I would like prayer for God to remove the desire to get married completely.

Also to quit smoking. God bless...

How can I pray for you regarding marriage when I do not know for sure what YHWH's will is for your in that regard? I have prayed for His perfect merciful will to be done in marrying or not marrying whatever it is, and for you to give up smoking for life.

God I pray for the salvation of this woman
God I pray she surrender her life to you
God I pray she make you the Lord of her life
that she read your word and seek you
seek your Will in everything she does
Release her from addictions,
and give her a willing heart
to accept your will regarding marriage
Bless her to get into a bible based, spirit filled church
Assembly of God is a good one
and to find fellowship amongst those who love you
and where should she date again
it would be with a man born again, and loves God

Dear Trinitylove,

I have seen your many posts on marriage, and your many posts on dreams.

Bless your heart.

God won't show you who you are to marry in a dream right now because you demand it and so you go away mad?

Come on, Trinitylove, God's messages are in his Word and in his people and very seldom are they given in dreams.

Dreams are vague and strange.

The Bible is rock solid.

Study the Word, attend a good church and grow up in the faith.

Become the wonderful person that a wonderful person would want to marry and let it happen.

God is not responsible for messages in your dreams but he WILL do what it says in the Bible.

Please, Trinitylove, God loves you so much and wants to help you in the most practical ways.

Let him.

Rachel R

Sweetheart, I know how very overwelming and disappointing it must be when it seems like God is not hearing or answering your prayer. Truth is He knows exactly what we need and at the time that we need it. While I do not think that there is anything wrong with your desiring to be married I do know that God is not pleased when we place something ahead of even Him. God will take care of every aspect of your life that you can count on. God will prepare you for what He has for you. If that be marriage then He will prepare you for that. I believe in God's word. I believe it is unfallible and we can trust it. Desiring a mate does not go against His word. Believe His word and continue to live. Get busy with the things of God. Delight yourself in Him. He heard you and He knows your heart. He loves you so much. I feel the pain in your email. Bless you.

Pretty much He's removed that desire from me....but not because He is saying I am not to get married. But because I have pressed into Him and made HIM my husband. You can not get rid of the desire just because you want to. You have to press into God and make Him everything in EVERY area. As you progress in getting closer and closer to Him, you want or "need" marriage less and less.

I do want marriage, the marriage GOD has for me. But I am not desperate about it. I know that a man can not solve my problems or make me happy. I must look to Jesus The Author And Finisher Of My Faith for that.

It seems you are just as desperate to get rid of the desire to marry as many are to marry. Neither is the answer. Doing what God wants is the answer. Pursuing and seeking A PERSON is NEVER God's will for us. His will is that we seek and pursue HIM. In the process, you may meet a man, who is pursuing and seeking God, too, and God may bring the two of you together. But God must be FIRST, ALWAYS. Get your priorities right! Make up your mind that HE will be Your first love! And instead of praying that He will remove your desire to marry, pray that He will fill you with a desire for HIM! I used to pray that I would not desire to marry, too, but it was in DRAWING NEAR TO GOD that the desire took it's proper place in my priorities.

I am not agianst marrying. But I also do not make it the top goal of my life. I do not let my desire to be married control my actions. I am not desperate for marriage; I am desperate for God.

It is God that must take pre-eminence (sp?) in everything. If it is His will for you to marry, than you need to obey. If it God's will for you to remain single, then you need to obey. But I would just turn this whole area over to God....contiually, as I had to do. I had to let go my desperate desire to get married and now I see things in a more mature light: I know that if I do get married, it will not be to fill the void in myself or heal the unwholeness in me or to try to complete myself or find my other half. I AM NOT half a person. I am whole in Christ! And that's all you need move toward -- wholeness in Christ -- and everything else will fall into place.

Praying that you are broken of the bondage to cigarettes as well.

I apologize, Trinitylove.

I didn't pray for your requests.

I commented and fussed at you.

I am sorry, please forgive me.

Lord, I come to you in prayer for Trinitylove.


I ask you to ease her heart and remove the burden and the pressure she is feeling about marriage.

We put this into your hands, Lord, and trust you with it.

I bless her with grace and mercy and peace and joy in her life.

Please help her find the root cause of her desire to smoke and to pull that root up and so that she can be free, in Jesus' Name.

Bless her and her little children.

In Jesus' Name, Amen.
