A selfish prayer request?

[CordieLaLa]

I know there are people out there praying for relatives who are sick and dying but I have a prayer request that has been on my mind a lot. Forgive me if it seems selfish.

I ask the Lord God to please bless me with a good man and a good strong blessed relationship. I'm not interested in pre-marital sex but my heart feels so alone and vacant. People say I'm beautiful but I dont feel like it otherwise it wouldn't be so hard to meet someone.

I've asked the Lord to give me strength to be patient in the meantime and I have faith that God will bless me with a good relationship at the right time but I also know the power of prayer and would appreciate you all praying with me.

I also have a problem which I believe is Satan and his demons trying to drag me down. Lately I've been feeling depressed again and memories of the arguments I had with my ex boyfriend and his current girlfriend keep coming back. I rebuke Satan in the name of the Lord but these memories come back more vicious and harder. I know he is trying to drag me down because I am living my life the way God wants me too but I want the strength to keep serving God and living in His way.

Thanks in advance.

I don't think you are selfish at all. I am also praying that God will send me a good Christian husband. It is hard being single, but the more you get involved in other things the sooner he will come. Don't let this be your primary prayer. And never pray for patience, instead pray for endurance. Praying for patience just brings trials. Hang in there. God will bring him into your life at the right time.

You are not being selfish. Loving someone is a major part of our lives, we all need someone to love and comfort us. I'm sure God has a plan for you and it is in the works. Fill your life with as many friends as you can. Keep busy with good Christian friends to keep satan away. And we will all pray you find a loving Christian to fall in love with.
Praying for you.

Hi, I've prayed for your requests. God bless you!

We are to pray for each other, that is not selfish. You would not ask for prayer if you did not feel you needed it.

Father i lift my sister up to you and pray that you will give her your peace as she waits upon you. Father i pray that in your timing you would bless her with a mate that would serve your purpose in her life. Father lonliness on a human level is so real and we need other believers in our lives to cope in this world we live in. Father you are so wonderful and know our needs before we even ask. Father i thank you for all your blessings and praise your holy name. In Jesus Name. AMEN

I prayed for a good Christian husband...I had actually given God a specific list on what I wanted in a husband. Everything I had prayed for in a husband (even age range!), the Lord provided...and everything my husband asked for in a wife, I am to him. I met him on this board. We were just married March 30th. So, yes, I think it is ok for you to ask...of course, I asked for a husband--not a boyfriend. I either wanted to be married, or not date at all. (that's the extremist side of me--but I wonder--are there any Scriptures that back up dating in the Bible?--I guess that a subject for another post) I think God had put the desires in our heart for what we wanted in each other, and then He just waited for us to ask.

Don't give in to those memories, thats not God's will for you. There's an Isaac for every Rebecca.

Father, as she commits her ways into your hands, guide her paths in Jesus name. Thank you that she is not interested in anything other than marriage to one you've kept for her. We ask that you keep her patient as your time is best in Jesus name.

praying in agreement

Lord I pray that you send the perfect one, a man you have chosen for her.

LET GO! and LET GOD!
always on time.

It's is not selfish at all to ask God to send you a mate. The word says in John 15:7 "If ye abide in me and my word abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will and it shall be done unto you." God wants for us to be linked together with the right person so that He can be glorified and so that His will can be performed. Marriage is not just a life long relationship, it is a life long ministry which is why it is so important that we wait for God to send us the right mate.

I pray God to you grant this young woman her request. She wants to be with someone that will love her as he loves you (Eph. 5:25). Father, give her patiants to wait for the right mate and give her a discerning spirit so that she can know that he was sent by you. I thank you Lord, in advance, for granting her request. I pray this in the loving name of Jesus. Amen.

I am overwhelmed by your prayer requests! Bless you all.

Thank you so much for your prayers. I should have known my brothers and sisters on this board have prayed for me because my soul feels at ease today. I am waiting for the glorious Lord God to bring me and my mate together. For me it is also a matter of marriage or nothing (in reply to Soap) because anything else is sin.

Lord I thank you for bringing me to this board to meet and know such loving and caring brothers and sisters. I pray for endurance as I wait upon you to bring me together with my mate for life. Lord I thank you for the hurts and pain I have been thru because now I know what real love is and what to expect when the one sent by you arrives.

In the name of Jesus I ask these things of you Lord.
