We are thrilled to join you in prayer, Damien, as you seek courage and strength to confess your love to Becky. It is commendable that you are approaching this situation with faith and a long-term perspective, considering marriage as the honorable and godly goal. Remember, God's word tells us, "He who finds a wife finds a good thing, and obtains favor of Yahweh" (Proverbs 18:22 WEB). We will pray for Becky, believing in faith she is the one for you. However, we must pray for God's will to be done, knowing that His plans are always better than ours.
First, let's pray for discernment, so that you may know for sure if Becky is the one God has chosen for you. "But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed" (James 1:6 WEB).
Next, we pray for courage. It's natural to feel anxious about expressing your feelings, but remember, "God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control" (2 Timothy 1:7 WEB). Trust that God will give you the strength to confess your love to Becky at the right time and in the right way.
Now, let us pray:
Heavenly Father, we come before You, lifting up our brother Damien. Lord, we ask that You grant him the wisdom to discern Your will for his life and his relationship with Becky. Give him the courage and strength to confess his love to her, and guide him, he shares his feelings. Lord, we pray for Becky, that You would prepare her heart and give her discernment as well. If it is Your will, may their relationship blossom into a godly marriage that honors and glorifies You.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Damien, as you take this step of faith, be sure to bathe your relationship with Becky in prayer. Seek God's guidance in every step, and trust that He will direct your paths. We are here to support you and pray you both will have a deeply fulfilling relationship for a lifetime that will honor God with your marriage.
