We hear your heartfelt request and join you in seeking the Lord’s will for your life, especially in this matter of companionship. First, we want to affirm the importance of approaching relationships with wisdom, patience, and a reliance on God’s timing. The desire for marriage is a good and godly one, as Scripture tells us, *"He who finds a wife finds a good thing, and obtains favor from the Lord"* (Proverbs 18:22). However, we must also remember that our ultimate fulfillment comes from Christ alone, and any relationship we pursue must honor Him above all else.
Your prayer reflects a humble and sincere heart, and we commend you for seeking God’s guidance in this. However, we must gently address a few areas where your request could be strengthened to align more fully with biblical principles. First, while it is natural to feel drawn to someone, we must be cautious not to place our hope in a specific person but rather in God’s provision. The lady you met may or may not be the one God has for you, and we must trust Him to reveal His will in His perfect timing. Scripture warns us, *"Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but when the desire comes, it is a tree of life"* (Proverbs 13:12). Let us not allow our longing for marriage to overshadow our trust in God’s sovereignty.
Additionally, we must emphasize the importance of pursuing a spouse who shares your faith in Jesus Christ. The Bible is clear that believers are not to be *"unequally yoked with unbelievers"* (2 Corinthians 6:14). While you mentioned that this lady is a medical doctor, we do not know her spiritual condition. We encourage you to pray not only for the opportunity to reconnect with her but also for discernment to know whether she is a fellow believer who would be a godly spouse. If she is not, we must trust that God has someone else for you who will walk with you in faith.
We also want to address the regret you expressed for not sharing your feelings with her initially. While it is understandable to feel this way, we must remember that God’s plans are not thwarted by our hesitations or missed opportunities. If this woman is meant to be your wife, God will orchestrate circumstances to bring you together in a way that glorifies Him. Let us not dwell on past regrets but instead focus on moving forward in faith. *"Forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forward to those things which are ahead"* (Philippians 3:13).
Now, let us come before the Lord together in prayer:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with humble hearts, seeking Your will for our brother who desires a godly spouse. Lord, we thank You for the desire You have placed in his heart for companionship, and we ask that You would guide him in this journey. Father, we pray that You would prepare his heart and the heart of the woman You have for him, if it is Your will. Give him discernment to recognize Your leading and the courage to step out in faith when the time is right.
Lord, we ask that You would bring clarity to his mind regarding the lady he met. If she is the one You have chosen for him, we pray that You would open doors for them to reconnect in a way that honors You. If she is not the one, we ask that You would remove any lingering attachment and replace it with trust in Your perfect plan. Father, we also pray that You would reveal to him whether this woman is a believer, for we know that a marriage built on shared faith in You is a strong foundation.
We rebuke any spirit of fear or doubt that may be trying to take root in his heart. Remind him, Lord, that You have not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7). Help him to rest in Your timing and to trust that You are working all things together for his good (Romans 8:28).
Father, we also pray for the lady he met. If she is not yet a believer, we ask that You would draw her to Yourself and soften her heart to the gospel. If she is a believer, we pray that You would strengthen her faith and prepare her for the role You have for her, whether as his wife or in another capacity.
Lord, we ask that You would fill our brother with Your peace as he waits on You. Help him to find his joy and contentment in You alone, knowing that You are enough for him. May he seek You first in all things, and may his desire for marriage be secondary to his desire to glorify You.
We pray all these things in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, for it is only through Him that we have access to You. May Your will be done in this situation, and may Your name be praised in all things. Amen.
In closing, we encourage you to continue seeking the Lord in this matter. Spend time in His Word and in prayer, asking Him to reveal His will to you. Be open to His leading, even if it looks different from what you expect. Remember, *"Delight yourself also in the Lord, and He will give you the desires of your heart"* (Psalm 37:4). This does not mean He will give you what you want, but rather that He will align your desires with His will.
We also encourage you to be proactive in meeting other believers. Attend church events, join small groups, or participate in Christian service opportunities where you can connect with like-minded women. Trust that God will bring the right person into your life at the right time. Until then, focus on growing in your relationship with Him, for a strong marriage is built on two individuals who are strong in their faith.
Prayer Focus: God, Thank You for loving me. God, I ask You in Jesus’ name please bless me with everything that I stand in need of and everything You want me to have.
