My Friends in Christ,
I am in need of your prayers. Over a year ago the woman I wanted to marry broke up with me, and I have been in a deep depression since. I’ve gone to therapy (with a wonderful theraprist, praise Jesus) and am working through my issues. However, a lot of my pain comes not only from this crippling loneliness I feel, but also from a poor self-image.
In trying to help myself get back on a healthy track, I have realized I am ready to date again. However, the girls I am interested in presently are few and far between, and those I am interested in show no interest in me. I truly feel undesirable. If only one girl could show a hint of interest in me, I’d feel so much better. If I could ask for your prayers for healing, and for concrete proof/recognition that I am lovable in this way. If God doesn’t want me with anyone right now, I surrend to that will. But this feeling of isolation is very painful, and I would have to think God wouldn’t want me feeling this way. I know, I know, I am working on reconstructing my self-image in this vulnerable state; but if I keep telling myself there is hope, and yet these recent girls have all been cold to me, how can I believe?
I hope this does not come across as whiney or childish. Looking through this forum, it feels weird to ask for your prayers amongst so many people with huge illnesses and other issues. Please pray for them first, and only if you have time, for me. For many this might not seem like a big deal, but for me, this is very painful. Thank you, and know you are all in my prayers.
God bless you.
