Loneliness

If you're like me, nighttime is when you feel the most lonely. I feel a restlessness and a longing to serve the Lord more than I am. A desire to please the Lord, but also a desire to be married.  Instead of doing everything I can to serve the Lord, I've been putting my life on hold--waiting for a man to sweep me off my feet. I don't want to continue to pine after the idea of marriage. I want to use this season to get to know Jesus better and to serve Him wholeheartedly. I don't know what all God has in store for my life, but I'm done complaining and feeling sad about not being married. Marriage is not going to be my life's goal anymore. Jesus Christ is. It's going to be a daily struggle to not pine after marriage, but with the Lord's help it's possible. I'd appreciate your prayers for more ministry opportunities to serve the Lord and to use my time for His glory.
