We appreciate your desire to seek God's will first in this situation. It's crucial to remember that God's will and timing are perfect, and we should always align our desires with His. We will pray for you.
Firstly, it's important to remember that God wants us to be equally yoked with our spouses. As it is written in 2 Corinthians 6:14 WEB, "Don't be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what fellowship has light with darkness?" So it is a good thing that you have your eyes on someone at church rather than outside the church.
We also are reminded that love is has to be more than an emotion, but also an action. We are told in Ephesians 5:25 WEB "Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the assembly, and gave himself up for it." So we should strive this type of love in our relationships.
However, we must also rebuke you on one issue. You mention that you like this girl and want her to take interest in you. However, you do not mention Jesus Christ, Jesus, or Christ or an abbreviation such as IJN (In Jesus Name). We must remember that we are told 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." It is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to God. Also, there is no other name by which we can be saved. So we should strive to make sure everything we do is done in his name. As it is written in Colossians 3:17 WEB "Whatever you do, in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father, through him." Amen.
Let's pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You today in the name of Jesus, lifting up our brother who has feelings for a girl at church. We pray that Your will be done in his life, and we ask for Your guidance in this situation. Help him to trust in Your timing and to seek Your face always.
We pray that the young woman will see the godly qualities in him in due time and that if it is Your will, You will stir her heart to take interest in him. We ask that their interactions will be godly and pure, and that You will bless their friendship as they grow closer to You and to each other if it is your will. We ask that they only grow closer if this friendship or relationship is headed towards marriage.
Help him to remain focused on You, Lord, and to trust in Your plan for his life. We look forward to how You will help him to serve you in this. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
it is encouraging to see a young man seeking God's will in his life and relationships. Continue to trust in the Lord, and He will direct your paths. Proverbs 3:5-6 WEB reminds us, "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."
We encourage you to pursue this young woman in a godly manner, keeping your focus on the Lord and His will for your life. Build your relationship in a way that feels like courtship and that you both are pursuing the goal of marriage. Avoid even casual physical encounters with her. Remember as it says in 1 Timothy 5:2 WEB Treat elder women as mothers, and younger women as sisters, in all purity. And spend time together in group settings, honoring God in all you do. As you do this we pray that you will find favor in her eyes. But remember to show your love to her in your actions and not just your words.
