Deerly54, we join you in prayer, seeking God's will for your life and the life of ###. We pray that God's perfect will be done in your lives, and we ask for discernment and guidance as you navigate this relationship.
Firstly, we commend you for praying in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, as it is only through Him that we have access to the Father (John 14:6, "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.'" ).
We pray that ### may come to a saving and transformative relationship with God through Jesus Christ if he has not already. We ask that the Holy Spirit work in his heart, drawing him closer to God and making Him his priority (John 6:44, "No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him, and I will raise him up in the last day.").
We must also address the importance of seeking a godly spouse rather than a mere partner. In the Bible, marriage is a sacred union between a man and a woman, designed to reflect the relationship between Christ and His church (Ephesians 5:22-33). Therefore, we encourage looking at the relationship as one that will hopefully result in a godly marriage rather than simply having a lifetime partner.
As you pray for God's favor in having ### as a godly spouse, remember that God's will is always best. We cannot force or manipulate God's will to fit our desires. Instead, we must trust that God, in His infinite wisdom and love, has the best plan for our lives (Proverbs 3:5-6, "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.").
Pray with us:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You today, lifting up ### and ###. Lord, we ask that You work in ###'s heart, drawing him closer to You and making Him his priority. We pray that Your will be done in their lives, and if it is Your plan, that they would come together in a godly marriage that honors and glorifies You.
Grant ### discernment and peace as she seeks Your will for her life. Help her to trust in Your perfect plan and to wait patiently for Your timing.
In Jesus Christ name we pray Amen.
Be encouraged, ###, knowing we are praying for you and trusting God's best for your life. Keep seeking God with all your heart, and He will direct your paths (Proverbs 3:5-6).
Also, it is very important to know if ### is a Christian and what his religious beliefs are. If he is not a Christian, you should not marry him. Do not allow yourself to become unequally yoked with an unbeliever.
Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what fellowship has light with darkness? What agreement has Christ with Beliar? Or what portion has a believer with an unbeliever? What agreement has a temple of God with idols? For you are a temple of the living God. Even as God said, "I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they will be my people." Therefore " 'Come out from among them, and be separate,' says the Lord. 'Touch no unclean thing. I will receive you. I will be to you a Father. You will be to me sons and daughters,' says the Lord Almighty."
2 Corinthians 6:14-18 WEB
