Praying for powerful, meaningful friendships

[Julian B.G.]

I am twenty two years old. I was home-schooled for middle and high school, so I never made a single friend since I was 11 years old, which I found simply devastating as a kid. I held out hope that after high school I would be able to make friends in college and was optimisitc, but I just can't seem to build one with any actual meaning here, even if we do say hi every now and then, there's just no real friendship building. I feel that my window is permanently closed and that God is refusing to open it. There was one girl I met last year that I felt could have became a meaningful friendship - she was a believer like me and we enjoyed each other's company, but she quickly moved before we got to do anything - ANYTHING at all together, no shared memories, I never even got to sit next to her in class! I feel that the Lord has broke my heart and let me down. I know how much friendship is worth, yet I've never had one in over ten years, and I'm starting to believe I will never truly have one. Jesus will you ever grant me a single friend? How I prefer quality over quantity! Please pray that the Lord may grant this petition I have been praying for over 10 years that has sent me to bed with tears in my eyes.

Brothers and sisters please share your testimonies: Have any of you had any truly great friendships made after high-school? Can two believers in Christ of differing genders pull off being just friends, atleast while both unmarried (i don't know if they can - but I would like to believe they can).
