Original Prayer

Don't believe that sex before marriage is right for me and came to that decision a long time ago with God's help. Am 45 and was in a relationship for 4 years which ended a year ago due to an possessive mother who told him to get rid of me. He said he was scared of commitment-we never lived together. All relationships in the past have ended because of the no sex before marriage thing. I think if I had slept with the man I still love he may have left his mother. Friends thought we'd be good together and I kept trying to meet him and eventually I said: God, if he's the one let me meet him tonight, if not please don't bother, I can't cope with this hoping any longer. We met, fell in love, he went through lots of operations and I was at his side. Since the split I've seen him, he's hugged, kissed, held my hand as my father died and not once did he tell me that he's been living with someone for months now. In Dec, a month since I'd last seen him, I prayed:if I'm supposed to keep hoping and waiting for more than friendship I need more than a smile or wave to go on-I need at least a hug and a kiss if you could manage it-I got both. Many more times I thought God had answered my prayers-am I wrong? Always wanted to be a wife and mother-time has almost run out and I just can't stop loving him. Feel let down-if I'd slept with any one of my boyfriends I may have had a family by now. Non-believer friends all seem to have happiness and after nursing my dad through a terrible illness last year and losing my love I now have no home of my own and only a part time job. Live with mum in rural area and am losing hope fast but trying to cling on to my faith. Please help me keep the faith.

Father God I pray for T that she will come to believe that a right relationship with you is the most important thing. Help her not to feel lonely and upset in not having a husband and children and to trust in you for her future happiness. Please increase her faith and surround her with your love. In Jesus name, Amen
