for so many years. I pray to God to send me the right one, or if I am to be single, I ask him to at least send me a sign marriage or singledom? Have any of you gone through the same thing?

And so far no signs yet if I am to be single or married, or do I just need a board over the head?

God hears you, but he wants you t be patient. he is molding your man for you.
I know it may seem like he will never come, but I was taught that when he comes he will find you, you will not have to look for him, so be patient, God isn't finished with him yet.

Why don't you pray to be happy and stop fretting about marriage? Who cares whether you are married or single as long as you are living a life of joy.
There's nothing worse than being stuck in an unhappy, unloving marriage. I'm sure there are plenty of dissatisfied married people who would greatly trade places with any of their single friends.
When you are happy with yourself and can life a single life fully then the right person will come to you.

I have gone through the exact same thing. I'd rather remain single than lose everything I have in ruinous relationships, so I prayed to God not to send another woman my way until the right one came; and if there is no right one, to remain single and at peace.

I know what you mean. I used to pray that. But I'm a woman and I believe that my husband should find me as it says in Proverbs 18:22. And I pray to the Lord that I become a virtuous wife (Proverbs 31:10-31). I pray for my husband. (I'm not married) I pray that the Lord strengthens him and gives him the guidance he needs. I feel that if God doesn't force salvation on you, He won't force a mate onto you. People are presented to you and it's up to you to make the choice to date them or not. I know it's hard, but try to focus on yourself and how to serve the Lord. If you focus on being single that may distract you form serving God. If you focus on other things your help mate may appear. They may even be there and you don't even know it. I hope this helps and I hope I make sense. God Bless

I dont think that there is any thing wrong with what you are doing. Maybe its not the right time for you, but when you least except it your soulmate will come along. I did this for a very long time and I meet someone and we got married but I dont think that he was the right one for me. Dont get in a big hurry the right one is out there.

i went thru the same thing before i got married but as i doing my devotions, i got a revelation - Adam was busy in the garden with God brought Eve. God told him to go and take dominion, and he did. he was doing his job, naming the animals and taking care of the garden, all that good stuff. when God looked down and saw that he was lonely - and then made Eve to be his help-meet. (God saw his loneliness, Adam didn't have to tell God or beg for someone :D )
- the point? while you are waiting for that someone special, stay busy. God will bring them along in His timing - which is always perfect.

Just remember God has it in his hands! It will happen you are ready for it to happen! he has the perfect timing, so don't try and speed things up, just be patient. All you can do is pray and wait, which form the sounds of it you are doing now..
So i guess this is just a message of encouragement!
Your in my prayers mate, God bless

I did the exact same thing. I meditated as well.
The answer I came to was this.
God wants us to be happy, but doesnt care what we want.
He has more important things to do than micromanage our lives.
If you want a husband, do something about it - he wont send someone to knock on your door.
That is my best advice based on experience.
I still dont have a husband, but I dont get my mind all anxious hoping god will answer that prayer. So I'm much happier.

I'm still single. Relationships occur when you least expect them. Seek God's kingdom first, and all of these things will be added on to you. A good heart will lead you to good people and/or a good person.

Do you ask God every time you pray? If so, the next time you pray ask him once. Then every time you pray after that, thank him for answering your prayer. If you keep asking him the same thing every time, he will think you didn't have faith. This goes for all of your prayers. Have faith the first time, and he will answer your prayer in his own time. Trust me . He will.
