Gratefully Single

Lord, help me not begrudge my singleness. Sometimes I get so lonely and desire someone special in my life to love. I have tried so many times to fit a square peg into a round hole, chipping away at someone elses personality to fit my needs, and to justify our relationship (mostly to myself).

When the relationship does not work out I am often hurt and wondering if something is wrong with me.

Help me see that NO is also an answer, and the best answer for me at the time; You know what is best. Help me accept your answer as a blessing, and help me realize just how much grief You are sparing me when You say, NO.

I give You thanks for not letting me persuade You to answer any other way but what is in Your will for me.
