I am frustrated !

[lou]

Everyone of my friends is dating but me and I know I should be patient and wait on Gods timing but it is so hard ! I live in an area where there are not many saved people and its hard to find a christian guy. The guys who do like me I can't date because they are lost. Please give me your comments!

 

[Jesuslovesu]

Sweetheart being bold takes a strength that you know the Lord has given you ! It is often harder to go against the crowd (dating and things of that nature) than it is to do what you know whats right. Our flesh wants to dominate and that is when you really need to surround yourself in prayer studing the scriptures and good christian fellowship.
One of the many benifits of Christ coming in the flesh is that He knows what you are going thru right now and let Him comfort you!

Proverbs 3: 5-6 (Amplified Bible)
5 Lean on, trust in, and be confident in the Lord with all your heart and mind and do not rely on your own insight or understanding. 6 In all your ways know, recognize, and acknowledge Him, and He will direct and make straight and plain your paths.
If you ever want please fell free to contact me

Hey this is my first time on but you gotta know something, I used to know how that felt and it is hard waiting. I rushed into several relationships and it really drew me away from God. It's not worth it anyways, you're really special and God's timing is perfect!!
You rock hun!!!!

I often find that I need to take stock of my priorities. When he was praying in the garden, before he was arrested, Jesus presented his desire to God three times, and three times he put the will of God before his own (in that passage, at least). He had his prioritites straight. We should constantly seek to make ours like his.
Also, If we seek to build up a relationship, It'll come crashing down if God isn't building it up for us. You might find it helpful to read Phillipians 4:6-7 and psalm 127. And don't forget the best tool in the box, prayer.

Well, I hope I wrote something useful.

God Bless

Hi Laura, I can understand how you must feel & what you are saying. When you're with your friends they're with thier boyfriends. Kind of makes you feel a 'little' left out.

But, never for get this Scripture: "Delight yourself also in The LORD, And HE shall give you the desires of your heart." {Psalms 37:4}

 

[Etienne Marais]

Shame. Can I pray for you that God will help you to get rid of your frustrations????

 

[Giggles4God]

Laura,

I know how you feel. When I was a teen, I never went on a date. Nope NEVER! I didn't 'date' until I was 21 and that didn't turn out so well. And then, I met my husband.

Of course, when I was a teen, I wanted to date, but I think God was saving me from all the hurt and heartache of 'dating' and then breaking up, etc. I'd rather court anyways. You know...courting is the one that has the end result of marriage or at least marriage is the reason to court.

I would take all the advice to heart that was given. God knows best. I know..lol. So, even though there aren't any Christian guys around (they are out there! I promise!) and you feel maybe like the 'third wheel', just know that God has a plan for you. It might not be dating tons of guys, but maybe it is keeping yourself pure and for just one guy...they only guy that gets to hold your hand and kiss you to be your husband. Awesome uh?

Well, I don't exactly know any advice to give you because the others before me have pretty much said it all, but I do want you to know that you are not the only one going through this as I am experiencing it as well. (Although I am younger I can still relate.)

But anyway just know other people go through this as well. Just keep being patient and pray is all I can really say.
