Introduction
Intercessors, prophets and prayer warriors are not people that joke with scriptures, because of the wonders the right scripture can bring into an otherwise tough spiritual warfare battle.
These servants of God will never start a spiritual battle without arranging their weapons of legal technicality - THE WILL OF GOD on the matter of concern. You are asking God for a virtuous woman for marriage - the question is - Where is it written that you should get married, and to a virtuous woman?.
Once you find where it is written, it means your prayers will fall in line with God's will for your life and the problem is half solved. Every wailing man or woman understands the importance of reminding God of His word and asking Him to bless you based on His word, such scriptures can bring down the walls of "Jericho" in hours.
Therefore, when you are tired of a problem, locate where the will of God on that matter is written and get into the spiritual battle to change the situation. God cannot deny His word, neither will His word fall to the ground. Ignorant Christians pray for promotion without increasing their knowledge about the Word of God and prayer to contend with the new devil their promotion will bring.
Every new level in life brings a new devil around. To break spiritual yokes, you must persist in prayer till the enemy is wearied and gives-up on you. Isaac told his firstborn Esau the only time he can break the yoke of his brother Jacob over his head will be when he gets restless, else Esau would have to serve Jacob for life. Genesis 27:40

Pray also according to His promises – Search out the promises of God that relate to your need and use them as a good basis for your request. There are God’s promises for your Protection, Family, Health, Marriage, Prosperity, Deliverance etc.
Prayer has some rules and assurances to the one praying.
If there is a man to pray, the God of heaven will answer, but you must ask in faith, with no doubting, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind. For that person must not suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord.
Ask what you want - And I tell you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened. What father among you, if his son asks for a fish, will instead of a fish give him a serpent; or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion? If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!”
Don't be anxious - There is yet another rule for prayer, which says "Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. The moment you become anxious while praying or after praying, it means you don't have faith that God will answer the prayer.
Address your sin - You should know that God does not listen to sinners, but if anyone is a worshiper of God and does his will, God listens to him. W walk in obedience to the Word of God and forsake evil sin and evil way, so that when you pray, we can be sure the Lord has heard us. If He does not hear our prayer due to our sin, such prayers would not be answered. Notice that because of sin, we are drawn away from God.
God is near you - Whoever is praying to God should know that the Lord is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth. He fulfills the desire of those who fear him; he also hears their cry and saves them. The Lord is near to all who call to Him in truth, however, He answers the cry of those that fear Him - Psalms 145. This truth should inspire confidence in you as it is written: This is the confidence that we have toward him, that if we ask anything according to his will he hears us.
God hates Eyes service - God does not like eye service and He does not want to see such hypocritical behaviour, that is why He says “Beware of practicing your righteousness before other people in order to be seen by them, for then you will have no reward from your Father who is in heaven. “Thus, when you give to the needy, sound no trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may be praised by others.
Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward. But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that your giving may be in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you. “And when you pray, you must not be like the hypocrites. For they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and at the street corners, that they may be seen by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward.
Pray always - Remember that a Christian ought always to pray and not lose heart. He said, “In a certain city there was a judge who neither feared God nor respected man. And there was a widow in that city who kept coming to him and saying, ‘Give me justice against my adversary.’ For a while he refused, but afterwards he said to himself, ‘Though I neither fear God nor respect man, yet because this widow keeps bothering me, I will give her justice so that she will not beat me down by her continual coming.’” ...
Be Humble - “Two men went up into the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. The Pharisee, standing by himself, prayed thus: ‘God, I thank you that I am not like other men, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even like this tax collector. I fast twice a week; I give tithes of all that I get.’ But the tax collector, standing far off, would not even lift up his eyes to heaven, but beat his breast, saying, ‘God, be merciful to me, a sinner!’ I tell you, this man went down to his house justified, rather than the other. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but the one who humbles himself will be exalted.”
Be compassionate - If you turn away your ears from the cry of the poor, from hearing the word of God, even your prayer is an abomination unto the Lord.
Forgive - And whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone, so that your Father also who is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.”
Pray also for the Nation and its leaders - First of all, If my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land. I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people, for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way. This is good, and it is pleasing in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.
What to Do:
It is the will of God that you should get married when you are ready and have children as there is no barren among His children. It is also the will of God that husband and wife should live till death do them part - So you have to resist every attempt by the devil to separate your marriage with the scriptures and stop every divorce or unhappy trend in your marriage.
What about your children being difficult and unteachable - It is in God's will that children should honour (Which includes) to obey their parent and be a blessing to them - and not a curse. So resist every strange behaviour of your children with the scriptures, contending in prayers till you win the matter.
Get restless, how long will you manage a bad situation, when the power is already given to you to change what you do not like. Use the scriptures to contend with every unpleasant situation and victory will be yours sooner than you can imagine.
Why you should Pray
When it comes to prayer, the Lord is
ready and willing to answer all our prayers, especially according to our
faith. If you believe and pray to God concerning anything, He would
answer you, that your joy may be full. He says "If my people who are
called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from
their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and
heal their land".
And this should be the confidence
that motivates you to pray continually and at any time you have needs. It
is written that "if we ask anything according to his will he hears us. And
if we know that he hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have the
requests that we have asked of him".
So, do not be anxious about
anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let
your requests be made known to God. What you need to do is to trust in the Lord
and His promises. If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask
whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.
Pray without ceasing,
and whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it
will be yours. Remember that if you will begin to pray and all the time, the
Spirit Himself will help our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for
as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep
for words.
But when you pray, go into your room
and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret. And your Father who
sees in secret will reward you. Keep praying and keep asking what you
want because it is written, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you
will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.
You know the reason why you should
pray boldly to the Lord, it is because He has already promised to answer you
when you call to Him. He says "Call to me and I will answer you, and
will tell you great and hidden things that you have not known".
Watch and pray that you may not
enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.”
Especially, pray at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and
supplication. To that end keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication
for all the saints,
FIRE...
