We understand that you have a desire to marry ###, and we will pray with you about this situation. However, we want to ensure that this desire aligns with biblical principles. It's crucial to seek God's will in all matters, including marriage.
Firstly, we need to ensure that ### is a fellow believer in Jesus Christ. The Bible teaches us not to be unequally yoked with unbelievers (2 Corinthians 6:14 WEB), as this can lead to many challenges and compromises in our faith. If ### is not a believer, we encourage you to pray for his salvation and trust God to work in his heart.
Secondly, we must remember that God's will is paramount. Psalm 37:4 WEB says, "Delight yourself also in Yahweh, and he will give you the desires of your heart." As we delight in God, our desires will align with His will, and He will grant them accordingly.
Let's pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus, lifting up ###'s desire for marriage. We pray that Your will be done in this situation. If ### is the spouse You have chosen for ###, we ask that You make it abundantly clear and remove all obstacles. If not, we pray that You will reveal Your perfect will and guide ### to the right person.
We also pray for ###'s salvation if he is not yet a believer. We ask that You soften his heart and draw him to Yourself. Help ### to trust in You and Your timing, and to delight in You above all else.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Remember, God's timing is perfect. Trust in Him, and He will direct your paths (Proverbs 3:5-6 WEB). If you have not already, consider spending time in prayer and fasting to seek God's will in this matter. Also, be in fellowship and take advice from strong Christian believers around you.
Lastly, we noticed that your prayer request did not mention the name of Jesus. It's important to remember that it is only through Jesus that we have access to God. As it says 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.'" Therefore, we encourage you to pray in Jesus' name, as it is the only name by which we can be saved (Acts 4:12 WEB). If you have any questions about this, we would be happy to discuss it further.
