Dearest Father,

Tonight, I feel frustrated, sad and perhaps lonely once again. Lord, I'm at the age where my friends are either married or in a serious relationship. There is really no pressure, but somehow I still find myself feeling like I'm missing something in my life. It's at the point where I cannot find people who are even single anymore. Making new friends isn't easy when they are married or taken. :( Year after year, I always secretly wish and ask you to let my partner come, but it never seems to work out- person or the situation. I do want to get marry and establish a family of my own someday, but I don't know where to find the person. You know I've tried to seek holy opportunities, I've tried to be single and be fully happy in your grace.. and although your ways and thoughts are better than mine, it's still really difficult for me to fully surrender to your will- to be in the state as I am for nearly 10 years already. :(

Sincerely,

Your child
