- Trust - Unfortunately trust issues are common in the flesh. Some stem from our having unrealistic expectations and some stem from other people being deceptive or manipulative. It is true that the only one who can be fully trusted is God. However through God we are given discernment. The armor of God is to protect us. In the flesh we seek companionship and God has provided helpmates for us. Yet in this day and age it seems increasingly challenging to determine who is true to their relationship with God and who uses it as a disguise. I, too, have felt the sting of betrayal and have recently wanted to give up. But friends helped me to realize that if I give up on looking for a helpmate it is because I have given up on God's ability to lead me to one. God is far greater than anything the enemy can bring to bear upon us. Please do not give up. Have faith in our loving Creator for He will protect you, He will comfort you and He will bring you joy. Remember...seek ye first the kingdom of heaven and all these things shall be added unto you. May the love and peace of our heavenly Father be with you always. (Sep 22, 2012)
- Confused and lonely - Thank you all so kindly. Your encouragement lifts my burdens. I know I lessen my odds by attending a church that has but one or two single women my age. I have thought of attending other churches. But this one feels like home to me. I wouldn't feel right. Suffice it to say I will lay my burdens at the foot of the cross and relinquish control. My strength is in the Lord and He will guide my feet.<br /> <br /> By the way I was wondering something else. I know that some women claim they appreciate it when a man feels comfortable enough with them to cry (with reason, of course...not crying all of the time, mind you). But it seems to me that women still see a man who cries as being weak. I have actually had women in this day and age tell me that they see it as weakness. But if a man cannot express his emotions he bottles it up and it is not healthy. It builds resentment in the relationship. And if we are lucky he doesn't end up on the news after killing his family and himself.<br /> <br /> I am sometimes an emotional man and I have cried myself to sleep a few nights...mostly due to the loneliness. But I find that feeling free to express my emotions makes me more inclined towards romance in a relationship. Sometimes I would love to snuggle up with my favorite someone in front of a fireplace on a cold night. And I don't feel like I should have to try to do that in a very manly way to avoid losing respect. On the other hand I am an honorably discharged veteran and I can defend my family (should I be blessed enough to get one) if the need arises. If I am in a relationship I do not have a wandering eye. I remain faithful and try to be as supportive as I can. Yet some say I try too hard at relationships. My response is that if I want to marry someone it deserves my share of hard work and effort to make it work and to have it continue to work. I just assumed these were all good qualities that women would like. Suffice it to say I have grown very disheartened in general. I am sorry for just dumping like this. But sometimes it is better to seek advice from strangers instead of your therapist, right? After all you don't pay strangers for advice. They are not invested in making you happy. That's my thoughts anyway. Thank you again for letting me vent. Peace be with you all. (Sep 18, 2012)
- Time with God - There may be many reasons, as you may know, for why the split took place even if you prayed for it. But the truth lies between God and your boyfriend. It seems to me that one does not just break up with someone when challenges arise, as surely they will, unless they really were not that into the relationship in the first place. I've known of guys in the past who dated Christian women, even though they were not Christian men, because they wanted a good woman who they thought would submit to them as their husband. Suffice it to say they were only fooling themselves. Sometimes things arise in relationships that some feel very uncomfortable being open about. Who knows?<br /> <br /> The important thing is to keep your eyes on God. God will never leave you, He will never forsake you. God will always love you more than you could imagine. You are His precious daughter. Every perfect gift comes from our Lord and Savior. That includes the gift of a life companion. So if you continue to give it up in prayer I believe with all of my heart that God will provide an answer and the peace that goes along with it. May His glorious blessings bring you peace and joy with the anticipation of delivery from your current circumstance. (Sep 18, 2012)
- AM I GOING TO BE ALONE MY WHOLE LIFE??? - I keep asking myself, Why would a non-believer be a member of a web site for believers?" You can spread all of the lies of evolution that you want. But the only truth lies with God. He has already forgiven you and so have I. Please turn from the lies you have been told and embrace the truth. You can find many answers on christiananswers.net. I pray for your soul and freedom. Peace be with you. (Sep 18, 2012)
