How can I trust God with my love life? I see a lot of fear with most Christian singles today. It’s the fear of being alone, not being chosen, and their prayers not being answered when it comes to marriage. So some take matters into their own hands to ‘make things happen’ in their dating life.
I felt this way too prior to meeting my husband. There was a lot of fear of what if it’s too late. Or what if the last guy I talked to was my last chance. I encourage you to fully surrender your dating life to God, trusting Him with the outcome.
When I realized God truly cared about my heart, it took the pressure off of me to ‘make it happen.’ Was it easy? No. Did I meet my husband right away after praying and surrendering? No, but when I made the conscious decision, sometimes several times a day, to trust God, the fear of being alone lost its grip on me.
I realized God wanted me to have His best and that’s why past relationships didn’t work. Were they bad guys in the past? No, but they weren’t fit for where God was calling me to. You see, who you do life with matters. Before marriage, we have a calling on our lives as believers to bring glory to Jesus. You can’t do that with just anyone, and God knows that. So He’s not going to bring someone into your life who will snuff out your gift.
Our God is good. His plans are to give us hope and a future. He’s not out to harm us, but even in heartbreak, He can take those wounds and make us stronger. Don’t feel like you have to take matters into your own hands. Trust God with your heart and your future. Do we know the timing of when blessings will arrive? No, but our faith is in God and not the results.
