Quick prayer request

[Cherubpuff]

I think im at the point of totally losing all hope.

I've been single all my life, had a couple opportunities which i foolishly passed thinking god would send me someone better or godly or whatever, ( i don't even know what i was thinking)!

Its been very bad emotionally the last few year but its come to climax this year, in particular this month of may.. I've actually asked out more girls this month then i have my entire life and even though I tell myself i will get used to rejection, its just not happening. Yes, Im lowering my standards to ungodly women, I'm that desperate. I just don't care any more.

I know how to talk to women , they just dont care for me or find me attractive.

What makes it worse is the fact that that the women i've worked with or had any type of social relationship with all really like me but none would ever want to date or see me.

My life is now a living nightmare, I feel nothing but hurt, pain and loneliness beyond what any any human should be subjected to throughout an entire lifetime.

I'm losing faith fast and its all because of this mess I've put myself into. I'm not getting any younger and i never thought that i'd be at this age and still single. I'm actually feeling embarrassed for myself.

I just need someone to pray to end this. I don't even care anymore if im gonna be single my entire miserable life, i just want this desire GONE so I can live my life without feeling this hellish pain.

My prayers have been ineffective and I no longer have anything left in me.

Hi Cherubpuff,

Isaiah40:30-31 Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall, But those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint.

Psalm27:14 Wait on the Lord; Be of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart; Wait I say on the Lord!

you have stated the problem pretty clearly my friend...you have put yourself into this mess by not waiting on the Lord...when we as humans try to take things into our own hands and make them happen themselves..that is when we end up heading for a big fall.
Remember what happened when samson decided to go do what he wanted instead of listening to God and his parents about the kind of woman he was to marry.. he went instead and decided on delilah a woman God had not ordained for him and what happened...he took a great fall...he ended up with his hair cut losing his strength, having his eyes put out and ended up a slave...all because why..he chose do what he wanted instead of what God wanted...talk about a pretty high price to pay for wanting to do for self instead of waiting on and listening to God.

The best advice anyone could give you is this..stop dwelling on what you don't have and on what you do which is God in heaven and all He has given you and I know there must be alot of blessings He has given you and there are many more to come in your future. Stop worrying about women and how long you will be single instead concentrate on God..take this time when you are single and use it to grow closer to God. In doing this He will prepare you for that woman He has chosen for you and will lead you to.

As the above verses from the bible tell us... when we wait on the Lord He will strengthen our hearts, we shall not be weary and we shall walk and not faint...be of good courage and wait on Our Lord my friend. I don't know how old you are but I can tell
you I am 41 and have made bad choices in men all my life which only ended up in more emotional hurt than I can tell you...then along came a man 3 years back who I fell for big time and yet I didn't take the chance and ended up letting him go..why you ask? well, because he had alot of problems to deal with in his life and at that time was not saved...as much as I cared I decided to let him walk away and let God deal with him. I've learned to be content my friend...content in Jesus even though at present time I am single. I have a wonderful life and wonderful blessings and Yes I am waiting on the Lord to lead the man whom he has chosen for me into my life and this time I'm doing it God's way not my own way. One will never be sorry when they listen and do things according to our Lord and wait upon Him.

You said you prayed and it hasn't worked...maybe its because God knows what you ask is not what He wants for you right now but instead He wants you to focus on Him and the relationship you have with Him...when you pray present your needs and wants to Him
as you do but also let Him know that its His will you want for your life not your own will. Everything we have, will have, everything we are and will be is by His will not our own and that's how it has to be there is no other way.

Satan is attacking and wants you to be stuck in a pity party for yourself. he wants you to believe his lies that have come in the form of words from others...but you can defeat him and let him know that you are not going to listen to or believe his lies anymore that you are a blood bought child of the King of Kings! In the name of Jesus rebuke satan and his lies and then dig out your bible and read for the word of God is how we overcome satan and His lies. Remember Jesus when tempted replied to satan over and over " It is written"He Himself used the word of God and therefore He expects us to use the very written word of His truth too.

Lean on God and His understanding not your own, take this time in your life to grow closer to God to fall in love with Him more and more and deepen the relationship that you have with Him and then WAIT! WAIT I SAY ON THE LORD!

I'll be praying for you my friend! God bless and keep you always!

I know it's hard, but release this desire to God.

In His perfect time He will either make you feel complete with Him only or fulfill this, by giving you a helpmate that fully meets your needs.

God IS able & willing - are you willing to leave it in His compatent hands?
