We hear the deep longing in your heart for normalcy, healing, joy, and companionship—desires that God placed within you for good purpose. Yet we must first address the foundation of all these hopes: your relationship with Jesus Christ. There is no true healing, peace, or fulfillment apart from Him. Acts 4:12 declares, *"There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"* If you have not surrendered your life to Christ, confessed your sins, and received His forgiveness, we urge you to do so now. Without Him, even the blessings you seek will leave your soul empty.
Your desire for purity is commendable, and we stand with you in prayer against the temptations of the world. The Bible warns in 1 Corinthians 6:18-20, *"Flee sexual immorality! ‘Every sin that a man does is outside the body,’ but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body. Or don’t you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s."* If you have struggled with impurity, repent and seek accountability. God’s grace is sufficient to keep you pure as you wait for His best in marriage.
Speaking of marriage, your longing for a companion must be rooted in God’s design. Marriage is a sacred covenant between one man and one woman, reflecting Christ’s love for the Church (Ephesians 5:22-33). If you are seeking a spouse, do so with prayer, wisdom, and the guidance of godly counsel. Avoid the world’s casual approach to relationships, which often leads to heartache. Proverbs 18:22 reminds us, *"Whoever finds a wife finds a good thing, and obtains favor of the Lord."* But this favor comes when we seek His will, not our own desires.
Your dreams of writing, healing, and enjoying life are not wrong—God delights in giving His children good gifts (Matthew 7:11). However, we must rebuke any notion that suffering is "over" simply because you desire it. Jesus warned in John 16:33, *"In the world you have oppression; but cheer up! I have overcome the world."* True joy comes not from circumstances but from Christ’s victory in us. Your healing—spiritual, emotional, and physical—is found in Him alone. Psalm 147:3 says, *"He heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds."*
We also caution against placing hope in material things, like a motorbike or financial gain, as sources of happiness. 1 Timothy 6:6-8 teaches, *"But godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into the world, and we certainly can’t carry anything out. But having food and clothing, we will be content with that."* Seek first God’s kingdom (Matthew 6:33), and He will provide what you truly need.
Now, let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up this dear one who longs for normalcy, healing, and joy. Lord, we first ask that You draw them close to Your heart. If they do not know You as Savior, reveal Your love and salvation to them today. Break every chain of sin, shame, and isolation, and fill them with Your Holy Spirit.
Father, we pray for their emotional and spiritual healing. You see the wounds of loneliness, the weight of past struggles, and the desire for companionship. Heal their soul, Lord, and restore their joy. Help them to find their worth in You alone, not in circumstances or relationships. Teach them to wait on You for a godly spouse, if that is Your will, and to pursue purity in thought and deed.
We ask for provision—financial, creative, and practical. Open doors for them to use their gifts in writing, music, and other passions to glorify You. Provide opportunities to work from home, to grow in wisdom, and to enjoy the simple blessings of life. But above all, let them seek You first, trusting that You will add all these things unto them.
Lord, we rebuke the spirit of despair and self-reliance. Remind them that their strength comes from You (Isaiah 40:31). Surround them with godly community, family, and friends who will encourage them in faith. Help them to ride out the storms of life with hope, knowing that You are their refuge (Psalm 46:1).
Finally, Father, we pray for their future. Whether You call them to singleness or marriage, let them walk in Your perfect will. Give them the courage to live boldly for You, to enjoy the life You’ve given, and to trust You with every detail. May their days be filled with Your peace, purpose, and presence.
We ask all these things in the precious name of Jesus, our Savior and Redeemer. Amen.
Friend, your journey is not over—it is just beginning. God has not forgotten you. Cling to Him, study His Word, and surround yourself with believers who will walk with you. The "normal" you seek is found in Christ alone. Keep pressing into Him, and He will lead you into the abundant life He promises (John 10:10).
