Dear Lady. Ann:
My name is Blue and I don’t know where to start, but here it goes. I am 23 years old, soon to be 24, and I have never been in a real relationship. I never had a boyfriend in high school or college and the only dates/guys I have met with have been through the use of online dating, which has never worked out for me but instead has brought heartache and emotional damage. I don’t want to online date, I want to meet a godly man in person. The guys that I have encountered have either been saying they’re Christians but their actions say different, or only have sex on their mind. I’m praying that this year is different. I have claimed in the mighty name of Jesus that this year will be different; that God will lead my future husband and I together, in His will and His way.
I have been thanking God, praying hard, fasting, and hoping with every fiber of my being. I’m not giving up hope, I just need all the prayers I can get. I live in a small town, where the pool of men is limited, but I feel in my spirit that the Lord is keeping me here for now because He has something planned for me. I believe it. I feel it. Everyone tells me to “enjoy being single” and “just focus on yourself” but I’ve heard it so many times it begins to sound like static. I see nothing wrong with a woman desiring a Godly companion, it’s biblical. However, some days I feel hopeless, like something is wrong with me which is why I’m never approached, but I know I have to have a positive attitude and speak life and blessings over me. I ask y’all to pray for me, pray hard because I want this year to be the year where everything changes for the good, and I receive the Godly, Christian, and Holy man that Jesus has in store for me. Thank you.
