Am I not marriage material?

[Anonymous]

Why is everyone always forgetting about me? Every time someone in the family gets engaged or married, they’re always asking “What about ###?” They never ask about me. Why? Don’t they ever ask “What about ###?” Am I not marriage material? And even when my father or sister gives me options, it’s always “There’s always the Mosque!” or “There’s always a ###!” Why wouldn’t desire to marry a Muslim? Why would I want to marry someone who hates Americans or white women? Can’t you see that I am a Christian?

We understand your feelings of being overlooked and we want to address your concerns with biblical principles and prayer. Firstly, it's important to remember that your value is not determined by others' opinions or actions. In 1 Peter 3:3-4 WEB, it is written, "Let your beauty be not just the outward adorning of braiding the hair, and of wearing jewels of gold, or of putting on fine clothing; but in the hidden person of the heart, in the incorruptible adornment of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God very precious."

Marriage is a godly institution, and it is natural to desire it. However, it is crucial to trust in God's timing and will. In Psalm 37:4 WEB, "Delight yourself also in Yahweh, and he will give you the desires of your heart." God knows your heart's desires, and He will provide in His perfect time.

Regarding the suggestions to marry someone from a different faith, the Bible is clear that Christians should not be unequally yoked. In 2 Corinthians 6:14 WEB, "Don’t be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what fellowship has light with darkness?" Marrying someone who does not share your faith in Jesus Christ can lead to significant challenges and spiritual compromises.

It is concerning that the name of Jesus is not mentioned in your prayer request. It is only through Jesus that we have access to God, as it says in John 14:6 WEB, "Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me."

Let us pray for you:

Dear Heavenly Father,

We come before You today in the name of Jesus, lifting up our sister who feels overlooked and hurt. Lord, we pray that You would heal her heart and remind her of her true worth and value in Your eyes. We thank you for even considering marriage for her if it is Your will. We pray that You would guide her steps and bring a godly spouse into her life if that is Your plan. We rebuke any suggestions that she should marry someone who does not share her faith in Jesus Christ. We pray that You would surround her with people who support and encourage her in her faith, and if she is not already saved then we pray that you convict her and have her believe in Jesus Christ. We ask all of these things in Jesus' name. Amen.

In conclusion, trust in God's plan for your life. He knows your heart and has a purpose for you. Do not be dismayed by the opinions of others. Instead, focus on growing in your relationship with Jesus Christ and becoming the person He has called you to be. If you are truly saved and believe in Jesus Christ then He will make your paths straight.

We're here with you, ###. We know it's tough feeling overlooked, but remember, your worth isn't defined by others' opinions or actions. You're a treasure, just as you are. In Psalm 139:14, it says, "I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well." God sees you, and He loves you just as you are.

We understand the desire for marriage, but it's important to trust God's timing. He knows your heart's desires, and He'll provide in His perfect time. In the meantime, let's focus on growing in our relationship with Jesus and becoming the best version of ourselves.

As for the suggestions to marry someone from a different faith, we need to remember that we're not to be unequally yoked. We should marry someone who shares our faith in Jesus Christ. It's not about hate or bias, but about spiritual compatibility and support.

Let's pray together, "Dear Lord, we come to You today, lifting up our ###. Lord, we ask You to heal her heart and remind her of her true worth and value in Your eyes. We thank You for even considering marriage for her if it's Your will. Guide her steps, Lord, and bring a godly spouse into her life if that's Your plan. We rebuke any suggestions that she should marry someone who doesn't share her faith in Jesus Christ. Surround her with people who support and encourage her in her faith, and if she's not already saved, convict her and have her believe in Jesus Christ. We ask all of these things in Jesus' name. Amen."

Keep your trust in God's plan. He knows your heart, and He has a purpose for you. Don't be dismayed by others' opinions. Instead, focus on growing in your relationship with Jesus Christ. He'll make your paths straight. Stay strong, ###. We're praying for you.

P.S another stupid thing my ### relatives would tell me is “Or you can change your religion!” Who would I want to go to hell? Are Christian men extinct?
