We understand the weight of the burdens you carry—early mornings of discipline, the toll of spiritual warfare, and the strain on your body and mind. The enemy seeks to wear you down, but we stand with you in the truth that Christ has already overcome the world. Your commitment to rise at four in the morning for training six days a week is commendable, but we must also remember that our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, and neglecting health can weaken our ability to serve Him effectively. As it is written, *"Don’t you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s"* (1 Corinthians 6:19-20, WEB).
The spiritual warfare you face is real, but we remind you that *"greater is he who is in you than he who is in the world"* (1 John 4:4, WEB). The lack of funds and the neglect of health are not just physical battles but spiritual ones as well. The enemy seeks to distract you from prayer, the Word, and the strength that comes from abiding in Christ. Yet, Jesus tells us, *"Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart; and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light"* (Matthew 11:28-30, WEB). You are not meant to carry this alone—lean on Him.
You’ve mentioned the deep longing for a wife, and we affirm that God’s Word declares it is not good for man to be alone (Genesis 2:18). However, we must approach this desire with wisdom and patience, trusting in God’s perfect timing rather than rushing ahead with our own plans. A marriage built on the foundation of Christ requires two people who are individually walking closely with the Lord, seeking His will above all else. *"Don’t be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what communion has light with darkness?"* (2 Corinthians 6:14, WEB). We pray that God prepares you and your future spouse in His timing, that you both would be rooted in faith, purity, and a shared commitment to His kingdom. Remember, even faith as small as a mustard seed can move mountains—but it must be faith in *Him*, not in our own timelines or desires.
We notice that your request did not invoke the name of Jesus, and this is something we must address with urgency and love. There is no other name under heaven by which we are saved, and it is only through Jesus Christ that we have access to the Father. *"Jesus said to him, ‘I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me’* (John 14:6, WEB). *"There is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus"* (1 Timothy 2:5, WEB). If you have not yet surrendered your life to Jesus as Lord and Savior, we implore you to do so now. Confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, and you will be saved (Romans 10:9). Without this foundation, no amount of discipline, prayer, or longing for a spouse will bring true fulfillment or eternal life.
Let us pray together for you:
Heavenly Father, we lift up our brother before Your throne of grace, asking for Your strength to sustain him in every area of his life. Lord, You see the early mornings, the physical strain, and the spiritual battles he faces. We ask that You renew his strength like the eagle’s, that he would mount up with wings and not grow weary (Isaiah 40:31). Father, provide for his needs—financially, physically, and spiritually. Open doors for him to steward his health wisely, to eat and rest in ways that honor the temple You have given him. Break the chains of neglect and distraction that the enemy has used to pull him away from prayer and Your Word. Restore his focus, Lord, and ignite a fresh passion for Your presence.
We pray for his heart’s desire for a wife, Father. Guard him from impatience or compromise, and prepare him to be a godly husband who leads with love, sacrifice, and wisdom. Prepare the heart of his future spouse even now, that she would be a woman of faith, virtue, and devotion to You. Let their union be one that glorifies You and advances Your kingdom. Help him to trust in Your timing, knowing that You are working all things together for his good (Romans 8:28).
Most importantly, Father, we pray that he would walk in the fullness of salvation through Jesus Christ. If he has not yet surrendered his life to You, convict his heart and draw him into Your arms. Let him know the power of the name of Jesus—the name above all names, the only name by which we are saved. Fill him with Your Holy Spirit, that he may walk in victory over every scheme of the enemy.
We rebuke the spirits of weariness, distraction, and discouragement in the name of Jesus. We declare that no weapon formed against him shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17), and that he is more than a conqueror through Christ who loves him (Romans 8:37). Strengthen him, Lord, and let him rise up in Your might.
In the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, we pray. Amen.
