25) For the thing which I greatly feared, is come upon me, and that which I was afraid of is come unto me.
26) I was not in safety, neither had I rest, neither was I quiet, yet trouble came.
Job 3:25-26

So anyone close to me knows I hate being SINgle, but my greatest fear is not being alone but probably the reason I have happen to be alone it is something I have happen to be so ashamed of myself that I greatly fear mentioning it. My poor family has heard me murmuring about the problem often. I happen to be so ashamed of it that I won’t mention it here but it really make me question Psalms 139:14. If i am fearfully and wonderfully made why do most others have no problem here, but God leaves me to learn to despise myself for being so pathetic with this issue.

Psalms 116 and Job. The Lord delivers me from my fears.

The lord doesn’t shame you. Put it into perspective and repent and go on. Maybe you’re making a wise decision- but shame you don’t need. If it’s sin then you should be able to overcome it with the Lord doing it. He promises a whole new life even if it takes your whole life to do it. This world is increasingly single. Look at it as a positive. But if you need a woman then you have to change (?). Even Paul said it’s less stressful to be single, he would spare you. If it’s your sex drive. Is that a good enough reason to get married. The Bible says it is. Then be a man and an over comer and get free. I didn’t get married until I was 53 for much the same reason. You’ve got time. Jesus is the answer for everything.

I guess I did not make my statement clear. Yes I hate being SINgle but it not that fact as much as the underlining reason that I happen to be alone, and yes it is a medical problem. Saw many doctors about this issue all said they did not notice anything but my primary Doctor said it was possibly my diabetes causing a problem, while my family thought I was crazy. Went to see him many years ago and my blood pressure was sky high, he stated he was sure it would go down, I told he no it wouldn’t because I was so angry with this problem. So he sent me to specialist, she finally stated she notice this problem but was of no other help, just started running test I could not afford, but my family no longer thought me crazy as she wrote a note for testing describing this PROBLEM! And yes I know we all suffer but Thank God few suffer with this problem. While suffering with a bad Sinus infection today at work got to hear the whisper about the problem today and while God is good, I really can’t fathom how He loves me and allows this continuing problem when i am doing everything in my power to control it.

Well I hope there was some encouragement in there for you too. God loves us irregardless of what’s going on. There is much more to be grateful for. He doesn’t take away my affliction either. Embrace the pain and learn from it and someday maybe He will grant you your request. Jesus Loves You.

David recognized God's creation of man was both marvelous and distinct from the creation of everything else. No two persons are completely identical, and human beings are distinct from animals. David was fully convinced that God had fearfully and wonderfully made him. He wrote: "My soul knows it very well."

Each of us are unique ... nobody is exactly the same ... fearfully and wonderfully made ... Amen!

When we recognize our severe depravity ... it can be hard for us to believe that God could still love us .... but He does ... rest in the Love of God and continue on your path with Him ... He is faithful. Amen! Don't dwell on the negative ... it is self-defeating. Change the focus of your mind ... focus on Gods love.

If my faith is not shipwreck it is on it last thread! It seems every dream I have ever had is gone, while all my nightmares have come true, so why should I believe Jesus died for my sins? To my complete shamed and total horror this fearfully and wonderfully made man suffers from B.O. even in this woke world this sin is unforgivable I bathe daily have tried so many different things just to hear those whisper behind my back even a few said it to my face. The specialist I saw those many years ago notice an odor but could not even describe it to me. Many methods I have try work for a short period even try tomato juice but broke out in hives. Now I shower daily just to feel clean but within hours quit often hear those whispers. So ya I definitely am not fearfully and wonderfully made.

Praying you will be freed from your problem and find peace.

P.S. I have noticed that when I am concerned about something, I will readily interpret the actions of others to be related e.g. that comment was about X. I am NOT saying this is the case for you, I just know that it happens to me.
