Lonesome

Today is a hard day. I went to a great bridal shower for a dear friend but was filled with such sweet sorrow. I long for the days of living with all those girls and always having somebody to love on and go to dinner with and run off in the middle of the night to go camping with. It makes me realize my personal loneliness. Sometimes I feel like I am doing so much of my life on my own. I miss having a cohort and partner in crime.

I deeply desire an accountability partner. I don't feel like I truly have anyone to share my spiritual life with. I know there are people that would listen, but I want somebody that wants to tell me what they are going through and equally wants to dive into my life.

Lord, please send me something more than a friend. Please send me someone who needs my spiritual strengths in their areas of weakness. Please send me someone who has strength in my areas of weakness. Make me soft and pliable. Teach me how to love and truly be loved. I want to grow. But not alone.

I know this is a season, and that the stress of finals will be gone very soon. I just need strength, and I can't do it on my own.

Lord, show me the truth about my situation and the great things you have in store for me. Help me to see through your eyes and walk the steps you have for me in grace and humility.
