I set aside an entire year to be intentionally single! It was a huge blessing! Singleness is a gift from God! I hope this video encourages you to seek the Lord in your season of waiting (whether it's singleness or anything else). Christ is enough!

I've been in a 5 year relationship since I was 17. Got engaged July 2019, and we broke up last March. I was devasted and it still stings, but God is healing me. For the first couple weeks i was hopeless. It's SO hard when your plans don't go on how you wanted it to be but in this journey i realized so much more. I don't wanna be lost anymore, I don't want my plans anymore. I WANT GOD. I WANT TO BE IN HIS PRESENCE. I NEED HIM. And that's when it hits me, I need this season. I'm starting this journey where I let God take over and its the best decision in my life. To all singles out there, let's be intentional. Let's grow, let's get to know ourselves and God. No need to rush. He got you. 💗 This song helped me: You are by life church

I was married for 10 years. Divorced. And in six months met another man. We had a great connection. I declared I was not looking to marry and content that way. We dated for 10 years. It was a great time. But, I knew I was not living a life pleasing to God. We broke up in 2008. I dated a long time friend for about 1 year after that break up. I quickly sensed that relationship was going to be fruitless. We ended it. But stayed friends to this very day. I was left to myself. Not long after, I was led to a Bible teacher on television. Through the Bible with Les Feldick. I spent my days in Bible study everyday. Early morning to midnight. Survived on water and nuts. I fell in love with Yeshua Messiah in 2014 and I have been single ever since. I love being in love with Christ and knowing God through Him. My friend is now my Bible study friend. We do a phone Bible study M-F 8a-10a. I love coffee and bible time. I wish I had your knowledge at that age. But it is all in God's timing. Ashley, you are an inspiration.

I’m 37 and single, it’s been a long wait already, and seeing a niece of mine get married last year was tough! Especially as I’ve experienced a broken engagement. Sometimes life seems unfair, when we have our priorities out of place and our focus is on other things. I’ve learned that God always knows what’s best for us, even when we don’t see it, when it hurts. And what you’ve said is so true. Jesus is enough!!!! ❤️❤️❤️

I can relate to this. 2 years ago I totally surrendered my search to Christ. I was totally fine being single if that's His will for me. I asked Him that, if He has a love story for me, I will let Him write it. Fast forward today, I am engaged, to a wonderful Christ-follower man. We pray for each other everyday and learning and growing with Jesus. Psalms 37:4 is a reminder that God knows our heart's desire. Delight in Him, pray and obey. God bless you all.

I was in a relationship for almost 3 years. We were about to get married and 2 months before the wedding day I felt that we were going in the wrong way (this feeling wasn't new I could never be in peace with the idea of getting married to him, it was too early or too complicated. I was always finding excuses and reasons for my feeling) at first I was talking about reporting the wedding to have more time to work on the relationship... But then I realized that God wasn't the center of our life or couple. And we broke up and I told him that I still love him but I'm not ready now because I need to have a deeper and stronger relationship with God and I know that God was waiting for me and that it was what I needed. It's new for me ( only few weeks in being single ) , I want to get married ( I'm 25) but I trust God because he called me with purpose and I'm looking forward to see what he wants to teach me. ( I'm a french speaker, sorry for the mistakes) This kind of video are really helping me to stay strong, single, faithful and to listen to what God wants for me. Thank you. 🙏

oh my word! I just realised that the reason I struggle to build friendships with boys/guys is because I keep looking at them as my potential life partner (you know, because I am single and I'd really like to not be single). I need to start looking at them as children of God worthy of being known as friends and worthy of being my friends. Such a liberating perpective. Thank you.

God has been putting videos like this in my life at the right moments lately. I have been in and out of relationships for a while and I finally found the person that I truly wanted to be with and he was perfect and husband material. But he didn’t help me get closer to God because he doesn’t love the Lord like I do. God put it in my heart that I have to let him go and just focus on God because he has greater plans for me. I want to be able to worship around the world like Tasha Cobb’s, Koryn Hawthorne, Kim Walker. I need time with the Lord alone and it was hard to let go of someone that I loved but I need to enter this season of singleness because God is preparing me for something far greater than I can imagine. When I told my dad that I ended that relationship to be able to focus on God, He showed me 1 Corinthians 7: 32-35 so when you read that at this moment of my life it was a confirmation. Thank you for sharing all of this!❤️

I’ve been single probably all my life and it’s been tough especially not having friends at all. Plus I have a chronic illness that keeps me at home. But Jesus is my strength and he’s getting me by everyday! I enjoy the peace and time I have just speaking to him alone. So this season is so worth it
