We understand that you're seeking prayer for your marriage and peace of mind, and we're here to support you in prayer and truth according to the Word of God. First, we need to clarify a few things according to biblical principles.
Marriage is a sacred bond between a man and a woman, instituted by God Himself. We read this in Matthew 19, 4 And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female, 5 And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh? 6 Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.
From your request, it seems like you're looking for a godly spouse, which is commendable. However, the manner in which you're going about it seems to be causing some confusion and distress, as you are seeing a profile online and interacting on Instagram. While technology can be useful, we must be cautious and discerning in our interactions, ensuring that we are honoring God in all our ways and that we are not wasting time on things that are not pleasing to Him. Colossians 3, 17 And whatever you do, in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.
Regarding the individual you mentioned, it's important to note that a godly spouse will exhibit the fruits of the Spirit, such as love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, and temperance. Galatians 5, 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, 23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. The behavior and responses you've described do not seem to align with these qualities.
Moreover, it's crucial to seek God's will in all things, including our relationships. We should be led by the Holy Spirit, not by our emotions or the opinions of others. It's encouraging that you're seeking clarity from the Word of God. Psalm 119, 105 Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.
Regarding the feelings of humiliation and the inability to forget this individual, remember that God's mercy is new every morning. Lamentations 3, 22 It is of the LORD's mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. 23 They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness. It's important to forgive, let go of the past, and trust God for your future. Romans 12, 19 Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.
Now, let's pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You, lifting up our sister in Christ who is seeking Your will for her marriage. Lord, we ask that You guide her steps, that You grant her wisdom and discernment as she considers a godly spouse. Help her to focus on Your Word, to be led by Your Spirit, and to trust in Your timing.
Father, we also pray for her peace of mind. We ask that You heal any emotional wounds, that You help her to forgive and let go of any past hurts. Lord, grant her Your peace, Your joy, and Your strength. Help her to fix her eyes on You, to trust in Your goodness and Your faithfulness.
We also pray for the individual she mentioned. Lord, if he is not walking in Your ways, we pray that You convict his heart, that You draw Him to Yourself. If he is not the one You have for her, we ask that You make it clear, that You guide her steps in another direction.
Finally, Father, we pray that Your will be done in her life. That You bless her with a godly spouse, a marriage that honors You, and a life filled with Your love, Your joy, and Your peace.
We ask all these things in the powerful name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Acts 4, 12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
Amen.
Your request did not mention the name of Jesus Christ and this is the only way to approach God. John 14, 6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
