Prayer Circles

Don't give up hope! God will guide you to your soulmate eventually. May He do it as soon as possible, and prepare you and him for that day! Amen.

First of all being alone isn't all that bad. It gives you time to figure out who you really are and what you really want. But I do understand what you are feeling, I felt the same way about 7 1/2 years ago, right before I met my true soulmate and now my husband. I had given up on any relationships with me, I decided I was going to go to work, come home and spend all my time with my daughter (i was a single parent at that time). Then one day my cousin called begging me to go out with her and a couple friends to celebrate her birthday. I repeatedly told her "no" over and over again, until she finally convinced me. I had not been "out" in months, especially to the place where we went, which I used to go at least twice a week for a year. Always found meaningless relationships, and alot of sin!! But this one particular night and remember I had committed to myself to give up on trying to "look" for anyone special until after my daughter was much older or even grown..she was 13 at the time. This one night I seen the most amazing, mystious, handsome, sexy man I have ever layed my eyes on. We watched each other all night, but never talked. I didn't want to talk to him in that environment, and I was there for my cousin's birthday. So I wrote him a note and told him I'd thought he was very handsome and would love to get to know him better, but that night was not good and to call me the next day. I waited all day for him to call the next day (Friday), he called we talked for hours. We decided to have lunch on Sunday. We dated for 8 months and 7 years later he is my husband. Moral is...it, or he, will come to you when you least suspect. Believe me I kissed alot of toads before I found my Prince. There is someone out there for you, just relax and let him come to you. Meanwhile I will keep you in my prayers. I know LOVE is one of the greatest gifts of all. Hang in there, there are happier days ahead. I will put you in my prayers each night, I'd like to get an update if possible.
Love,

Lord Jesus I pray for Trena to be patient and wait on you Lord. You have the right person for her. May she be strengthen in the inner most part of her being. My soul wait thou only upon God, for my expectation is from him.(Psalm 62:5). Trust in the Lord with all thine heart, and lean not unto thine own understanding, In ALL thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.(Proverbs 3:5,6). In Jesus Name. Amen

I'm praying for you too. I'm in the same situation. Thought I met the "One" and he was just a user. I must leave it alone and pray that the Good Lord will take care of my future and yours.

I pray that God will give you strength to get through this difficult time. I pray that you will seek hope through Him

Father, please help Trena to find contentment in her time with herself and in her relationship with you. Let this be a time of spiritual and emotional growth to better prepare her for the right person when he comes along and at the same time to better serve you.

Trena, I waited four years from the time I left an abusive relationship until the time my husband came along. While it is my pattern to go a long time between relationships and have most of my involvements be serious, knowing this didn't make it less lonely. You are not alone in your loneliness! There are probably a thousand others like you within a few minutes of you. Unfortunately, we can't wear signs that make us recognize one another! I lost Bill earlier this year, but he gave me the best nine years of my life, and I would go through everything it took to find him over again if it meant more time with him.
Remember, God generally doesn't say "No." He may say "not yet," or "I have something better in mind."

I have been there as well, Trena. God will give you the strength you need to work through all the pain and loneliness you are feeling right now. Don't give up; a better day will come... I promise!!

wow, Trena, I think we were to meet. i just had the man I thought I would spend the rest of my life with tell me to hit the road and not to contact him again in so many words. it is hard to be alone, I have been down that road before, it doesn't get any easier the older you get, I am now in my 40's. I know in my heart that God knew it wasn't the right relationship for me. I am to wait on the one that he has for me, and you should wait on the one he has for you. in the mean time, my only suggestion to you is that you find solace in the Lords' arms, go to him with your pain, and let him know that you want a life partner to ease your lonliness, keep your walk with God a very special thing, God knows what is best for his children and we just have to wait on him. I will keep you in my prayers and as time goes on the pain will ease and when the right man comes into your life you will no longer remember what this pain right now feels like. also; if that doesn't happen, perhaps it is because Gods' purpose is to use you for others who are single that you may be able to help in some way. Just let the Lords' will be done.

Dear treena, God only knows how much we are alike right now. I too am suffering and I am so lonely too. Seems like everywhere i go and everything i do,I see US. I have this longing so deep to just see him, hear his voice,see his smile, touch his hair, ANYTHING!! Mine had someone he lived with and her daughter for seven years. We were and to me, still are perfect for eachother but although I can compete with "her", i can in no way compete with a child. You see, she found out about us and i can almost be sure she held that child over his head. I never wanted to keep him from the child but i know he cares for me but can't leave them. I feel so helpless and empty. I too want prayers and sweetie i pray for you. It is so hard i know and although i have no real answers you are not alone today. we will get better with each day and i know there is still hopes and dreams of you two together again, but will you be able to forget or "unfeel" this pain enough for things to be "the same" again. I honestly don't thing so. This experience changes us inside. those loving feelings have been bruised and no matter how many "lets start overs' we try we'll always be terrified that at some point something will happen and we will feel all those extremely painfull times once again. We will always be afraid with "him". Can i be truely be happy with him if i am constantly in fear of the pain? i don't really think so.I guess we should be greatful that without them we don't have to feel the fear and pain we are feeling forever. It will get better...lets put away those pictures on our nightstand, our shelves, our walls and maybe our hearts will not feel so heavy. Take care of yourself. By the way, in writing this to you, i actually found some strength inside. See, maybe nt to him, but you have made a difference in someones life with your "love"...mine! Thank you!
