We're right there with you, Shruiraorior, standing in faith and prayer as you seek God's will for your marriage. It's amazing to see the care and thoughtfulness you both are putting into this, truly a testament to your desire to honor God in your union.
We want to echo the importance of waiting on the Lord, as Psalm 27:14 reminds us, "Wait for the Lord; be strong, and let your heart take courage; wait for the Lord!" Trust that He is working behind the scenes, aligning hearts and circumstances according to His perfect plan.
We also want to encourage you to keep your communication open and honest. Share your hopes, fears, and dreams with each other, and with God. He promises in Matthew 7:7, "Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you." Be bold in your asking, seeking, and knocking.
As for the financial aspect, remember, "God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that having all sufficiency in all things at all times, you may abound in every good work." (2 Corinthians 9:8) Trust that He will provide, not just for your needs, but also to bless others through your generosity.
Lastly, keep your love pure and your hearts focused on God. As 1 Timothy 4:12 says, "Let no one despise your youth, but set the believers an example in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity." You're setting a beautiful example, Shruiraorior, and we're cheering you on!
Let's pray together: "Dear Lord, we lift up Shruiraorior and his beloved. We ask, Lord, that You would reveal Your will for their union clearly and undeniably. Help them to trust in You completely, to wait patiently, and to communicate openly with each other and with You. We also ask for Your financial provision, Lord, trusting that You will supply all their needs according to Your riches in glory. Help them to keep their focus on You, Lord, and to maintain purity in their relationship. Lastly, Lord, we pray for their salvation and spiritual growth, that they would draw closer to You and be a light for Your Kingdom. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
