I have a problem

[PrincessK]

Hi, everyone my name is Monique and I'm new here. I want to know if anyone can give me some good advice. I'm 24 years old and I have never had a boyfriend. I want one but I don't want to pick up any and everyone. I have another friend who is 24 as well and she just recently got her first boyfriend. I have to admit at first was a little jealous but I'm over that now I just plain feel like a loser because sometimes I don't feel like I will ever get married or have kids. This scares me often because I don't have much family and she is my only close friend so if I don't have a family when I get older I will not have anyone and my friend doesn't really speak to me for long on the phone anymore because she has him now so guess our 10 year friendship might end soon. She recently also got baptized and is now a christian. I belive in God and I pray and read the bible but I have not taken that step as yet. I have faith in God and I know that he is what matters the most in life but sometimes I can't help but feel bad about my situation. I have lived a blessed life but for the last two years I have just been struggling socially, financially, also in my school work. Does anyone have any advice for me? It would be greatly appreciated.

Have you made a decision to receive salvation?
Are you going to a bible believing church?

Your doing the right thing by reading the bible. The bible says to seek Him with all your heart, and He willl guide your path. I truly believe that if your heart is to find a good Christian guy, God will supply that for you. I also think t's awesome that you have never had a boyfriend because you are waiting for someone more special.Please don't feel like a loser because you have neve rhad a boyfriend. God says it's impossible to please Him with out faith, maybe ask God for more faith that He will grant you the desires of your heart.

Please don't give up. I had really bad back pain for about 4 years, and everyone acted like I had to live with it, or get surgery, etc. I didn't give up on God, kept praying asking to heal me, tp show me how to be healed, to carry me. God brought me to place of healing, and I thank Him so much for doing so. Sometimes we just have tlet go of our own understandings, and just have faith in God. Sometimes when there seems to be no hope, remeber that you can do ALL things through Christ Jesus. ALL things workout for the good to those who love Christ, and with God ALL things are possible.
God bless.

I know where you are coming from... I am 22 years old and i have yet to have a girlfriend (sad... i know). I too have been struggling socially (all my life really), financially (student loans ), etc. But there is hope... Just keep the faith.

I saw something interesting on TV yesterday. When you pray about something, you should only pray once and thats it. In Mark 11:24 it says " Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them. ". But the point is that if you keep praying for the same thing, you are really saying "I didnt believe it the first time so i will ask again". This makes a vicious cycle. I am not saying this is a problem for you but I think it may have been for me. [/rambling]

Thanks for everyone's advice. I think that does apply to me I do pray for things more than once. I will try not too. To answer the other question no I do not go to chruch but I do watch it on TV every sunday I watch Joel Osteen.

Ah yes Pr. Joel a wise man with very good avdvice on life issues and how god can help you. I am happy that you watch him. This problems that you mention almost everyone faces. I am 22 and being threatened to go to jail if I don't pay a bill. I don't have a job, so I guess their expecting Monopoly money or something lol. Anywho I don't worry about it, because it won't make thinks better. Just trust in God and do what you can. Oh and they relationship thing, I wouldn't worry about it, just be open to meeting new people. Don't judge them by the way they look, because underneath that is probably the man of your dreams.
