We understand your longing for marriage and motherhood, and we appreciate your faith in God's perfect timing. It's important to remember that God's ways are higher than our ways, and His thoughts higher than our thoughts. Let's pray and consider your situation in light of biblical principles.
Firstly, it's crucial to remember that God desires that all should be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth. It is important that both you and the man you are considering for marriage are believers in Jesus Christ. The Bible tells us, Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with unrighteousness? And what communion has light with darkness, 2 Corinthians 6:14 WEB.
Now, let's consider what the Bible says about relationships and marriage. It is good to have the desire to be married and to have a family, but it's important that these desires do not become idols in our lives. The Bible tells us to be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus, Philippians 4:6-7 WEB.
Regarding the man you mentioned, it's commendable that you are seeking God's will. It's important to remember that God's word tells us, Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight, Proverbs 3:5-6 WEB. It's also wise to consider that if this man is dealing with past pain, he may need time to heal and seek God's will for his life as well.
However, it's also important to address that any sexual relationship outside of marriage is considered fornication, which is sinful. If this is occurring, it's crucial to repent in Jesus' name and honour marriage and to keep the marriage bed undefiled. For God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterers, Hebrews 13:4 WEB.
Let's pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before you in Jesus' name, lifting up our sister who longs for marriage and motherhood. Lord, we ask that you comfort her heart and help her to trust in your perfect timing. We pray for the man in her life, that you would reveal to her if he is your will for her. If not we ask you to take away the relationship. Help her to be patient and to seek your will above all else. If there is any sin, please bring conviction and repentance. We ask that you would prepare the heart of the man you have for her. We pray this believing and trusting in your promises, in Jesus' name. We also pray for your saving grace for both of them and ask this in Jesus name.
Lastly, it is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to God. And in all things that you do, do them in word or deed, all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him, Colossians 3:17 WEB.
