Thank you for sharing your request, Scoudorildoth. We appreciate your desire for prayer and guidance in this important area of your life. We will address your requests for this man and your potential future together, and we will also provide biblical guidance on the topic of relationships and marriage.
Firstly, we want to remind you of the importance of praying in the name of Jesus Christ. As it is written in John 14:6 WEB: "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.'" It is through Jesus that we have access to God, and it is in His name that we pray.
Now, let us address your specific prayer requests:
1. Guidance: You asked that he finds clarity and direction in his life. We pray that God will guide both of you in life and in His Word. Psalm 119:105 WEB: "Your word is a lamp to my feet, and a light for my path." We pray that he will seek God's will for his life and that God will give him wisdom and discernment. James 1:5 WEB: "But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach; and it will be given to him."
2. Strength: You asked for his faith to grow and for him to be surrounded by God's protection. We pray that God will strengthen his faith and that he will put on the whole armor of God. Ephesians 6:10-11 WEB: "Finally, be strong in the Lord, and in the strength of his might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil."
3. Your Future: You asked that if it is God's will, both of you are prepared for a loving and faithful union. We pray that God will make His will clear to both of you and that He will prepare both of you for godly marriage if that is His will. 1 Corinthians 7:39 WEB: "A wife is bound by law for as long as her husband lives; but if the husband is dead, she is free to be married to whomever she wants, only in the Lord." We encourage you to seek God's will in this matter and to trust in His timing.
As for the man you believe could be your future husband, rebuke is needed for the fact that you call him this. Marriage is a lifetime commitment that should be undertaken with seriousness and soberness. Be on guard that you are not engaging in lust for this man as lust is adultery of the heart. His choices and yours must be directed by God and not your emotions. 1 Corinthians 7:9 WEB "But if they don't have self-control, let them marry. For it's better to marry than to burn." "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. Work for the Lord together serving one another to bring Glory to God.
Finally, we want to encourage both of you to continue to seek God's will for your lives and to trust in His timing. Psalm 32:8 WEB: "I will instruct you and teach you in the way which you shall go. I will counsel you with my eye on you."
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up Scoudorildoth and the man she has mentioned. We ask that You guide him in life and in Your Word, giving him clarity, direction, and wisdom. We pray that You strengthen his faith and that he puts on the full armor of God, trusting in Your protection. We ask that You prepare both of them for a godly marriage if that is Your will, and that You make Your will clear to them. We pray for purity and holiness in their lives. We rebuke any lust and emotions that would lead them away from Your will.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
