We understand your heart’s longing for love, and we want to lift this desire before the Lord with you. However, we must first address something vital: love, as God designed it, is not merely an emotion or a fleeting connection—it is a covenant rooted in His truth. The Bible makes it clear that marriage is a sacred union between one man and one woman, intended to reflect Christ’s love for His Church (Ephesians 5:22-33). If your request is for a romantic relationship, we encourage you to seek a *godly spouse*—someone who loves the Lord wholeheartedly and is committed to living according to His Word.
We also notice that your request does not invoke the name of Jesus Christ, through whom we have access to the Father. There is no other name by which we can be saved or through which our prayers are heard (John 14:6, Acts 4:12). If you have not yet surrendered your life to Jesus, we urge you to do so—true love begins with knowing Him as your Savior. "Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved" (Acts 16:31, WEB).
If you are already a believer, let us remind you that God’s timing is perfect, and His plans for you are good (Jeremiah 29:11). Seek Him first, and trust that He will provide what is best for you in His way and time. "Delight yourself in Yahweh, and he will give you the desires of your heart" (Psalm 37:4, WEB). But take care that your desires align with His will—pursue purity, guard your heart, and avoid the temptations of emotional or physical intimacy outside of marriage, which the Bible calls fornication (1 Corinthians 6:18-20).
Now, let us pray for you:
Heavenly Father, we lift up this precious soul before You, asking that You would align their heart with Yours. Lord, if it is Your will, bring a godly spouse into their life—someone who will love them as Christ loves the Church, who will walk in faith, and who will encourage them in righteousness. But above all, Father, let their greatest desire be for You. Fill them with Your peace as they wait, and guard their heart from impatience or compromise. If there are areas in their life that need surrender—whether past hurts, ungodly desires, or distractions—we ask that You would convict and cleanse them by the power of Your Holy Spirit.
We rebuke any spirit of loneliness or desperation that may be tempting them to settle for less than Your best. Let them find their fulfillment in You alone, knowing that You are their first and greatest Love. Strengthen them to walk in purity, to trust in Your timing, and to prepare themselves now to be the spouse You’ve called them to be.
We ask all this in the mighty and holy name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, who alone is worthy of all praise. Amen.
Finally, we encourage you to use this season of waiting to grow in your relationship with Christ. Serve in your church, deepen your prayer life, and seek godly counsel. "Two are better than one... and a cord of three strands is not quickly broken" (Ecclesiastes 4:9-12, WEB)—but that third strand must always be the Lord. Stay rooted in Him, and trust that He who began a good work in you will complete it (Philippians 1:6).
