I wasted so many years waiting for someone I believed God wanted for me and now that I realise (or finally accept the truth) I have been feeling episodes of deep lonliness that I haven't allowed myself to feel in years.

Ive had so many medical issues and other things going on=i feel God is constantly testing me. Its worst this year-lost my teaching job because of covid-have cataract in one eye so i can longer drive-no family here etc. Even though i have a strong faith i truly wonder why im even here-those are the saddest and worst days for me!

@Get IT J I'm same age like u. Never married and no kids either. Few friends since I'm immigrant. came to the States at 35. My whole family and friends of years live in my born country. Yes. It's been hard, sad, and painful be here by myself. And yes sometimes I thought I was an outsider as well. However, when I feel deeply sadly I raise my hands and worship Abba, and I feel peace and company. Other times I dance in my bedroom with Him and I can feel His love in a warm hug. Surrendering my doubts, hurts, and pain help me to overcome loneliness. ❤

My sister. A church family and community is a good prayer to have. In this lockdown I have faced the deepest depression and loneliness. Out if that I have gained stronger faith in God, joined 2 bible study groups 1 via zoom,1 conference call also I have a single sister in christ who is walking this journey with me we talk cry laugh scream regularly. God has challenged us loads but that has not stopped us. After lockdown I want to join a wonderful church. It's my dream to create a safe space in my home where I pray..counsel chat to like minded people. God is real he hasn't forgotten us..just need to keep seeking him. I am 53 single no kids.

@saxmanjpr5092 3 года назад

DeeDee, then God have that as a GIFT to you, bit not everyone had that GIFT! Church folk tells people like mer that have been single all my life (I am pushing 50) that I "must have the gift of singleness, but the REALITY is that I have been FORCED onto mens groups and all that had done is cause me to have to fight off homosexual feelings with being tempted to make a pass at one of the dudes in church! It had ALSO caused me to keep HOOKERS employed...but do you really think I am going to be honest about that one with "accountability?" HA! Give me a break. Accountability only works because it is based off of thin king that others are going to be honest and I guarantee you that no one in a church is going to admit to seeing hookers due to the shame and stigma that is put on it.

Such great conversation.... My honest opinion is that The Church doesn't know what to do with single people. They dont mean to be exclusive, but systematically, the programs and settings are just that. I can only hope in the future The Church can be more inclusive. If anything most married women will be quick to point out what you might be doing wrong, that's why God has not released a husband. The truth no one knows why other people remain unmarried for longer, or never get married.

So true. Church can be the loneliness place and make you feel left out. I am a widow and I am currently not attending because I feel like there is a big spotlight on me yelling “you don’t fit”. I think the hardest experience was on Easter when they called for families to come up and take communion together. I have no family that attends this church so I almost did not attend after they posted the plan on Facebook. Thankfully, an acquaintance who was also alone took me by the hand and we went together. I survived but it was hard.

Yes I can identify with that. Many years ago, I went to a neighbourhood church, because they seemed to have a vibrant young teens programme and also a group called P.O.T,S (Parents of teenagers) so I thought, cool, as a single parent, perhaps I can get some support and meet some friends. Well, they had a gettogether, one Friday evening, and I took my home made cooked beetroot, whilst the other moms, opened these fancy containers of prepared Woolworths salads and expensive snacks. Then before we ate, the leader / host said, :All the husbands come and stand behind your wives" well,...what was I to do, I had no husband and felt very alone and 'different'. Also, the Youth Leader had taken the kids to an expensive snack bar to have milkshakes etc, I was not told, so my son did;nt have money with him, and the shame that I felt because this Youth Leader had to pay for his milkshake. I said "Never again!"!!

It really isn't good for us to be alone. Is there some online way you can find more support? I also struggle but try to take one day at a time and allow my self to grieve, cry, pray, take good care of me and then I've lately started to allow my self to really think about what I dream of (either a good man ever cross my ways or not) and I've realized I need to allow my self to be more creative (it morphs the pain into life and joy) and to work on healing wounds in me and learn how to actually love my self more.

If that means I don't fit in the "Church".... fine. I fit with Jesus! (And we are called to take Jesus to the world. When the world is SO diversified now, if we stick to the "married" culture and that is all we know how to relate to, we will turn away a lot of people in the world. If Jesus could relate to anyone, even tax collectors and "sinners", if we don't, then we are letting Him down badly!!)

@julieg9589 3 года назад

@@claudiacanales2662 I wish I had the answer. That is why i say i thank God for this peace, because it could have only come from Him. I did have a few years of tremendous pain. I called out to God and begged him to take this pain away. And slowly, but surely, it subsided. With no bitterness for my ex, and no real feelings of "missing out" while single. Being a single Mom of 3 probably contributes to me wanting to remain single, because I dont want them to see me with men coming in and out if my life. But before, I still had men I saw occasionally on days I did not have my kids. Mostly for attention and sex. God has completely taken that desire away from me and I am so grateful. I am not opposed to a committed, Christian partner, but I will know when the time is right and now is not that time for me. Praying for peace and happiness for you!

This is a great podcast. I'm 38 and single, never married , no children. I agree sometimes church can forget about single people as they are mainly geared towards families . However , in this current season my focus has always been that whatever my marital status .. single.or married ..it will be to give Glory to God and it's for His glory alone. Of course I feel the pain humanly speaking of loneliness and singleness, however , if I can give God more glory through being single than being married ..so be it. I also learnt that due to my flexibility (no responsibility of kids and hubby) I can fill a ministry void that others cannot. I often can offer support to families through offering babysitting services to give couples their date nights, I can offer other ways to help.. it's about making opportunities for Christ. It's an important thing and I make a difference. Now it might be that one day I'll get married but ..who knows..for now I'm happy giving God the glory and He understands my tears on the days when being single hurts a little.

That means that accountability is a joke! I have also SEEN cases when God allowed a "Jezebel" woman into a mans life and then told him that he would used that man to save her life and ONE DAY ill be married! "Ladies will never be happy with an overbearing man??" hat about the opposite when the WOMAN is overbearing? My Dad was married to one and she deceived him less that FIVE MINUTES after she said, "I do!" Read Genesis 27 to find out what kind of (step) "Mother" I had after my natural mom was MURDERED when I was an infant with the church telling my Dad that he should have given ME up for ADOPTION instead the Gods people who claim that the "love Jesus so much," IGNORED a SINLE FATHER! Abibical man (masterpiece) also deserves a biblical lady! What's with the double standard of not talking about both sides of the equation? You know, Hosea was told in Hosea 1:2 that he would marry a HOOKER! Using critical thinking, don't you think that he was a "John" and did not "cast his petals before swine?" Think about it! If YOU were seeing HOOKERS, I highly doubt you would write that in a book for the entire planer to read throughout the generations! I must ask, What happened in Hosea's life that would have caused that? Possibly a sexually abusive parent of the opposite gender than he was?

I used to visit a messianic church where the pastor would stay men should only greet men, and women greet women. I think many church leaders are afraid to allow men and women together for liability issues, just like why some men (especially pastors) refuse to meet with women alone.

If you don’t end up having a child of your own the lord probably has another plan for you where you will mother another child who doesn’t have a mom or something great I don’t know just trust in him and do not worry. Be at peace for the lord is with you .

@valej9387 3 года назад

@M M Just wanted to offer a friendly word of caution. Not every woman has a child because they "had" a man. Sometimes it's rape. Sometimes it's adoption. Sometimes the woman was simply "used." And, without knowing the details of someone else's story, please be cautious about assuming that a difference of current circumstances means their pain was less than yours. Whether or not it was intended, the "at least you" statement implies that someone you don't really know had it better off than you.... At which point the only options are to let themselves feel patronized or drag up their deepest pains as evidence before someone who really doesn't have a right to be a judge of their pain. "At least you," statements, especially made to people we don't know really well, can often be unintentionally harmful. Not saying that was the case this time, I can't speak for someone else, just suggesting it might be best to be a bit more cautious next time.

It is true that feeling and being treated differently is real. People who love and care about you and maybe strangers may be unaware of their behaviors. I'm 63 and haven't become a bride to a Christian man. I ask God to help me forgive a lady who asked me if I was gay because I was in my 40's and never married. I thank God for giving me strength to live single. Some singles have to shovel snow, scrape ice off the car, etc. Generally, singles ate no whooses. I'm thankful to be able to do those things. Thanks for your time.

Thank you Lisa, I have felt that abandonment and seclusion the last 18 moths since my husband left me, I do feel lonliness and shame, as I ask myself what did I do to deserve this, but in my heart as a daughter of the Lord, I did nothing. I believe God removed him because God new, what he was doing and heard the things that he was saying so he took him far away in 3 days, gone. But in my flesh I still feel the desertion and the shame, especially as he left to go and and live with a friend of mine in another state, that he had been having an affair with, before she moved away. It's been a terrible season for me but like you said every morning is new and God has really shone me some things in my singleness that I probably never would have seen if I were not in this situation, and my relationship, my trust and my faith lie solely in my Savior, Jesus. Loved your message, thank you for lifting me up today. Joyce

I’m 55 and never found the right man. Part of it is because people think I’m unattractive, I think I’m cute but nobody else does. Another part is because I’m heavyset and we are so focused on appearance. I’m not Christian but I really appreciated what she said about how religious communities exclude singles. In my religion it happens as well and people do have negative feelings and opinions about someone who never married. ‘Something must be wrong with a person who couldn’t get it together enough to find a mate’ or ‘what a loser’ are all thoughts that people have. I get pretty lonely but I also have moments where I recognize how freeing it is to be alone; I don’t have to stop and think about someone else as I go through my day I can just do what I want. So thank you for posting this.

But now that I’ve been single for the past five years I’ve grown even more because the Lord is showing me how to trust again, restoring my self-worth, and teaching me how he is my husband. In the season I have learned to rejoice in the opportunities to serve the Lord fully without distraction. This isn’t always easy as sometimes I feel lonely.

God reveled to me in a dream who my wife will be one day IF I go to school, even if it takes me 10 years to complete as my Dad always wanted me to do. (I never knew my mom) but my Dad came to me in a dream after he died and told me, Dont worry, WE"VE got 'Jane' for you." AND I learned ho to interpret may dreams and my MOMs name came up in an interpretation and that took place before my dad died...so she as behind all of this. One sorry about going to church (Colossians 2:16 says that it is not nessisasry to observe the Sabbath) Just focus on that Jesus wants you to do, and your "Boaz" WILL be revealed to you.

When I was 15 years old I started praying for a wife. I was always very romantic and enjoyed watching families together in Church. I was probably rejected for a date at least 50 times. I was also very friendly and tried to make as many friends possible and always served in the church volunteering as much as I could. Now I am 55, single, don't have a church, don't have any family and don't have any good friends. I know some people but they are not really friends. I still volunteer every weekend but never made good friends. I was actually a public relations for a few years in my job so I am good in connecting with people. Many times I prayed for friends. Maybe I've prayed more than 2,000 times for friends. I do try to go after people, I call, I have initiative, etc... But there is no way to make friends. The last church I went I gave more than 20 business cards but I never got any call, invitation, e-mail from anyone. After attending for an year I stopped going and nobody ever called. I am single so there is a lot of prejudice against single people. This became a forbade topic like Racism. Everybody knows there is racism but people pretend there is not. People know that there is prejudice against singles in church but everybody pretends there is not. I am always alone on Thanksgiving and Christmas. I know some Christians that I've helped many times but they never invite me for Thanksgiving or Christmas though I know they invite other people. I've tried attending different churches for the last 15 years but was never able to create community. I am single, I am lonely and it is not good for me.

airplane800 you are not alone! I too have gone through rejection and the friends at church has never happened for me either. How I graved for a Christian friend but it never happened for me either. Stay strong my friend. In all gentleness.

Hi airplane800 :) Like Ms. Dina said, you are not alone. I feel alone too often. I live in Phoenix, Arizona, and I am making new friends, but it has been a challenge. Nothing weird here; I am an attorney who performs document review for our firm and if you ever want to connect, I am on Instagram as "Packers1881". I am not currently on Twitter or Facebook as I try to keep the social media to a minimum. Praying for you and your needs. Finally, if you would like to keep in touch in another way, we can send each other uplifting messages and prayers. My personal email is: marquisstarks26@gmail.com

In the same boat. I can relate to most of what you said. It's very very tough for me.

Omg... I listen to so many podcasts hosted by phenomenal pastors, disciples, and just people who LOVE the Lord... that I felt I had it all covered. Everyone has their unique style of spreading the gospel. However, tonight I was lead to this channel... to this honest interview that felt like a warm hug... THANK YOU

I love how you talk about your "carb" addiction in other shows I've seen you, i grew up a big child and ever since i can remember I've always been trying to lose weight, yo yo dieting, fear of gaining weight, being ugly and unattractive... Writing this, i finally see the need to go for therapy, i just don't know where to start. I want to love myself, and understand the love of God for me so much that "not being loved" by "a man" doesn't bother me.

@denniseespendez3968 3 года назад

Thank you for this powerful message. We need more of this! God bless you both!! :) I have chosen to stay single since I divorced when my boys were babies. I can relate this "don't fit, and moments of loneliness"... as a single, special needs mom ( I have a boy that rocks an extra chromosome)...I needed this so so much during these tough times.

The broader church really isn’t sensitive to singles in the church and it really is so sad. I have so many things I could speak about that has broken the hearts of me and my single friends.

It's interesting because this topic came up just this week in a meeting. They've had programmes, prayers, sessions for marriages and families several times for the year. Then they announced that they're having a singles programme for persons 20 to 40. Several persons asked why the age limit. The response? They'll plan something for the older singles another time. But it was pointed out that they always say that. Sigh. Most singles don't want to plan their own programmes because they are already doing so much in the church. So then their needs are never met, while they are busy helping others. (Sorry, didn't mean for the response to be so long)
