I was crying. Sobbing. My shoulders shook and tears stained my face. My heart ached. Why did I feel so lonely? Why did I feel so alone?

I had so many things that people wish for – a sweet husband, a loving family, a home…but why didn’t I have at least ONE close girl friend? I just wanted a girl friend who I could talk to when I felt sad, who would pray over me, who would cheer me on instead of being jealous of me and who would believe in me. I was tired of other girls being mean and unkind. I was tired of always being there for others and having no girl friend there for ME. And I felt so alone.

I told my husband (who really is my closest and sweetest friend) and he told me that I needed to pray about it. I had once or twice but I hadn’t consistently prayer over it. So, because I didn’t know what else to do, I started praying every day. I prayed that God would bring women into my life who loved Him and who would encourage me in my daily life. I prayed that I would be a good friend to those around me and that I would have wisdom with who to trust.

That was at the beginning of this year.

And, guess what?

God answered my prayers. He answered them in the SWEETEST way. He brought so many incredibly kind and loving women into my life who adored Him and who cared about me. He blessed me with such sweet souls who I longed to be with. It has been such a refreshing experience.

God MADE US for community. He DESIGNED US to love each other and to be loved. We weren’t meant to live in the midst of broken relationships. We were meant to live in forgiveness, unity and love. We were meant to encourage each other and spur each other on and NOT tear each other down. We were meant to pray over each other and NOT gossip. We were meant to laugh over silly things and live in HIS JOY that He SO freely gives.

I am so blessed to have such sweet women in my life. This post is a sign to YOU that if you have been longing for something, start CONSISTENTLY praying about it and pursuing it. Stop complaining that you don’t have it and start DOING. You’ll be amazed by the results.
