I mean if God has the score of 100, mary would score 99.8 in my mind. She is that perfect to me.
Go to the nearest deli and start praying.
But what kind of sandwich?Go to the nearest deli and start praying.
Wow.First of all, I want to treat everyone in here with respect. However, i just want to say something before proceeding to my main topic.
A) This topic is about how to pray for a girlfriend, if you are happy with your singleness and want to suggest me to be content with it, be my guest, but just want to say this is not the theme of the topic i am looking for and there will be no official response from me. If i have offended anyone, i am sorry. Just want to say this isn't the theme of the topic.
B) If you want to post 1st Corinthians 7, please don't. I cannot stop you if you really want to, but once again there will be no official response from me. You can post it because this is a free world we are living in. I am not here to stop you from posting, just not recommended.
C) This thread is for people who are single and discuss how to get rid of the curse of singleness. If you believe singleness is a blessing, good for you. Please try not to advocate this idea in here.
With that out of the way, let's continue. Once again i am sorry if i have offended anyone. I really need a girlfriend, at age 31 I cannot believe that i am still single while most of my friends are getting married or at least getting into relationships. What have I ever done to deserve being cursed with singleness? Being rejected countlessly, i am losing my patience rapidly. I am afraid i am in a really unhealthy cycle where i am desperate for a girlfriend, but desperate doesn't exactly inspire confidence, thus not being attractive to girls. (like i said, please don't suggest being content with singleness) I am afraid if i am content with being single, God would think all i need is Him and thus no need for a girlfriend. I am currently working and studying at the same time because i want to have an income to support my family in the future and studying would help me get the right job to earn even more money to take care of my future wife. If i am meant to be single, then i dont see the point of working hard or studying hard anymore.
I don't want to pray for His will to be done on me if God intended me to be single forever. Just like God responded to the Jews on why they would need a king, all they need is Him, but the jews ask for a king anyways, and God eventually give them king saul. I don't want to leave an option where permanent singleness is okay with me. I mean, if that is really what He wants, then there is nothing i can do about it, but don't expect me to ever be content with it.
So what is the correct way to pray for a girlfriend? How would you pray about it? I seriously don't want to remain single for a second. I cannot wait for my life to begin when i have a girlfriend, rather than living pointlessly without a significant other. Thanks for reading and may God bless you.
Saul wasn't a good king. But Israel thought he was better than no king. If you think a bad girlfriend is better than no girlfriend, once you get that bad girlfriend, you might be fine with permanent singleness.I don't want to pray for His will to be done on me if God intended me to be single forever.

God has a will. God sees your desires and your intentions. You can't say anything to wiggle around that. What I try to do is pray in a way that remains true to how I am feeling, yet moves me to greater trust in him and to being a better person.So what is the correct way to pray for a girlfriend?
