Navigating Singleness with Joy
Does singleness ever feel like a waiting game? Like you’re in between where you are and where you should be? Let’s flip the narrative.
Maybe you’ve heard all the clichés—“Just focus on God, and the right person will come along,” or “Singleness is a gift!”—but deep down, you struggle with wondering when your story will change. Friend, I see you and I have been there.
But here’s the truth: Your life isn’t on hold even though it feels like your season is.
This season isn’t a detour or a waiting room—it’s your life, happening right now. And while it may not look the way you expected, there is still purpose in this space. Let’s shift the narrative. Instead of feeling like you’re just waiting, here are three ways to start fully living in this season of singleness.
Shift from "waiting" to "living"—embrace God’s plan in the now.
It is so easy to believe that real life starts when you meet the right person, get married, or step into the next big thing. But the danger is that it keeps you from embracing the life God has for you right now.
Ask yourself: if I knew I’d be single for the next five years, how would l live differently?
Would you:
✅ Travel more?
✅ Pursue new passions?
✅ Invest deeply in friendships?
Here’s your permission to stop waiting and start living—pursue the things that brings you joy now. Take the trip. Try the new hobby. Set goals and chase them. Singleness isn’t a pause button; it’s a chapter worth living.
Find purpose outside of relationships
Your identity and purpose were never meant to revolve around a relationship status. You have gifts to offer the world that aren’t dependent on whether or not you’re in a relationship.
This is the perfect time to:
✨ Serve in your community or church
✨ Develop new skills
✨ Pour into friendships and mentorships
✨ Deepen your relationship with yourself and with God
God’s calling on your life doesn’t begin when you walk down the aisle—it’s already in motion. The more you step into your purpose now, the less singleness will feel like something to “end” and more like a season to embrace.
Strengthen your faith
Singleness offers a unique opportunity for spiritual growth. You have the ability to set the foundation for the kind of person you want to become—someone who is rooted in faith, secure in identity, and deeply connected to God.
Ways to cultivate your faith in this season:
Establish a daily time with God that works for you
Practice gratitude and prayer as a habit
Journal your spiritual growth and reflect on where God is leading you.
Don’t wait for the next season to draw close to God—He’s already moving in this one. Joy in singleness doesn’t come from pretending or faking. It come from choosing to live fully, stepping into your purpose and deepening your faith.
So let me ask you—which of these three habits do you want to cultivate in your season of singleness?
