Prayer Topic: Singleness

People who are single and/or are choosing to be single, are in need of support. It is easy to wonder if there is anything wrong or ask a lot of questions about why. Remind them that God is the author of our stories and His will for us is to give us a hope, and a future. It is important to encourage single people to choose God and His will for them despite cultural rules or voices that say otherwise.

Possible Things to Pray for:

• Patience for God’s will to unfold in their lives
• Strength to stay pure and focused on Christ.
• Choosing to focus on God’s story instead of culture/society’s story
• Ask of joy and peace during this season/for this choice
• Trust in God’s leading within you.
