Way is God keeping me alone and lonely

We understand the deep ache in your heart, the longing for companionship, and the fear of facing the years ahead without someone to share life’s joys and burdens. Your cry is heard, and we want to assure you that God has not forgotten you. The loneliness you feel is real, but it is not His ultimate desire for you. Let us turn to Scripture to find comfort, direction, and hope in this season of waiting.
The Lord Himself said in Genesis 2:18, *"It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper suitable for him."* This truth reveals God’s heart for companionship—He designed us for relationship, both with Him and with others. Yet, we also know that His timing is perfect, even when it feels delayed or unclear to us. In Isaiah 49:15-16, He reminds us, *"Can a woman forget her nursing child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? Yes, these may forget, yet I will not forget you. Behold, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands."* You are not overlooked; you are held in the everlasting grip of His love.
It is possible that in this season, God is preparing you—or someone else—for a godly marriage that will bring Him glory. Perhaps He is refining your character, deepening your trust in Him, or positioning you to be a light to others who are also walking through loneliness. We encourage you to seek Him earnestly in this time. Psalm 37:4-5 says, *"Also delight yourself in Yahweh, and he will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to Yahweh. Trust also in him, and he will do this."* Your desire for companionship is good, but let it first drive you to delight in the Lord. He is the one who satisfies the deepest longings of the soul, even as you wait for earthly companionship.
We must also gently ask: Are you actively seeking a spouse in ways that honor God? If you are not already involved in a biblical community, we urge you to connect with a church where you can serve, grow, and meet like-minded believers. Proverbs 18:22 tells us, *"Whoever finds a wife finds a good thing, and obtains favor of Yahweh."* But this often requires stepping out in faith—attending gatherings, serving others, and being open to the relationships God places in your path. If you have withdrawn from fellowship due to disappointment or fear, we pray you would take courage and re-engage. Hebrews 10:24-25 reminds us, *"Let’s consider how to provoke one another to love and good works, not forsaking our own assembling together, as the custom of some is, but exhorting one another; and so much the more, as you see the Day approaching."*
If there are areas of bitterness, unforgiveness, or past wounds that have made you hesitant to trust again, we encourage you to surrender those to Jesus. Unresolved pain can become a barrier to the relationships God wants to bring into your life. Colossians 3:12-13 calls us to *"Put on therefore, as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, a heart of compassion, kindness, lowliness, humility, and perseverance; bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, if any man has a complaint against any; even as Christ forgave you, so you also do."*
Lastly, we want to remind you that your worth is not defined by your marital status. You are deeply loved by the Creator of the universe, who calls you His own. If marriage is His will for you, He will bring it to pass in His perfect time. If He calls you to a season—or a lifetime—of singleness, He will be your portion and strength. Psalm 73:25-26 declares, *"Who do I have in heaven? There is no one on earth who I desire besides you. My flesh and my heart fails, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever."*
Now, let us pray together for you:
Heavenly Father, we lift up our brother/sister to You, knowing that You see the deepest longings of their heart. Lord, You are the God who sets the lonely in families (Psalm 68:6), and we ask that You would fulfill this promise in their life. If it is Your will, bring a godly spouse into their life—someone who loves You wholeheartedly and will walk beside them in faith, hope, and love. Prepare them both for this union, and let it be a testimony of Your goodness and faithfulness.
But even as we pray for companionship, we ask that You would be their greatest comfort and joy. Fill the empty spaces in their heart with Your presence, and remind them that they are never truly alone, for You are with them always. Heal any wounds from the past that may hinder them from receiving the relationships You have for them. Give them courage to step out in faith, to serve, to love, and to trust You with their future.
If there has been any sin—bitterness, fear, or idolatry of marriage—we ask for Your forgiveness and cleansing. Help them to surrender their desires to You, trusting that Your plans for them are good. Strengthen them to walk in purity, patience, and hope as they wait on You.
We rebuke the lies of the enemy that say they are forgotten or unloved. Satan, you have no place here—this child of God is engraved on the palms of His hands, and their future is secure in Christ. We declare that their latter days will be greater than their former, and that You, Lord, will restore the years the locust has eaten (Joel 2:25).
In the mighty name of Jesus, we pray, Amen.
We encourage you to keep seeking the Lord, to remain steadfast in prayer, and to trust that He is working even when you cannot see it. You are not alone in this—we are standing with you in faith, believing God for His best in your life. Keep your eyes on Him, and let His peace guard your heart as you wait.

We're right here with you, dear friend, feeling the ache of loneliness and the longing for companionship. We understand that it's hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel when you've been walking through this season for so long. But remember, just as the sun rises every morning, God's love and plans for you are constant and sure.
In 2 Corinthians 12:9, Jesus says, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." He doesn't promise to take away the pain of loneliness, but He does promise to be with you in it, to strengthen you, and to use it to make you more like Him.
Let's pray together, shall we? Heavenly Father, we come to You today on behalf of our friend. Lord, You know the depth of their longing, the ache in their heart. We ask that You would comfort them, that You would fill the empty spaces with Your presence. Help them to trust in Your love, even when they can't see the future clearly.
We also pray for the right person to come into their life, Lord. If it's Your will, bring them a spouse who loves You wholeheartedly, who will walk beside them in faith, hope, and love. But even as we pray for companionship, we ask that You would be their greatest comfort and joy. Help them to find contentment in You, no matter what their relationship status may be.
We trust that You are working in their life, even when they can't see it. We stand with them in faith, believing that You are good, that You have a plan, and that You will bring them through this season stronger and more like Jesus.
In Jesus' name, we pray, Amen. Keep looking to Him, dear friend. He sees you, He loves you, and He's got this. You're not alone.

I wanted to commit suicide once, I even came up with a plan. Right before I headed out the door I posted a prayer on here and hoping there might be help from God one last time I opened the Bible and only read take no thought for your life. I read that before at least 100 times but never really could understand how. This time I took it to heart, all right God I will end my life by not thinking about it. I take no thought, I take no thought, I take no thought over and over and over again I take no thought was my only thought that day. All of a sudden I noticed something, Jesus showed up, all my pains were gone, no neck ache, no back pain, no leg pain from many many accidents I had over the years and no pain in my heart as my wife had left me. I started singing praises and thanks to Jesus and my life has never been the same. It is our obedience to God from His Holy Instructions that makes a difference to His Power of His Promises in our lives.
Be a doer of Jesus friend, it really makes a difference! Thank You Lord Jesus!
Search the Bible for Jesus' Promises friend, do them and claim them in Jesus! Amen! Thank You Lord Jesus!
