Working Through Things...

blueandwhite · Jul 30, 2013

I am working through things, and currently it seems like everything all at once! I know many Biblical truths however my state of emotions are caught up lately in self- pity which often contradict what the Bible teaches. I'm a single woman living at home with her parents ( for different reasons), never married and never had children. I keep myself closed off in my bedroom most nights because I like spending time alone and but I feel shut off to the world. Don't know my place in the world right now. I don't relate to the girls my age any longer as all my girlfriends are married with children now and exclude me from things they participate in. Single girls about my age are caught up in the bar scene and I don't want to be caught in that life style. The men who want to know me are usually unhealthy in one way or another and so I maintain boundaries, or at least try too. I have lived like this for almost 2 years now. I exercise every day so that I don't fall into a bad depression but I feel extremely alone. It's easy for me to feel sorry for myself but I know God doesn't want me to stay in this place and I don't have good enough reasons to pity myself. I pray daily, read my bible or devotion daily, attend Bible study ( all older women). Im just really having a hard time. The one guy I want to get to know, who God is blessing a friendship with and is a christian, he only responds if I initiate- So, now I am choosing to sit back in waiting I guess to see if he ever comes around and will pursue. Or maybe God will bring someone else?? I've been told the men of my generation are more and more wanting women to pursue but I don't believe it's biblical. Please pray for something to change where I am in fellowship with people I relate to and have healthy friendships/ relationships. I don't know if I should ask for this guy to pursue or not in prayer. I believe I am in transition and being prepared for something BIG but again, I really can't put my finger on it. Trusting God right now seems really hard.

Praises: My minor surgery yesterday went great and smoothly! The ladies in Bible study are a major blessing in my life and I am so grateful for them! Relationship with my parents is good. Thank you Lord!

thank-you in advance if you are joining me in prayer. I do appreciate the prayers!

Holy God and loving Father, I consciously place my fears, worries, anxieties, and burdens in your hands. I know that I have so little power to change the outcome of these events and I trust that you will work what is pleasing to you, and best for me, out of these situations. Forgive me for my anxious thoughts and for letting my own worry become an idol that robs you of my full trust. Strengthen and empower me to trust you more by the power and presence of your Spirit. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen

Prayers go out to you, im glad minor surgery went well and that your relationship w yr parents is good. Prayers for your concerns w yr relationship status and that people will be introduced into your life that you can relate to more. I pray for the energy to pursue whatever it is you need in your life right now, that doors will be opened to you and that you will find someone with the same beliefs and values as you that you can enjoy spending time with and that the Lord will be your guiding factor and foundation, strong foundation. May the Lord bless you and keep you and bring you peace.

I prayed for this. In Jesus Name. Amen.

Thank you for giving us the privilege to pray on your behalf. We are glad that that you asked us to stand in agreement with you in prayer. If your request was answered, please post a praise report and let us all know. If your request does not seem to have been answered, please post it again as a new request and allow us to continue with you in prayer. We all hope that our prayers are answered in the way that we want. Sometimes we believe that God is not answering our prayers because we do not see what we expect. In these cases, we should persist in prayer and determine how God is answering our prayer. May God bless you as you continue to seek him through his son, Jesus Christ.

thank-you to anyone who is praying for me, I am saying a prayer for God's blessing to you too! The situation at home hasn't changed. In fact, have a loss of energy the last 3 days which is a health thing. Please keep praying! I know God is working things out for my best and I choose to trust in him and his plan.
