I find myself getting more and more depressed lately. Ive been single all my life, and now my friends are moving on with their lives. Ive always had my best friend to hang out with, but now he's always busy. I find myself terribly lonely and depressed. Im always alone on friday/saturday nights, and its hard. I keep praying that God will introduce me to the one he has for me, but nothing. I just need prayer that God will take away this depression. My 24th birthday is coming up, Im already dreading the fact that I will have been single for 24 years.
 
Well cheer up! :) There's always video games! :-P Have you ever heard of Minecraft? If so, I can introduce ya to a server where a bunch of us build things and just enjoy life... not as fun as maybe a girlfriend... but I guarantee that it's less expensive ;-) Let me know if you are interested. private message me. (Or check out the forum post called 'MINECRAFT'.

Otherwise, the only advice I have left is:
TRUST IN GOD
 
Shawny, Jesus is bringing a closer relationship with Him for you. Id say, this is a good birthday gift. :)
Jesus often does this just before He brings someone into ones life. :)
I know that it is not easy though.
Praise Jesus when ever you feel low, this is a tried and true help in Jesus.
Ill be praying in Jesus for you.

Happy birthday and God bless!

Hey, don't stress man. I know how terrible it is to be lonely, but trust me, you don't need a gf to fix that.
You are only 24.... yes: ONLY... there are people out there who are twice as old as you who don't have a gf/bf. There are also people a lot younger than you who get a new one every two weeks because they don't have the time to get to know the person they are with...

Seek fellowship with people your age, first to make FRIENDS. Then , if you are supposed to get a gf, that will come more or less by itself.
Just treat the girls nicely, don't overdo things, and don't rush it. If they sense you are a good guy you are more likely to get a good one than if they sense you are "hunting" for something :)

Oh: and keep in mind: The places where you go "looking for" girls will probably reflect what kind of relationship that girl you meet is looking for...
(so: do not go to bars to meet girls, cafe's would be a safer bet)
 
Dear Lord please send Shawny comfort and friendship and give to him a sense of purpose to ease his loneliness. Remind him when we cry out "where are you Lord?." You tell us "I am here" Break the bonds of darkness that try and drag him into depression and lift him up so that he might live a life according to Your will. Place in him a heart that sees the suffering of others and the means to ease it. In Jesus name we pray, Amen.
 
You won't get a girlfriend with staying home on fridays and saturdays. Just get out, do things with other people, meet new people.
 
You are still young and have plenty of time . Be patient and God will send the right person for you. don't jump at the first young lady that smiles at you or the first one you are attracted to. Let God lead you, so cheer up. Try searching for Christian places to go on those days. stay far away from bars and clubs.
Good Luck
 
Do not get depressed God has you here for a reason. I will pray for you and that God helps you with your depression.
 
Actually they have been some good advice, many churches have great single gatherings, but look to find friends first. Look for active singles groups to have fun, you may be surprise how many girls are looking for a good guy to get to know first. Just do not give up.
 
You know that saying, "It is better to have loved and lost than to never have loved at all?" Well, it's not true. Loving the wrong person can destroy you. Surrender to God that you'll find the person. Pray about maybe going to a dating site or a dating group..but pray about first. I'm twice divorced so take it from me, loving the wrong person SUCKS!
 
Praying for you!! I think all of us singles struggle with that from time to time...praying for all of the rest of us posting on this thread as well...that God will comfort us and touch our hearts in the painful places, giving us Joy were there was sorrow! In Christ!! :)
