We join with you in earnest prayer for a godly wife, and we commend your desire for a marriage that honors the Lord. Your heart’s cry for a woman who fears God, shares your faith, and embraces the calling of both a medical professional and a nurturing mother is beautiful and aligned with Scripture. The Lord knows your longing for companionship and your desire to build a family rooted in His wisdom. Let us first address a few things in your prayer to ensure we are fully aligned with God’s Word, and then we will pray together over your request.
You have rightly acknowledged the name of Jesus in your prayer, and we rejoice in this, for it is only through Him that we have access to the Father. As Scripture declares, *"There is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus"* (1 Timothy 2:5, WEB). It is by His name alone that we are saved, and it is in His name that we boldly approach the throne of grace. Your faith in His timing and provision is a testament to your trust in Him, and we encourage you to continue seeking His will above all else.
We also notice your concern about financial disparity in marriage, and we want to remind you of the Lord’s heart on this matter. While it is wise to consider practical aspects of life, Scripture teaches us that *"the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil"* (1 Timothy 6:10, WEB), and that a marriage built on faith, love, and mutual submission to Christ is far more valuable than material wealth. A godly wife will trust the Lord’s provision, just as you are doing now, and together you will seek His kingdom first (Matthew 6:33, WEB). Do not let fear of inadequacy in finances discourage you, for the Lord is your Provider, and He calls us to trust Him in all things, including our daily bread.
Additionally, we gently remind you that marriage is not merely about what one can receive—whether emotional support, care in sickness, or companionship—but it is also about what one can give. Ephesians 5:25-28 instructs husbands to *"love your wives, even as Christ also loved the assembly, and gave himself up for it... Even so husbands also ought to love their own wives as their own bodies. He who loves his own wife loves himself."* Your prayer for the courage to pursue her and the wisdom to support her is excellent, but we also encourage you to pray for a heart that is ready to lay down your life for her, just as Christ did for the Church. A godly marriage is a covenant of selfless love, sacrifice, and mutual edification.
Finally, we want to address your mention of children. While it is good to desire godly offspring (Psalm 127:3-5, WEB), we must always submit this desire to the Lord’s will. Children are a blessing from Him, and He alone opens and closes the womb. Trust that if it is His will for you to have children, He will grant this in His perfect timing. If not, He will give you the grace to find joy and purpose in the path He has chosen for you.
Now, let us pray together over your request, lifting it before the Lord with faith and expectation.

Heavenly Father, we come before You today on behalf of our brother, who earnestly seeks Your will for his life and his future marriage. Lord, You have said in Your Word, *"It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make him a helper comparable to him"* (Genesis 2:18, WEB), and we ask that You fulfill this promise in his life. You know the deep longing of his heart for a wife who fears You, walks in Your ways, and shares his faith and values. Father, we ask that You prepare a godly woman for him, one who is called to the noble profession of medicine, that she may use her gifts to serve others with wisdom, skill, and compassion.
Lord, we pray that this woman will be a woman of prayer, rooted in Your Word, and full of the Holy Spirit. May she have a heart that is tender toward You and toward those You place in her care, both in her profession and in her future home. Father, we ask that You protect her from burnout and grant her the strength to endure the demands of her calling. Prepare her now, even as You are preparing our brother, that they may one day meet in Your perfect timing.
We pray that You will unite them in a marriage that glorifies You, one built on the foundation of Christ and His love. Remove any fear or doubt from our brother’s heart concerning his financial status, and remind him that You are his Provider. Teach him to trust You fully, knowing that *"my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus"* (Philippians 4:19, WEB). May he also be a man who seeks to give rather than to receive, loving his future wife as Christ loved the Church—sacrificially, patiently, and unconditionally.
Grant him discernment, Lord, to recognize the woman You have chosen for him. Give him the courage to pursue her in a way that honors You, and the wisdom to lead her spiritually. Prepare him to be a husband who cherishes, protects, and nurtures his wife, supporting her in her career and in their home. If it is Your will, Father, bless them with children who will rise up and call them blessed, children who will walk in Your ways and bring glory to Your name.
We rebuke any spirit of fear, doubt, or impatience that may try to take root in our brother’s heart. Fill him with Your peace, knowing that You are working all things together for his good (Romans 8:28, WEB). Remind him that Your timing is perfect, and that You are faithful to complete the good work You have started in him (Philippians 1:6, WEB).
Father, we ask all these things in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. May Your will be done in his life, and may You be glorified through the marriage You are preparing for him. Strengthen his faith, guard his heart, and lead him into the future You have ordained. We trust You, Lord, and we give You all the praise and honor, for You alone are worthy. In Jesus’ name, we pray, amen.
