I have been single for two years. I know God wants us to please only Him, however the lonliness seems unbearable at times. How to fight temptation to sin out of lonliness?

The cheesy hokey christiany answer is prayer. The honest, up front, no holds answer is...prayer. When you're focused on God and concentrated on pleasing him everything falls into place. I will say that struggle with something not too far removed from this I was at work and just started kind of praying, or conversing with God in my thoughts as I worked, and I found that after a few minutes my thoughts had realigned and it had become the farthest thing from my mind. And just remember to be real with God.
 
this is a challenge for is all.. I'm in agreement with zoa.. tune in tv radio or people of like mindedness in christ it helps !!
Praying for you
 
I am sorry to hear that you feel lonely, but in addition to prayer, reading your Bible and going to church - you can also look at the opportunities that being single has...there are so many lonely people in this world and maybe you can give love and attention to someone who would be overlooked...community dinners often need servers to care for others, there are animal shelters and other opportunities to serve - this is really a great way to network with others and a way to show the love of Jesus, you may be able to share the gospel through new relationships.
 
I went a long time without dating or being in a relationship when I first started my Christian journey. I was waiting to meet the guy God wanted for me. I got lonely, unhappy, and tired of waiting. I started dating a little over a year ago and it has been very stressful and challenging. I have still not found the one so I can relate to being lonely and wanting to sin. I am at a place now where I am trying to not focus so much on trying to find the love of my life and letting God bring it along if it is his will. I still am discouraged because I will be thirty years old in a little over a week. I wanted to be happily married to prince charming before I hit the thirty mark. However, that is not going to happen. I am alright today being single though. I just pray every day for God's will and to help me out with being lonely and not struggle with lust.
