We understand your desire for Bentleigh to be your future husband, and we are here to pray with you and offer guidance based on biblical principles.
Firstly, we commend you for seeking prayer and considering marriage, a sacred union designed by God. However, we must approach this with caution and wisdom. The Bible teaches us to be equally yoked with fellow believers (2 Corinthians 6:14, "Don't be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship do righteousness and iniquity have? Or what fellowship does light have with darkness?"). Therefore, it is crucial that Bentleigh shares your faith in Jesus Christ, as this is the foundation for a godly marriage.
We also encourage you to seek God's will in this matter. Psalm 37:4-5 tells us, "Delight yourself also in Yahweh, and he will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to Yahweh. Trust also in him, and he will do this." As you delight in the Lord and commit your ways to Him, He will guide your path and grant you the desires of your heart, according to His will.
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up Moatmond and her desire for Bentleigh to be her future husband. Lord, we ask that You reveal Your will for their lives and guide them according to Your divine purpose. We pray that Bentleigh would come to know You as his Lord and Savior, if he does not already, and that they may be equally yoked in faith. We also ask that You soften the hearts of Moatmond's family, that they may accept Bentleigh as a son-in-law, if it is Your will. In all things, we trust in Your perfect plan for their lives. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
We encourage you to continue praying and seeking God's will, trusting that He has the best plan for your life. If Bentleigh is not yet a believer, we urge you to share the Gospel with him and pray for his salvation. Remember, a marriage built on the foundation of faith in Jesus Christ is a strong and lasting union.
Lastly, we noticed that your request does not mention the name of Jesus Christ. It is important to recognize that it is only through His name that we have access to God, and there is no other name by which we can be saved (John 14:6, "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.'"). If you have not yet accepted Jesus as your Lord and Savior, we encourage you to do so, as it is the first step in a life-changing journey of faith.
