Man Ive been praying for someone ( I'm Christian, a real one) for I don't know how long, like 4 years now, I'm now 22. Im not trying to rush the lord, but like I feel like I don't care anymore.

I dated this girl, thought I was in love, but turned out she was real abusive in the relationship, she calls me to hang out and but says she just likes me as a close friend.

I am a virgin, I follow the bible really closely, I mean really closely not these people who say their Christians, and never even read the bible. I mean I really know God on a personal level, he has given allot; wisdom, success, lessons, and pretty much everything Ive always wanted. But my life has been horrible at times, but it pretty much is getting better, with every year.

I had this hobby of making music, I had like 700 songs made, I got signed and was offered allot of money, but my computer just crashed, so i lost everything

I mean it doesn't really matter if I die a virgin, but it would be nice to have someone

My dear brother in Christ. God has given you a ministry but you are obviously not following it. You want a woman. God wants you single. You wanted music composition. God does not want you composing music. You say God has given you wisdom, success, lessons and pretty much everything I've always wanted. Well use that wisdom, success, lessons to teach the word of God. Become a Minister. When God is ready to give you a wife, he will. She will be your pillar of strength. She will be the mother of your children. Your children will be your heavenly joy and the fruits of the tree God has planted -- in you.

Dying a virgin has nothing to do with it. Doing something that God has prepared you for is everything. You say that you really read the Bible and I admire you for that. Now teach me what the Bible says and what it means. Save my soul like God has saved yours. Do you see what I am saying. You have a gift. Minister to it. Don't rush God. He will give you a wife in due time and not a moment sooner.

I know it's hard at times..the Lord makes you think that he is dealing you all the bad cards and not caring, but you have to go through the bad times to truly appreciate the good times.

And if you were an outsider looking in (on your life) then also look at the lives of others. Alcoholics, drug addicts, the homeless..it could always be worse.

It is hard to be lonely, I have been on both sides of that.. and if you rush love you will settle for less than what you deserve. Just remember that there are SO many people in this world.. if it doesn't work out with someone, try to move on the best you can because there are a lot of people to meet out there.

I wish you luck on your music - (try backing it up to disc next time) and everything else - just remember, it could be worse!!

Be patient. If you are a christian then you should believe that you will meet the right woman when the time is right. That God has a plan for you and right now just might not be the right time. Maybe the girl of your dreams is still in high school and needs some growing to do before you meet. Who knows. Sorry to hear about your music though.

Well you sound a little mixed up. You aren't that old...not over the hill...and have a talent it doesn't sound like you are using. You haven't lost the talent...just the songs...and you can't have forgotten every song you've ever written....so re-write them!

And you say you follow the Bible closely...so does that mean you listen to what it says as well...you can read it, but not apply it...and I can see "holes" in what you are doing. How?
Proverbs 3:5&6...."trust in the Lord and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways, acknowledge Him, and He will direct your paths". What does it tell you to do? Trust in God, and don't decide everything on your own...instead wait for His direction to guide and open doors for you...and He promises if you do your part (trust Him), then He will take care of the rest.

I could tell you numerous ways I have leaned on those two verses...as well as many other promises. Another is "Be anxious for nothing, but in everything with prayer and thanksgiving, make your requests know to God.....

It is something you have to learn to do...you can't "trust" and '''be anxious" at the same time...so you have to keep handing it back to Him. It is human nature to worry....instead you choose to "trust", and in the process you learn not to be worried because He has promised to take care of it for you.

What are your requests...to find the right girl....he's got one in mind....so tell God what you would like to find (He already knows, but He wants to hear from you on a regular basis).
You want to sell your music...He gave you the gift...ask Him how to use it for Him.....and He will help you.

Don't despair. Wait for the right time, the right girl, the right job.....and don't try to substitute and get second best...because He has the right ones ready for you.

I have found God to be awesome, amazing, a provider, a healer, a fulfiller of His promises in every way. Listen to what each verse is telling you is your part.....and obey them. He will do the rest.

God doesn't give you want you want (he is not Santa) instead he gives you what you need.

This is what you need in your life now, it is a gift from God. Appreciate and use it in the appropriate way.

Nothing is bad, it is what you make of it.

This closest friend may be important at one day in your life. Maybe she will introduce you to the love of your life.

700 songs is too many, all you need is 10-20 for an album (many great artists had a time when they lost a lot of art work and had to start again, only this time better).

You know what, Im going through the exact same thing you are. I used to be so hardcore christian, but then I feel like I grew up. Everybody says u have a purpose in life, But what if ur the guy whos cleaning the crappy bathrooms in a grocery store? Whats his purpose in life? lol u know? Or how come there can be a serial killer who somehow gets a second chance in society, But howcome there will be a brand new babygirl born with cancer or a tumor and only lives a few weeks and never gets to experience life? Why are there "special" children out there who are filled with nothing but love for anyone, but they only live to be like 20? u see wut im saying? I think I gave up on this extreme religion thing, I look at stuff waay different now, and to tell u the truth, its actually refreshing.

God is testing your faith in him. He sends trials our way to see if we're really a Christian when we say we are. If you really are a good Christian like you say you are, then you should continue studying his word and praying, no matter how much you've lost. Read the book of Job for encouragement when life seems to be unfair to you. Imagine how much more Job had to suffer. But he still praised the Lord and in the end he was rewarded with much more than he had at the start.

Pray to God for wisdom and strength to help you overcome this trial. Keep the faith in him and God bless(:

Your trying to satisfy your mind with a devilish lust. You have stoped worshiping God as you once did. The devil has picked up on this and is now starting to control your mind as well as your life. Things are starting to happen to you that aren't so good. Like your PC crashing. The Holy Bible says for a single man to pertain to the things of God. And if and when he meets and marries a women, then he is to pertain to the things of his family, then God. Your not giving God the time to find the right person for you. You let the devil tell you you want to find yourself one. Repent, ask God to help remove those devils and give you strength.

Man, God has many ways to teach us things. We can't always understand them right away. God has a purpose for everything he does. He has a plan. Maybe He wants you to keep music a hobby... you know what, maybe you'll meet the love of your life through this crisis! You never know, the important thing is to always think positive and have faith that He knows what he is doing. "They overcame by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony. Rev. 12:11" and you can too. Just keep your testimony faithfilled and positive. Keep going strong.

At age 22 I would not worry about dying a virgin. Still plenty of time there. And have the geek squad check out your computer, they might be able to recover some of the info on the harddrive.
