3 Ways to Cope as a Single Christian – wikiHow

Being in one state is also great. Actually, it has many benefits; you have that freedom to do what you want without anyone watching you (our parents are exceptional here, of course), and you’re not like a chicken tied to a high post. Being single does not mean that you are alone and that nobody loves you. Hey! You have your parents and circle of friends.

Many Christian singles right now are being peer pressured because they don’t have partners in life who can add some spice and make their lives colorful. Single Christians should say goodbye to that peer pressure. As? Well, let me share some secrets for coping with being a single Christian:

1. Get busy! Being a happy bachelor.

Enjoy life. You are free! Get involved in a ministry in your church or community. Matthew 6:33 says that we must seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will also be given to you (NIV Bible 2011). If you serve the Lord faithfully, many blessings will be showered on you, including blessings on your love life, of course. Sometimes it will surprise you that the person whose God’s plan for you to marry is one of your church friends or someone you met at one of the Christian meetings you attended. Who knows? Only God knows.

2. Be patient. Wait.

The Bible says in 1 Corinthians 13:4 it says that love is patient; love is kind; love is not envious or boastful or arrogant or rude. The verse says it all. True love can wait. Don’t rush. It is a step by step process. Each and every one of us has our own love story, written by a great author. We are commanded to trust his grand plan for our life without reservation, to stand by and believe that there is a dear person who is meant to be your life partner. An individual like you who is also searching and asking God for the right person to come.

3. Ask, seek and knock (Matthew 7:7-8).

Most Christians want to have a life partner. To have that person in your hands, you must ask God. In Genesis 2:18, God said, “It is not good for man to be alone; I will make him a help meet for him.” Take it from God. Even before the time of creation, he gave Eve to Adam. Some Christian singles become cautious when they reach marriageable age and the wedding bells have not yet rung, remember that God knows what you think and the desire of your heart even before it was conceived in your mind. If you put your trust in Him, nothing is impossible.

It is not a curse to be a single Christian. Use that freedom to touch lives and inspire others. There are many things you can do for the Lord while you are waiting for that special someone.
