I have been feeling an extreme weight of loneliness. I ask for prayer for peace in being a single woman. That I can be more comfortable with myself in the midst of building a relationship with the Lord. I sometimes get down and think about how others have what I feel I deserve as well. Like being a wife and a mother. I feel so disconnected sometimes. I will be 31 years old this year and although that is young, I am at that time in my life where most others I know are married with children - building a loving home. I am not. I don't believe I have the gift of singleness and I long to date for marriage. I have made mistakes in the past, but I am earnestly seeking to please the Lord in every area of my life. I ask for patience that I can rest in Him while He works out my need for companionship.

Thank you.
