    I am friends with a male. We both like each other. I would like for our friendship to develop into a relationship one day, but he doesn’t want to be in one due to being lied to in every relationship he has been in the past. Please pray if it is God’s will for us to be in a relationship, let his will be done. If not, please pray that I would be able to accept the fact that it is not meant to be, and God would bless me with someone else who I would be happy with. Please also pray for my friend that he will be able to let his guard down one day to trust another female, whether it is me or someone else, to be in a relationship with.

    THE LORD WANTS TO BRING A MATE TO THOSE WHO WILL ASK HIM AND HAVE THE PATIENCE.  SOME SETTLE FOR SATAN’S PROVISION INSTEAD OF ASKING GOD FOR PATIENCE. IF THEY WOULD LOOK TO JESUS AND SEEK TO PLEASE HIM, RATHER THAN BEING CONCERNED ABOUT A MATE.  SON THEY WILL FIND THE RIGHT ONE CROSSING THEIR PATH. I PRAY FOR YOUR FRIEND TO PUT HIS GTRUST IN GOD TO HELP HIM OPEN UP TO WOMEN.-

    “... It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a help meet for him” (Genesis 2:18 KJV).

    “Now the Lord God said, It is not good (sufficient, satisfactory) that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper meet (suitable, adapted, completing) for him” (Genesis 2:18).

    The Lord wants to bring a mate to those who will ask Him and have the patience to wait for His choice.

    There are some single people who are constantly out looking for a mate, and they are miserable because God has not sent them one yet. They have prayed and prayed, yet they still have no mate. Some settle for Satan’s provision instead of asking God for the patience to wait for the one whom He would send. If they would look to Jesus and seek to please Him, rather than being concerned about a mate, soon they would find the right one crossing their path. Looking for a man or woman to just keep them from being lonely or just to fill their needs or to be a father or mother to their children should not be the only reasons for desiring a mate. They also need to be concerned about what kind of husband or wife they would be for a mate. These single people are still much in the flesh if they just want their own needs met. They should ask the Lord to fill them with His love and peace.

    Being single is an important time to prepare us for marriage. It can also be a time to experience a closer communion with God. As we seek God to cleanse us of the world and help us become the kind of wife or husband that would bless someone, we will soon find that we are not lonely. First, the Lord would begin using us to bless others; then we will find we are content in Him. Eventually, in God’s plan and timing, He will bless us with a wonderful mate so that both lives can be a witness for Him. We believe if a marriage cannot glorify the Lord, then it would be better to remain alone. There are worse things than being alone. One of these is to be out of God’s will by compromising and marrying someone who does not feel the same way we do about the Lord.

    Marriage is the second major choice we make in our lives, and we should never enter into it without much prayer. To rush into a marriage can be disastrous. The most important decision of our lives, of course, is our decision to follow the Lord. This decision is not a one-time declaration, but a daily determination to follow Jesus above all. If we allow the emotional or soulish realm to dominate our lives we become more susceptible to the enemy leading us astray through someone. This area of the flesh should be brought under the Lord’s subjection so that Satan does not get the advantage and consequently destroy our lives and ministries. So many have failed the Lord because they chose a man or woman over the Lord.

    Have faith that the Lord can and will guide you to your mate, whether is this particular friend or someone else. Be patient on the Lord for his time and his way because it is the best for your well being and comfort. As humans we are misguided alone but with the help of our Holy spirits we shall have light shown on our paths. May the Lord bless you with his will and abundance.
