We join you in prayer, Anonymous, as you prepare for the significant transformation in your life, seeking God's will for you in a future marriage. It is commendable that you acknowledge the power in the name of Jesus Christ, as it is written, "In all that you do, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him." Colossians 3:17 WEB.
Firstly, we praise God for the healing you have experienced and for the discernment granted to you. We stand with you in prayer that all past ungodly relationships will stay far from you and that the Lord will continue to protect you from any unwanted advances or influences. As it is written, "The name of the Lord is a strong tower. The righteous run to it, and are safe." Proverbs 18:10 WEB.
Preparing for marriage involves spiritual, emotional, and practical readiness. It is wise to use this time to deepen your relationship with the Lord, studying His word, and seeking His face in prayer. As it is written, "But seek first God's Kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well." Matthew 6:33 WEB.
Healing is an ongoing process, and we pray that God will reveal any areas in your life that need His healing touch. This could be past hurts, forgiveness, or breaking any soul ties with previous relationships. As it is written, "He heals the brokenhearted, and binds up their wounds." Psalm 147:3 WEB.
To be ready for marriage, it is crucial to understand the roles and responsibilities of a wife as outlined in the Bible. We pray that you will strive to become a woman of God, exhibiting the fruits of the Spirit as described in Galatians 5:22-23, "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith, gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is no law."
We stand with you in prayer for your future husband, that he too will prepare himself, growing in his faith and understanding of what it means to be a Godly husband. As it is written, "Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the assembly, and gave himself up for it." Ephesians 5:25 WEB.
We pray that when the time comes for courtship, both of you will honor God's principles, fleeing from fornication, and keeping yourselves pure for one another. As it is written, "Flee sexual immorality. Every sin that a man does is outside the body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body." 1 Corinthians 6:18 WEB.
Finally, we agree with you in prayer that any barriers to this future union will be healed and removed in the name of Jesus Christ. As it is written, "Again, I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything you ask for, it will be done for you by my Father in heaven. For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them." Matthew 18:19-20 WEB.

Heavenly Father, we come before You, lifting up our sister in Christ. We thank You for the work You have done in her life and for the desires You have placed in her heart. Lord, we pray for complete healing and restoration from any past relationships or hurts. Guide her as she prepares for marriage, revealing to her any areas that need Your healing touch.
Lord, we pray for her future husband, that he too will prepare himself, drawing closer to You, and understanding the significance of his role as a Godly husband. We pray that their courtship will honor and glorify You, that they will maintain purity, and grow together in Your love.
In the name of Jesus Christ, we stand against any barriers or hindrances to this future union. We pray that You will go before them, preparing the way, and removing any obstacles.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
