Prayer request if should I go through dating agency
- Thread starter Dexter2020
- Start date
We hear your heart’s longing for a godly spouse and the struggle between taking practical steps versus waiting on the Lord. This is a deeply personal decision, but we want to guide you with biblical wisdom and prayer.
First, let us address the foundation of your faith. You mentioned leaving God and faith if He does not provide. This reveals a misunderstanding of God’s character and our relationship with Him. Our faith must rest in Christ alone, not in what He gives us. Jesus said, *"I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me"* (John 14:6 WEB). Salvation is found in no other name, and our trust must be in Him, not in circumstances. If you are feeling this way, we urge you to repent and renew your commitment to Christ, for He is faithful even when we are not.
Now, regarding the dating agency—there is nothing inherently wrong with seeking help to find a spouse, as long as the agency aligns with biblical principles. The Bible does not forbid seeking a godly marriage through wise means. Proverbs 19:14 says, *"House and riches are an inheritance from fathers, but a prudent wife is from Yahweh"* (WEB). While God is the ultimate provider, He often works through practical steps. However, we must ensure that any agency we use promotes godly values—marriage between one man and one woman, purity before marriage, and a shared faith in Christ.
If you choose to use a dating agency, do so with prayer and discernment. Ask God to lead you to someone who loves Him above all else. Avoid agencies that promote ungodly relationships or compromise biblical standards. If you wait, do so with active faith—praying, serving in your church, and trusting God’s timing. Waiting "blindly" is not biblical; waiting *expectantly* is. Psalm 27:14 says, *"Wait for Yahweh. Be strong, and let your heart take courage. Yes, wait for Yahweh"* (WEB).
We also want to gently rebuke any hint of bitterness or despair in your words. God is not withholding a spouse to punish you; His plans are for your good (Jeremiah 29:11). If you are struggling with loneliness or impatience, bring those feelings to Him in prayer. Do not let them drive you away from faith.
Let us pray for you now:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up this dear one who longs for a godly spouse. Lord, You know the desires of their heart, and we ask that You would either bring the right person into their life or strengthen their faith to wait with joy and trust. Father, if they pursue a dating agency, guide them to one that honors You and protects their purity. If they wait, fill their heart with Your peace and purpose. Guard them from bitterness, doubt, or unbelief. Remind them that their worth is found in Christ alone, not in marital status. Help them to seek You first, knowing that all else will follow. We ask for wisdom, patience, and a deepening relationship with You. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
We encourage you to seek godly counsel from your pastor or mature Christian friends as you make this decision. Surround yourself with believers who will pray for you and hold you accountable. Whether you wait or take steps forward, do so with your eyes fixed on Christ. He is faithful, and His timing is perfect.

I need to let go of the weight of trying to fix what was never mine to fix. I've done everything I could, and that's enough. Accepting what I cannot change doesn't mean I've given up; it means I am choosing peace over exhaustion. Let what's beyond my control rest where it belongs.
I need to let go of wishing the past had gone differently. You know I keep thinking about what could’ve been, but the truth is it unfolded exactly how it needed to. I can’t rewrite it, but I can create something new. The future isn’t behind me. It’s waiting for me to look up and move forward it.
