Seasons of singleness are so peaceful, and are the perfect time to build your relationship with Christ. Singleness is the best time to grow in confidence and self love, but I’d be lying if I said that singleness is a constantly joyous season. When you least expect it, loneliness can start creeping in, and if we don’t know how to combat it, it can start taking over. I have so many friends who are in loving relationships, getting engaged, and making pregnancy announcements left and right. While I am so ecstatic for all of my friends who our in happy and healthy romantic relationships, it can sometimes be difficult to not feel a little jealous at times. I start to think to myself “What is wrong with me?, Why can’t I be in one of those #goals relationships?” But before I let those thoughts take over and form into self-loathing, I remind myself that every season of life is forming me into the wife God has destined me to be. When I start to feel lonely, and like there’s no hope for me romantically, I pray for my husband. I pray for anything he may be struggling with, and I pray that he is becoming the man God has destined Him to become. I pray for his faith life, whether he’s struggling with it, or is thriving in it. I pray for his happiness and his health. Some people find this weird, praying for someone who I’ve never even met before, but this is the man God has chosen for me. This is the person who, when God was creating him, thought of me in the process, and vice versa. Praying for your future spouse is never a silly thing to do, and I promise it will give you so much hope for the future that Our Father has intricately planned for you.
XOXO, MC
