Love & Relationships

You were made for love, and love is never wasted.

Whether you are waiting for someone, fighting for a marriage, missing a child who stopped calling, or simply lonely, your heart matters to God. He sets the lonely in families, and He is still in the business of mending what feels broken.

Encouragement

Loneliness is not a verdict.

Feeling alone today does not mean you will be alone forever. God sees the empty chair at your table and cares about it.

Broken is not the end of the story.

Many marriages and families that looked finished were restored. Keep praying, keep softening, and leave room for God to work in both hearts.

Love starts with being loved.

Before anyone else loves you well, God already does. Let that settle in, and it gets easier to love others well too.

Promises to hold on to

What God says about love

Love is patient and is kind; love doesn’t envy. Love doesn’t brag, is not proud, doesn’t behave itself inappropriately, doesn’t seek its own way, is not provoked, takes no account of evil; doesn’t rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

1 Corinthians 13:4-7

God sets the lonely in families. He brings out the prisoners with singing, but the rebellious dwell in a sun-scorched land.

Psalm 68:6

Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their labor. For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow; but woe to him who is alone when he falls, and doesn’t have another to lift him up.

Ecclesiastes 4:9-10

The Lord, your God, is among you, a mighty one who will save. He will rejoice over you with joy. He will calm you in his love. He will rejoice over you with singing.

Zephaniah 3:17

Please pray for my teenage daughter. She is pulling away and I don't know how to reach her. I want her to know how deeply she is loved by me and by God.

I'm 42 and have never been married. Sometimes the loneliness is really heavy. Please pray God brings a godly man into my life, and that I can be content and joyful while I wait.

Our marriage made it

We were sleeping in separate rooms and had talked to a lawyer. We each posted a prayer without telling the other. We found out later and that broke something open. With a lot of counseling and a lot of grace, we just celebrated twelve years.

My son called on my birthday

My son and I hadn't spoken in almost two years after a terrible argument. I posted a prayer and checked every morning to see how many people had prayed. On my birthday my phone rang and it was him. We talked for an hour. We are rebuilding slowly and I thank God every day.

I prayed for a husband. I met Andre.

I was 38 and had mostly given up. A friend encouraged me to post a prayer here instead of just being sad about it. Four months later I met Andre at a volunteer day at our church food bank. We were married last spring, and we pray together every night.
