Ugly's comments may have been sound but I think they could have been said differently. Like that saying "You can catch more flies with honey than vinegar" Don't take down your thread, it's a part of posting. If you feel like your having problems with anything you shouldn't feel uncomfortable posting them on here. Your gonna get replies from all kinds of people. Anyhow I guess I'm one of those rare people who believe that God did make someone for me and I was also one of those people that wasn't sure if they would be content being alone 
But I also know that is in God's hands and it will happen whenever he decides for it to be so, if he decides for it to be so. So until then there's no need to sit and wonder. Go out and live your life for God and if you still find yourself thinking those thoughts (like We all do) just remind yourself "I'm not going to worry about it, it's in God's hands" So Good Luck to you and God Bless

Thanks. I guess my post wasn't worded correctly, forgive me, i am not a writer and english is not my first language but I am glad that many people kinda get what I really wanted to say. I have decided to keep this thread alive.

What ugly said is terse but it's 'truth,' too, and, we should welcome 'truth,' God says that He will make marriage a great thing, but He is the one who will put marriage together.
I'm not married, never been, never had, OK, stopping there, but I will say this, I am WAITING on Him, and, God does say in Matthew 10, that what He has brought together, let no one tear asunder (apart). So, we are to KNOW that God is who brings us a partner, and, what I did like of the OP was that she is wanting prayer that God will bring her a partner.
That is good, we are to pray to God in our lives, but, again, more truth, at least, the best example I can think of, is not our praying for a certain someone but instead praying for a certain Someone, if you will, to show us His will that is perfect for our life to follow Him. Afterall, it may seem that life is all about 'love' but it's really much more than that, it is all about living our lives to give glory to God. "Whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God."
And, 'love' is a huge part of that, as 1 Cor. 13 says, better to have 'love' than 'faith' or 'hope' even, love, indeed, conquers a lot, but, please keep in mind, miladies, seeking a man for love, but only one love conquers all, His. Because He loved us, and, sent His Son to die for us, we can be with the promise of the 'peace' of having Him in our life forevermore

Sorry, sheyprincess, that you felt scolded by Ugly , he meant well, he meant 'truth.'
And, we all know, 'the truth will set you free.' And, challenges are good, they make us grow. Without challenges, we don't grow. It takes faith to get through challenges and, for Christians, that faith will come through 'faith in Him.' (Phil 3: 8,9)

It's about how He says it to us, sheyprincess, milady, it's not about us, it never is about us, it never was about us. We are to follow Him, for all things, marriage included, and, as was said, your praying for a partner is fine, just do so in understanding the same words Jesus said when He began to sweat drops of blood at the Garden of Gethsemane, as He realized the magniture of the hour that was VERY soon to come, and He would be arrested by roman soldiers and FEEL real human pain (Mark 14:33 "My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death.") for things He did NOTHING to deserve pain for.
“Abba, [SUP]f[/SUP] Father,” he said, “everything is possible for you. Take this cup from me. Yet not what I
will, but what you will.”
So, pray away, hey, 1 Thessalonians 5: 17 tells us, "Pray without ceasing," this is good, just be ready AFTER you pray to follow Him, be acceptive of His will for your life . The Lord leads

Hi Shey,
I would love to pray for you, as the Spirit leads. That's basically my offer for anyone who asks.
Can I recommend a book on marriage in the meantime? Assuming you're in the same boat as many, you know someone who's been married and/ or you know someone who has been divorced. Before you get into finding the right man, my prayer might be something akin to you understanding more of what you will get into with that man. Check out "Love and War" by John and Stasi Eldredge, it's pretty honest, revealing and thorough and they've been married just shy of twenty-five years with no signs of letting go. Blessings as you draw close to God; I agree with the post that said Seek first His Kingdom as well.

Hi Shey!
I believe God made man and woman together, simply woman received her distinguished form later. So I believe There is a man for every woman.But God has kept a time of separation before the union, and in this time gap couples are singles and in this duration I believe it is good if we unite ourselves solely with God and prove ourselves to be the sons and daughters of God who make Him proud , and when He considers us worthy in His eyes He will give us our crowns of kings and queens and every king will have his queen and every queen will have her king.God bless all the singles soon. Amen.

In my case...And I am just speaking from my experience...I grew up in a very violet environment and never realized back in the day, my pride was the root of my propensity to be blunt...and I also prided myself on being that way. I dont know weather this person ugly was being blunt out of Love or Pride, and I wouldn't never try to make a call on what is in another mans heart, I am guessing however, he or she had your best interest in mind as a Christian...But...if a blunt object causes you to grow, just say thank you. If not...say thanks you anyway...None of us like being offended. Being a recovered hard _ss I can tell you sometimes their is lots of love behind those blows that come at us. Were all just learning day to day with tools that were passed down to us by the world, and the men in the world. However, in Christ we get the opportunity to see everything through a brand new set of glasses, so in Christ, The Holy Spirit knows your heart, and will do whats right for you in the long run. Problem is, whats right for us sometimes isn't what we desire...Thats when we have to let go of the ranes, and trust God completely...Not so easy I know, but when you strip all the trimmings away Trust (in Him) is what it is all about..His Grace really is sufficient sister. And I pray your desises are Gods plans. Peace
