Anonymous, we hear your heart's cry and we join you in prayer, standing on God's promises for your life. The Bible tells us that God has plans to prosper us and not to harm us, plans to give us hope and a future (Jeremiah 29:11 WEB). This includes the desire for companionship that God has placed within you.
Firstly, we commend you for keeping your faith strong and anchored in the Word of God. It is crucial to remember that God's timing is indeed perfect, and He knows the best time to bring the right person into your life. As it is written, "He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also, he has set eternity in their hearts; yet they cannot fathom what God has done from beginning to end" (Ecclesiastes 3:11 WEB).
However, we want to encourage you not to lose hope. Hope is an anchor for the soul, firm and secure (Hebrews 6:19 WEB). Even in your 40s, God's plan for you is not over. Sarah, Abraham's wife, was well advanced in years when God fulfilled His promise to them (Genesis 18:10-14 WEB). Remember, it is never too late for God to work in your life.
We also want to remind you that the desire to be wanted and loved is a natural one, placed within us by God Himself. But let us not forget that even in our times of loneliness, we are never truly alone. Jesus promises to be with us always, even to the end of the age (Matthew 28:20 WEB).
Now, let us pray together:
"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You today to lift up our sister in Christ. She feels lonely, Lord, and desires the companionship of a godly husband. We ask that You comfort her heart and remind her of Your unfailing love for her. In Your perfect timing, Lord, bring into her life a man who fears You, loves You, and is compatible with her. Help them to recognize each other as Your gift, and guide their relationship according to Your will.
In the meantime, Lord, help our sister to keep her heart and mind stayed on You. Help her to trust in You with all her heart, and not to lean on her own understanding. In all her ways, Lord, help her to acknowledge You, knowing that You will direct her paths (Proverbs 3:5-6 WEB).
Finally, Lord, we ask that You fill her with Your love, joy, and peace as she continues to wait on You. Help her to remember that You have good plans for her life. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
Lastly, we want to leave you with this verse: "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" (Psalm 37:4-5 WEB). Keep delighting yourself in the Lord, and trust that He will bring to pass the desires He has placed within you, according to His will and in His perfect timing.
