Even if you have been a single woman for a long time now, you may still be considering plans to marry in the future. The most important question follows: “Who will be my husband?” Thinking about marriage can be both thrilling, exciting, and scary for a single woman. There are so many uncertainties ahead. However, having God beside you on the journey of life keeps you secured, at peace, and expectant towards the future because He is a good Heavenly Father who knows how to give good gifts to His children, including a good and godly husband.
As a single woman hoping to be married someday, you can pray to God for your future husband in this manner:
Heavenly Father, thank You for already knowing my plans and desires of marrying in the future and having a family that glorifies You. I feel the beat of Your heart as You plan to give me a wonderful future and hope in Christ Jesus regarding this matter. I pray that You bring me a man who is after Your heart, one who loves the Lord above all and knows his identity and value in Christ. I bless this man I will marry someday. Thank You for his life, and I pray that when the right time unfolds, I will meet him, and Your presence will manifest in our midst. I surrender to You, my future husband, in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Even if you haven’t yet met the one you will marry, you can begin praying for his soul and declaring blessings to his life and the promises of God. In due time, you will eat the fruit of your words in prayer (see Proverbs 18:21).
How do I wait in the Lord for my future husband as a single woman?
Being single is a great gift from God; this is a time to build yourself up in the Lord and get to know more about your true identity, value, and worth as a woman anchored through faith in Christ Jesus and the Word of God. Ecclesiastes 12:1 says, Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw nigh, when thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them.

You can do many things as you wait in the Lord for your future husband as a single woman. You can engage in ministry and serve the Lord with undivided attention. When you give your whole heart to the Lord and your full attention to Him, serving Him and His people passionately, you build a strong intimacy and relationship with God that won’t ever change, even after you are married. God remains number one in your heart, and there’s no room for idolatry in your marriage. You can also focus on building friendships and surrounding yourself with godly women who may share the same passions as yours. If you have a career, a passion, or a hobby, you may spend your time working on these while enjoying life as a single person. After all, when you get married, you will soon have kids and may no longer have the time to do whatever you want.
You can do many things while you wait in the Lord for the right time of marriage. Waiting doesn’t necessarily mean not doing anything, but rather resting in God’s presence, knowing that He is in charge of things beyond your control, such as the right time for marriage and meeting the one your soul loves. You can be productive, bearing the fruits of Jesus Christ, even as you wait in the Lord.
How can I spend my time with the Lord while waiting for His perfect timing?
Waiting is always challenging, especially when you have a timeline of your future plans. However, it is always best to surrender all your plans to the Lord and let Him direct your paths. In the end, His purpose alone will prevail (Many are the plans in a person’s heart, but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails. Proverbs 19:21). God is too wise to make a mistake. He knows when your heart is ready for the lifetime commitment called marriage, and at the same time, the man you desire is also being prepared by the Lord.

While you wait for God’s perfect timing, you can spend your time with the Lord by equipping yourself to be a godly wife in the future. You can learn wisdom from godly couples who may share insights and experiences that you can learn from for your future marriage. You can also study and dig deeper into God’s Word, as this will help you someday in your marriage. You can do many things to prepare for your marriage as a single woman. The rest will simply follow as you build a deeper relationship with God. As mentioned earlier, you may also engage in ministry, serving in your church and local community as you wait for God’s perfect timing to play out.
Know that your future is safe and secure in God’s hands. As you surrender this plan and desire to marry a wonderful husband in the future to the Lord, He will not fail in guiding you, protecting you, and giving you the desires of your heart.
“Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart” (Psalm 37:4).
