Loneliness

God is really taking off in my life. He is with me professionally and through the ministry. He has blessed me with two manuscripts and has given me the creativity to begin working on a third one. He has also opened up an opportunity to lead a ministry at my church. I don't mean to seem ungrateful. I have been hit with a strong feeling of loneliness and depression. I looked up and I have no one to share these blessings with. I have given my life over to Christ and I put Him first in all things. Being used to save souls is most important to me. I can feed you all of the scriptures and I can minister to others but what happens when you run dry? What happens when you need someone to minister to you? It seems like the more I desire to do good the more evil is lurking. I know that this is the way that it is supposed to be. I know that the enemy is not just going to bow down and allow me to walk into my destiny without a fight. I am just tired. I am believing God for a mate and the reality that that prayer request is still unanswered hit me when I wanted to share all that God is doing in my life with someone and no one was there. I am not complaining. I have put God first in my life. I do have a relationship with Him. He is my bestfriend, He is my everything. Without Him I am nothing, I can do nothing. But I still struggle to understand why I am fighting loneliness. Please pray for me. I am just ready to move past this.

Move speedily Father to ensure that Your servant keeps house before the end of this year.

Lord, give your daughter such a dose of Your love that this lonliness passes from her. I pray she feels bouyed up in Your Spirit. Help her through this difficult time with an extra special sense of Your Presence. Refuel her, as the writing project more than likely drained her. Help her to find rest and peace in You in the next while. I pray for her to be still and know You are God. Put Your arms around her, and wash over her with Your love. I pray she will trust steadfastly in You in this area regarding a mate (it CAN seem long, as it does to me as well), in believing that You will bring the perfect man for her into her life. I pray for her to be renewed and refreshed in her relationship with You. In Jesus Name, amen.

Thank you Jeri,

I was lying here on my coach thinking about starting to work on my next writing project and I was listening to some music. I am usually pretty careful not to aggravate the fact that I am single. I switched on "Give You More" by J Moss and I started to think about how much I miss the feeling of being in love. It was like at that moment God just took His arms and wrapped them around me. All I could do was weep. I was IMing an old friend of mine from college and I began to confess to him that I was in love. That I wasn't just a Christian, that my love for God is so deep. My sister has been telling me that God wants to fill that empty space that I am holding on to. It wouldn't be until then that God blessed me with my husband. I have to admit that I didn't get it. Honestly I was a little offended because I thought I have changed my life for Him... I don't do those things that I do anymore.. I endure so much for His glory.. Yes some vanity came out... But tonight I GOT IT!!! I called my sister and announced to her that I AM LOVE!! I am intimate with HIM. I look forward to making love with HIM! I can't describe what I feel. You know that moment when you realize that you can't live without HIM.. When you realize that you will do anything just see HIM, smell HIM.. I finally got it. What is interesting is that I thought that I already had it.. So I am announcing to you, I AM LOVE... That sweet intimate love... The kind that will endure for a lifetime.

I read your prayer Jeri and I thought wow!! He heard you sis! He heard you.. Thank you

I was just thinking today about people who don't have God....even if they have a great relationship with another human, they have NOTHING, if they don't have God. No matter how much that earthly love might seem to fill and satisfy, without God, it is worth nothing. Only God gives a life meaning. I watch Hallmark movies for instance, and the couples love each other and get married....but they don't have God, so that earthly relationship is empty and worthless. It just struck me how meaningless it all is without God.

I do want the human relationship, too, and was even wishing for it today. Yet, I keep reaching to love God more than I will ever love a man. I don't say that I do well all the time. That real sense of intimacy with Jesus comes too rarely, and, once it does, it is hard to hold onto. But, just knowing that He is there ALL THE TIME, no matter WHAT I feel makes Him far superior to ANY man. A man can and will let a woman down at some point....but God NEVER will! I am so, so glad I have Him, have a connection to Him 24/7. I pray that I will reach that place you described and He will truly and really be the top, #1 love of my life, ALWAYS. So many times, I tell him I want my Jesus with skin on, as if He just isn't enough. But getting to where He IS enough ALL THE TIME is my never ending goal.

Dear Lord, thank You for sending Toni this blessing of Your Presence. May she always love You first, above all. Help her draw nearer and nearer to You. May she experience Your Presence again and again in this fashion. I pray she knows You intimately over and over. Let her feel and experince Your love daily in overwhelming and beautiful ways. I know how easy it is to dream of that one man who treats us so special....Yet, YOU must be that Man! I pray that we can both see You and love You that way. Father, pour out tender, loving care upon us continually, and let us always love You as the Greatest Thing That Ever Happened To Us, not keep expecting that man to come along who will be the greatest thing.... Lord, I pray that we are totally delivered from that syndrome. I pray that Toni will continue to have such glorious experiences and will continue to give such awesome testimonies. This -- experiencing Your Presence -- is what it's all about! Help us to know that and long for that and live for that.... We give You all the praise and glory! Amen!
