I suppose I am somewhat selfish, but I wish Jesus wopuld sound the Last Trump (see 1st Thessalonians 4:15--17) and take us home NOW.
I am the last of my immediate family, and it gets REAL lonely; the church is structured for marrieds (preferably with children) and when you're a single guy at my age you get Those Looks ('What's wrong with him? Is he some kind of pervert? Why hasn't he gotten married already?") I can't help it that A: Nobody I ever wanted wanted me back, or that B: I never got well-enough off financially to attract a nice woman.
(It's a fact of life folks; people judge you at least in part by how much money you make/have/have accumulated and I just haven't accumulated a lot.)
By now I'm just too old, too ugly, and too broke to think of finding some nice lady and getting married. It gets REAL lonely, especially when holidays are coming up. So, I keep hoping that today will be that day. How I hope Jesus comes REAL soon.
Prayer would help you in this situation. Have you ever heard that Bible verse; "With God ALL things are possible?" He can take your situation and turn it right around and bless you with a wife, a job, and more joy. Maybe you could consider finding another Church that shows and practices true Biblical Christian Love. I once was in your place, now I'm married with two kids. The Lord has blessed us with a good paying job. So don't give up hope, and don't give up on God! Remember, seek and you shall find, knock and the door will be opened.
