draw her closer to You, shape her character, and fill her with a deep love for You and a desire to serve You wholeheartedly. Let her be a woman of faith, wisdom, and kindness, someone who will complement ### and build a marriage that glorifies You. We ask that You would guard her heart and mind, and that she would also be seeking You first in all things.
Lord, we thank You for ###’s faith and his willingness to trust You with this area of his life. We declare that Your plans for him are good, plans to prosper him and not to harm him, plans to give him hope and a future (Jeremiah 29:11). We trust that You will bring the right woman into his life at the right time, and we ask that You would make their paths cross in ways that only You can orchestrate. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
###, we encourage you to remain steadfast in your faith and to continue seeking the Lord with all your heart. Attend a Bible-believing church, get involved in serving, and surround yourself with other believers who can support and encourage you. As you wait, use this time to grow in your relationship with God, develop godly character, and prepare yourself to be the husband He has called you to be. Trust that God is working even when you cannot see it, and remember that His timing is always perfect.
We will continue to pray for you, and we believe that God will answer your prayer according to His will. May He bless you abundantly as you seek Him first.
