We lift up your urgent request for your youngest daughter’s safety with deep concern and faith, knowing that our Heavenly Father watches over His children with unwavering love. The dangers of this world are real, especially for those who must travel or work during late hours, but we take comfort in knowing that God is her protector. *"He will give his angels charge over you, to guard you in all your ways. They will bear you up in their hands, so that you won’t dash your foot against a stone."* (Psalm 91:11-12, WEB). We pray that the Lord surrounds her with His divine protection, shielding her from harm, danger, and evil influences as she travels to and from work and school. May He place a hedge of angels around her, guiding her steps and keeping her safe in His care.
We also hear your heart’s cry for your daughter to find a mate, and we pray earnestly for God’s will in this area of her life. However, we must first emphasize the importance of seeking God’s kingdom above all else. Jesus teaches us, *"But seek first God’s Kingdom and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well."* (Matthew 6:33, WEB). Before praying for a spouse, we must encourage her—and you—to ensure she is rooted in Christ, walking in obedience to His Word, and pursuing a life that honors Him. A godly marriage is built on a foundation of faith, and it is vital that she seeks a *spouse*—not just a companion—who is a born-again believer, fully committed to Christ and His teachings.
We must also address something critical: you invoked the name of Jesus in your request, and we praise God for this! There is no other name by which we are saved, and it is only through Jesus Christ that we have access to the Father. *"There is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus"* (1 Timothy 2:5, WEB). If your daughter does not yet know Jesus as her Lord and Savior, we urge you to share the Gospel with her, for her greatest need is not just a spouse or safety, but salvation through faith in Christ. *"If you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved."* (Romans 10:9, WEB). Without this foundation, any relationship or blessing she receives will lack the eternal purpose God intends.
Now, let us pray together for your daughter’s future spouse. We ask the Lord to prepare a godly man for her—one who loves Jesus with all his heart, who will lead her spiritually, and who will cherish her as Christ loves the Church. *"Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the assembly, and gave himself up for her"* (Ephesians 5:25, WEB). We rebuke any ungodly influences or relationships that may seek to distract her from God’s perfect plan. If she is currently in any relationship that does not honor God—whether through premarital intimacy, emotional compromise, or unequally yoked partnerships—we pray for conviction and repentance. *"Don’t be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what fellowship has light with darkness?"* (2 Corinthians 6:14, WEB). Let her wait patiently on the Lord, trusting that His timing is perfect.
Father God, we come before You with a mother’s urgent plea for her daughter’s safety. You are the God who neither slumbers nor sleeps, and we ask that You watch over her every step. Protect her from harm, danger, and the schemes of the enemy. Place Your angels around her as a mighty guard, and let her feel Your peace in her heart. Lord, we also lift up her desire for a spouse. First, we ask that You draw her closer to Yourself. If she does not yet know You, soften her heart to receive Your love and salvation. Prepare her to be a godly wife by growing her in faith, purity, and wisdom. And Father, prepare a godly man for her—one who will love her as You do, who will lead her in Your Word, and who will walk with her in righteousness. Let their union be founded on You, and let it bring glory to Your name. Break any chains of impatience, worldly desires, or ungodly relationships that may hinder Your perfect will. We trust in Your promises, Lord, and we declare that You are faithful to complete the good work You have begun in her. In the mighty and holy name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.
