Patience is a virtue
Ecclesiastes 3:1, For everything there is a season, and a time for every purpose under heaven.
It can be easy to become impatient during your season of singleness. If you are single you may be thinking but ‘It’s not easy’. You may feel like everyone around you is in a relationship or is getting married and you may ask yourself, when is it going to be me? God has made everything beautiful in its time and believe that God’s timing is the best timing. Being impatient will not speed up the process, but is likely to lead to unnecessary stress. Be patient and enjoy your season of singleness.
There are so many different seasons in our lives. Whichever season you may be in enjoy it, be content and be happy for those around you. The worst thing is for you to envy others just because they are where you desire to be e.g. married. Do not compare your journey to others but focus on your own journey. Be patient and enjoy the blessings within your season of singleness.
Do not allow anyone to put any pressure on you, or make you feel inadequate because you are single. You may be getting pressurized by family members to get married quickly, maybe because you are of a certain age. Do not allow others to make you feel like there is something wrong with you because you are not yet married. God may be preparing you for that special someone. Trust in God and work towards being content during your season of singleness and beyond.
Staying Pure
Ephesians 5:3, But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you.
Single people, just like others, are likely to struggle with sexual temptations. Having someone close to you who you can be accountable to in this area , alongside prayer, can help to overcome the temptations. In this world we live in, almost everything around us encourages sexual immorality. From the movies shown on tv, the songs played in your local supermarket and the billboard posters you walk past on your way to work. But just because the world encourages it does not mean you should follow the crowd. As a single person in this generation, choose to be set apart and flee from sexual immorality.
Pray for your future spouse
Philippians 4:6, Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God.
It is never too early for you to start praying for your future spouse. Although you may not know who your future husband or wife is yet, we are told in scripture to make our requests known to God.
Let God mould you into the woman or man that He wants you to be and pray that He will mould your future spouse into who He has called them to be.
If you so happen to be in this Season, remember it is just a season and will not last forever. Seasons change… just like Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter. Do not waste this season! You are in this season for a reason. Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart.
God bless you.
