Singleness can feel like a waiting season, but what if it’s actually a season of preparation? Many girls grow up dreaming of love, marriage, and family, but God often calls us to embrace a period of singleness before stepping into that next chapter. Instead of seeing it as a time of loneliness, we can see it as a time of growth, purpose, and deepening our relationship with Christ.
Singleness is Not a Punishment
It’s easy to feel like you’re being left behind when friends are getting into relationships, engaged, or married. But singleness is not a punishment it’s a gift. The Bible reminds us in 1 Corinthians 7:34 that an unmarried woman can be focused on growing spiritually without distractions.
Instead of wondering why you’re still single,
use the time to grow in Christ .
Strengthening Your Relationship with God
Singleness is the perfect time to build an unshakable foundation in Christ. Without the responsibilities of a relationship, you have more time to pray, read scripture, and serve.
Ways to grow spiritually during this season:
✅ Start a Bible study or devotional.
✅ Develop a strong prayer life.
✅ Serve in your church or community.
✅ Fast from distractions and focus on God’s voice.
The closer you get to God now, the stronger your faith will be when you do enter a relationship.
Discovering Your Purpose
Many women wait for marriage before stepping into their calling, but God has a purpose for you right now. Use this season to explore your gifts, passions, and purpose.
Ask yourself:
• What talents has God given me?
• How can I use them for His glory?
• What dreams has He placed on my heart?
Whether it’s starting a business, traveling, writing, or serving in ministry, don’t wait for marriage to live out your purpose. This is your time to shine!
Setting Standards & Preparing for a Godly Relationship
Waiting on God doesn’t mean just sitting around. It means actively preparing.
Things to do while waiting:
• Write a list of qualities you desire in a future husband.
• Set personal standards based on biblical values.
• Work on personal growth—emotionally, spiritually, and mentally.
• Pray for your future husband, even if you don’t know who he is yet.
Waiting with purpose means becoming the woman God has called you to be before you marry the man He has for you.
Trusting God’s Timing
God’s timing is always perfect, even when it doesn’t match our plans. Isaiah 60:22 says, “When the time is right, I, the Lord, will make it happen.”
Instead of worrying about when or if marriage will happen, trust that God knows what’s best for you. In the meantime, live fully, love deeply, and walk confidently in the purpose He has for you.
Final Thoughts
Singleness is not a season to endure—it’s a season to embrace. It’s a time to grow closer to God, develop your purpose, and become the best version of yourself. When you wait on God with faith and patience, you’ll find that His plans are always greater than your own.
