Like the right Girlfriend. I'm 25 by the way. I don't want to be a bachelor if I can avoid it, but I seem to be heading that way.
Sensitivity please..

I find this hard in certain areas of my life also. You are still young, I have 30 years on you and I am also looking. God has a plan for each of us. I am finding that when things do not go our way, God is reaching out for our attention, he wants to make you stronger in the area of trusting Him, His way is always better than ours, He sees the whole picture, we only see a sliver. I am sure He is preparing someone for you right now. Just say, "God I trust you in this area of my life," and give it to Him. Even if at first you are not 100% sure you are trusting Him. Say it whenever the thought arises, pretty soon you will be trusting Him. Afterall, it is His will we need to seek daily, not our own. When we seek His will daily, He promises to give us the desires of our hearts. Before you know it someone perfect for you will enter your life, and it will be a person that God has chosen for you. You cannot get any better than that.

Brother,
You are not alone. We have trials - just like great fathers of the faith -- Jonah, King David, Solomon, Apostle Peter and Paul.
All have stories of trust. It is human.
Please give God a chance to work in your life and lead your decisions. Pray and stay in the Word. You'll do great!

I prayed to God that He would send me my soul mate, and that He would let me know beyond the shadow of a doubt that it was she, so that I would not waste any more of my time chasing after the wrong skirt. He Did, and I am now married to a very wonderful lady. He does answer prayer.

Take heart, my brother, I was a bachelor into my 40's. Sometimes God takes time to prepare us for that person, or prepare that person for us. He is working on you, savor the time you have now to devote yourself wholly to God. Focus on Christ, your ministry and the work to be done. If God blesses you with a mate, you will know it. If He doesn't, then accept that as His will for you and carry on serving Him. He knows what is best for you at the time and the future. Remember, many great men and women of faith were single, they could give their lives fully to God and service without the "encumbrance" of a family. Keep it in prayer, accept God's will for you and continue to keep your focus on Christ.

It is difficuilt at times for us Christian's to trust for certian things becasue we are human and we have our own timetable for things. We forget that our prayers get answered, yes-no- and wait. Those who wait on the Lord will renew their strength, they will fly like egales, they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not grow faint. Teach me Lord, Teach me Lord to wait.
I too am waiting for the right man to come in to my life.
I believe that when we wait, we shouldn 't just sit around and ecxpect things to happen to us. We need to be involved in things and eventually our envolvment might lead us to the right person.
Keep praying, and pay attention to the not all that pretty girls....often they are so beautiful on the inside that when you get to know them they become lovely on the outside too.
Get involved in volenteer groups etc.

When you go to BELIEVE what GOD said:
1. The Devil attacks
2. The Darkness that is on the EARTH right now, gets in your Believer and causes Trouble.
3. Doubt and Unbelief in Your Mind (Soul) cuts down on the Ability to bring it to Pass
4.Your Mind is not Renewed in that Area
5. Your a "oh ye, of Little FAITH" man
6. You have been listening to the Lies of the Devil instead of Listening to GOD
You gotta get a Lot of Ducks in a Row in order to Believe GOD for something, and I didn't list them all.
Ditto.

Because you're human. God created curiosity and argument in us, His creations in His own image, and it's important to take those doubts and fears directly to God.
A suggestion: look up "doubt" and "fear" in a concordance and study what God says about them. Something else that helped me was to put my own doubts and fears on paper, and list them. This really allowed me to define how I felt, and let me take them to God in prayer...
My brother in the Lord, I told God that I could find the right woman on my own. I married a beautiful Italian girl, and got myself tangled up in her and her life when I found out that she had lied to me to get me to marry her. Not just about little things, either...it has taken me 10 years to extricate myself personally and financially.
Be patient in the Lord...He knows your heart and will provide all things according to His riches and glory. I'll pray for you...

God knows your future, and knows what is best for you. I can't tell you much more than that because I don't know how to be in your shoes. I am only 14 years old, and don't know much about these things yet. Trust in God that he knows what is truly best for you and your future. I'll be praying!

If you trust your own intuition instead of what somebody else's idea of God is, you'll be better of.
You might get more girlfriends if you lighten up your icon dude! LOL.
No doubt you'll find the right lady in due time. Don't rush it.

because you are human.... We, as Christains, are like children with broken toys. We take our dreams and "broken toys" (problems) to God for him to fix, but the child in us won't let gop of it long enough for God to "fix" it. It is hard, but you have to trust and believe.... and when in doubt, pray again and again and again. He has made someone just for you and when HE is ready, you will meet the person. Best wishes to you
