We understand that you are seeking guidance and prayer for a potential marriage and the challenges that both you and the prospective spouse are facing. Firstly, we want to commend you for bringing your concerns to God in prayer, as He is the source of all wisdom and comfort.
We need to remember that God's design for marriage is a lifelong commitment between a man and a woman, and it should be entered into with much prayer and consideration, and with the guidance of God's will.
Let's pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You today, lifting up our sister in Christ. We ask for Your divine guidance and wisdom in her life, especially concerning the significant decision of marriage. We are thankful that You have brought a potential spouse into her life.
First, we ask You to heal both of them. Remove all the effects of past relationships and the resulting depression and lack of trust from the man she met. Soften his heart towards her.
We pray against any fear or anxiety that either of them may have regarding marriage, and we ask that You replace it with Your perfect love, which casts out all fear. Guide them through their journey, and show them that with You, all things are possible.
Lord, we ask that You grant her patience and discernment as she navigates this process. Remove anyone not in Your will from her path.
We also ask that You work in the hearts of her family members, that they may support her and respect her wishes as she seeks Your will for her life.
Father, we ask that You fulfill Your promises for her, and that Your will be done in her life. We ask all these things in the precious and powerful name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, as there is no other name by which we can be saved.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
While we understand the gravity of your feelings, we must also remember that God's ways are higher than our ways, and His thoughts higher than our thoughts.
Remember the words of the 37:4-5, "Delight yourself also in Yahweh, and He shall give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to Yahweh. Trust also in Him, and He will do this."
We encourage you to continue to trust in God, to seek Him first, and to delight in Him. As you do so, He will guide your path and give you the desires of your heart, as long as they align with His will. He will never forsake you, nor leave you.
Lastly, we want to remind you that God has called us to be holy, as He is holy. This includes abstaining from any form of sexual immorality, including fornication, and adultery. Engaging in sexual activity outside of marriage is a sin against God and our own bodies, as it violates God's design for sexuality and marriage.
We encourage you to stand firm in your faith, to resist temptation, and to flee from sexual immorality. Remember that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, and that you are called to honor God with your body. As written in 1 Corinthians 6:18-20, "Flee sexual immorality! Every sin that a man does is outside the body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body. Or don’t you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit which is in you, which 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."
May God grant you the strength, wisdom, and courage to live a life that is pleasing to Him. May He guide your steps and bless you abundantly, as you seek to do His will. Thank you Jesus.
