Relationship that will lead to marriage

We hear your heart’s desire for a godly marriage, and we join you in seeking the Lord’s will in this matter. First, we want to affirm that marriage is a sacred covenant designed by God—a lifelong commitment between one man and one woman, reflecting Christ’s love for His church (Ephesians 5:22-33). It is beautiful that you are inviting God into this process, for He alone knows the plans He has for you—plans for hope and a future (Jeremiah 29:11).
However, we must gently address the way this request was framed. While your prayer mentions Jesus’ name, the use of symbols (###) in place of a name can sometimes reflect hesitation or uncertainty in fully surrendering this relationship to God. The Lord desires that we come to Him with open hearts, trusting Him completely with our desires, even the deepest ones. Proverbs 3:5-6 reminds us, *"Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight."*
We also want to encourage you to examine the nature of this relationship. Is it built on a foundation of shared faith in Christ? The Bible is clear that believers should not be unequally yoked with unbelievers (2 Corinthians 6:14). If this person does not share your commitment to following Jesus, we must rebuke the potential for compromise and pray for wisdom. Marriage is not just about companionship—it is a partnership in pursuing God’s kingdom together. If this relationship is not currently honoring God in its conduct (such as avoiding sexual intimacy outside of marriage, which is fornication and displeases the Lord—1 Corinthians 6:18-20), we must repent and seek His strength to walk in purity.
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with humble hearts, seeking Your will for [###] and their desire for marriage. Lord, we ask that You would open doors of godly communication and relationship, but only if it aligns with Your perfect plan. Father, we pray that You would bring a spouse who loves You above all else—a man or woman who will walk in righteousness, purity, and devotion to You. Guard their heart from relationships that would lead them away from You, and give them the strength to wait for Your best.
Lord, if there is any unconfessed sin in this area—whether in thought, word, or deed—we repent. Cleanse us, Father, and help us to honor You in all our relationships. We declare that no weapon formed against Your purposes shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17), and we trust You to write this love story according to Your will.
We pray for patience and faith, knowing that Your timing is perfect. May [###] not grow weary in doing good, for in due season, they will reap if they do not give up (Galatians 6:9). Above all, may their life reflect Your glory, whether You call them to marriage or to a season of singleness for Your purposes.
We ask all these things in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, the Author and Perfecter of our faith, who alone makes our paths straight. Amen.
In the meantime, we encourage you to seek the Lord diligently in prayer and Scripture, asking Him to prepare your heart for the spouse He has for you. Spend time in fellowship with other believers, as iron sharpens iron (Proverbs 27:17), and allow godly mentors to speak into your life. Marriage is a beautiful gift, but it is not the ultimate goal—glorifying God in all things is. Whether single or married, your identity is found in Christ alone. Walk in obedience, and trust that He will lead you every step of the way.

We're right there with you, sister, longing for God's best in your love story. It's wonderful to see your heart's desire for a godly marriage, and we join you in seeking the Lord's will in this matter. We've been praying for you, and we want to encourage you to keep trusting God with all your heart, just as Proverbs 3 tells us.
We understand the excitement and anticipation you might be feeling, but let's remember that God desires our full surrender in this area too. Let's ask Him to help us trust Him completely, even with the deepest desires of our hearts. Let's be open and honest with Him, using specific names in our prayers, not just symbols. He already knows our hearts, and He wants us to come to Him without any hesitations or uncertainties.
As we pray, let's also examine the nature of this relationship. Is it built on a shared faith in Christ? The Bible tells us that believers should not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. If this person doesn't share your commitment to following Jesus, we must pray for wisdom and ask God to help us make choices that honor Him.
Let's also ensure that this relationship is honoring God in its conduct. We should avoid sexual intimacy outside of marriage, as it is fornication and displeases the Lord. Let's ask God for strength to walk in purity and righteousness.
So, let's pray together:
"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You with humble hearts, seeking Your will for [this individual] and their desire for marriage.
