    Something so important to do is to be vulnerable and honest with God. He wants us to tell Him exactly how we feel. I have found so much peace by just telling God exactly how I am feeling in those moments where I feel alone or heartbroken. We don't have to be fake with Him or with anyone else. It's so important to just be vulnerable with people you trust about how you're feeling about things like this. I have also found that thinking of this time as a preparation period instead of a waiting period is also really crucial. We need to prepare ourselves for the person we are going to marry. That perspective change changes everything. xx

      running287 why would you do this? I mean why would you watch videos like this one on CZcams and keep posting such mean and personal comments to people you don't even know? It tells so much about you and your life. Feel sorry for you, really, honestly.

    Ladies, as a male, and a pastor, can I just say - wait on God.
    Don't throw yourself at guys who don't deserve you. You are far too valuable to just give yourself away to just any guy. Wait for the right one. A man who loves Jesus as much, or more than you do.
    The wait will be worth it.

    Why is it such a struggle to be single? Why is it that marriage is some sort of ultimate life goal for women? Shouldn't we be encouraging young girls to live happily on their own and not focus on being tied down with another man or woman? Life isn't empty if you're single, and it doesn't make you some kind of failure. I would hate if I was defined by my 'singleness' when there are so many more fulfilling things to focus on.

      They are not saying that marriage is a life goal. For most Christian women it is a desire for the future. If you watch some of their other videos, they talk about being content as a single woman.

    Thank you so much for these encouraging words! I'm 21 years old and have never been in a relationship. I sometimes feel similar to Bethany with singleness on my mind a lot. Seeing so many people around me in relationships, engaged, or already married sometimes brings me down. However, I am reminding myself to not be anxious about this. I'm going to keep these 4 truths in mind!! :)

    @tessalopez424 Před 7 lety

    Can't tell the truth enough! It really is so easy to fall into a negative mindset and attitude in being single- I have been for almost a year now, and I thank God for showing me the hurt and confusion that comes when I almost even brush Him off in pursuit of a relationship (among other things) that He has not prepared me nor intended me to be in yet. In that, I also pray against any bitterness that may arise, so that my heart is open to what He still has to show me and prepare me for. Blessed with awesome women leaders in my church and now this awesome ministry! God bless

    I know a lot of Christians marry young, but the statistics show that the best time to marry for low divorce rate is 28 to 32. This is just the average. I'm not saying those who marry early are doomed. Just saying that being 28 and single is fine.

They are clearly lacking in patience and I always tell them that everything will happen in Gods timing, but they are persistent. I just bring it all to Christ! 😍

      Ida Ploug Pahus I really like that statement too. For me it ties into the patience and perseverance. IF God doesn't want marriage for me it shouldn't make me bitter, I should continue to serve him. Our time is not the same as God's time. We should just rest in Him and trust in him. When I'm having trouble being patient I know I need to refocus on God's will for me and not let a man take the place of God for me. Psalms 100.
      I loved this video. And the two other P's. Preparation and Prayer.

    @karenpeters7010 Před 7 lety

    You said that it was God's plan for her to be married at 24 but I wonder if that's even true. I think we literally could wait forever for a husband and if we're not an active part in searching, it's never going to happen. So, I'm also wondering why we think that waiting on God is the answer since for centuries, people married others without hesitation and they honored monogamy. Is it just a new thought, emphasized in the 20th century, to wait on God to bring the right man/woman into our lives?

    • @ramonawhitaker4503
      @ramonawhitaker4503 Před 7 lety

      Karen Peters traditionally, marriages were arranged by parents, and the outcomes were very often happy. marrying for "love" is relatively recent, as you pointed out. since society does not work that way now, I guess we have to rely on God's wisdom and timing. most people don't do this. they just marry the wrong person because they did not have the wisdom of older people helping them make that choice.

    • @himitsu30007
      @himitsu30007 Před 7 lety
