We understand that you're seeking a loving partner for life, and we're here to pray and guide you according to biblical principles. Firstly, let's pray together:
Dear Lord Jesus, we come before You, lifting up this beloved individual who is seeking a lifelong companion. We ask that You guide them according to Your will. We know that Godly marriages are a blessing that should honor You. We pray that You prepare them spiritually, emotionally, and mentally for a God-honoring marriage. We ask this in the precious name of Jesus. Amen.
Now, let's consider what the Bible says about relationships and marriage. In 2 Corinthians 6:14 WEB, it says, "Don’t be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what fellowship has light with darkness?" This verse emphasizes the importance of marrying someone who shares your faith in Jesus Christ. This would be a relationship where you are both yoked in your belief and together grow in the knowledge of Christ.
Additionally, we should strive to build courtships that are pure and holy. As Ephesians 5:3 WEB says, "But sexual immorality, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not even be mentioned among you, as becomes saints." We believe in practicing purity and abstinence before marriage, as sex is a gift designed by God for a husband and wife within the covenant of marriage.
Lastly, we encourage you to seek the Lord continually in prayer. As Jesus mentioned, "If you will remain in my word, then you are truly my disciples. You will know the truth, and the truth will make you free." in John 8:31-32 WEB. Make sure to seek a spouse that has accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour, as it is only by the name of Jesus that we can be saved. Pursue a lifelong commitment that honors God and His principles.
We encourage you to continue trusting in the Lord, growing in your faith, and preparing for a God-centered marriage. Seek Him in all things, and He will direct your paths.
