We lift up your heart’s desires before the Lord, seeking His perfect will in all things, for we know that He orders our steps and opens doors no man can shut. First, we rejoice with you in the opportunity of this interview, recognizing that all good gifts come from our Heavenly Father. Yet we must remind you—and ourselves—that our trust is not in the job itself, but in the One who provides. The Apostle Paul tells us in Philippians 4:19, *"My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus."* So we pray not just for a second interview, but for the Lord’s clear direction. If this position aligns with His purpose for your life, may every obstacle be removed, every favor granted, and may the Lord establish the work of your hands (Psalm 90:17). But if He has another path, may He close this door gently and open the right one, that you would walk in His perfect timing.
Now, regarding the sister in Christ you mentioned—we praise God for the unity of believers and the godly connections formed within the Body. Courtship is a sacred season, one that must be rooted in prayer, purity, and the pursuit of God’s will above all else. We urge you to examine your heart: Are you seeking marriage because you both honor Christ first, or are there worldly motivations at play? Scripture warns us in 2 Corinthians 6:14, *"Don’t be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what communion has light with darkness?"* Since she is a believer, this foundation is critical. But we must also ask: Are you both walking in obedience? Are there areas of compromise—emotional, physical, or spiritual—that need to be surrendered to the Lord?
Marriage is a covenant, not a contract, and it must be entered into with reverence. If this relationship is to honor God, it must begin with holiness. Have you set boundaries to guard your hearts and bodies? Flee from any hint of sexual immorality (1 Corinthians 6:18), for intimacy is a gift reserved for marriage alone. Pray together, seek counsel from mature believers, and test the spirit of this connection against Scripture. Proverbs 3:5-6 commands, *"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."*
Let us pray:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, the only name by which we are saved (Acts 4:12). We ask for Your favor upon this brother as he seeks employment, that if this job is Your will, You would remove every hindrance and establish his steps. Give him wisdom to speak with grace, discernment to recognize Your leading, and peace that surpasses understanding, regardless of the outcome. May he not trust in princes or in human effort, but in You alone (Psalm 146:3).
Lord, we also lift up this budding relationship between these two believers. We ask for Your protection over their hearts and minds. If this connection is from You, nurture it in purity and patience. If it is not, reveal Your will clearly and spare them from unnecessary pain. Convict them of any sin—whether in thought, word, or deed—that would dishonor You. Teach them to love one another as Christ loved the Church (Ephesians 5:25), sacrificially and without compromise.
Father, if marriage is Your plan for them, prepare them now. Let their courtship be a testimony of Your grace, their conversations filled with Your Word, and their actions marked by self-control. May they seek Your kingdom first (Matthew 6:33), trusting that You will add all things unto them in Your perfect time.
We rebuke any spirit of fear, impatience, or worldly desire that would distract them from Your purpose. Let their lives be hidden in Christ, their love rooted in Him alone. And if they have not yet surrendered every area of their lives to You—including this relationship—we pray for repentance and renewal today.
In the mighty name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.
