Beloved of All
Asking for the Lord to please help me with my goal of having a soulmate. There is someone in my life currently that I care about but I'm scared I might have ruined things, or may end up getting hurt and I don't want to hurt in this area anymore. I don't want this void anymore. I understand God comes first and that is why I am asking Him to please let this connection lead to something more beautiful, something I've prayed about. I had a different feeling with this person in comparison to other people I've had feelings for before. We have known each other a few years but have been talking a lot for the last few months, and it is a situation where we are in separate states. He is here visiting and we were intimate at least one instance during his visit. I felt a connection and he seemed affectionate. Things always seem natural and wonderful when I am with him in person, or talking with him online/on the phone. I have waited for a long time to find love and it's the one thing I want in my life more than anything, second only to my mother having the best health that she can. I have so much love I want to give. I've changed and reviewed my personal dating standards many times. I feel so ready for love and I keep getting let down each time no matter what I do. I end up getting scared because I don't want to get hurt again. I get that pain and trials and tribulations are a part of life, but I don't know if I can tolerate anymore pain in this area of my life. The fear and anxiety that stems from this is crippling. (Having an anxiety disorder diagnosis does not help.) Everyone tells me to do things for myself and it's literally ALL I HAVE BEEN DOING MY ENTIRE LIFE. I want to share my life with someone. Have a new home with them. Potentially start a family. I don't want to run anymore. I don't want to cry about this anymore unless it's from sheer joy. Having a life partner is the one thing I've always wanted in my life. More than money or the nicest material things said money could buy. I hate that I have had more experience with showing off my body on occasion online than I have experienced true intimate love. I am so embarrassed by this. Showing off for a few words of praise and positive attention isn't love. I only did that in an attempt to fill some of the void that being single and lonely leaves…but it never really did. It was just one cheap thrill after another. And although these instances were occasional, again, they outweigh the amount of love I have felt or was able to share with another partner. It just would not make sense to me that God would make me a romantic and loving person, but leave me lonely. All the while, talking with men during intimate moments, on or offline…they don’t understand how I’ve been alone all of this time and am a natural at being a loving person. It makes me feel isolated from everyone else. If any of this pain and fear I’m experiencing is karma for anything I did in the past, whether the cyber sexual activity or a white lie or how I handled a toxic ex…whatever it is, I am truly sorry and am asking forgiveness for whatever the situation is that is incriminating me. I’m not sure what other lesson there is for me to learn. I get that my anxiety is bad, but I am between jobs and until I can start my health insurance and look into how that will work at my new job…I can’t afford to see a therapist at this moment and I know free therapy will only help so much. I don’t want to wait until I’m old and it doesn’t matter to anyone any more to live my dreams and truly start the next phase of my life. Ii have begged got for this mentally for years, and now I’m doing it verbally and physically too. Lord, please don’t let this fall apart. Please let this work out. I’m ready for love. I’m ready to share my soul. I have nothing to hide. Please, God, I’m giving you this situation. Please don’t let this be another mistake. Please don’t let me have to live my life believing that I’m not meant to have love, because we as humans were not defined to be alone. They always say that people want to have loving relationships for the wrong reasons. Sex/intimacy is beautiful, and it would be nice to share a home and things with someone…but it’s like God taught us….sharing LOVE with other people is a beautiful thing. And if nothing else in this life outside of my mom’s health, the one thing I would love more than anyone else in the world (and I’m hoping I’m on the right track for this)….is to be someone’s other half and spend the rest of our lives together. Lord, I’m asking You to PLEASE let this go well. PLEASE let this have a better outcome. All I’ve ever known is cheap thrills, hurt, and anxiety. I want to move on from all of this and I believe this guy and I crossed paths for a reason. Lord, PLEASE let this work. Please help me with this. Amen.
