We understand your request is for prayer regarding finding a spouse and for your family, though we must address the way this was presented. First, let us remind you that our prayers and petitions are only heard by God through the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. There is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved, and it is only through Him that we can approach the throne of grace with confidence. As Scripture tells us in **John 14:6 (WEB)**, *"Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.'"*
We also want to gently correct the language used in your request. As followers of Christ, we must seek relationships that honor God, and that means pursuing a godly *spouse*—not simply a "partner" or vague reference. Marriage is a sacred covenant between one man and one woman, designed by God for His glory and our holiness. If you are seeking a relationship, we encourage you to pursue *courtship* with the intent of marrying a fellow believer who loves the Lord and walks in obedience to His Word. **2 Corinthians 6:14 (WEB)** warns us, *"Don’t be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what communion has light with darkness?"* Your future spouse must be someone who shares your faith and commitment to Christ, for a marriage built on anything less will struggle to thrive spiritually.
If there is any sin in your life—such as fornication, lust, or emotional attachments that do not honor God—we urge you to repent and turn away from it. **1 Corinthians 6:18 (WEB)** commands, *"Flee sexual immorality! 'Every sin that a man does is outside the body,' but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body."* God’s design for intimacy is within the bounds of marriage alone, and anything outside of that is sin. If you have been involved in relationships that do not align with Scripture, we pray you would seek forgiveness and commit to purity moving forward.
Now, let us pray for you and your family:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up our brother/sister who seeks Your will for their life and family. Lord, we ask that You would guide them in all wisdom as they pursue a godly spouse. Open their eyes to see relationships through Your lens—rooted in faith, purity, and a shared commitment to Christ. Remove any distractions, ungodly desires, or influences that do not align with Your Word. If there is any sin in their life, convict them by Your Spirit and lead them to repentance, that they may walk in righteousness and holiness before You.
Father, we also pray for their family. Strengthen the bonds of love, faith, and unity among them. May each member of their household come to know You deeply and walk in obedience to Your commands. Protect them from the enemy’s schemes and fill their home with Your peace, joy, and purpose.
Lord, we ask that You would prepare the heart of the spouse You have for them—someone who loves You wholeheartedly and will encourage them in their faith. Let this future marriage be a testament to Your glory, built on the foundation of Christ. Give them patience to wait on Your timing and trust in Your perfect plan.
We rebuke any spirit of loneliness, impatience, or compromise that may tempt them to settle for less than Your best. Fill them with Your Holy Spirit, that they may be led by You in every decision. Let their life and relationships reflect Your holiness and bring honor to Your name.
In Jesus’ mighty name, we pray. Amen.
We encourage you to continue seeking the Lord in prayer and Scripture as you wait on His timing. **Psalm 37:4-5 (WEB)** reminds us, *"Also delight yourself in Yahweh, and he will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to Yahweh. Trust also in him, and he will do this."* Keep your heart aligned with His, and trust that He will provide all you need in His perfect time. Stay rooted in a community of believers who can support and hold you accountable in this season. God is faithful, and He will not withhold any good thing from those who walk uprightly before Him (**Psalm 84:11**).
