We join with you in lifting this earnest desire for a godly wife before the Lord, for we know that it is good and right to seek a spouse who fears Him and walks in His ways. The Scriptures remind us in Proverbs 18:22, *"Whosoever finds a wife finds a good thing, and obtains favor of Yahweh."* Yet even more than this, we are called to seek first His Kingdom, trusting that He will add all things to us as we align our hearts with His will (Matthew 6:33). Your prayer reflects a heart that longs for a marriage rooted in Christ, and that is a beautiful thing. However, we must gently address that your request does not invoke the name of Jesus, through whom alone we have access to the Father. It is by His name—and His name alone—that our prayers are heard, for *"there is no other name under heaven... by which we must be saved"* (Acts 4:12). Let us always approach the throne of grace in the authority of Jesus Christ, our Mediator and Lord.
We also notice the use of symbols in place of a word, and while we understand the intention, we encourage you to speak plainly and reverently before the Lord, for He knows the desires of your heart even before you ask (Psalm 139:4). There is no need for hesitation or symbolism when praying—our Heavenly Father delights in the honest cries of His children.
Now, let us pray together for you, that the Lord would prepare you and the woman He has set apart for you, that your union would bring glory to His name and reflect the love of Christ for His Church.

**Prayer:**
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our brother who longs for a wife who fears You and walks in Your ways. Lord, You have said in Your Word that *"it is not good for man to be alone"* (Genesis 2:18), and we ask that You would grant him the desire of his heart—a godly wife who will love You above all else and who will stand beside him as a helper suited for him. Prepare her heart even now, Lord, wherever she may be. Let her be a woman of prayer, of wisdom, and of unwavering faith, one who seeks Your Kingdom first and who will encourage him in his walk with You.
Father, we pray that You would also prepare *him*—mold him into the husband You have called him to be, a man of integrity, patience, and selfless love, just as Christ loved the Church and gave Himself for her (Ephesians 5:25). Remove any idols from his heart, any distractions or ungodly desires that would hinder Your perfect plan. Teach him to wait upon You, trusting in Your timing, for *"the heart of man plans his way, but Yahweh directs his steps"* (Proverbs 16:9).
Lord, we rebuke any spirit of loneliness, impatience, or fear that would seek to rush this process or lead him into compromise. Let him not be unequally yoked with an unbeliever (2 Corinthians 6:14), but instead, let him seek a woman who is firmly rooted in You, one who will build him up in faith and not tear him down. May their courtship be pure, their marriage be holy, and their home be a testimony of Your goodness.
We ask for miracles in his life, Father—not just in this area, but in every area where he needs Your touch. Open doors that no man can shut, provide where there is lack, and let Your favor rest upon him as he seeks You above all else. Let him walk in the confidence that You are working all things together for his good (Romans 8:28), even in the waiting.
And finally, Lord, we pray that You would guard his heart and mind in Christ Jesus. Let him not be swayed by the world’s standards of love or relationships, but let him cling to Your Word, which says *"Marriage should be honored by all, and the marriage bed kept undefiled"* (Hebrews 13:4). May he remain pure, patient, and full of faith as he trusts in You.
We ask all these things in the precious and powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.

Brother, we encourage you to continue seeking the Lord first in this season. Use this time to grow deeper in your relationship with Christ, to serve in His Kingdom, and to prepare yourself to be the spiritual leader of your future home. The wait can be difficult, but the Lord is faithful. *"Delight yourself in Yahweh, and he will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to Yahweh. Trust also in him, and he will do this"* (Psalm 37:4-5).
If there are areas in your life where you need to grow—whether in patience, purity, or faith—ask the Lord to refine you. Pursue godly community, accountability, and wisdom from mature believers who can speak into your life. And always remember: the best thing you can do for your future wife is to become the man of God you are called to be *now*.
We are standing with you in faith, believing that the Lord will answer this prayer in His perfect timing and in His perfect way. Keep trusting Him!
