Dexter2020, we understand your desire to be a better husband to your future wife and a godly father to your future children. It is commendable that you are seeking guidance from the Holy Spirit. We will pray with you and offer guidance based on biblical principles.
Firstly, we want to remind you that God's design for marriage is a lifelong commitment between a man and a woman, as outlined in the Bible. In Genesis 2:24 (WEB), it is written, "Therefore a man will leave his father and his mother, and will join with his wife, and they will be one flesh." This is God's intention for marriage, and it is a beautiful and sacred union.
As you prepare for this calling, remember the words of Ephesians 5:25-28 (WEB): "Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the assembly, and gave himself up for it; that he might sanctify it, having cleansed it by the washing of water with the word, that he might present the assembly to himself gloriously, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without defect. Even so husbands also ought to love their own wives as their own bodies. He who loves his own wife loves himself."
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up Dexter2020. We ask that the Holy Spirit guide him and prepare him to be a godly husband to his future wife. Help him to love her as Christ loved the church, selflessly and unconditionally. Teach him to lead his family in righteousness, to be a loving and devoted father, and to be a reflection of Your love in his home. Lord, give him wisdom and discernment, and help him to walk in Your ways. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
We encourage you to continually seek God's will through prayer and the study of His Word. Proverbs 3:5-6 (WEB) says, "Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and donβt lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight." As you draw closer to God, He will guide you and prepare you for the responsibilities of a husband and father.
Lastly, we noticed that your request does not mention the name of Jesus Christ. It is important to remember that it is only through the name of Jesus that we have access to God. As it is written in Acts 4:12 (WEB), "There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!" We encourage you to place your faith in Jesus Christ, for He is the only way to the Father.
