I need prayer for an ongoing struggle in my life

I'm a single lady and ever since I was 12 or 13 (and I'm now 30) I've struggled with being attracted to males. Now I know every human being on the plant has this struggle to a degree of some sort. But for me it's just way out of hand. Everytime I meet a man at Church I'm instantly thinking within seconds "is he single? Is he attracted to me?" And it just continues on from there within seconds. It's always been that way for me and I hate it. Just once I would like to meet men and not think that stuff. I keep catching myself looking to see if they are wearing a wedding ring. I keep having to battle feeling sorry for myself every Valentines Day. It's been like this since I was 12 or 13 and I just don't want this battle anymore. I don't want to be attracted to anyone at all ever for the rest of my life. This battle does get worse but I will not go into detail as there is no need but yeah it gets very troublesome and out of hand very quickly. I'm afraid if this keeps up one day I'll get myself in a lot of trouble that I don't want. I have prayed for a relationship before but I believe the answer is no and that's fine I accept that and if that's the case then there's no logical reason for me to be attracted to men anymore. Please pray for me that GOD will take away all of my attraction for men and that I will never ever be attracted to men again and I will only see them as friends totally platonic.

No offense, but that does seem a little extreme to me. It almost sounds non-human.

Nonetheless, I will pray that God brings you a greater sense of satisfaction and appreciation with the single life.

You sound perfectly normal to me. The answer may be 'no' today but tomorrow it may be 'yes' What I'm going to do is pray for God's will and desire be done in your life. Checking for a ring is a normal thing. That's the first thing that I would check when I was single.

Lord bless Jenny712, in this matter. In Jesus gracious name, Amen!

I don't know sis Jenny... I guess it is normal to readily get attracted to someone especially if you don't have someone special in your life...as long as you don't get to the extent like following this person or doing inappropriate things in your thoughts ..I would say it is normal...and that's how our human body and mind work...we have desires and wants. We just have to know how to tame it...yeah it is hard for some people I understand and I am one of those but I am at peace because I know HE will help me through it and everyday I lift it all to God. Yeah i understand when you said that you are afraid that you'll be in trouble...yep yep be aware because some guys will take it as an invitation when they feel that we are attracted to him...


I will pray that God will increase more your affection for HIM. I pray that HE will give you strength you need in your struggle everyday and that in everything you do in your body and spirit it will be to glorify God.

Just my thoughts I am also single and 10 years older than you I'll be 40 soon
I can't guarantee that we are all going to be married someday but I know God hears your prayers...though sometimes it takes time to arrive but be at peace HE is working on it...


God bless you sis ❤

Jenny - It helps to have something replace the feelings of constant attraction. Possibly you could silently pray for that person - that God would bless them in their work, their family, their spiritual growth. Pray that He reveal more of His love to them.

The more you get caught up with visions of what God will do for them, your own desires will take second place. UNTIL that special person is brought into your life.

Just an idea. But do always draw on the peace of Jesus that is inside of you. Tap into it when you need to. It is there.
