Prayer agreement, please (if possible, let it stay here)

[Quiet Storm]

I know prayer requests usually go into the prayer request section, but I'd just like the prayer support of fellow singles. My problem is that I have the desire to be with someone, but I'm emotionally numb because of "mistakes" that I thought were things I should've been doing at the time. It's a long story, but as a result, I've grown numb and it's very frustrating. I know that this isn't God's will, so if you'd just intercede for me, I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks.

I know the "numb" feeling all to well. Praying for you

I also know that feeling. Will keep you in my prayers, Quiet Storm.

Just to add some interesting commentary to this post, besides my support (OK, so it may by boring or obvious, but sometimes we forget this. I know I do). Anyone ever think that other people, even members of the opposite sex we like have the same feeling? Mistakes happen, more than the successes, even for the people who seem to ALWAYS have a gf or bf. I've only ever known 1 guy to have 100% success rate with girls he has asked out, and I always thought it was because he had the good looking genes. 9 girlfriends he's had out of 9 asked, compared to my 16 asked with 15 rejections or lying acceptances, and he's younger than I am. But as I got to know him more, he told me that it was only because he is so afraid of rejection that he doesn't ask out a girl until he has spoken to her friends and is 100% sure she will say yes. Then he explained further about his lovelife, and no gf has lasted longer than 4 months. He explained that is was no way to go about getting a gf. In fact now, he has got to learn about taking risks in his love life, and he's in a similar position as most of us singles are now, but worse as on his 10th he has to start learning about rejection in the real world, as she said no to him.

Romance in the real world has rejection and numbness built in. Jesus never said life would be easy, just that He would always be by your side if you choose to not wander away from him and where he leads. Doh, another post where I'll have to swallow my own foul-tasting medicine!
