Lord, I pray that you will deliver me from this depression. The reason I am depressed is because I have been waiting on you for many years to let my future husband find me. Because I don’t want to spend my life alone. All of my relatives and friends are getting married and having children, but it seems like you have forgotten about me Lord, and I don’t understand why. I am growing weary in doing everything myself. I work hard as a nurse caring for sick people, and yet when I come home to an empty house, there is no one to care about me.
I’m getting up there in the years, I am now 56, and even though people tell me that I look very young for my age, I know that I am getting tired of waiting. I know that I am too old to have a child, but am I also too old to even expect for God to bless me with a husband. Lord, I pray for understanding, and I pray for strength to endure, and I pray that God will bless me.
