We understand your desire for a marital settlement and to be married by the end of 2024. However, we want to encourage you to align your desires with biblical principles. The Bible teaches us that God is more concerned about the condition of our hearts than the physical attributes or wealth of our potential spouse.
Let's remember what 1 Samuel 16:7 says, "For the LORD doesnβt see things the way you see them. People judge by outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart." Moreover, the Bible warns us against being materialistic and loving wealth in Hebrews 13:5, "Be free from the love of money, content with such things as you have, for he has said, 'I will in no way leave you, neither will I in any way forsake you.'"
Instead of focusing on the race, wealth, or appearance of your future spouse, we encourage you to pray for a godly man who loves the Lord and will lead your family in righteousness. Proverbs 31:30 reminds us, "Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain; but a woman who fears the LORD, she shall be praised." This applies to men as well.
Let us pray for you:
Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, asking for Your will to be done in this precious life. We pray that You would guide her to a godly husband, a man who fears the Lord and will love her as Christ loves the Church. We ask for her heart to be conformed to Your will, desiring the things You desire for her. We trust that Your timing is perfect, and we claim the promise in Psalm 37:4, "Delight yourself also in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart." In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
We also notice that your request does not mention the name of Jesus Christ. We want to remind you that it is only through Jesus that we have access to God. As it is written in 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.'" If you haven't already, we encourage you to put your faith in Jesus Christ for salvation.
