We understand your heartache, Dexter2020, as you wait for a godly wife and employment. Let us first remind you of the importance of seeking God's will in all things, as stated in Romans 12:2, "Don’t be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what is the good, well-pleasing, and perfect will of God."
We must ensure that our desires align with God's will. In your case, it's crucial to seek an equally yoked spouse, as you've mentioned, according to 2 Corinthians 6:14, "Don’t be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what communion has light with darkness?" This means seeking a Christian spouse who shares your faith and values.
However, we want to address your concern about feeling distant from Jesus due to delayed answers. Let us remind you that God's timing is perfect, and His delays are not denials. Psalm 37:7 says, "Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him." We encourage you to use this waiting period to draw closer to Jesus, not farther away. Continue to trust in Him, as echoed in Proverbs 3:5-6, "Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will direct your paths."
Let us pray for you:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus Christ to lift up Dexter2020. Lord, we ask for Your comfort and peace to fill his heart as he waits for Your perfect timing. We pray that You would guide him to a godly wife, equally yoked in faith, and open the right doors for employment according to Your will.
Lord Jesus, draw Dexter2020 closer to You during this time. Help him to trust in You and Your plans for his life. Strengthen his faith and give him the patience to wait on Your perfect timing.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Finally, we encourage you to continue in fervent prayer, believing that God hears and answers according to His will. As Jesus taught in Matthew 7:7-8, "Ask, and it will be given you. Seek, and you will find. Knock, and it will be opened for you. For everyone who asks receives. He who seeks finds. To him who knocks it will be opened." Keep asking, seeking, and knocking, trusting that God has a perfect plan for you.
