Heavenly Father,
We come before You with hearts full of gratitude and humility, acknowledging Your sovereignty and grace. We lift up this dear one who feels Your divine calling to work for Your kingdom. We thank You, Lord, for placing this holy desire in the heart, and we ask for Your guidance and wisdom as this journey unfolds.
Your Word tells us in Proverbs 3:5-6, "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to Him, and He will make your paths straight." We pray that this truth will resonate deeply within this individual's spirit. May there be a steadfast trust in Your plans, and may there be a submission to Your will, knowing that You will direct every step.
We also lift up the future spouse in prayer. We ask that You bind them together with cords of love that cannot be broken. Let their relationship be a testament to Your faithfulness and grace. As they prepare for marriage, may they seek You first in all things, as it is written in Psalm 37:4, "Take delight in the Lord, and He will give you the desires of your heart."
Father, we pray for strength and perseverance through the struggles they have faced. Let them find solace in Your promise from Isaiah 40:31, "But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint." Renew their strength, Lord, and let them rise above their challenges with renewed hope and vigor.
Guide them, Lord, into the specific work You have called them to do. Grant them clarity and discernment, and let their efforts bear much fruit for Your kingdom. As it says in Colossians 3:23-24, "Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving." May this truth be their guiding principle in all their endeavors.
In Jesus' precious name, we pray. Amen.
