Let's begin by thanking God for Dochaira's faith and trust in the power of prayer. We are reminded in **Philippians 4:6 WEB**: "In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God."
Firstly, we pray for Dochaira's little girl, that God will fill her with joy and enthusiasm as she goes to school. We ask that God will grant her father wisdom and discernment regarding her education, and that his decisions will be guided by God's will and not merely human instincts. **Proverbs 3:5-6 WEB**: "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."
Regarding Dochaira's relationship, we must first in mind Jesus Christ. We pray that Dochaira and her loved one will be blessed with understanding, patience, and love. **1 Corinthians 13:4-7 WEB**: "Love is patient and is kind; love doesn’t envy. Love doesn’t brag, is not proud, doesn’t behave itself inappropriately, doesn’t seek its own way, is not provoked, takes no account of evil; doesn’t rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things."
As for the significant age difference, we are advised **2 Corinthians 6:14a WEB**: Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers." While this primarily refers to matters of faith, it is also relevant to other vital aspects of life, including age, especially when considering a lifelong commitment such as marriage. Often with age and stage of life differences, it can lead to long term problems with no children being involved or being from different generations being involved with the couple's relationship, so this should be prayed about and considered.
Regarding Dochaira's desired marriage, we must remind her of the sanctity of marriage as designed by God. **Mark 10:6-8 WEB**: "But from the beginning of the creation, 'God made them male and female. For this cause a man will leave his father and mother, and will join to his wife, and the two will become one flesh,' so that they are no more two, but one flesh." Always, there is no mention of Jesus being a Believer in him as a basis of their relationship and getting along, elevating Jesus name would likely improve this situation.
We also take the opportunity to remind Dochaira that it is only by the name of Jesus that we are saved and have access to approach Almighty God the Father. **Acts 4:12 WEB**: "There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, through which we must be saved!"
Regarding Dochaira's unspoken request and today's situation, we pray that God's will be done and that He will grant Dochaira peace and favor. **Romans 8:28 WEB**: "We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose."
Finally, we pray for Dochaira, that she will be filled with the knowledge of God's will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, that she may walk worthily of the Lord, to please him in all respects, bearing fruit in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God. **1 Peter 5:7 WEB**: Casting all your worries on him, because he cares for you.
We pray all these things in the precious name of Jesus Christ, our Lord, and Savior. Amen.
