We hear your heartache and loneliness, and we want you to know that your longing for companionship is seen by the Lord. The desire for a godly marriage is a good and holy desire, for Scripture tells us, "He who finds a wife finds a good thing, and obtains favor from Yahweh" (Proverbs 18:22). However, we must first address the language used in your request, seeking a "boyfriend" rather than a husband does not align with God’s design for relationships. Courtship should always have marriage as its goal, not merely companionship for its own sake. The Bible calls us to pursue relationships with purity and intentionality, as "marriage is honorable in all, and the bed undefiled; but God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterers" (Hebrews 13:4).

Your struggles with feeling overlooked and the pain of unfulfilled longings are real, and we grieve with you. The Lord sees your tears and collects them in His bottle (Psalm 56:8). Your worth is not defined by your ability to bear children or by the attention of men, but by the fact that you are fearfully and wonderfully made in the image of God (Psalm 139:14). We must also gently rebuke the lie that your value is diminished because you cannot have children. God’s plans for you are good, and His timing is perfect, even when it doesn’t align with our own desires.

We pray now, lifting you before the throne of grace:

"Heavenly Father, we come before You with heavy hearts, lifting up this precious daughter of Yours. Lord, You know her deepest longings, her loneliness, and her pain. We ask that You would heal the wounds of rejection and disappointment in her past. Replace her sorrow with Your peace and her longing with contentment in You. Father, if it is Your will, bring a godly man into her life, a man who loves You above all else, who will cherish her as Christ cherishes the Church, and who will lead her in righteousness. Let their relationship be built on Your foundation, with marriage as the holy covenant You designed. Guard her heart from impatience and from settling for less than Your best. Remind her daily that her identity is found in You alone, not in her marital status or her ability to bear children. Fill her with hope and joy as she waits on You. We ask this in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, the One who redeems and restores all things. Amen."

In the waiting, we encourage you to draw near to the Lord. Seek Him first, and trust that He will add all these things to you (Matthew 6:33). Spend time in His Word, allowing it to renew your mind and shape your desires. Surround yourself with a community of believers who can speak truth into your life and pray with you. And remember, your story is not over, God is still writing it, and He delights in surprising His children with blessings they never expected.

If you have not yet surrendered your life to Jesus Christ, we urge you to do so today. Salvation is found in no one else, for "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" (Acts 4:12). Confess your sins, believe in your heart that Jesus died for you and rose again, and invite Him to be the Lord of your life. This is the first and most important step in every area of your life, including your relationships.

Thank you for trusting us with something so close to your heart. We hear the weariness in your words, and we’re honestly sorry for the pain of feeling passed over year after year, and for the grief of knowing you can’t have children. That’s a real loss, and it’s okay to mourn it. None of that means you’re less worthy of being chosen and loved.

It can be tempting to believe the lie that being overlooked by others means we’re overlooked by God, but that simply isn’t true. Your life isn’t on hold waiting for a boyfriend to validate it. You are already fully known, fully seen, and held secure in Christ’s love, even in the long, quiet seasons. That doesn’t erase the ache, but it does give us a steady ground to stand on when loneliness presses in.

One small, practical thing that sometimes helps is to shift from seeking a relationship to building a life that’s rich in genuine connection. Not a strategy to meet someone, but simply to be known. A small group, a team that serves together, a regular coffee with a few friends, these ordinary threads can gently ease the weight of isolation and remind us we’re not walking alone. It’s not a replacement for what you want, but it can steady your heart for the road ahead.

We’re praying with you now:

Jesus, you see this dear woman right where she is, aching and weary. Draw near and hold her hope safe when it feels too fragile to carry. Comfort her in the places of loss, and bring a few faithful people around her who will truly see her and treasure her as you do. Give her courage to keep her heart open, and fill her with your peace that outlasts every disappointment. In your name, Amen.

Lord Jesus please richly bless, protect and guide them. Please help them in accordance with your perfect will Father. Thank you and praise you. In your holy name I pray. Amen.

[Spurgeon]

Your heart’s cry is known in heaven, and the longing you have expressed is one that many a soul has poured out in secret before the Lord. Yet consider, dear soul, that the deepest relationship for which you were made is not first with a creature, but with your Creator. The marriage bond of which Scripture speaks so tenderly is but a shadow of that union which Christ has with His church. When He says, “Your Maker is your Husband,” He takes all the responsibilities that belong to that condition. Before you seek another, have you first sought Him? Have you rested in His everlasting love, which is secured by a relationship no sin or sorrow can sever? If indeed the Lord is unto you a Father, He will always give you a father’s love, and no earthly affection can compare with that.

I fear lest the repeated disappointments you mention should lead you into a snare, that you might be tempted to despair or to lower the standard of godliness which ought to adorn one who names the name of Christ. Pray perpetually, for you know not what temptations may assail you. Do not run ahead of the Lord to grasp a thing which He in wisdom withholds for a time, or perhaps for all your earthly days. The godly man’s path is a way everlasting, and often it leads through the valley of loneliness that we might learn to say in truth, “Lead me in the way everlasting.” That path is not marked by having all our desires fulfilled, but by trusting Him who cannot err and will never do us an unkindness.

Your sorrow that you can no longer bear children touches a tender place, yet remember that fruitfulness before God is not measured in the cradle. The two anointed ones in Zechariah’s vision were nothing in themselves but godly men who, by their lives, kept up the sacred testimony. So too may your life bear abundant fruit unto God through faith, prayer, and a quiet, steadfast walk before Him. The prayers of the godly hedge us about; how many blessings may yet flow from your life as you abide in Christ!

I do not bid you stifle your desire, but bring it into sweet submission to your heavenly Father. If it be for your good and His glory, He who gave Isaac to Sarah in old age can bring a godly man into your life in His own time. But see to it that the chief aim of your soul is not a boyfriend, but to be found in Christ, adorned with that meek and quiet spirit which is of great price in His sight. Let the way of your godly forebears be your path, and deviate not, either to the right or to the left, from the course of holy principle. Till then, and even if the answer tarries, may you rest in the love that is from everlasting to everlasting, and find Christ himself to be the portion that can never be taken away.
