So when we’re praying for marriage, we’re praying for something that existed in heaven from the beginning.It’s good and it’s beautiful and it’s something that’s ok for us to want.Stephanie May Wilson is an author, a podcaster, a speaker, and the go-to guide for 20 & 30-something women as they navigate their most important relationships.
God could just create a mate for you the way God did for Adam, but, that mate would still have free will and since there are millions, even billions, of those around already why would God make another? It’s a weekly podcast that’s kind of like a small group, a coffee date with your mentor, and a conversation with best friends over pizza and a glass of wine (or La Croix! God Himself is more gracious, faithful, enduring, and powerful than anyone I would marry. Through her book, The Lipstick Gospel, and her podcast, Girls Night with Stephanie May Wilson, Stephanie has mentored thousands of women as they cultivate healthy, thriving relationships with God, their friends, their significant others, and with themselves. The Lord promises us peace and joy with Him. I am happy for the rest of you who still feel hope and Steph thank you for writing this. Bless you. I can't think for the life of me why the heck does God have me still alive. God knows your hearts intention, and will try to stop anything that will separate you from Him. You know I am VERY frustrated..WITH GOD! And I tell myself, for Him to have me know such hurt and rejection, He surely has such joy in store for me. It’s so easy to let the desire be consuming enough that we’d rather go without life than to not have a spouse.
Give your trust into God, and His plan for your future will reveal itself in due time. And I must say God has a way of bringing comfort. the way that i feel, God shouldn’t have created many of us to be born if we weren’t meant to find love and happiness.
It is one thing for a 26-year-old woman to be wondering if she will find a mate – and quite another for a 40-year-old woman to have the same concern. All my love.Hi Shona, i am in the same situation just like you since i am having a very difficult time meeting a good woman for me to settle down with. My mom told me that no man would ever love me…guess she was right…Sharon, I wish that there were some magic words that would fix everything.
Rest in knowing God your Father has good reasons for bringing you into your trial. But regardless of how the story unfolds, if we stick close to Him and keep saying yes, it’ll be […][…] I fully believe that God is faithful to provide a husband and yet when I consider these words I am left reeling from all that I have witnessed in my young life. At 40 I will only be crediting the Lord. God has a plan and a purpose for your life. Whatever you prefer!)
What if I’m going to receive the ‘gift’ of singleness?And then, with my insides panicking, I try to take a deep breath and tell God that I understand that I don’t have a right to get married, that He doesn’t have to give me a husband and that my love for Him will not change.Now- let’s stop for a second and talk about what’s true.1. Ive even been told that I must remain single. “To the praise of the glory of his grace” summarizes the purpose of Ephesians, your life, and history. Why ? Even those friends who made poor decisions on spouses early in life (as non-Christians) have moved past divorces and been blessed with wonderful second wives. Many times I have felt the need to rebuke myself for desiring a husband, thinking that if I really loved the Lord I would no longer feel that way. Was Jesus denying that He is God? It’s not good for man to be alone .
God might not take away the desire you have, but by spending time with Him we learn how to master our minds. Just for some reason? Thanks for addressing this! God tells us not to be unequally yoked (2 Cor. I can’t make sense of it either – no less than I can make sense of my intense yearning to be married and having children – a yearning from where, if not from the Lord? I never got an answer to why she refused “us”; all I know is that she said I had done nothing wrong. So I just put my face to the wall and cried as I had been asking Him to let me die when in fact He had died for me!! i will always tell them how very blessed they are to have each other, and i wish that i had been born much sooner when i could had been as lucky as they were and most likely would had a family today myself. But I will say this. It’s so easy to let the desire be consuming enough that we’d rather go without life than to not have a spouse. We’re on a mission to change that. I wouldn’t wish this feeling of loneliness on my worst enemy.I just wanted to say thank you. He wants you to be happy exactly where you are in life, and to meet you in the middle of your emotional longing. You’re Not Alone. When you have low standards and try to make anyone work for you, because you want a relationship that desperately, you are just setting yourself up for failure. Just because we want a relationship and a marriage right now, doesn’t mean God is going to give it to you. The pages of Scriptures are sprinkled all over with the tears of believers who have cried and pleaded, asking the same question: We might be tempted to think our sorrowful experiences are the consequences of a fallen world, but we would be wrong. If I never meet anyone who wants to be with me, I pray that God at least removes those words from my identity. God didn’t design us to need only Him as a companion. It’s my pleasure. I know he knows how much despair I can endure, but this loneliness has laid waste of my life and desire to live. It reorients my heart. Please GOD, give me some sort of peace, even if it means death.Billy, I don’t know what to say other than that I’m praying for you right now. Yes it is a very painful thing, though I am thankful for Steph’s article as it puts a lot in perspective. But here is what he gave instead: “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness” (2 Corinthians 12:8–9).
