Heavenly Father,
We come before You with hearts full of gratitude and praise for the gift of marriage, which You have ordained as a sacred covenant between a man and a woman. Lord, we lift up ### to You, seeking Your divine guidance and wisdom in the search for a virtuous spouse. Your Word tells us in Proverbs 18:22, "He who finds a wife finds a good thing and obtains favor from the Lord." We trust in Your perfect timing and Your perfect plan for ###'s life.
Lord, we acknowledge that Your ways are higher than our ways and Your thoughts are higher than our thoughts (Isaiah 55:9). Help ### to remain patient and faithful, trusting that You will lead the way to a holy and happy marriage. Grant ### discernment to recognize a spouse who embodies the virtues of love, kindness, faithfulness, and godliness.
We pray that You prepare ###'s heart and the heart of the future spouse, so that when the time comes, they may enter into marriage with a deep commitment to honor and glorify You in all things. May their union be a reflection of Christ's love for the Church, as described in Ephesians 5:25-27.
Lord, we also ask for Your protection over ### during this season of waiting. Guard against any temptations or distractions that may lead away from Your will. Strengthen ###'s faith and draw closer to You each day, knowing that You are the ultimate source of love and fulfillment.
In Jesus' mighty name, we pray. Amen.
