If You're Single, God Has Not Forgotten You - Tim Conway

Do you say to yourself, "I'm single and God has forgotten me, He has not given me a spouse yet!" If that is you, may it not be so, for God numbers the very hairs on your head, He has not forgotten you.

It's so hard. I became a Christian when I was 23, and I am 37 now, 14 years of waiting and hoping, still single. Sometimes I have little faith and believe God had prepared one for me, I need to wait a little more time. sometimes I am so sad and cry a lot, thinking that God maybe don't really care about my marriage, or he doesn't really love me as he loves others. All of my unbeliever friends who are around my age, have got married, many of them have a loving relationship. It looks like they live in heaven and I am in some kind of hell.

It hurts but I choose joy. It might not make sense to me but I trust the LORD. God is always good. He is not out to get us or mock us. God loves his children.

[James]

I am almost 44 and still single, but God in His wisdom knows what is best for me. Maybe He has someone for me in my future, maybe not. But this life is short, and when I get to Heaven the only thing that will matter is if I loved and obeyed God.

This sermon teaches and waters the seed in the heart that desires to love God as a single person. It's been on my heart for a long time to be married and to date and I got impatient.. I was upset with myself and thought I must be a blight. And when others would tell me Ill meet somebody some day I found it hard just to believe them. But Christ and Paul were single. Tim is right that it DOES give us far more time to spend serving the Lord and getting to know Him more than if I were married years ago.
God allows us to be single for His purposes and I can trust HIS PURPOSES are ALWAYS good and for my good.
I so often forget this or didn't want to believe this but for some reason- today is the day.
It dosnt harden the heart to be aware and accepting of these good truths about God and singleness.
May God help us desire Him more and be more on fire for Christ. If the Father is preparing us to be a boon to the helper He has for us- that's much well and good- if He reveals to us how we can be more devoted to Him and perfectly content- all the better!
I pray that sincerity stays and remains for as long as God wills the moment for us to find our helper.
I need to pray in faith and remain content in the waiting. Whatever the outcome- God is faithful and just. Amen.

I am 51 and still single. I dont loose hope. I believe God has a great plan for my life, the best for me in my singleness or my future marriage for His glory 😊

My advice to any Christians who are struggling with this: be careful about the kind of advice you may receive from your pastor and other Christians. "Just seek God first!", "Pray harder!", "Is your heart in the right place?" etc only goes so far. Some of these platitudes are so shallow and devoid of meaning, you wouldn't even tell it to young person, let alone a grown adult.

My advice is, you gotta put yourself out there and be willing to take a risk. Of course, you have to find a healthy balance as well. Try to be friendly - or, make it easy for the other person, but you don't want to overwhelm them either. Is it not always easy. But it doesn't happen by staying home and praying all day. Maybe for some it does, but it did not work that way for me.

I will never understand the casual attitude the church has toward remaining single. It’s almost as if some people think there will be no pain hurt or negative consequences if you never fulfill this God given desire. I think that this issue pushes more people away from the church than many care to realize. I want to know what this church and all churches do to help singles? The answer is probably nothing but it has to be asked over and over again!

We all need to love God, serve him, and proclaim the gospel message whether we are single or married!

The devil is a busy matchmaker. He provides an endless supply of counterfeits and heartbreakers.

It's so funny I just found this video now without looking for it. I have been searching Christian singleness videos for over a month now and never once saw this one. This is one of the best videos I have seen and it really helped. Just before the new year I was going through a huge pity party and depression because of my desire for a wife. I succumbed to sexual sin with myself and although I felt better for a moment, I felt bad afterward.

I pray to God for all those who struggle with singleness and the desire for a mate. May the God of all things bring us to our mated in this new year! In Jesus's name. Amen!

Forgotten is too strong a word, more like abandoned and ignored.

3 years single? Try being single your entire life

[bella]

3 Years??? Dude. These people have endured decades.

[marshachesbro]

Sick of being alone my whole life. Three years is not 37 year. Try that and you will not like it. Punishment.

[beccabean]

That was very helpful to hear those lies out loud- and replaced by the truth. Thank you.

I’m single with a high sex drive yet I don’t wanna sin. It’s such a hard place to be I feel like breaking down & crying & I DO from time to time

[DrewMIATL]

Still nothing. I’ve prayed over and over and begged him. I will not eat ANYTHING until I find someone. I’m over it. I’m over the lonlieness. I’m completely done.

13 yrs ago, I heard this mssg , I was full of hope that God never abandoned me .. I would have my spouse. Juz a matter of time, I told myself be patience. God saved the best for last

13 yrs later, all hope is gone.
N I realise no such person in the world …

😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
I did put all my trust in HIM, turning out like this —- it’s real hurt

Then I gave up this hope n Juz hopping God to give me provisions I need in life… got redundancy- being unemployed for almost 2 yrs - i kept telling myself to put my hope in HIM instead of my circumstances

Enough is enough
I lost my joy, my faith n everything

My only hope now is to end this life

Life is such a torture

[marijaalilovic]

I have been single since 2016, and I have been praying ever since, maybe god just wants me to be all alone eventhough I would't want that.
