We understand that you're going through a time of longing and uncertainty, and we're here to pray with you and offer biblical guidance. First, let's pray:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our sister who is experiencing deep emotions of longing and love. We ask that You comfort her heart and guide her through this time of uncertainty. Lord, we pray that if it is Your will, that You would work in the heart of the man she cares for, and draw them both closer to You and to each other if that is your will. Help her to trust in Your timing and Your plan for her life.
Now, let's look at what the Bible says about relationships and marriage. It's important to remember that God's will is always aligned with His Word. In 2 Corinthians 6:14 WEB, it says, "Don't be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what communion has light with darkness?" This verse reminds us that as Christians, we should seek to marry those who are also believers in Jesus Christ. If the man you're longing for is not a believer, we encourage you to pray for his salvation and trust that God will bring the right godly spouse into your life in His timing.
Additionally, it's crucial to seek God's will in all things, including relationships. Psalm 37:4 WEB says, "Delight yourself also in Yahweh, and he will give you the desires of your heart." As you delight in the Lord, He will place the right desires in your heart and grant them according to His will.
Lastly, we want to encourage you to trust in God's timing. Psalm 32:8 WEB says, "I will instruct you and teach you in the way which you shall go: I will counsel you with my eye on you." Trust that God is working in your life and that He will guide you to the right spouse at the right time.
Remember, it is only in the name of Jesus that we have access to God. 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." Trust in Jesus and His work on the cross for your salvation and for access to God the Father.
We're praying for you, and we encourage you to continue to seek God's will in all things. If this man is not yet a believer, pray for his salvation. If he is, trust that God will make a way for a godly marriage if it is His will. Keep delighting in the Lord, and He will give you the desires of your heart. IJN
