Single Girl, I Prayed For YOU

One Saturday morning, as I was preparing to run errands and fulfill the day's tasks I got on my knees and was instantly burdened with a prayer for a specific group of girls. 

Single Girl, I prayed for you. 
I prayed for us, because I am right there with you.

I am now in my late twenties, but I still remember the battle that raged in my heart when emotions of insecurity, loneliness, worthlessness, and fear would attempt to take over. Those feelings tried to suffocate me when friend after friend would either announce their new boyfriend or engagement.

I've been in that group of girls when the discussion would turn to subjects like boys and relationships. They would talk about which one was SO cute, the notes they had passed to a certain boy, the one they held hands with, and the list goes on and on. 

Those giggly girl talks, along with the princess movies, fiction novels, and the numerous inquiries of well-meaning adults leave us wondering...

Does Singleness = Worthlessness?

I'm here to tell you...

NO!

Having a guy by your side does not determine your worth!

This is such a hard lesson to grasp as a teen girl, I know, but that's why I was so burdened to pray... for you, for myself, for every single girl out there struggling to find her purpose in this world. 

Single Girl, I prayed that you, and I, would do the following in these precious years that our Father has given us:
  1. to serve with a heart of gratitude.
  2. to love without boundaries.
  3. to walk humbly.
  4. to commit every day to follow Him.  
  5. to surrender our desires. 
  6. to help us to be a blessing to those around us. 

Indeed, these years you are living as a single are precious. 10-15 years from now you will look back and reminisce about the wonderful things you were able to accomplish or regret about the time that was wasted away by wishing for your future to take shape. 
Casting all your care upon him;
​for he careth for you. 
1 PETER 5:7 
We serve a God that truly cares!

Feeling lonely, forgotten, worthless, fearful, incapable, or insecure? Take it to the One Who cares. Hand over the pen that is writing your story and allow Him to write not only your love story, but your life story. Trust me, it will be so much more satisfying!
Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all ye that hope in the LORD.

PSALMS 31:24

It is okay to be single, there is no harm in that. In my opinion, it is better to be single than to date the wrong person. If you do not plan on marrying your partner, then what is the point of dating? I want to meet the person that I want to love forever, and I do not want to let go of her. I wish that she arrives soon though. I do not think that I can last any longer.
