Kensem, we hear your heart's cry for a spouse and a family, and we join you in prayer, seeking God's will for your life. We believe that God has a plan and a purpose for you, and we stand on the promise in Psalm 37:4, "Delight yourself also in Yahweh, and he will give you the desires of your heart."
Firstly, we want to commend you for seeking a spouse and not just a partner. Marriage is a sacred institution ordained by God, and it is pleasing to Him when we seek to honor Him in our relationships. As it is written in Hebrews 13:4, "Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the marriage bed be undefiled, for God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterous."
However, we want to encourage you not to rush into marriage out of loneliness. It is crucial to seek God's face and His timing. Proverbs 18:22 reminds us, "He who finds a wife finds a good thing, and obtains favor of Yahweh." It is God's favor that we need in our lives and marriages, and we must trust His timing.
Let us pray for you:
Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus, lifting up Kensem. Lord, You know the deep longing in their heart for a spouse and a family. We ask that You comfort them in their loneliness and give them patience to wait on Your perfect timing. Guide them to the person You have prepared for them, and help them to grow in You as they wait. Prepare their heart and mind for marriage, and give them the wisdom to discern Your will. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
In the meantime, we encourage you to use this season of singleness to draw closer to God. Seek Him daily, study His Word, and surround yourself with a community of believers who can support and encourage you. God's best is worth waiting for, and we trust that He has great plans for you.
