Disciple of Prayer
My name is ### - I am seeking prayer because I have really strong feelings for someone and would like to ask God for their hand in marriage. I really pray this person is meant for me and that it’s who God wants me to be with and plans for me to be with. Above that, I seek prayer that God’s will is done and that I am in alignment with God’s plan for my life, marriage, and relationships.

We are blessed to join you in prayer and seek God's will for your life and relationships. It's commendable that you're seeking God's plan for your marriage, as marriage is a sacred institution ordained by God.

Firstly, let's pray for discernment, as feelings can sometimes be deceiving. In Jeremiah 17:9 WEB it says, "The heart is deceitful above all things, and it is exceedingly corrupt: who can know it?" Therefore, it's crucial to seek God's wisdom in this matter. As it says in James 1:5 WEB, "But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of the giving God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him."

Secondly, let's pray that God's will be done in your life and that you will align with His plan for your marriage. In Matthew 6:10 WEB, Jesus teaches us to pray, "Let your Kingdom come. Let your will be done, as in heaven, so on earth." Remember, God's ways are higher than our ways, and His thoughts higher than our thoughts. Isaiah 55:8-9 WEB, " 'For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,' says Yahweh. 'For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.'"

Now, let's pray together:

Heavenly Father, we come before You, lifting up our brother/sister in Christ. We pray that You will grant them the wisdom and discernment needed for this situation. Help them to see this potential spouse through Your eyes, and not merely through their feelings.

We pray, Father, that Your will be done in their life. If this person is not the one You have planned for them, we pray that You will make it clear and help them to accept and obey Your will. If this person is indeed who You have chosen for them, we pray that You will make that clear as well, and that You will guide them through every step of the journey ahead.

We pray all these things in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord, and Savior. For it is in Jesus that we have access to the Father. As it says 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 through faith and belief in Jesus that we can be saved. Ephesians 2:8-9 WEB, "for by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, that no one would boast."

Lastly, we encourage you to continue to wait on the Lord, for He is faithful. As it says in Psalm 37:4-5 WEB, "Delight yourself also in Yahweh, and he will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to Yahweh. Trust also in him, and he will do this:"

We're here with you, seeking God's will for your life and this potential relationship. It's great to hear that you're looking to God for guidance in your marriage plans. Let's continue to pray for discernment, as we've mentioned earlier. But let's also pray for peace and patience. In Philippians 4:7, we're told, "And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus." Trust that God's timing is perfect, and He will reveal His will for you in His own time.

Let's also pray for protection. In Ephesians 6:18, we're encouraged to "pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord's people." Let's ask God to protect your heart and mind, and to guard you from any hurt or deceit.

Now, let's pray together:

Heavenly Father, we come before You, asking for peace and patience for our sister in Christ. Help her to trust in Your timing and to wait on You. Give her strength to endure and to remain steadfast in her faith. We also pray for protection, Lord. Guard her heart and mind, and keep her safe from any harm or deceit. Help her to see this situation through Your eyes, and to align her will with Yours. We pray all these things in Jesus' mighty name. Amen.
