Trust.
I was blog suffering shortly before doing my devotions. On one blog, I found the verse Psalm 56:3. This verse can be applied to many parts of life but one area in particular, seems to be on the minds of my friends. Essentially the need to be in a relationship, the fear of being alone. I recently realized after much waffling that I don't have to fear this or that I don't have to be in a relationship. Its a nice thought but hearing people yammering on about "Why don't I have a boyfriend, its been a year? I just want to be loved..." ect. Gets old real fast. Truth be told, love surrounds us but we are just to busy looking for it in one person. Seeking the one person who can make us the happiest we've ever been and who will be Mr./Ms. Perfect. I look at this and it just seems like a huge --- HUGE--- ideal to live up to. A whole lot of pressure. I don't want it nor need it.
Realizing this, was a huge load off my shoulders. I seek to find contentment is being single, and I can do this by putting my trust in God.
Lord, help me to realize that love surrounds me and that my future is bigger than just being in a relationship. I trust you to lead me to the person I'm going to spend a good chunk of my life with but until then, I am satisfied to be cultivating a relationship with you. Help me to stick to this, please.
