[Articles]

We lift up this request for the church discipleship program with hearts full of hope and expectation, trusting in the Lord’s perfect plan for growth, guidance, and godly relationships. Father, we thank You for the desire to grow in faith and for the hunger to walk more closely with You. Discipleship is a sacred journey, one that shapes not only our spiritual lives but also our earthly relationships—especially when pursued with purity and purpose.

Lord, we pray that this discipleship program would be a place where Your Word is taught in truth and power, where hearts are convicted, and where lives are transformed by the renewing of the mind. May it be a fertile ground for believers to deepen their understanding of Scripture, to cultivate spiritual disciplines, and to walk in obedience to Your will. We ask that You raise up godly mentors—men and women of integrity, wisdom, and love—who will guide others with humility and grace.

We also recognize the desire for marriage expressed in this request, and we pray that it would be rooted in a longing to honor You above all else. Father, we rebuke any impure motives or worldly expectations that may seek to influence this pursuit. Marriage is a sacred covenant, designed by You to reflect the relationship between Christ and His Church. We pray that this discipleship program would not be treated as a means to an end—such as finding a wife—but rather as a place where godly character is formed, where hearts are prepared for the responsibilities of marriage, and where relationships are built on a foundation of faith, mutual respect, and shared devotion to You.

Scripture reminds 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?" We pray that any relationships formed through this program would be between believers who share a common faith and a commitment to Your Word. May courtship be entered into with purity, patience, and prayer, with the ultimate goal of marriage as You designed it—a lifelong union between one man and one woman.

We also lift up a warning against the temptation to rush into relationships or to treat discipleship as a social opportunity rather than a spiritual one. In 1 Thessalonians 4:3-5, Your Word declares, "For this is the will of God: your sanctification, that you abstain from sexual immorality, that each one of you know how to control his own body in sanctification and honor, not in the passion of lust, even as the Gentiles who don’t know God." We rebuke any thought or action that would lead to fornication, lust, or emotional impurity. May every interaction be marked by holiness, and may the pursuit of a spouse be guided by Your Spirit, not by the fleeting desires of the flesh.

Father, we also pray for wisdom and discernment for those involved in this program. Help them to seek You first, trusting that You will provide all things in Your perfect timing. As Matthew 6:33 reminds us, "But seek first God’s Kingdom and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well." May this discipleship journey be a time of surrender, where hearts are aligned with Your will, and where relationships—whether friendships or future marriages—are built on the solid rock of Christ.

We pray that this program would be a place where lives are changed, where souls are saved, and where Your name is glorified. May it bear fruit that lasts, not only in the lives of those who participate but also in the generations to come. And if it is Your will, Lord, we ask that You would bring godly spouses together in Your perfect timing, for those who are called to marriage. May these unions be a testimony to Your love, grace, and faithfulness.

In Jesus’ mighty name, we pray. Amen.
