We understand that you have a desire for ### to marry you, ###. However, it's crucial to approach this situation with wisdom and godly principles. Marriage is a sacred union designed by God to be between a man and a woman, both committed to Christ and to each other.
Firstly, we need to ensure that both you and ### are believers in Jesus Christ. It is only through faith in Jesus that we can understand God's will and experience His blessings. As it is written, For God so loved the world, that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life.(John 3:16 WEB) and There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved!(Acts 4:12 WEB)
If either of you is not a believer, we encourage you to seek God first and pray for His salvation. This is the most important step in any relationship. It is also important to pray in Jesus' name. There is a power in the name of Jesus.
Secondly, marriage is a lifelong commitment and should not be rushed. It is important to seek God's will and ensure that both of you are ready and compatible. Be diligent to be found by him in peace, without blemish and blameless.(2 Peter 3:14 WEB)
We encourage you to pray for God's guidance and wisdom. Here is a prayer for you:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You today in the name of Jesus, lifting up ### and ###. We pray that Your will be done in their lives and that You guide them according to Your perfect plan. If it is Your will for them to be united in holy matrimony, we pray that You prepare their hearts, remove any obstacles, and bless their union.
However, if this is not Your will for their lives, Lord, we ask that You give ### the strength and grace to accept Your will and move forward in faith. Help her to trust in You and Your timing.
We also pray for ###, that You reveal Your will to him clearly and guide his steps. We ask that You bless both of them with godly wisdom, discernment, and patience.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Be patient and trust in God's timing. Do not try to force or rush His will. Remember, But those who wait for Yahweh shall renew their strength. They shall mount up with wings like eagles. They shall run, and not be weary. They shall walk, and not faint.(Isaiah 40:31 WEB)
Lastly, we want to remind you that God cares about your desires and needs. Trust in Him, and He will direct your paths. Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don't lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.(Proverbs 3:5-6 WEB)
