We hear your heart and you are not bothering us at all, we are honored to stand with you in prayer and we thank you for seeking the Lord's will in this desire for marriage.
We understand the ache of loneliness and we want to remind you that God sees that longing. He said from the beginning, It is not good that the man should be alone Genesis 2:18, and He sets the lonely in families Psalm 68:6. Your desire for a godly wife for a lifelong marriage between a man and a woman is good and biblical, for He who finds a wife finds a good thing, and obtains favor of Yahweh Proverbs 18:22. A prudent wife is from Yahweh Proverbs 19:14.
We encourage you to continue to seek Him first while you wait, as you have so humbly prayed if it be His will. Delight yourself also in Yahweh, and he will give you the desires of your heart Psalm 37:4. But seek first God’s Kingdom, and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well Matthew 6:33. God makes everything beautiful in its time Ecclesiastes 3:11, so we pray for patience and contentment in this season of singleness, trusting that He is preparing you even now to be the godly husband He calls you to be, and preparing her as well. Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers 2 Corinthians 6:14, so we pray that the Lord will lead you to a fellow believer who loves Jesus above all, and that your courtship would be with the clear goal of marriage, not merely companionship.
We also want to encourage you to walk in purity as you wait and as you court. Marriage is to be held in honor among all, and the bed undefiled Hebrews 13:4, and we are called to flee sexual immorality 1 Corinthians 6:18. Keeping yourself pure before marriage honors God and honors your future wife.
We are grateful you prayed in the name of Jesus, for it is through Him we have access to the Father.
We pray together with you now. Father in heaven, we lift up our brother to Your throne of grace in the name of Jesus Christ. You know his loneliness and his sincere desire for a godly wife and for a marriage that honors You. If it is Your will, we ask that You would in Your perfect timing bring into his life a godly woman who loves You with all her heart, who is faithful and prudent and seeking to serve You. Prepare them both for one another, make them mature in faith and character, and lead them to each other clearly. Until that day, fill his heart with Your presence, take away fear and discouragement, and let him know that You are near and will never leave him nor forsake him Isaiah 41:10. Help him to be content and to serve You joyfully in this season, to grow in holiness and to guard his heart in purity. We ask that You would guard his future marriage to be a lifelong covenant that reflects Christ and the church, built on Your Word. In all things let Your will be done and let him feel Your peace which surpasses all understanding Philippians 4:7. In Jesus name we pray, amen.
We encourage you to keep praying, keep abiding in the Word, and keep serving faithfully in the local church where godly relationships often grow. Trust that the Lord hears you and loves you deeply, and He will guide your steps as you trust in Him.

We're so glad you wrote again. Please don't feel you're bothering us at all. We hear how tired you are of feeling lonely and how sincere your desire is for a godly wife and marriage, if it is the Lord's will for you. That longing for companionship is understandable, and it's hard to carry it day after day.
We are praying for you in this season of waiting. Loneliness has a way of making us feel isolated even when God is near, and one thing that often helps is staying rooted in regular fellowship. Just continuing to show up in worship and in a smaller community where people know you by name can lift some of that isolation and keep your heart encouraged while you wait. It puts you among God's people, not facing the future alone.
It can also help to walk closely with one or two mature brothers in your church, a pastor or an older married man you trust, who can know you, pray with you, and walk with you as you think and pray about marriage. You don't have to sort through this longing by yourself.
Father, we lift our brother to you. You see his loneliness and his desire for a godly marriage according to your will. Give him comfort today, surround him with steady friendship, and give him wisdom, patience and hope as he waits on you. Lead his steps in the way you have for him. In Jesus' name, amen.

Your prayer is no bother at all, and it is right and good that you should bring this desire before the Lord. To long for a godly companion in the holy estate of marriage is not a thing to be ashamed of, for it is not a less sacred thing to be the married wife or the married husband than to walk alone in singleness, and the Lord Himself ordained marriage from the beginning as a lifelong covenant of one man and one woman.
I hear in your words the weariness of loneliness, and I would have you know that our blessed Saviour knows that sorrow full well. He was left alone just when as Man He most needed human sympathy, forsaken by all and yet not alone, for the Father was with Him. If you feel at times that you endure loneliness arising from the absence of godly society and the want of one to walk beside you in the fear of the Lord, remember that Christ has trodden that lonely path before you and He is able to sympathize and to sustain you even now.
It is good that you add, if that be His will, for that is the posture of faith which says, Though He slay me, yet will I trust in Him. The desire for a godly woman, one who fears the Lord and walks in His ways, is a comely desire. One of the most intense desires of every godly man is that there may be a succession of godly homes, and he who seeks a wife should seek one whose heart is already wedded to Christ, for only there can there be that true oneness where husband and wife become one in the Lord and find mutual delight and complacency under His blessing.
Therefore I would exhort you to wait upon the Lord and to seek first the marriage of your own soul to the Lamb, for there is no marriage without the Bridegroom, and Christ must be first and all in all to you. Continue in prayer, continue in the Word, continue in the fellowship of the saints, and forsake not the God of your fathers. Keep yourself pure as you would have her kept pure, for sex and living together belong only within that covenant of marriage, and the Lord honors those who honor Him.
Let us pray together for you.
O gracious Father, Thou knowest the heart of this Thy servant who confesses his loneliness before Thee. Thou hast said it is not good that man should be alone, and Thou knowest whether it be Thy good will to give him a godly wife to walk with him in this life. If it be Thy will, in Thy perfect time and providence, bring to him a woman who loves Christ above all, who is modest and faithful and full of faith, that they may together serve Thee and be a comfort and help to one another. If Thou wilt have him wait, or walk alone yet a while, give him contentment in Christ, keep him from impatience and from temptation, and let him find his fullness in fellowship with Thy Son. Grant him to trust Thy wisdom and Thy love, to delight himself in Thee, and to receive all Thy gifts with thanksgiving. In Jesus name we ask it, Amen.
Be of good courage. The Lord who hears prayer will do that which is best for you, and whether He gives or withholds, He will not withhold His presence from those who trust Him.

Beloved of All
We thank you for sharing your honest prayer and we have heard your longing. It is good and right to desire marriage as God has ordained it, and we join you in bringing this before the Lord in Jesus name.
God made marriage from the beginning, that a man should leave father and mother and cleave to his wife and the two become one flesh. Marriage is honorable and pure, and it preserves holiness by keeping our lives ordered and chaste before Him. The profit of marriage is to keep the body pure and to walk together in faith, in the home, and in character.
We pray for you now that the Lord who sees your loneliness would comfort you and give you peace while you wait. We ask that if it be His will, He would in His perfect time bring into your life a godly woman who loves Jesus Christ alone for salvation, who walks in faith and modesty and virtue, and who desires a lifelong covenant of one man and one woman as Scripture teaches. We pray that He would help you to remain pure and self controlled in this season, to guard your heart from fornication and to use this time of waiting to grow in holiness, in prayer, and in service to Him and to others.
We also pray that you would not be discouraged by loneliness, but would know that you are not forgotten. God is near to those who call on Him, and He gives grace for each day. Seek first His kingdom, continue in fellowship with faithful believers, and look for character and faith above all else when you consider a wife, for a good name and a faithful heart are better than riches.
May the Lord grant you wisdom, patience, and contentment in His will, and if He wills marriage for you, may He make the way clear and keep you both pure until that day. We trust His wisdom and His love to provide what is best for you.
In the name of Jesus Christ our Lord we pray, amen.
