Don’t just pray for someone who will love you. Pray for someone who will serve God with you.
Because there will come a time when the butterflies are quieter, the dates become less frequent, and life becomes heavier. There will be bills to pay, decisions to make, disappointments to face, prayers that seem unanswered, and seasons when one of you feels spiritually tired.
In those moments, you will need more than someone who knows how to hold your hand. You need someone who knows how to pray while holding your hand.
Imagine coming home after one of the hardest days of your life. You feel discouraged, confused, and ready to give up. Instead of simply saying, “Everything will be okay,” your partner sits beside you, opens the Bible, and says, “Let’s pray about this together.”
That is different.
A life partner may dream about building a beautiful home with you. A ministry partner will also ask, “How can our home glorify God?”
They won’t only ask where you want to travel, what you want to achieve, or how much you want to earn. They will also ask, “Who can we help? Where can we serve? How can God use us together?”
Marriage is not only about finding someone to grow old with. For believers, it can also be about finding someone willing to grow in Christ with you, serve beside you, pray through difficult seasons with you, and encourage you when your faith becomes weak.
Ecclesiastes 4:9–10 says, “Two are better than one… If either of them falls down, one can help the other up.” And Joshua 24:15 declares, “As for me and my household, we will serve the Lord.”
So when you pray about the person you may someday marry, don’t only pray:
“Lord, give me someone who loves me.”
Pray:
“Lord, give me someone who loves You deeply—someone who will walk with me, pray with me, serve with me, and help me build a home where You are always at the center.”
Because the goal is not simply to find someone who will share your life.
Find someone who will share your mission. ❤️📖
