1
Hey everyone, today we're talking about praying for your future spouse.
2
What's that about?
3
Should you do it?
4
Why or why not?
5
Hey, we're Jackie and Bobby Angel with Ascension Presents.
6
So, praying for your future spouse.
7
Well, St. Paul, I think he would say you should.
8
It says in Philippians, in chapter 4, verse 6, It says, have no anxiety about anything, but in everything, everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving,
9
let your requests be made known to God and the peace of God, which passes all understanding will keep your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
10
You know, some people are like, oh, praying for your future spouse is ridiculous or it makes me anxious or whatever.
11
Like I shouldn't be thinking about the future.
12
It's like, listen, if you're going to talk about this with anybody else, then you absolutely should be talking about it with God because prayer is just conversation with God.
13
So first of all, God is outside of time.
14
So if you are called to marriage, he knows who your future spouse is.
15
So of course, yes, pray for your future spouse.
16
But also if this gives you anxiety, thinking about the future, I think prayer is, again, you're communicating this with God, whatever is on your heart,
17
whether you are anxious about it, whether you are excited about it, whether you're feeling lonely, all of that should be given to God in prayer.
18
Everything.
19
And I would say too that just as we would pray for our health or our finances or our our job, you know, our future, we should also then give the other person
20
that we're going to be aligned with to God in prayer.
21
That they're being formed, that they're being a whole person, that they're being blessed in whatever they're going through,
22
wherever they are, whenever we will get to be with them and unite.
23
You know, there's no church document on soulmates.
24
Like, we don't subscribe to, like, the uber romantic Hollywood idea of a soulmate, but nor is it just a cold detachment either.
25
God is guiding all things.
26
God has his providential hand in our lives, you know, in the mystery of how that aligns with our free will, that we are deciding our lives here.
27
But God absolutely has a hand and cares who we marry, who we end up with, because that's going to affect generations upon generations.
28
Part of prayer is a detachment.
29
It's really saying, God, I trust you.
30
I trust you with my future.
31
I trust you in your plans.
32
It's a detachment.
33
It's learning how to be detached from the world.
34
We have these desires, which are good.
35
A lot of people desire marriage and family to have kids and that's beautiful, but you know what?
36
We're not guaranteed any of those.
37
You guys, we're not even guaranteed tomorrow.
38
Everything in prayer, it should be, we offer to God and we say, God, I'm all yours.
39
I belong to you and I want what you want.
40
Even that modern obsession we have with romance and marriage and we turn it into an idol, like that's going to satisfy the aches of our hearts.
41
That's going to, I ride off into the sunset on my wedding day and then it's eternal bliss.
42
It's like, no. But I mean, yes, of course, with you, honey.
43
Yes, always, of course.
44
It's really a call again, Jesus, I trust in you, I place this in your hands.
45
Help me not to make this marriage into an idol.
46
Help me not to make this other person into an idol.
47
I'll be happy when this happens.
48
Like, God wants us to live in the here and now, whatever may come, if we're blessed with a long life or we're not.
49
So that could be journaling for them, that could be doing a rosary for them daily, that could be just, again, quiet prayer.
50
If this is an exercise you're brushing aside, like, oh, this is dumb, this is stupid.
51
What's going on there?
52
Is it that I don't really trust in God, that God cares enough?
53
So I don't really think he cares about my happiness or the well-being of my life?
54
Or maybe you don't think God wants you to be happier at all.
55
Yeah, maybe that's going on.
56
Maybe, you know, for my own experience, it could be like you're too attached to your lust.
57
I'm too attached to the way I'm living because to give that up to God, to give my romantic life to God would mean I have to surrender it.
58
And if that's something that I'm, no, no, that's mine.
59
Like, I'll give you some other things, God, but not this thing over here.
60
It could be a sign of, the flippancy could be a sign of, well, I don't want God to take over this part, which is really like, this is where he needs to come in
61
and clean house and rearrange some stuff in my life right now.
62
Both of us, before we got married, we both knew that God was the one, like God was the one who satisfied every part of our hearts.
63
We weren't looking for each other to do that.
64
We both are in love with each other and love each other, but our whole goal in our marriage is to get each
65
other to heaven to get each other closer to god really that's that's the goal of our marriage
66
and so we are not god we don't idolize each other um he is my best friend
67
but at the same time it's like we both know
68
that god is the one who's going to satisfy our hearts
69
and that when you pray again draw near to it says i think it's james draw near to god
70
and he will draw near to you i'm just going to leave you again with a scripture verse
71
if you have struggles with you know the future
72
and discernment write this down philippians chapter 4 verse 6 to 7 have no anxiety about anything
73
but in everything by prayer
74
and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to god
75
and the peace of god which passes all understanding will keep your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.
76
That's the goal.
77
The goal of prayer for anything is to keep your heart
78
and mind in Christ Jesus and to really say with your future, your vocation, Jesus, I trust in you.
79
Whatever you were calling me to do, whatever it is, if it's for a spouse and family, if it's to give myself fully to you, Jesus, I trust in you.
80
Thanks for watching.
81
We hope you enjoyed it please check out Ascension's other resources to help you on your walk with Christ.

為何這段影片是優質口語素材？
這段關於“為未來伴侶祈禱”的影片對話自然流暢，語速適中，涵蓋日常口語表達與宗教文化詞彙，非常適合英語學習者提升發音和語感。內容圍繞真實情感與信仰展開，句子結構多樣，既有簡單句也有複合句，能幫助學習者熟悉不同語境下的表達邏輯。同時，對話中包含“anxiety”“providential”等實用詞彙，結合具體場景更容易理解記憶，是練習雅思口語的優質素材。
拆解自然表達，學習地道口語
1. “Hey everyone, today we're talking about praying for your future spouse.” 開頭用口語化的“Hey everyone”拉近距離，“talking about”直接引入主題，符合日常交流習慣，避免生硬。
2. “It says in Philippians, in chapter 4, verse 6, It says, have no anxiety about anything...” 重複“it says”雖看似簡單，卻真實還原了說話者引用經文時的自然狀態，體現口語表達的靈活性。
3. “Like, we don't subscribe to, like, the uber romantic Hollywood idea of a soulmate.” 句中兩個“like”為填充詞，是英語口語中常見的停頓方式，使表達更自然，避免過於正式。
4. “That could be journaling for them, that could be doing a rosary for them daily, that could be just, again, quiet prayer.” 用“that could be”排比結構，清晰列舉不同祈禱方式，邏輯嚴謹且口語化。
影子跟讀練習法，提升英語發音
利用這段影片進行英語影子跟讀練習，可按以下步驟操作：首先，完整觀看影片，熟悉內容與語速；然後，逐句播放，每句暫停後立即跟讀，模仿發音、語調與節奏，重點關注“anxiety”“providential”等詞的發音；最後，使用shadowing site錄製自己的跟讀音訊，對比原音，修正發音細節。每天堅持15分鐘，不僅能提高英語發音，還能增強口語流暢度，尤其適合雅思口語練習。通過shadow speech訓練，學習者能逐漸掌握自然口語的表達習慣，提升交流能力。
影片中的語法
說話人最常用的結構，並附上影片中的原話：
| 結構 | 影片中的用法 |
|---|---|
| 被動語態 be + 過去分詞 — 強調發生了什麼，而不是誰做的 | be made · are called · should be given |
| 定語從句 who / which + 從句 — 補充說明人或事物 | desires, which are · part, which is · one who satisfied |
| 用 “should” 提建議 should + 動詞 — 表示應該做的事 | Should you do · shouldn't be · should be |
| 過去進行時 was/were + -ing — 過去某一時刻正在進行的動作 | weren't looking · were calling |
什麼是跟讀法？
跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧，最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓，並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大：您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同，跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性，語調，節奏，連讀，聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
