I have been alone too long. Would you please pray
"Pray for the right man to come to me. I know he is out there."Bhante Wimala says:
"The woman described the type of man she was waiting for: a kind, caring person who would love her unconditionally and accept her for who she was. She said that he should be an unselfish, honest, and generous person. After listening to her for a while, I said to her that the best I could do was to pray, not for the appearance of that man, but for the discovery, and maybe cultivation, within herself of all those qualities she wanted in a man. I told her that once she experienced those qualities within herself, there would be plenty of good men who would be attracted to her.
I encouraged her to spend time looking within and working on herself, instead of waiting with anxiety and frustration for the ideal man. I said, 'Maybe the wonderful man you are looking for is waiting for a wonderful woman. Are you ready now to fit into that spot? If not, are you prepared to do what is necessary so that you become the one qualified to fill the spot?'
I often meet people who are selfish, uncaring, unhappy, and aggressive. I see men who have a very poor image of women and women who are angry with men. They are looking for a relationship with someone who is unselfish, caring, happy, and gentle. They go on blaming others for their not being loved. If you believe that men are terrible, how are you going to attract a good man? If you believe women are detestable, how are you going to attract the right woman?
We have a saying in Sri Lanka that a flower that is full of nectar does not have to beg the honeybees to pollinate it. The bees will know how to find the flower so long as it has nectar. Once they find the flower, they will also be very careful not to destroy it.
If you want to attract human 'honeybees,' you need to be a flower--not just a beautiful flower but one that also has nectar, a sweet essence. For the bees, the outside of a flower does not matter much, because they know the sweetness is in the essence. For human beings, spirituality and love constitute the nectar of life, the sweet essence within."

As a very religious Christian, I believe that as long as we obey God’s will for us, He will provide all that we ask of Him.
Asking others to pray for you can’t hurt the process, after all according to Matt 18:19-20 (KJV) 19 Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven. 20 For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.
This should work.
I have visited your profile a couple of times. It wouldn’t hurt if you could sort of fix the photo a little so that it showed off your natural beauty instead of being in the dark so to speak.
Anyway according to Matt 6:32-33 (KJV) 32 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. 33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
All you need to do is ask God, and believe that He will provide and it will be so.

I feel that the message your blog is portraying is more a reminder for us not to wallow in self pity ... not to become the 'poor little me' who mopes around wondering why the man of her dreams has not put in an appearance ...
If you are bright and cheerful and have a giving, kind nature, people are drawn to you.
Remember to keep a smile on your face ... you never know who might be falling in love with it ...
