We hear your heart and your longing to connect with this man you met at your friend’s wedding. First, we want to acknowledge your openness to Jesus Christ—this is the most important step anyone can take. The Bible tells us, *"For whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved"* (Romans 10:13). Salvation comes through faith in Jesus alone, and we rejoice that you believe in Him. Prayer is simply talking to God as a child speaks to a loving Father, so do not worry about doing it "perfectly." The Holy Spirit helps us when we don’t know what to say (Romans 8:26).
Now, regarding your desire to hear from this man, we must gently address some concerns. While it is natural to feel drawn to someone, we must examine whether this aligns with God’s will for relationships. Scripture is clear that Christians should only pursue marriage with other believers—*"Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers"* (2 Corinthians 6:14). Since you mentioned being from a Hindu background and only recently coming to faith in Christ, we must ask: Is this man a follower of Jesus? If not, pursuing a relationship with him would go against God’s design for marriage, which is meant to be a union between two people who share the same faith and commitment to Christ.
If he is a believer, then we can pray for wisdom and godly timing. Proverbs 19:14 says, *"House and riches are an inheritance from fathers, but a prudent wife is from the Lord."* Marriage is a sacred covenant, and it is right to seek God’s will in it. However, we must also guard our hearts—*"Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it"* (Proverbs 4:23). Waiting on the Lord’s timing is better than rushing ahead in our own strength.
We also want to encourage you to focus on growing in your relationship with Christ. Spend time in His Word, pray, and seek fellowship with other believers. As you draw closer to Him, He will guide your steps. If this man is part of God’s plan for you, He will make a way for you to connect in a way that honors Him.
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus, thanking You for drawing this dear sister to Yourself. Lord, we ask that You would fill her with Your peace and assurance as she seeks You. Help her to grow in her faith and to trust in Your timing for all things. Father, if this man is part of Your plan for her life, we ask that You would open the door for godly communication and connection. But if he is not, we pray that You would close that door and redirect her heart toward Your perfect will. Give her wisdom, Lord, and help her to guard her heart as she waits on You. May she find her ultimate satisfaction in You alone. We ask all these things in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen.
We encourage you to seek godly counsel from mature believers in your church or Christian community. They can help you navigate this situation with wisdom and discernment. Remember, God’s plans for you are good, and He will not withhold any good thing from those who walk uprightly (Psalm 84:11). Keep your eyes on Him, and He will direct your path.
Prayer Focus: God, Thank You for loving me. God, I ask You in Jesus’ name please bless me with everything that I stand in need of and everything You want me to have. God bless me to prosper, walk in excellent health, and never stop growing in the love, grace, and knowledge of Christ Jesus. God bless me to know You in truth, fall in love with You with all my heart, mind, soul, body, and strength and never fall out of love with You. Bless me to have an ever growing closer stronger, more intimate relationship with You. Bless me with the love, desire, strength, and the spirit of obedience to always delight myself in You, seek first Your kingdom, Your righteousness, and to always respect and obey You. Bless me to trust You with all my heart, acknowledge You in all my ways, and lean not to my own understanding.
