Hi, Like so many of the other comments, I don't like to think of the prospect of being alone as I get older. But I do know that the only way I will have a wife is if she is part of the Lord's will in my life. My life has been so blessed since I had Jesus living within and I don't want to mess that up by wandering off by my own desires. I just know Seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness... That's what I intend to do. Of course it would be great if while I am devoted to His kingdom he grants me a God fearing,Jesus following,Holy Ghost indwelled Lady. Am I asking too much ? hahaha hope not. Praise God, Doug

Hello all and GOD bless. I am truly blessed to have found this sight. I just broke up with my boyfriend of 9 years. It was hard but I know that it was the right thing because I truly feel peace in my heart.

Hi. I just joined this group today. About a year ago I became single again due to some things I found out about him. It was a bad situation. Praise God He has brought me through and made me stronger in my walk with Him.

There are points in my life that I feel truly blessed that I am single. Ive learned that this is God's plan for me, I believe he has many wonderful things in store for my life. What makes it difficult for me are the times I go out and I see couples so happy and in love, It makes me happy to see love, although I yearn to have that one day, and perhaps if that day never comes then I will have to accept God's will.

Hi, I just want to say hello cuz I'm new to this group. I'm not new to the single arena, though. I think I've come to realize that God's plan is higher than my plan, and if He sees it fit to keep me single, then so be it, I trust His judgment. However, it certainly does seem like a lonely life to live when considering how many years I probably have left in this world. What really gets me is the thought of being old and alone, not so much that I am now alone. I can handle it now in my life. It's actually kind of good for me, I think. But, when I'm old, what will it be like without a partner? That worries me..never to have even memories of a life partner, as some have because they were widowed. In my case, I've never been married and have no particular prospects. EEEkkks

Well i believe the time has come for some people to leave this group and join the marrieds group (IF THERE IS ANY) . Surely we dont serve a silent God. Our God is mighty in battle. For how long do we cry out without receive any answer. For some people the doors have been opened. In this season you are going to
walk right through into your marriage. I believe in a God who answers prayers. We have been knocking and God has opened the door. I thank God nights of loneliness are coming to an end.i pray for spiritual eyes that we will not settle for Ishmael but see issac when he comes. No more delay in the name of Jesus. Yes its the most unlikely people who have been faithful to God. The unlikely people. GOD IS ABLE AMEN AND AMEN

I'm reading the comments here with much interest and I agree, its better to wait on God.

Before being saved, I read many books and articles on dating and dating advice and a lot of them were focused on playing games in order to establish "independence". I think there's some truth in this: I think for us men, women are attracted by independence. But I couldn't exactly do it!

Ironically, after being saved and placing God first in my life, I now have to beat women off with a stick! I believe that's due to His work in me and I believe women find that attractive, but I also know that Satan would want me to be unequally yoked. I learned the hard way that no person should come between my walk with God. I should have to reject my spouse if they try, per the Savior's words in Matthew 19:29 and other places. I think whoever He has for me will not try to interfere with that (although I don't think she'll be perfect either).

Honestly, I'm a major advocate of deliverance ministry before marriage. I practice courtship and thus do not believe the relationship should be physical before then. Actually, the OT has two forms of marriage -- betrothal (dedication without sexual relationships) and consummation (the consummation of the betrothal).

I'll probably write more about this on my blog, if people are interested.

So true Hannah I believe that if we are meant to have a partner God will do the choosing. I've found out recently that when you let your guard down your heart can be easily broken. I'm doing a discipleship class this weekend on Ruth I am looking forward to it. I've been divorced for 17 years and never dreamed I would find love again. I wrote a ministry blog on my experience with Internet Dating and what God thinks about that and how it can effect your walk with God when you don't use discernment in choosing a mate. I took my focus off God and on my friend and it caused alot of heartache for me. I have let God take my life and do the chosing now because he knows whats best for me. Only God can bring me happiness and love that I seek. I live to serve God and I will know when I finally meet my rose because the Lord will send him to me.

I know the loneliness and the rejection I had felt it most of my life but only God brought me out those pits and He loves me unconditionally and I have that assurance that He will not leave or dismay me. I've not met my Boaz but it would be nice to have that devotion and love from a mate that God chooses for me. LIfe is way too short to live in a miserable relationship so I will accept whatever God wants for my life I still have friends and family that love me and bring happiness to my heart.

well guys waiting is good, but i believe position also plays an impotant part. You need to be rightfully positioned for you to meet your partner. Ladies lets look at Ruth. She positioned herself well in Boaz's field. Rebbecca was at the well when she met Abraham's servant. only when you start doing something in the kingdom will you meet the right person.There in your area of purpose. Sometimes we also look too far and search too deep. Look around you. Maybe the person you are looking for is just near by. So yes let's WATCH and pray.. I repeat WATCH andd pray. My eyes are wide open. LOL
