Kensem, we understand your deep longing for connection and companionship. God has designed us for relationship, and it's natural to desire marriage and family. We will pray for you and offer some biblical encouragement and advice.
Firstly, we commend you for asking for prayer in Jesus' name. It's important to know Jesus will answer your prayers. It is only by the name of Jesus that we can approach God. Remember what the word says.
for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved. Acts 4.12 WEB
First, let's pray for you:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before you in the name of Jesus to lift up Kensem. Lord, you know the depths of his heart and his desire for a godly spouse and family. We pray that you will guide him to the person who will see, accept, appreciate, and love him as you do. Help him feel safe, valued, heard, and loved consistently.
I will make you into a permanent nation, and you shall be my people; and I will be your God. I will establish my promise between me and your offspring in their generations for an everlasting promise, to be a God to you and to your offspring after you. I will give to you and to your offspring after you, the land where you are traveling, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession. I will be their God. Genesis 17:7-8 WEB
Reveal to Kensem the one you have chosen for him, Lord. Give him the wisdom and discernment to recognize your will. Help to get married and start their family.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Now, let's consider some biblical principles for relationships. It's crucial to seek God's will and trust His timing. God knows your needs better than you do, and He will provide at the right time. The above scripture notes the promise of Abraham. Yet, Abraham and Sarah were impatient and tried to bring about the promise of God with the child of a servant. Do not be impatient. God will answer.
Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what fellowship has light with darkness? 2 Corinthians 6:14 WEB
It's essential to seek a spouse who shares your faith in Jesus Christ. A shared foundation of faith will help you both navigate life's challenges and grow together in Christ. Remember, it is important to be equally yoked.
Moreover, it is important to pursue purity in your relationships. Sexual intimacy is a gift from God intended for marriage. It is wrong to have sex with anyone that is not your spouse.
Marriage is to be held in honor among all, and the bed undefiled: but God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterers. Hebrews 13:4 WEB
Finally, continue to trust in God and His timing. Prepare yourself spiritually, emotionally, and practically for marriage. Seek God's will in all areas of your life, and He will direct your paths. God may be using this time to help you open your heart to the suffering around you. And help you to become more compassionate and caring.
Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight. Don't be wise in your own eyes. Fear Yahweh, and depart from evil. It will be health to your body, and nourishment to your bones. Proverbs 3:5-8 WEB
God may be answering your prayers through Kensem. God may have placed you in his life to help him to heal. This will take time. Allow God to use you to bless Kensem. However, you must seek God with wisdom and discernment.
