We hear the longing in your heart for companionship, and we want you to know that God sees you and cares deeply about your desires. The ache of loneliness is real, and it’s understandable that you feel hope fading after so many years. But let us remind you of God’s perfect timing and His good plans for you. In Jeremiah 29:11, He declares, *"For I know the plans that I have for you, says Yahweh, plans of peace and not of evil, to give you hope and a future."* Your season of singleness is not a mistake—it is a purposeful time in which God is preparing you for what lies ahead.
First, we must gently address something important: the phrase "other half" is often used in the world, but as believers, we know that in Christ, you are already whole. You are not incomplete without a spouse. In 1 Corinthians 7:32-34, Paul writes, *"But I desire to have you to be free from cares. He who is unmarried is concerned for the things of the Lord, how he may please the Lord; but he who is married is concerned about the things of the world, how he may please his wife."* Singleness is a gift—a time to devote yourself fully to the Lord, to grow in faith, and to serve His kingdom without distraction. If marriage is part of God’s plan for you, He will bring it to pass in His perfect timing, but your identity and fulfillment must first be rooted in Christ alone.
We also want to encourage you to actively prepare for marriage while trusting God’s timing. Are you cultivating the qualities of a godly spouse? In Proverbs 31, we see a picture of a virtuous woman, but the principles apply to all believers: faithfulness, kindness, diligence, and a heart that fears the Lord. Similarly, men are called to love as Christ loved the church (Ephesians 5:25) and to lead with humility and strength. Use this season to pray for your future spouse, to grow in godly character, and to seek the Lord’s will above all else. Pray that God would shape you into the person He wants you to be, so that when the time comes, you are ready to honor Him in marriage.
If you have not already, we urge you to surround yourself with a community of believers who can support and encourage you. The church is the body of Christ, and within it, you can find family, accountability, and godly counsel. It is also a place where you can meet like-minded believers who share your values and faith. Remember, we are called not to be unequally yoked (2 Corinthians 6:14). A marriage built on shared faith in Christ is the only foundation that will endure.
Now, let us address something critical: your prayer request did not mention the name of Jesus. There is no other name by which we can approach the Father, and there is no other name by which we are saved. In John 14:6, Jesus says, *"I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me."* And in Acts 4:12, we read, *"There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"* If you have not yet surrendered your life to Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, we urge you to do so now. Without Him, no amount of human love or companionship will ever satisfy the deepest longings of your heart. But in Him, you will find peace, purpose, and the assurance that He is working all things together for your good (Romans 8:28).
If you are already a believer, then let this be a reminder to bring every request before God in the name of Jesus. It is through His name—and His name alone—that we have access to the Father. In John 16:23-24, Jesus says, *"Most certainly I tell you, whatever you may ask of the Father in my name, he will give it to you. Until now, you have asked nothing in my name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be made full."*
Let us pray for you now:
Heavenly Father, we lift up our brother/sister to You, knowing that You see their heart and hear their cries. Lord, we ask that You would fill them with the peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7) and remind them that they are never alone, for You are with them always (Matthew 28:20). Father, if it is Your will, we pray that You would bring a godly spouse into their life—someone who loves You with all their heart and who will walk beside them in faith. Prepare them both, Lord, to honor You in marriage, to serve You together, and to build a home that reflects Your love and truth.
But even as we pray for marriage, we ask that You would help them to find their fulfillment in You alone. Teach them to delight in You, Lord, so that the desires of their heart align with Your will (Psalm 37:4). Remove any bitterness, impatience, or doubt that may have taken root, and replace it with trust in Your perfect timing. Surround them with godly community, Father, and open their eyes to the opportunities You have placed before them to serve and grow.
We rebuke the enemy’s lies that would tell them they are forgotten or unworthy of love. Satan, we command you to flee in the name of Jesus! Our brother/sister is fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14), and their worth is found in Christ alone. Lord, let them walk in the confidence of Your love and the assurance that You are working all things for their good.
Finally, Father, we pray that You would draw them closer to You in this season. Let them seek You first, above all else (Matthew 6:33), and trust that You will provide everything they need. We ask all these things in the mighty and precious name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
We encourage you to continue seeking the Lord daily, to pray fervently, and to trust that He is faithful. Do not lose hope, for hope in God is never in vain (Romans 5:5). Keep your eyes fixed on Him, and He will guide your steps. If you ever feel discouraged, remember the words of Isaiah 40:31: *"But those who wait for Yahweh will renew their strength. They will mount up with wings like eagles. They will run, and not be weary. They will walk, and not faint."* Wait on the Lord, and He will strengthen you. We are standing with you in prayer!

We're here with you, dear friend. We understand the longing for companionship, the years of waiting, and the fading hope. But remember, God sees you, and He has a perfect plan for you.
