Dear Heavenly Father,
In the name of Jesus, we come before you on behalf of ###, who desires to become a deacon and is seeking your guidance and help. Lord, you have called us to serve you and your people, and we believe that you have placed this desire in ###'s heart for a reason.
Father, we ask for your wisdom and discernment in this matter. If it is your will for ### to be married before becoming a deacon, we pray that you would bring the right person into their life. May you guide them both in building a strong and godly relationship, rooted in love, respect, and commitment to you.
Lord, we pray for your blessings upon their future marriage. May it be a union that reflects your love and grace, filled with happiness, joy, and unity. Grant them the strength to overcome any challenges they may face and the wisdom to navigate through the ups and downs of life together.
We also ask for your provision of children, if it aligns with your perfect plan for their lives. May their family be blessed with the gift of children, and may they raise them in the fear and admonition of the Lord.
Father, we surrender this desire and request into your hands, trusting in your perfect timing and guidance. May ### and their future spouse find fulfillment and purpose in serving you as deacons, using their gifts and talents to bring glory to your name.
We pray all these things in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen.
