Hi @TLHKAJ Prayer and the Scriptures in a young man's life might ultimately lead to the Lord bringing him together with someone who will become His Christian wife, but first and foremost what Paul says in 1 Thessalonians 4.3 applies: "For this is the will of God, even your sanctification".If you're alone on a deserted island and want a wife, you better pray or you'll most likely never marry. Lol
Do you pray at all? Do you read the Bible? I have to wonder, because you have little faith in God's willingness to hear and answer prayer. And you disregard scripture that has been posted that instructs us to pray and ask God when we have needs. If having a wife is a need, consider what scripture says about needs.
Philippians 4:19
[19]But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
If you don't ask, you're not going to receive.
James 4:2-3
[2]Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not.
[3]Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts.
And if lack faith in God, start reading the Bible. The scripture below explains how that reading and hearing God's Word increases our ability to hear His voice. And hearing His voice brings faith.
Romans 10:17
[17]So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
