I am a virgin and 45 years old, but I am persecuting like Baruch was in the OT to the point that I cannot have even a relationship. So don't give in to the pressure of the world to fit in.
2 Timothy 3:11Persecutions, afflictions, which came unto me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured: but out of them all the Lord delivered me. 12Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. 13But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.
John 7:The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, because I testify of it, that the works thereof are evil.
John 15: 18If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you. 19If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you. 20Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also.
John 17:13And now come I to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves. 14I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. 15I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil.
1 Corinthians 5: 9I wrote unto you in an epistle not to company with fornicators: 10Yet not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or with idolaters; for then must ye needs go out of the world. 11But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolator, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat. 12For what have I to do to judge them also that are without? do not ye judge them that are within? 13But them that are without God judgeth. Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person.
1 Corinthians 6:18Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body. 19What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? 20For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.
Trust the Lord to help you. He may provide a mate or He may provide an escape to keep your mind off of it till otherwise. Trust Him to direct your footsteps. Seek ye first the Kingdom of God....
2 Peter 2:8(For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds
9The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished: 10But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise government. Presumptuous are they, selfwilled, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities.
Jude 1: 24Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy, 25To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.

No cate we Christian men have the same problem. For that matter I know many who aren't Christian who have the same problem.
But God is faithful:
I Corinthians 10:13
"There is no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted abouve that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it."

Yes cate I'm definitely with you on that one, I know God is faithful, but boy it sure hurts. We have a gal who started working were I work about 6 months ago she is very attractive physically, don't know her well enough and wouldn't have given her a second thought but two or three different times I have dreams about her like I'm in a relationship with her it is kind making me wonder I know God can speak thru dreams but maybe without knowing it I"m just that needy.

Romans 15:4-6 (NIV): "For everything that was written in the past was written to teach us, so that through endurance and the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope. May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you a spirit of unity among yourselves as you follow Christ Jesus, so that with one heart and mouth you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ."
Every word of this passage rings true to me. On the one hand, being single is not easy, at whatever age. And, I have never been married, but I can well imagine that being married is not easy, either. I appreciate and am glad that there is a Christian singles forum here and I know that it is difficult for many to even come into contact with believers.
Loneliness and frustration are feelings which we all have time and again felt, and this goes for married people too (so I have heard On the other hand, our God is a God who, through Christ and our belief, loves us, longs to show us compassion, provides for us, guides us. We are the sheep, he is our Shepherd. We may want and pray for lots of things, some of which or much of which we do not receive as the months and years go whizzing by at a seemingly ever faster pace. Do we, throughout this time, keep our eyes fixed on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith? do we stumble and fall and by God's grace and mercy get restored to fellowship and back to running the race and fighting the good fight? or do we cease to trust God altogether?
Here is another good passage (I recommend reading the verses before this to get the context):
2nd Cor 4:16-18: "Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal."
God bless!
