Pray while doing push-ups.

How many push ups can you do ?

How many push ups can you do ?

Only around 50. I don't have good upper body strength.

That's pretty decent.

I mean if God has the score of 100, mary would score 99.8 in my mind. She is that perfect to me.

Quite honestly, this is a concern. You have built Mary up way too much, and even if Mary was interested in you, it could very well end in disaster because the reality wouldn't live up to the fantasy that you've created.

And even if you get over Mary, another woman could come along who you build up just as much, so that's something you need to address. People aren't perfect, and part of being in a relationship is accepting that. So until you can do that then you probably shouldn't be in a relationship with anyone.

Ok, I can't find the post to quote about Mary. What about Mary puts her at a 99.8? The Bible doesn't tell us she was attractive or anything about her beyond that God saw something good in her and honored her. She was most likely around 14 or 15 years old (I hope you aren't scoping out the teen girls). Are you looking for your woman in the church kitchens or the children's programs or even volunteering in the church offices stuffing envelopes because I'd suspect that Mary wasn't a party girl but most likely was quietly serving behind the scenes where many people wouldn't have noticed her. I am sure God picked a quiet humble woman to be the mother of Jesus so she wouldn't take credit for His greatness.

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.

Wow.

You aren't exactly supposed to pray for what you want contrary to God's will.

You would need to start by praying to some other thing than God.

You need help.

Peace

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.

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.
