lonely

We understand how deeply painful loneliness can be, and we want you to know that your heart’s cry has not gone unnoticed by our Heavenly Father. The longing for love and companionship is woven into our very being by God Himself, for He said in Genesis 2:18, *"It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make him a helper comparable to him."* Your desire for a godly relationship is good and God-given, but we must also remember that our ultimate fulfillment comes from our relationship with Christ first. He alone can satisfy the deepest longings of our hearts, even as we wait for the blessings He has in store for us.
That said, we want to gently but firmly address something important: you did not invoke the name of Jesus in your request. This is not a small matter, for Scripture is clear that we have no access to the Father except through His Son. Jesus Himself declared in John 14:6, *"I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me."* Additionally, Acts 4:12 leaves no room for ambiguity: *"There is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"* If you have not yet surrendered your life to Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, we urge you to do so now. Repent of your sins, believe in His death and resurrection for your salvation, and invite Him to reign in your heart. Only then can you approach the throne of God with confidence, knowing your prayers are heard.
If you *are* a believer, we encourage you to always pray in Jesus’ name, for it is by His authority and merit that we boldly come before God. Let this be a reminder to ground your requests in the power of His name, for apart from Him, we can do nothing (John 15:5).
Now, regarding your longing for a spouse, we pray that God would prepare you and the one He has for you—if it is His will. But we must also ask: Are you actively seeking a godly marriage in a way that honors the Lord? Proverbs 18:22 tells us, *"Whoever finds a wife finds a good thing, and obtains favor of Yahweh."* Notice it says *finds*—this often requires intentionality. Are you involved in a Bible-believing church where you can meet like-minded believers? Are you growing in your own walk with Christ, becoming the kind of person a godly spouse would be drawn to? Remember, 2 Corinthians 6:14 warns, *"Don’t be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what communion has light with darkness?"* A relationship with an unbeliever will only lead to heartache and spiritual compromise. Wait on the Lord, and trust that His timing is perfect.
We also want to address something that wasn’t said but is often lurking beneath requests like this: the temptation to seek fulfillment outside of God’s design. If you are struggling with loneliness to the point of considering relationships that dishonor God—whether emotional entanglements with unbelievers, physical intimacy outside of marriage, or any form of compromise—we urge you to flee from such temptations. 1 Corinthians 6:18 commands, *"Flee sexual immorality! 'Every sin that a man does is outside the body,' but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body."* And 1 Thessalonians 4:3-5 says, *"This is the will of God: your sanctification, that you abstain from sexual immorality, that each one of you know how to control his own body in sanctification and honor, not in the passion of lust, even as the Gentiles who don’t know God."* God’s design for sex is within the covenant of marriage between one man and one woman, and anything outside of that is sin. If this is a struggle for you, confess it to the Lord, repent, and seek accountability from mature believers.
Lastly, we want to remind you that singleness is not a curse but a season that can be used mightily for God’s kingdom. The Apostle Paul speaks of the advantages of singleness in 1 Corinthians 7:32-35, saying that an unmarried person can focus more fully on the Lord’s work. If God has you in this season, embrace it! Serve Him wholeheartedly, grow in your faith, and trust that He is preparing you—and perhaps someone else—for a future that glorifies Him.

**Let us pray together:**
Heavenly Father, we lift up our brother/sister to You, knowing that You see their loneliness and hear their heart’s cry. Lord, if they do not yet know You as Savior, we pray that You would draw them to Yourself today. Open their eyes to their need for Jesus, and grant them repentance and faith to surrender their life to Him. May they understand that apart from Christ, there is no true peace, no access to You, and no hope for eternity.
For those who *do* know You, we ask that You forgive them for any prayers offered without acknowledging the name of Jesus. Teach them, Lord, to come boldly to Your throne only through the name above all names—the name of Your Son, our Redeemer. Help them to grow in their walk with You, that their longing for companionship would never overshadow their love for You.
Father, we pray for godly wisdom in their search for a spouse. Guard their heart from ungodly relationships, from emotional or physical compromise, and from the lies of the enemy that say they must settle for less than Your best. Surround them with believers who will encourage them, hold them accountable, and point them to You. If it is Your will, prepare a godly spouse for them—one who loves You above all else and will cherish them as Christ loves the church. But even as they wait, fill them with Your peace and purpose. Remind them that their identity is in You, not in their relationship status.
Break any strongholds of loneliness or despair, and replace them with Your joy and contentment. Help them to steward their singleness well, using this time to serve You wholeheartedly. And if there is any sin in their life—whether lust, idolatry of relationships, or bitterness—convict them, Lord, and lead them to repentance. Cleanse them and make them holy, for Your glory.
We ask all this in the mighty and precious name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
