Beeb single for almost 6 years. What's ironic is that I was just talking to my best friend about my past relationships and how a few traumatized me BUT I am blessed because of the experiences. Upon feeling regret from those experiences, I prayed to GOD about how I am leaving it all in HIS hands, how grateful I am and how I'm just going to focus on HIM and this video comes up, reaffirming that the enemy wants to keep me scared and wounded from what happened but GOD is letting me know that I have nothing to be afraid of. The gift of singleness is not for me but I'm still getting ME together. Amen!

Thank you. This is so helpful. Having prayed years for a godly husband I recently started praying God would just take the desire for a godly marriage away. But to my surprise the desire to be married got stronger. The difference now is I am resting in God’s sovereignty and know it will happen when He has appointed it to happen. I will work on things I have control over, like being the best version of myself, understanding marriage and the role of husband and wife.

My former childhood friend from Church got pregnant out of wedlock 'accidentally' in her teens - her first girl is now 15 or so. She married the father of her children but I am not sure if their marriage is all that happy... When we talked last after we reconnected in our late 20s she asked me if I was married and I said 'No'. I guess, she felt awkward and didn't know what exactly to say so she said 'Well, our children all need their unmarried aunties who're all there for their nieces and nephews." - It hurt to be honest. Although, I rebuked that and healed, just a small reminder in this comment section: Don't say something like that to your unmarried friends. You don't know their hearts, their reasons, their stories and their longings all the time.

I’m in tears. Was starting to wonder if God just likes to endlessly test and torment me (which is unbiblical nonsense anyway.)

All 3 of these apply to me directly. Am in my early 30s and want to have kids, but as a woman I’m running out of time. I have 8-10 years left if I’m lucky. I’m a virgin who’s saved herself for marriage and sometimes feel like I wasted my best years. Had (and still have) many guys chase after me, but none who really KNEW Jesus so I didn’t date them. I’m starting to feel old, bitter and worthless as a woman. I just dream of being a wife and a mother— but it’s starting to feel like that’s too much to ask for for someone like me.

I don’t know what to believe anymore— I did everything “right, ” and yet here I am, jaded and lost. Pray for me to lean into Jesus y’all. I need Him more than ever.

Please pray for me (and others in a similar situation) my heart aches for a wife. Please pray He will not just bless me with one, but will prepare me for her and her for me ultimately for His name sake.

I have experienced Christians trying to meddle and twist words to insure that an individual stays single and calls any desire for marriage idolatry.

[anandanjohnsimon]

Being single is not a sin but being a slave to satan the devil is. I'm 46 still single and happy according to The Will GOD...Amen🙏🙏🙏.

“Rather than choosing God over marriage, God wants you to put Him first in your desire for marriage!” Mark, this has blessed me tremendously! The enemy surely has been messing with my head causing me to think so many negative ideas around singleness vs marriage. I don’t think it’s God’s will for me to be blessed with a lifetime of singleness or else the desire for marriage wouldn’t be here for me. (Another idea I learned from your channel 🙌🏽) I honestly had given up for a while and even stopped praying for God to send me a mate but the Bible says pray without ceasing! Thank you and God bless you!! 💜

I hope I have the gift of singleness 😁

Considering how most relationships end in divorce, we should just remain single.

[Moniquedivinelyguided]

True, so true been there and had to heal.
Going through the dark knight of the soul is very painful but with it in the end.
God has to make me single to humble someone in my life & also so I could see the negativity/ negative patterns that was forming / formed in my life that was hidden behind the scenes in my life. Love can be blind you have to be ready & still. And know he is God. Surrender to his will.

Me as a single guy I’m building myself up first before I ever say I do to a woman. I use too be afraid of rejection too the point I was scared too talk to a woman all she gonna say is? Yes or no. But rejection I fear is Gods rejection I make mistakes at times I’m thankful God hasn’t rejected me. I treat women the way I wanna be treated if it’s in Gods will for me too be married that’ll be great if not I’m still serving God no matter what cause God brought me threw 37 years and still by my side.

In the beginning of this year I said to God to give me the gift of singleness and that I would be satisfied in that, if that is His will for me. But actually my desire for marriage only grew stronger. It seems like I need to be fully content in God and reject my desire for a godly marriage and all that goes with it, but now I know that there is an empty place in my heart reserved for my partner. Thank you, Mark, for this timely video. 🙂

I as a single man would love to be married one day, but it hasn't happened and I'm middle aged so I do want to live for God and follow Jesus as a single man even though I would rather be married.

[debonaesimpson]

Thank you for this video Mark. I have no doubts I was called to a life of marriage, as young as I am at 19. And I recently have been thinking about and analyzing this topic of marriage and singleness, and even though I understand the very possible reasons that God may be withholding it, from a person needing to let go of someone, to them needing to grow out of a bad trait like selfishness. It still pains my heart when someone, even on a YouTube comment is really sad about really wanting it but haven't been blessed, or at least not yet. I pray they really seek God's face genuinely on the matter so He can lead and give clarity, but I love the comfort this video brings. Thank you. God bless you.

Hello everyone and Merry Christmas to you all. There have been several times I have ranted and expressed my disgust, frustration and resentment about being single in these videos. From the bottom of my heart, I truly and deeply apologize.

[shelbymichaels]

Amen🙌, I was really hurt in the last relationship I was in with a guy, what you said about hurting is so true, I'm still hurt and bursed, I had though so many times that maybe I'm not supposed to be in a relationship, but you made me think otherwise.
I remember threw a word from my bishop it was said that i was to be with a guy from my church, I really didn't know how that will be but threw all your teachings I've learnt alot about relationships, what to do and what not to do, I'm grateful for all the lessons and I'm waiting for the right time to put it to use.

[nedrar]

I needed this… thank you! I was once married and have been divorced 6 years now. Thoughts have come across my mind that I won’t remarry which I rebuke those thoughts. I pray to marry again to give God all the glory for thy union.

[themasterspiece]

Aww I really needed this I keep telling him to take the desire away because of the things that I have been through. But thank God for this video ❤
