This prayer request I am sharing I am afraid to share and God knows as I have let Him know. I am afraid to share because years ago I prayed desperately for God to restore my marriage and that my husband would choose the marriage, God, recovery over His addiction, and he did not and we divorced. Now I am asking God:
I am very lonely and have prayed over a decade for God to bring to my life a man suitable to be my husband. I have worked in myself, walked in His service and ministries, prayed Scripture into my life repeatedly daily. He has answered many simple prayers and blessed me in so many ways, yet He refuses to answer this. A couple years ago, I let this desire go and continued moving forward with some goals when out of nowhere 2 men showed interest. After a short acquaintance with the first who was from my large church, I was very clear with him I was not interested in going on a date with him after he suggested we spend a weekend in Chicago. The second man was respectful and seemed interested in getting to know me. I wrestled with God continually with this because I had plans to move out of state. I continued to lay fleeces before the Lord regarding this relationship, and God answered affirmatively that this was the path and relationship for me so many times in surprisingly supernatural ways. Now it seems I must end this because it is evident that I have no place in this man’s life after his recent promotion. I have been understanding of the stresses on him and communicated I want him to feel supported and I do feel hurt when plans are broken and I don’t receive even a text from him to notify me. I have had lots of conversations with God that this feels like it was a big tease because I was resolved to be alone and comfortable but now I have experienced a bit of companionship and the ache to hold hands and have conversations is a painful loss and void. I pray desperately that He will fill my life with a beautiful relationship that is exceedingly abundantly more than I can ever ask or think. I appreciate your prayers in this. I am holding on by thread and continuing in knocking as Jamie MacDonald says in her song, “Desperate.” More than anything I just want to see God answer this prayer…that He can and will.
