In your church, you may be walking alongside singles navigating waiting and longing, and a maze of mixed messages about dating and relationships. You may have heard the same things I have when talking to single women about the toughest parts of having faith as they wait for a God-led marriage:
- “Waiting in my thirties, trying not to lose hope of having a family one day.”
- “I find myself doubting if God will actually bring my husband.”
- “Trying to not be angry at God for what feels like a delay.”
- “Waiting without something concrete or confirmed.”
- “Feeling like you’re one of the only ones still waiting while others didn’t have to wait hardly at all.”
I’ve spent years talking with women, both in community and through my ministry, and I’ve seen a common thread of frustration and discouragement. It’s easy for singles—and those guiding them—to feel overwhelmed.
As ministry leaders, you have the opportunity to help singles move from confusion to confidence, equipping them to pursue relationships with purpose, prayer, and biblical insight. Encouraging singles to pray for their future spouse isn’t a maneuver to hurry the process; rather, it is a way to cover their partner in prayer and heighten their vision for what is to come.
To support your ministry efforts, we’ve created a free set of Scripture prayer cards designed for leaders to share with singles in your church. These cards offer practical, biblically grounded prayers that can help guide singles through this season of preparation and prayer.
Download your free Scripture prayer cards today and share them with your groups.
