Am I wasting my time or am I not yet patient enough? Is God going to give me the desires of my heart? He certainly says he will but what I desire, I cannot seem to grasp. How do I know this is what I desire or is this just the best thing I can see right now? Will God show me the bigger picture? not in my life on earth. Why has my current and long time prayers subject, the desire of my heart, going seemingly unnoticed? Others seem so blessed in this area. Am I truly ready to to handle my desires? Have I not struggled enough in my sin and finally gain victory over something I once had no control over. God has blessed me with this repentance of sin and great daily freedom. I thought this would bring greater things above and beyond my victory and freedom over sin. My heart cries out for someone to love, someone to listen, someone to take care of, someone to spend my life with and here I sit trying to figure out why I cannot move on. His blessings have been great and I should not ask for more. You said you know me deeply and you know deep inside that I yearn for a Godly relationship. You have given me the finest armor and steels in the land and I want to try my hand at a new battle. I want someone to fight for. My wins on the battleground against satan are few but each day I step back to the front lines to battle for my purity with your strength. I want a new fight, a new life, and most of all a new love.

Some time ago, I was struck by this scripture that the way to understand it may be that God will not give me MY desires i.e. the things I desire, but instead, that he will give me his desires (If you see what I mean). Of course, his desire can also be to bring two people together!

Well, brother..... I had to realize it wasn't a this for that. If I followed God, He should give me what I want. That should never be the case.
I realized that the only one that could ever make me feel content and happy was the Lord Jesus. I don't want anything else. I didn't need anything else. For He knows my needs. Time after time, whenever I am in need, He already knows and have provided. He taught me patience. He performs miracles in my life. He's never given me a yoke I cannot bare.
Just for the record....He's blessed me with two transactions. One of them being the biggest I've ever done in my entire life. He's blessed me with a God fearing woman. I have a very loving family. I desire for Him to rule over everything that I am, and will be. For He is my Lord and Savior.
I had to learn how to enjoy the simplest things in life to appreciate all the great things He's doing now. Did you thank Him for the air that you are breathing today? I'm guilty of complacency and taking things for granted as well. I wasn't thankful for the simplest things. But He was patient with me and He granted me the time to get to know Him on a much more personal basis.
Be silent.....Be still.......Know that He is your God.

Hey brov to quote you "Am I wasting my time or am I not yet patient enough?
The answer is NO, youre not. Now I am glad that i have had to wait and wait and wait and desire and long for many years 10, 12, 14, 20 nearly for a precious, beloved, tender spouse and I am 42 wot hope for me? ha well actually as much hope as you have and thats lots!
You see it appears to me that may be God is testing you, and obviousally got some special plan sorted out for you. You need some assurance have read of my post on page 2 of forums. FAITH gives HOPE at settles a lot of hurt and despare.
The desire sof our hearts can be so fickle and how many times have i longed and not had an answer, but the more we pray and worship God and enjoy Him alone and be thrilled by Him as much as having a spouse then the more likely we are to getting that desire.
Dont give up, press on push on and see the tender God of heaven meet those deepest desires.
Bless you john

If you all will let the Lord have his will and way as his will and ways are always right, then he will provide for you a relationship perhaps and to give you all a mate created in his image just like he created you all in his image as we are all not mistakes as we are also created for his purposes as well as our bodies his temples.

I'm sorry. I know what I said is easier said than done. But, where in the Bible does it tell you that living the Christian life is easy. It doesnt because we are a peculiar people and it's not easy to go against the world. I'll be praying for you.
In Him,
Matt

Also the Lord looks inside of you to make sure that you are living according to his plan and will. It won't be easy because the world does things that contradicts what God wants you to do. But with God's help, lean on him even when things get tough.
