God already answered your prayer for her. And you're standing in the middle of the answer right now — you just don't recognize what it looks like. Because the answer didn't come as her. It came as this. The season you're in. The trials you're facing. The loneliness you keep asking God to take away. That IS the answer to your prayer — it just doesn't look the way you expected. God hears you. He knows exactly what you're asking for. But the reason He's letting you struggle, the reason He's letting you sit in this loneliness, is to build you. Because everything leading up to her is a fight. Everything before her is a trial. And that's not cruelty — it's construction. So embrace this. Embrace the life you have before her. Because these are the most important times of your entire life — they mean the most, because they're forming the exact man you need to become. And here's the part most people miss: if you take these trials for granted, if you don't give your best in them, you're not just wasting time. You're shorting the man you could've become for her. Everything before her is a fight — and this fight, right now, is building the man she needs. Every trial you give your best in is a piece of the man she gets. Waste it, and you short the both of you. If you want to learn how to become that man — follow.
