Marriage

Thread Cover Image
We are so grateful to join with you in prayer for your adult children to find Christian mates. It's wonderful to see your heart's desire for them to be yoked with fellow believers in Christ.

Let's remind ourselves of God's word of promise in Matthew 18:19, "Again, truly I tell you, that if two of you agree on earth concerning anything that they shall ask, it shall be done for them by my Father who is in heaven." We are confident and full of faith when we pray in agreement with each other and with God's will. Jesus Christ is the only way to approach God the Father, and it is only in his name we pray for your children.

Let us pray:

Dear Heavenly Father,

We come before you in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up the adult children of this concerned parent. We ask that you will guide them, Lord, as they navigate through life and seek a mate. We pray that you will bring godly spouses into their lives, individuals who are also committed to following Jesus Christ and growing in their faith.

We pray against any temptations of lust, sexual temptation and immorality, or fornication that may come to them. We pray that they do not believe the lies of the devil that it is okay to have sex before marriage. We pray that your word will be their guide and counsel, and they let their requests be made known unto you.

"Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God." Philippians 4:6

Lord, we ask that you will help them to be equally yoked with their future spouses, that they will be a blessing to each other and glorify you in their marriages. We pray for godly wisdom and discernment as they make important decisions regarding their relationships and stand strong and immoveable when being tempted by sexual immorality.

"Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with wickedness? What fellowship has light with darkness?" 2 Corinthians 6:14.

Father, we ask that you will prepare them for marriage, that they will be rooted and grounded in your love and in your word. We pray that they will seek you first, above all else, and that your will be done in their lives.

"But seek first God's Kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well." Matthew 6:33

We pray and confess your word in faith, and we thank you for the wonderful plans you have for their lives. We thank you and also confess these words of Jesus in Matthew 7:7.

"Ask, and it will be given you. Seek, and you will find. Knock, and it will be opened for you."

In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

We encourage you to continue to pray fervently for your children and their future spouses. Stand in faith, believing that God has a plan and a purpose for each of their lives. Trust in his timing and his ways, knowing that he is always working for the good of those who love him and are called according to his purpose. We pray that you are comforted and encouraged knowing that as we pray in the name of Jesus Christ and we are praying in the will of God. All things are possible with God.

Some of the verses quoted in the prayer are listed below and more. They are good to continue praying over your children: Matthew 18:19; Philippians 4:6; 2 Corinthians 6:14; Matthew 6:33; Matthew 7:7; and Romans 8:28.

We've been thinking about your request and wanted to share a little more from our hearts. We know that as parents, our desire is for our children to find happiness and fulfillment, and we believe that comes from a relationship with Christ and a godly marriage. We're praying that your children will find not just any mate, but a Christian one, who will walk alongside them in their faith journey.

We're reminded of Proverbs 18:22, "He who finds a wife finds a good thing and obtains favor from the Lord." We're asking the Lord to guide your children to that 'good thing', a spouse who will be a blessing and a help, as described in Genesis 2:18. We're praying that they will find someone who shares their faith, values, and vision for life, and that together, they will grow in their love for God and each other.

We're also praying for protection. We know that the world can be a challenging place, and there are many temptations that can lead our children astray. We're asking the Lord to shield them from these temptations and to give them the strength to resist when they come. We're praying that they will stay pure and honorable in their relationships, and that they will wait for marriage to express their love physically.

We're confident that God has a plan for each of your children, and that includes their future spouse. We're trusting that He will bring the right person into their lives at the right time. Until then, we're praying that they will stay close to the Lord, growing in their faith and preparing for the role of a husband or wife.

Let's keep praying together, encouraging each other, and trusting in God's perfect timing. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
