This is a really beautiful message which reassures women who have been hoping and praying that God makes all things beautiful in his own time if you believe.
@@funkechristian203 Hi..Sister, iam 31 still waiting for the right time.. Please remember me in your prayers too.. I'm waiting for God's fulfill ment for my life partner..🙏
@@berrydoos i will tell you this, i was in a church that was fixing people up and i saw everybody getting married and i was asking God what about me. I didn't have family around me so i felt alone and like no one cared if i was married. I had seen a guy at the church that i thought was single and i asked my friend if he was with someone, which i found out he was so i felt like there was no one left for me. I live in a small town and am east African and i wanted to marry someone one from my country so the chances of me getting married i thought were slim to none. One day when i was driving home from church i asked God in my heart this question " how does a i meet a man without looking like am desperate or do i just wait?" I heard the holy spirit tell me about a passage in the bible how Isaac went to find his wife not the other way around. At this time God also told me to fast and pray and close all connections from other men meaning like old male friends that would call to say hello. I did that and two weeks or so later i met my husband and the first time i saw him i knew he would be my husband. I even told my very close friend that he would be my husband.
Hi Mahlet, how are u. I got inspired knowing u had ur baby at 38yrs old.I am 35yrs still single never been married, never had a child. But I am scared getting married late and having a child late. Pls how was the experience having a baby at 38yrs .I wuld love to hear from u mam.
I’m 35, never dated in my life, became a Christian during Covid. Now I’m a month away from getting married to a Christian man, the first man I ever dated. It’s amazing to know God does miracles like this.
I had been single all my life until 31, and am now proposing to my first and only girlfriend on Valentine’s Day. The wait was excruciating at times, but God surprised me the utmost with a gorgeous black Christian girl. I never expected a black wife as a white guy, but I am so happy with God’s provision. Once I go black, I won’t go back.
The enemy is going to attack your blessing. He comes only to steal, kill and destroy your marriage no matter how wonderful it is. So when your world turns upside down, you might think YHWH God made a mistake and that maybe you made the wrong choice and didn't know this person well enough. But Father YHWH knows him and He knows you, and that no one is already perfect, and in order for you both to grow spiritually, you're both going to be chiseled by each other throughout your marriage. Marriage is not happily ever after, ever. It's an institution where you can grow and help your husband to grow and allow him and ultimately YHWH to grow you both up in His righteousness and Holiness. If Satan isn't trying to kill it, then it's not valuable. Expect turbulent times that challenge the both of you. And get into the eye of the storm where it is peaceful by trusting in YAHUAH YHWH our Elohim, who is our Salvation (Yahusha) Messiah. He is mighty to save and to battle for you. We do not fight against flesh and blood, but the powers of darkness in lofty (pride) places. Learn to forgive others, yourself, and allow Creator to forgive you so you can forgive that man you once saw as wonderful, now frustrating and whatever else. Show mercy and it will be shown by your heavenly Father. Sorry to get peachy here, but don't think you're not going to be challenged and refined like gold, because that is what marriage does and it's good. HalleluYah! (Always, always praise) Blessings to you all! 💖🕊️🙏 📖
I am 43 single and God is NOT able. If he gets credit for doing he also needs to take credit for not doing. It is not always the will of God to do for others what he does for some. Every life is different.
Hi Miss S, thanks for your honest comment. I know it can be very frustarating and painful when we feel we have put our trust in God and he has done nothing. It isn't easy but we need to trust God when he says that he loves us and that he cares about every detail of our lives, even when things going on in our lives don't seem to line up with tha. The truth is God is still very much with us and he is still in control. Don't give up. Tell God how you feel . God bless & take care
@@misss7758 I have recently discovered one thing in life, i got born again to go to heaven not to get married, marriage is just a gift that God will give me at His will, much as i would wish to get a man after Gods own heart. if He doesn't still i call Him an able God.
Omg! Congrats 🎉 Did you stay in prayer? My girlfriends have told me to leave the place I live in right now and go to a place where there are more guys. I’m confused. I sometimes think you can meet your husband anywhere in the world
I turn 36 in less than 2 weeks. God brought me an amazing man at 35(Jan) and we got married a month before I turn 36 (Dec) and all this happened across continents in the middle of this Covid pandemic in under one year. I was concerned as well but things turned around for me when I focused on God and put my trust in him. This is to encourage ladies in their 30’s and above that God can and will settle you with your own husband.
I am 34 and turning 35 this September. I'm trusting God to bring a godly man in my life this year. Thanks for your testimony as it makes me realize it can happen to me.
I got married at 34. I would have made a miserable marital mistake if I had not waited patiently on the Lord for His DIVINELY PREPARED, HEAVEN STANDARD HUSBAND for me. I Married my own husband.
I think as women, we have to know our purpose before trying to become wives. I got married at 30 and it was to the wrong man, because I rushed into it and felt desperate to be married at 30. The first priority for women should not be marriage, it should be seeking God and working on your weaknesses, which is much easier when you're single. Boaz cannot show up, while you're a mess . Seek the most high!
I think everyone should seek to understand their purpose first then marriage should be a part of destiny fulfillment, that way we will live a fulfilled life
Many women get married at 20, 21, 22 without knowing their purpose in the sense you mean. Our purpose according to the Bible is to grow in righteousness and knowledge of God and to bear fruit. The modern idea of purpose isn't emphasized in the bible, it's a well meaning trend.
Ladies I have to be honest, I’m 42 not married nor do I have children. I want them both, been praying on it for over 15 yrs. My faith in in this area is up and down (just being honest). Even reading these amazing stories (I know God can) but I’m bother by this (which I get down mentally when I think about it🤷🏾♀️. Please add me to your prayer list for strength in this area. Thank you and God Bless to you all.
@@MsThankuverymuch seminaries, conferences, forums, networking events, even on topics that are different of your field. Also go on solo dates at high end places,
Seriously... reading the comments I noticed many Ladies are trusting God for a Godly husband. I pray you get your expectations met dear ladies. I'm a 33years old single man and I can assure you dear ladies that serious men are looking for a Wife, a Mother and a PrayingWoman in any lady. Focus on developing those 3areas in you and you won't need to wait too long ... The right man will be automatically attracted to you. Much love for you. God bless you.
@@dav8749 God is drawing me closer to Him and even though I do not like this singleness, I accept it as a gift from One who knows how best I’ll reach the purpose for my calling. Def learning things I would never have learned. I just say, “ I accept it Lord, be it unto me as You will.” His faithfulness remains.
I’m 36 and still in my season of singleness. I have recommitted to a relationship with God and having faith and trust in God. Open to receiving. In Jesus name. Amen!
I was married at 25 , but my husband passed away due to kidney failure after 7yrs of our marriage.we didn't have a baby either.its been 15 yrs now.still single.God took care of me.thank you Jesus.love from India.❤️🙏
Hi Uma, thank you for your comment. I'm sorry to hear about your husband. I'm so glad to hear that God has been taking care of you. He is faithful. God bless & take care
Where there is a will there is a way.i am 34 , single man living in kullu manaali , Himachal Pradesh India.i think the life is beautiful when you surrender it to god .stay blessed
Hi Christina, thanks for your comment. I experienced some of this when i was single as well. The important thing to remember is that people's opinions of you don't affect God's blessing for you. Keep your focus on God and his promises. It is well. God bless & take care
I never understood why getting married is settling down until I got married at 36. Then I finally understood. My heart is now at peace and I'm content. When I was single, I would date the wrong people trying to look for my match then ended up in long term relationships that never got to the point of marriage then again single for a long time. It was exhausting and confidence shattering. It will really make anyone doubt and worry if it will ever happen thinking that my biological clock is ticking. But based on my experience, you just got to have faith. After years and years of being broken hearted, i just surrendered it to God then changed my belief that I'd rather wait than be in a wrong one. Then after a few years, I was blessed with my loving husband and son. It was worth the wait.
I can understand why single middle aged women would be worried if they’re still not married.. but TRUST ME you don’t want to be married just for the sake of being married. It’s so much better to be alone and happy rather than married (or in a relationship) and be unhappy. So many people are in unhappy or toxic relationships because they’re afraid to be alone. Don’t be with someone unless they are WORTHY of putting a ring on your finger 🙏🏼❤️
@little boots Oh I’m sorry 🥺 I hope that experience helped you learn your worth and gave you the ability to see things from a different perspective 🙏🏼 if he’s not making you and your life BETTER than it was before, he ain’t worth hanging around!!!
I turned 32 last week & I’m single. Honestly wasn’t expecting to still be single now. But trusting God has someone better for me than I could have imagined 🙏🏾
I FEEL THE SAME WAY BUT I DONT KNOW WHERE CHRISTIAN GIRLS HIDE LEAVING US TO MAKE DO WITH OUR BELOVED WORLDLY SISTERS. TBH YOU ARE TOO GORGEOUS TO BE SINGLE AT 32 AND IT WILL BE BLESSED GUY WHO GETS YOUR HEART. PRECIOUS.
@@spencergeorge4779 Thank you! ☺️ us Christian girls are here. I often think the same about where all the Christian guys are hiding 😄 And unfortunately beauty & looks has nothing to do with it, not every guy can see our value/worth & not every guy is right either 🤷🏾♀️
@@PreciousLarapeters I see what you’re saying. I believe we should let go and trust the lord still. I mean he never leaves us right? So maybe when we get to over thinking things we leave him in that sense. I would love to talk to you some more if that’s cool with you.
Am 40 not married and not in a relationship, when I turned my thoughts into building my relationship with God and believing his word, the fulfilment I have received in Him amazes me.
Hi Leya, thank you for watching and for your comment. Don't be discouraged. I know that it must be hard waiting on God for marriage especially when the wait has been long, God can be trusted, sometimes it may not make sense but as the bible tells us in all things he (God) works for our good. He is well able to bless you with a good husband and children. continue to have faith in him and strengthen your relatioship with him. God bless & take care
Hi Kanysh. Thank you for watching and for your comment. Do not be dicouragraged or loose hope. It is never too late with God. God knows your desire for marriage and you can trust him to do all that needs to be done for you. The season of singleness is important. Use this time to strengthen your relationship with God, build your faith for marriage and prepare for marriage. If you haven't already watched my videos on building intimacy with God, preparing for Godly marriage as well as my video for discouraged singles then please watch them you may find them helpful. take care & God bless
Girl you’re not alone, I’m 30, never held a guys hands, gone on a date, been kissed. Talked to a lot of guys but they’re not the one. I don’t even know anything about love. I’ve tried online dating, inner healing etc Let’s see God, drop him on me
Your definitely not alone so don't lose hope. I'm 34 and single, never had a boyfriend and still abstaining from sex til marriage. I know God placed the desire for marriage and family in me and he will make a way.
Hi Anh Mai, thank you for watching and for your comment. You are right, marriage can't fufill us only God can. There is nothing wrong with greatly desiring marriage (it is God's will for those who desire it) but it is God and not marriage that helps us live an abindant life. . God bless & take care
Marriage is a tool of God to fulfill his will in the earth and our joyful experience of it is a byproduct of our cooperation with God to fulfill his own will first. Oftentimes people go into marriage for their own enjoyment and the purposes of God is never touched upon so eventually satan will overcome them. Kingdom marriage is coming together with the desire to fulfill God's purpose first. I guess your view is yet to align with this. Marriage without God is like the devil's playing ground
I needed to hear this, i will be 33 in a month and yes im asking myself all sorts of questions if i will ever marry, have kids and be a happy wife, society is also making it difficult because at my age everyone asks when are you getting married and it frustrates me

I’m turning 33 tomorrow and I was chased by a guy the entire last year. He is nearly 20 years older than me, was already married and has 3 kids. I nearly felt for him because of the pressure that comes with being single. Instead I pressed more into God. I am praying to Him on a daily basis especially right now where things seem so difficult because we are so isolated. God bless you beautiful ladies out there. I’m rooting for you!
I am so glad you withstand your ground. He needs someone who was married and divorced like him with 5 children. But as for you, your man will come without baggage. Amen !
I'm turning 36yrs old and i told God to give me peace about being single, it used to worry me alot but I prayed to God and i received peace... What I can say no one can complete you but God, ladies we should not hurry to get married to feel complete but allow God to complete you... Pray that you will not get bitter and make wrong choices,ask God to show you your purposes and fulfil them as you wait for the one in store for you...I'm peaceful and happy as i wait#no one can complete you, only God 🙏🙏
I have been worried about getting married since my early twenties, and I'm in my mid-30s now, and I still find myself worried about getting married but thank you for the encouraging message.
I am over 50. I got it wrong for years and I am intimate with God more. I still desire to get married; the desire has never left my heart ❤️🙏🏾🙌🏾. Fasting and praying is part of my life. Thank You again. God bless you woman of God.
Hi Adriene, thank you for your lovely comment. i'm so glad that you found the video helpful and that you have a close relationship with God. Nothing is too hard for God and he is faithful. God bless & take care
Agree with me in prayers also God will send my Boaz I'm 65+ never married..I think I got life wrong somewhere, learned crucial lessons of "being" late in life🤔🙏
*_I am doing fasting prayer since the 2 weeks and I am not social media any site but I am praying continue growing with the Lord and I am 35 year old and still praying and I NEVER MARRIED IN MY LIFE EVER and that's my prayer for all God doesn't give us our feelings; but we are wise to give our feelings to God. We see the psalmist doing this over and over in the book of Psalms. He pours out his feelings to God, and then he holds his feelings up to the truth of who God is and compares the two._*
I am here after getting engaged to my beloved future husband. I am 29. I had 2 relationships before this and I went through 2 years of doubt and worries. I got closer to God and my love-heart appeared. God is with us ladies. He knows what he is doing. He is preparing us for marriage.
Watching this coz am 30 disabled never dated and am super scared it will stay this way for life, but watching this and reading comments is giving me hope
Who else isn't married and not worried about anything. The way am happy because am single and alone just moving about pursuing my dreams and building my career only God knows. Ladies stop being worried because I want to tell you God doesn't look at you and says am surprised she is unmarried at that age. Only that gives me joy and earns me baby Faith whuuu my God loves me .
If you desire marriage, that desire is from God. I love this line 😍❤️ .God bless you sister for sharing message of hope for Single ladies❤️😍🙏 I am 38 now and very much desiring to be marriage . Oh Lord I am your child please help me
Thank you. I’ve felt like I’ve missed the marriage deadline for a while now. All my peers (including a ‘significant’ ex) are married with children. I have a plant.
31 and still single. Most of my friends are married including my ex. I am own a home, that is all I am proud of for now. I am waiting on the Lord perfect timing. I have been in many relationships where I was unequally yoked. Now my prayer is for the Lord to hide me from all men's gazes, I only want "the one" to see me and for me to recognize him instantly.
Hi Mmalesiba, thanks for watching and for your lovely comment. I'm glad you found the video helpful. There were times when i felt like i had missed the 'deadline' as a that single. But i am so thankful that i got married according to God's plan and not mine. God sees our lives he knows who we will marry and the things he has called us to do...so he knows how to prepare us. Everyone's preparation will be diffirent. But we can rest assured that if we trust him we will be well prepared for the spouse and the life he has for us. It won't be you and your plant forever! God bless & take care
My worry is children, I want children before 40, the society has done this to us but this testimonies gave me so much hope n uplifted me, Its not in me to settle for less, , I met wrong people who wanted to marry me but I knew, I'd be doing it for wrong reasons, So am waiting on God.God bless you ladies.
I’m so encouraged! I’m 33 now and when I was about 28 or so, I heard that voice say I would not be married until 35. I have been praying against it because the voice has been shifting the goal post. Sometime last year, I felt led to sow a seed in church and after that, God, in an unusual way, sent different people to assure me that my time of rejoicing has come. I believe that if God said it, He will do it! 🥳
I just turned 34, single and not looking for anyone. I am happy with mysef it’s just the society’s pressure for single people that upsets me sometimes. But there’s no way I will settle for less
Im in my 30s and not yet married.I am still studying and this training is taking me ages due to financial constraints.But God is good and he is still seeing me through.Those girls after me are settling down while me still struggling perusing my pilot training.It hasn’t been easy for me.9 years gone and still pursuing.Mom died this August in my country and I couldn’t be there with her due to lockdown in Philippines.By the grace of God ill be done by Jan or Feb,2021.Im afraid I might not have any children and wont get married.The thought of everything is killing me with everything going on in my life.Through it all I still trust my God that everything happen in my life for a reason.I know he will provide the best for me.
God is faithful and I believe that He will see you through. May He be your strength. Keep your faith in God intact no matter what. I'm there too and i know that God does everything with a good reason so I still hold on. Sometimes isn't easy but His mercy is new every morning..........💞
Hi Hustle fanatic, thank you for watching and for your heartfelt comment. I'm sorry to hear about what you've been going through and that your mother passed away so recently. That must have been difficult. I know you must be feeling discouraged, BUT don't give up. God sees you, he sees your efforts with pilot training, he sees your desire for marriage and he sees your pain. Continue to lean on God, he will not fail you or forsake you. He is there to help you and comfort you. God desires marriage for us, so continue to trust him. I pray that: (1) God will strengthen and comfort you through this period. (2) God will bless all your efforts. Your pilot training will be successful, it will not be in vain. You will be thankful that you stuck at it. I know that it can be hard to read the bible when you are going through tough times but try to read through 1 or 2 scriptures that have encouraged you in the past and think about them when you become discouraged. I have a video called read DEALING WITH FEAR & ANXIETY IN DIFFICULT TIMES here is the link: ua-cam.com/video/fiDfJ6hlVXg/v-deo.html. It will be helpful to you. God bless & take care
I'm 58 and I was married before but my ex husband divorced me. That was 10 years ago and it was a life saver. I would love to get married again if it's God's Will for me.
46 and single. Never married, no children. Sounds like I'm introducing myself in a singles anonymous meeting. I have prayed and have decided to actively engage. Joined eharmony which is like pulling teeth. Sigh I am an introvert so loneliness is not the issue. I am independent financially and content on my own however I believe marriage will add a different dimension and depth and refine my character. I have watched married women and sometimes think I dodged a bullet there because heyyyy the suffering and heartache I see is beyond me as to why we still want this. But like childbirth, the pain is easily forgotten when things are good.
Volunteer at a men's fellowship and if you can't find one you start a faith & barbeque meeting for men in your city and get one or two senior male pastors to officiate the meeting... pray for spirit led topics...
Hi F W, thanks for watching and for your great comment. It's great that you see marriage as a gift/blessing not a solution. . I hope you are not put off marriage from some of your observations - the truth is we can't do marriage wthout God's grace & help. Thanks again. God bless & take care
Thank you so much. I've been discouraged especially because I'm turning 30 in November and still single. I pray that I'll find complete contentment in God so that He is truly first in my life, whether I get married or not.
Hi Morathi, thanks for watching and for the comment. I know its not easy waiting on God for marriage. It is well. Don't allow the discouragement to get you down. This season of singleness is such an important time in our lives because there are certain things that we can do while we are single that will make such a big diffirence to our lives, our marriages and our parenting. Use this time to prepare for marriage, to build your faith for marriage and to get to know who you are in Christ. I have a video for discouraged singles, Here is the link ua-cam.com/video/pkDZXyOxcdc/v-deo.html. Take care & God bless
I am a 31 year old young man and I was worrying alot saying nobody doh want me but after watching this video and seeing all this comment I starting to pick up my faith again in Jesus name
Thank you thank you! I’ll be 42 this year and need this encouragement. Everybody’s journey is different. I’ll just continue living out my God given purpose and and assignment and God will take care of the rest. #trustandrestinGod ❤️🙏🏾
Hi Naturally Candace Marie, Thank you for your comment. I'm so happy you found it encouraging. God is deffinitley in control. Alot of the things that have helped me in my marriage are things i learnt when i was single during the tests and trials of being single and building a close relationship with God. So your trust in God will not be wasted it will benefit you now and when you are married. If you are interested i have a christian singles playlist on my channel. Thanks for watching! Take care & God bless
Wow! Just bumped into this video and am glad I did. 32 here and still single. Not easy, why lie but the grace is sufficient, huh? Yes He is. It has actually pushed me to start a channel where I share my experiences and my thoughts in this journey. Lord bless you abundantly.
Hi Karen, thanks for watching and for your comment! Its great that you started a channel talking about your experiences, i'm sure it will be a blessing to others. I will check it out! Take care & God bless.
Same here, 32 too, no kids either. Born again since age 11. And my parents have ridiculed me. It's sad but am trusting GOD too.. I decided not to put marriege first but GOD & let everything else fall Into place
@@rebirthed1274 why would your parents ridicule you can over something that you have no control over, marriage is a blessing from God, you can't force it, & l wouldn't want to have kids out of wedlock
Good Word my sister .... I am a man of GOD and you encouraged me . Have faith all my sisters , Delight yourself in the LORD and..... you know the rest!
Am 45 and single and still beliving God for marriage though often times, I have dought that it shall happen. But after listening to your word about faith and fear, I have to start working on that. N. B Problem is i have always attracted the wrong partner please pray for me so this spirit can be broken. I do pray and fast and hoping for a Break through if it's God's will.
Hi Alice, thank you for your comment. I'm glad you found the video helpful. God will give you the discernment to see who is suitable for you and who is not. It is also helpful to study the bible to get a good understanding of what you are looking for in a godly spouse, this will also make it easier to see who is suitable for you.

I turned 35 last month and I admit I sometimes feel really sad about not being married but I refuse to allow myself to get into idolatry. Even if it never happens, the Lord is enough.
@@penlavits3305 I respect your opinion but I disagree with you. One of my closet Christian girlfriends is engaged at 49 never married before and no kids...she will be 50 wheb she gets married..yes 50!....Yet God sent her husband when she least expected it. Another Christian woman that I worked with in ministry who attends the same church as me has been married for about 3-4 years. She's in her 40's as well, never married before and no kids. God is faithful. Like I said before, I have the desire to be married but it's not an idol in my life so I'm ok without it too.
@@penlavits3305 Right...my friend met her husband to be through one of our co workers...literally at work and the other person met her husband at church lol...not much going out there lol...also the 3 to 1 arguement doesn"t prevent God from working things out in our favor if He deems it that we should be married because not all women want to be married
I jus stumbled on this video right after watching one saying everything that happens to a woman after 35 is pretty much awful and doomed. The devil is a lie! Thank you Jesus for guidance and protection! ..... still single in mid 30s n will continue to grow my faith. Thank you fir this video!
I’m turning 33 this coming September and still single, yes a bit worried but my faith is more stronger than that I know oneday by the grace of God I’m gonna meet my other half and become 1🙏🙏please pray for me too🥰🥰
So blessed . every sister here trusting God for a marriage partner n for a blessing of womb, God will make a way for his glory. All the attacks are defeated in Jesus mighty name. I thank God i am here. i have been through alot but my faith is not swayed for i know the price he paid for me. I am encouraged i will give a testimony of God's doing
I'm turning 30 this year and single since birth. I was worried before and always claimed that there might something wrong with me. I always look for the missing piece in my heart and I thought the missing piece is the love of my life but I'm wrong until last year of April when God touch my heart and reveal himself to me and I have that fire in my heart to know him more and I realized that He is the missing piece. I am blessed that after all the dilemma and doubts He still love me unconditionally. Today, my heart is at peace with Him and wait for his perfect time. I believe that every good Christian women deserves a good man who will love her the way he loves God.
Hi Jhonna, thank you for your wonderful comment! it is a blessing that you know how much God loves you and that you are trusting in him for marriage. He is faithful. God bless & take care
So I was fasting today, didn't go to church as an Adventist. I have had God reassure me many times I would get married when I was in my 30s. I'm in my 40s but not married yet. So,I was feeling discouraged one day wondering if I would get married and have a child at my age when the Holy Spirit asked me to read ROM 4. I was wowed when I read of Abraham and Sarah having a child even though they were biologically dead to have a child because they had faith in God. I am fasting today, been fasting so many times but got so discouraged. I started searching UA-cam for messages of encouragement and boom! I am here. Sister Funke ,your message is a message of hope, courage and yes,your video is so useful. Dear Singles, nothing is wrong with you. Even if you feel you gave been bewitched as in my own case, read Micah 5:12, Lamentations 3,37, Numbers 23:23. Luke 10:19. God has given us the gift of marriage and Satan can't take it away. Thank you Lord. Thank you for Sister Funke for such amazing video.
I am not yet 30 or over 30 but I started watching your channel a year ago. I WAS WORRIED I would never marry and was sure God choose singleness for me. But when I saw this I started to believe that God would let me have a husband. I got married last Nov and God does do it. He is an answerer of prayers. Thank you for encourging the saints
My dear your advice helped me alot... I'm 51 and I'm gonna turn 52 this year... I just got in a relationship and it is someone from my past, I'm a devorcey pls pray for me because I wanna be married.
Hi Qiniso, thank you for your comment.I know its not easy but don't give up. God is faithful and he keeps his promises. But we also have a part to play as we receive from God by faith. Start building your faith for marriage. You do this by reading and meditating on the word of God. Find scriptures in the bible that talk about marriage and meditate on these daily. Even meditating on one scripture a day can make a big diffirence to your faith and encourage you. Please watch some of my other videos for Christian singles (you can go to the playlist) as you may find them helpful. God bless & take care
I desperately needed to hear this, will be turning 31 in a few months and I have been having a roller coaster of emotions. Thank you for this message cos it gave me some peace and quite. Praying the Holy Spirit strengthens me.
UA-cam recommended this. I fell off the chair when sis said she had been married 13 years... I thought you were 35 now. You look so young and gracefully beautiful
Amen. Amazing sharing. Thank you for doing this video. I turn 45 next month and am still single, since the break up from an unhealthy and ungodly relationship. I'm glad I made the decision to leave. Still single and waiting patiently for a man who is after God'd own heart. I am a born again Christian and I like the idea of praying and fasting once a week specifically for a prayer request. Thank you.
I also was told a word saying God would have someone for me in the next five years. I understood that I had to wait five years. But one lady told me that God does not work in our time. Amen! So now I don’t think of a timeline I expect it anytime he knows I’m ready to receive it.
What's the hardest for me is seeing two seemingly perfect people put in each other's paths and they get married without having longed, prayed for, felt the sting of loneliness... God just gives them an amazing spouse while the rest of us are in our late 30's, lonely, but following God and believing for a mate and we just continue to wait. Ugggh
Yes, this is difficult for sure. It is very easy to look around and witness other people who seemingly stumble their way into amazing blessings with little, if any, effort, sacrifice, pain, endurance, or faith. Or even in another way, we can witness people who live apparently sinful, carnal lives prior to their salvation but who are then blessed with a spouse very quickly after God saves them. I have known people who were addicted to drugs, who lived lives of constant sexual excess, who slept with prostitutes, who were "born again virgins" and who brought, as believers, porn addictions into their new marriages .... all married at early ages and blessed by God. Meanwhile, there are lonely, struggling, enduring single people in their late 30's and 40's who have prayed for a longed for a God-blessed marriage partner for decades, who have struggled and fought against sin, who have remained virgins in obedience to the Lord, and who have grown in spiritual maturity but who, for whatever the Lord's reason, have remained painfully single. Does this seem fair? Does it seem right? Well ... through our human wisdom and carnal eyes, it does not. Yet God's ways are not our ways. Our wisdom is not His wisdom. He is Lord over our pain just as much as over our joy. He is our Lord in the dark just as much as in the light. He was the God of Joseph when Joseph was in prison just as much as when Joseph ruled Egypt. And indeed, Christ is as much our King while on the cross as when on the throne of Heaven. The point is that God is sovereign over our lives and His will may indeed include pain and suffering. But He is still loving and will sustain us with His grace. I have seen this truth born out in my own life. I know a man whose parents arranged a marriage for him in India. He showed up to his "wedding," was simply "given" his wife, and proceeded to horrifically beat her and knock some of her teeth out on their "wedding night" because she was too scared to be intimate with him, a man she literally just met that day. Over the next 12 years, he abused, raped, and treated her like a slave until, by God's will, she and I met and I was able to get her some real help from the authorities. (Things are much better now, rest assured.) But I have often struggled with this so much because this wicked, evil, cowardly, pathetic excuse of a man was literally "given" a "wife" that he didn't even want while I remain painfully single and have waited on the Lord for decades. Yet God's ways are not our ways. Our wisdom is not His wisdom. I know that if I had been married in my early 20's like I had dreamed of, I would not have been living where I was living, working where I working, and would have not been where God had me when He brought that woman into my life. Despite being painfully single for so many years, I was where the Lord wanted me. And because of that, I was able to meet her, form a loving friendship that has lasted 10 years, gain her trust and confidence, get her help and support to protection, and ultimately to share the Gospel with her. And the result? She is a saved, believing Christian who has shared the Gospel with her dying mother back in India, who is fighting the good fight of faith while facing persecution, and who is a light in the darkness for her family. My point is that it is very easy ... I know how easy ... to envy others or even to stare with stunned confusion while the wicked prosper and the righteous suffer from need and lack. But rest assured, friend. God is in control. That truth doesn't take away the pain, I know. I struggle with it daily ... hourly even. We can only endure in faith and trust in God's character and in His promises.
@@Arcanon10 Thank you for your words of affirmation. I'm so glad you were able to meet that woman and sew seeds of the gospel into her life which are now spreading to her unsaved family. I'm struggling with loneliness and abandonment issues at the moment and it's causing depression which I'm trying to pull myself out of. I know God has a purpose and plan for my life but sometimes the struggle to get there seems unbearable. Please pray for me.
@@beatrixbrennan1545 Hey :) I am sorry that you are struggling right now with such difficult afflictions as loneliness, depression, and abandonment. In this fallen world, we will often suffer because of the sin of others, assuredly. Things like loneliness and betrayal from those who should love and protect us can lead to so much pain and thus, despair. You do indeed have my prayers, friend. What you expressed regarding how difficult the path you are on is, despite knowing that God is sovereign, is very true. Having faith in God's providence gives us hope ... it does not take away the pain. Hope can help us endure the pain, but we must still endure it. And Christ, who is our example in all things, knows this very well. If anyone knew exactly God's plan and will for His life on earth, it was Christ. In John 6:38, Jesus said, *_“For I have come down from heaven, not to do My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me."_* Yet even knowing that He was doing the will of the Father, even knowing the joy and triumph that would follow the cross, even knowing that the Light of Life would be victorious over death ... Jesus still wept in the garden, did He not? He still said, *_"If it is possible, let this cup pass from Me. Yet not My will, but Yours be done."_* Knowing that our Lord is sovereign over our lives will not suddenly take away our pain. But it will help us endure it, in faith and hope. Charles Spurgeon wrote, *_“God is too good to be unkind and He is too wise to be mistaken. And when we cannot trace His hand, we must trust His heart.”_* This is a difficult truth, but an invaluable one. Take comfort in the truth that whatever you are feeling, suffering, and facing ... Jesus faced also. We have a Savior who wept as we weep, because He suffered in this fallen world just as we do. The comfort comes in that we know that He has also overcome the world. In John 16:33, Jesus said, *_“I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”_* When Jesus says "the world," He is talking about all the evil, all pain, all the suffering, all the tears, all the death, all the loneliness, all the abandonment, and all the depression that fill our lives. He is talking specifically about your situation, about mine, and about every one of His saints who are in His hand. Take heart, friend :)
@@Arcanon10 wow, thank you so much for your words of wisdom and of encouragement as I needed them greatly. I have been through so much and thought I finally found the man I was to marry, only to realize he was a liar and a cheat a year into it. Despite knowing the logic of why I can't be with him, my heart is broken nonetheless. Right after I discovered the truth about this man God put peace in my heart that all would turn out well in the end, but since then, that peace has disappeared and I'm battling with anxiety, depression and pride. I feel so broken. Thank you again for the amazing reply. I just need to turn myself off and give this over to God.
@@beatrixbrennan1545 Hey .... that is terrible and I know well how painful such a situation is. To go from loving someone in such a deep way as to desire marriage, only to have it end in such betrayal is indeed painful. You said that you understand why you can't be with him but nonetheless still feel the pain of that heartbreak. This is understandable, without question. Even though there is a blessing in the fact that this man's character was revealed before you gave yourself to him in marriage, you are still mourning the loss of the kind of man you believed him to be and the dream of what hoped your life would have been. That is hard and I am sorry. There is no easy way around that ... only through it by God's grace. It seems to me that this is one of those situations where the Lord protects us through painful circumstances. I know that seems like a paradox ... and indeed it is. Yet all of God's most foundational truths have a paradox at the heart of them. I mean ... is there anything more paradoxical than the cross? Death being defeated by dying? Sinners being saved by the death of a sinless sacrifice? It almost doesn't make sense to our human wisdom. In a similar way, the Lord lovingly broke your relationship off with that man in order to protect you. Yes ... you now find yourself in confusion, pain, suffering, and even despair. Is that what His direction and protection looks and feels like? Well .... yes, sometimes that is the case. For example, consider the story of Joseph. Joseph was sold into slavery by his brothers, lived as a slave for years, and was thrown into a prison cell and forgotten for years. No doubt, while in his prison cell, Joseph felt confused, angry, despairing, and sorrowful. But God was faithful and His providence eventually led to Joseph being exalted to a position of authority in Egypt. Then, the very family that sold him into slavery was saved from starvation because Joseph was in a position of authority. This, in turn, further established the people of Israel, which in turn eventually brought about the nation of Israel, which in turn gave us the lineage of kings that lead to Jesus Christ, who in turn saved us from death and sin as the Messiah. Can we draw a direct line of God's providence from the despair and sadness and confusion Joseph must have felt in his prison cell to this very conversation that we, as Christians who have been saved by God's amazing grace, are now having? YES. That is God's providence. So ... in your circumstance, as painful as it clearly is ... and I know very well how painful it is to mourn the loss of a life you thought you would have ... God is working His providence for your ultimate good and His glory. It may not feel like that ... pain never feels good. But that is the truth :)
Hi Tata, thanks for watching and for your comment. With God all things are possbile... so you might meet your soulmate here😊 . Regarding marriage; don't give up. Pray about it and keep building your faith and your trust in God by reading and meditating on the bible. The wonderful thing about God is that he never leaves his children without his support. He is always there to guide us and help us. Merry Xmas. God bless & take care
Watching this at 32..will be 33 in a few months and still waiting on God.....I strongly believe its gonna happen this year...from my mouth to Gods ear..Amen🙏❤
I’m 31 still single and don’t have kids. Most of my friends/batchmates are having kids already but not all of them are married. They are pressuring me to have atleast one kid even don’t have a father or not yet married just bcoz of being or having difficulties of getting pregnant when u reach these age. My god.. as if I can do all by myself of having responsibility rasing a child. I know my self better so I don’t rush. I never settle or lowering my standard just to be called taken or married or even just having a child on my own so I wont get alone in the future. I never feel scared of being alone, I more scared of being in to wrong relationship/worst person or not able to sustain my responsibility as a mother. I am willing to wait for what god really want for me rather than I want for my self.
I feel like the church sometimes super spiritualizes marriage. One thing that I noticed biblically speaking is that the men in the Bible chose their own wives. The only two who didn’t choose for themselves were Isaac and Hosea. I don’t know if this is you or not, if it isn’t then hopefully this might help another women but you can’t have faith and not put that faith to action. So, have you been saying you desire marriage and just sticking to your routine all the time. Like work, home, church? You may want to get out and live life and serve God whilst doing so. While you’re serving God, people will find interesting in you and when they come you must pray about it and use wisdom. However, you will need to make a choice. Faith is not expecting God to do everything and you just sit there. For example, people in the Bible who had faith that God would do something put their faith to action by fasting. For some God will choose their spouse like he did Isaac and Hosea but for majority, they have to make a wise choice. If you stay home all day but desire to meet someone face to face... how do you expect that to happen? If you’re surrounded daily by ungodly people but want to marry a godly man then how is that to happen. Yes you should have faith but faith needs to be accompanied with action. Like for example you can’t pray in faith to have children in your marriage but not have sexual intercourse. You see Peter stepped out of the boat in faith. Like you can’t just say I’m putting faith in God but not stepping out. Lastly, if you’re in a place where you’re just seeking God for a marriage but not for him... then your priorities are wrong. You should seek first the kingdom and it’s righteousness then all things will be added to you and all of those things will be according to his will. I pray that you guys aren’t being spiritually abused by churches and pastors that use Christians desire for courtship and marriage for their own gain and teach you that you must do legalistic things in order to be married. Just live your life, go on vacation, fast and pray for intimacy with God, serve others, and allow God to work on your character. When the opportunity presents itself for courtship use wisdom before entering it and bring it to God. Also don’t ignore red flags. Imagine spending your whole life chasing marriage and children then Christ coming back and asking you how you’ve served and you realize all you did was “prepare to be a wife”. You need to be preparing to be Christ’s wife!!! I love you guys and wish you all the best!
My dear your comment should be put number one.! I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOUR OPINION!! this might be taken into account by ladies! Most ladies are full in churches because they want God to bring them men... Not because they are adoring him or seeking his kingdom first!! Other thing : come on ladies, be socially active and visible!!!
On my 26th birthday the first thing that came to mind when I woke up was “look at you! What are you doing with your life? You’re old, never been in a relationship and will probably never marry.” That honestly ruined my day and since May I’ve been worried about getting married. But I feel like I need a better relationship with the Lord. Would I marry someone like me? I want a God fearing man, but an I God fearing enough? Am I a true woman of the Lord? Also family friends have been saying that I haven’t “lived”. What they mean is that I’ve never slept with a man or had a boyfriend in general. To me that’s not living. I’ve met so many different people and cultures, and experienced so much. I consider that living than sleeping with a man just for the experience. Plus, knowing me, I think I would regret it because sex is for a married couple who trust each other. It’s not something to play around with.
I’m almost 28 and I was always SO sure I would be married by now. I am heartbroken that my life has not turned out even remotely close to how I’ve always wanted. I’ve had 3 boyfriends want to marry me and I chose to wait for better because I don’t want to settle. Sometimes the loneliness is so bad I almost wish I would have settled. But I keep forcing myself to keep the little bit of hope I have left. I don’t even want to imagine having to wait until after 30…..
Thanks for your video. I am encouraged by it. I am 45 soon, single, no children, never been married. But I have the desire, and I believe God gave it to me, so He will bring me people to select from. In the time being I am spending time with God, and becoming the woman He wants me to be. Only better for he who comes, and either way, I will be better for growing in Christ. Won't deny though, that sometimes I wonder... but I know God is able and He wouldn't give me the desire for waste. I thought I was getting married last year, but what an eye opener that was!! nursed a broken heart and that lead me to know more about what God says about marriage and being ready for marriage as well as what to look for in a spouse. I see His hand. I just have to keep the faith. and remember.. faith without works is dead. Encouraging you ladies to dive into God's embrace, and to Funke, be blessed. Thank you!
This video is just what I needed - randomly coming up on my suggested videos. I will be 32 next month, never married and no children, just left a relationship with a guy who is divorced with kids and was seeking marriage with me but I did not have peace of mind about marrying him, not because of his past but because of the things going on in his present. I am optimistic about my future in getting someone without children and never been married (however was a bit discouraged that I’m starting over) but this was some good Word for me!
I am in the same boat as you. Turning 32 in October, and am single with no kids. I want marriage, but I am not eager to date or marry anyone who has kids. No offense to him or his kids, but I want someone who will be able to experience the same excitement as me 🙏🏽
I am in the same boat, broke up with the guy was dating late last year...was a promising relationship but was not at peace at all. Indeed it's true what's said 'nothing is new under the sun' May God keep us keeping on in Christ Jesus 🙏🙏🙏
This is a really beautiful message which reassures women who have been hoping and praying that God makes all things beautiful in his own time if you believe.

I tap into your grace in Jesus name. Amen
This is so inspiring . Am 35 and one of my fears is that I may have diffi ulties conceiving when I do eventually get married
@@berrydoos i will tell you this, i was in a church that was fixing people up and i saw everybody getting married and i was asking God what about me. I didn't have family around me so i felt alone and like no one cared if i was married. I had seen a guy at the church that i thought was single and i asked my friend if he was with someone, which i found out he was so i felt like there was no one left for me. I live in a small town and am east African and i wanted to marry someone one from my country so the chances of me getting married i thought were slim to none. One day when i was driving home from church i asked God in my heart this question " how does a i meet a man without looking like am desperate or do i just wait?" I heard the holy spirit tell me about a passage in the bible how Isaac went to find his wife not the other way around. At this time God also told me to fast and pray and close all connections from other men meaning like old male friends that would call to say hello. I did that and two weeks or so later i met my husband and the first time i saw him i knew he would be my husband. I even told my very close friend that he would be my husband.
Hi Mahlet, how are u. I got inspired knowing u had ur baby at 38yrs old.I am 35yrs still single never been married, never had a child. But I am scared getting married late and having a child late. Pls how was the experience having a baby at 38yrs .I wuld love to hear from u mam.
I’m 35, never dated in my life, became a Christian during Covid. Now I’m a month away from getting married to a Christian man, the first man I ever dated. It’s amazing to know God does miracles like this.
This is amazing, can you share how you met?
I had been single all my life until 31, and am now proposing to my first and only girlfriend on Valentine’s Day. The wait was excruciating at times, but God surprised me the utmost with a gorgeous black Christian girl. I never expected a black wife as a white guy, but I am so happy with God’s provision. Once I go black, I won’t go back.
i would want to meet someone too..Im 34 and single..Ready to date
Congrats!
@@ekuaasabeamintah1183God will provide, keep your options open
That's amazing! I'm so happy for you
Does your bro want a black wife too?.. just asking 😂 lol.. I'm single and searching
I got married last week at 33. God is still awsome and gives his gift at the perfect time. I'm glad I waited on His own time for my crown.
Reading this at 33 years 😀 and am still trusting in God
Congratulations
Amen, God bless your union
God bless your union, congrats!

Marriage is not a trophy. Take your time to get the right person because one wrong person can cause a delay and one right person can increase you.
I see you Amara chidi well said💖
Great Comment! Thank you. God bless & Take care
Awesome message
The enemy is going to attack your blessing. He comes only to steal, kill and destroy your marriage no matter how wonderful it is. So when your world turns upside down, you might think YHWH God made a mistake and that maybe you made the wrong choice and didn't know this person well enough. But Father YHWH knows him and He knows you, and that no one is already perfect, and in order for you both to grow spiritually, you're both going to be chiseled by each other throughout your marriage. Marriage is not happily ever after, ever. It's an institution where you can grow and help your husband to grow and allow him and ultimately YHWH to grow you both up in His righteousness and Holiness. If Satan isn't trying to kill it, then it's not valuable. Expect turbulent times that challenge the both of you. And get into the eye of the storm where it is peaceful by trusting in YAHUAH YHWH our Elohim, who is our Salvation (Yahusha) Messiah. He is mighty to save and to battle for you. We do not fight against flesh and blood, but the powers of darkness in lofty (pride) places. Learn to forgive others, yourself, and allow Creator to forgive you so you can forgive that man you once saw as wonderful, now frustrating and whatever else. Show mercy and it will be shown by your heavenly Father. Sorry to get peachy here, but don't think you're not going to be challenged and refined like gold, because that is what marriage does and it's good. HalleluYah! (Always, always praise) Blessings to you all! 💖🕊️🙏 📖

I am getting married in 2021 and God is sending my husband
Amen
I'm claiming it
Amen 🙏🏽
Amen me too sis
Amen,I claim it too
I married in 2019 at 41 , God is able 🙏🏾
I am 43 single and God is NOT able. If he gets credit for doing he also needs to take credit for not doing. It is not always the will of God to do for others what he does for some. Every life is different.
Yes, He's able!!! God bless
Hi Miss S, thanks for your honest comment. I know it can be very frustarating and painful when we feel we have put our trust in God and he has done nothing. It isn't easy but we need to trust God when he says that he loves us and that he cares about every detail of our lives, even when things going on in our lives don't seem to line up with tha. The truth is God is still very much with us and he is still in control. Don't give up. Tell God how you feel . God bless & take care
I'm 45 and still waiting for God to send the right man. Just as long he loves God I don't have no problem 😀😀😀😀
@@misss7758 I have recently discovered one thing in life, i got born again to go to heaven not to get married, marriage is just a gift that God will give me at His will, much as i would wish to get a man after Gods own heart. if He doesn't still i call Him an able God.
I will be 38 this year, am not married, not even engaged, and truthfully I am not worried, at God's time,he will make all things perfect

Am turning 37 and am very hopeful
I turn 36 in less than 2 weeks. God brought me an amazing man at 35(Jan) and we got married a month before I turn 36 (Dec) and all this happened across continents in the middle of this Covid pandemic in under one year. I was concerned as well but things turned around for me when I focused on God and put my trust in him. This is to encourage ladies in their 30’s and above that God can and will settle you with your own husband.
I am 34 and turning 35 this September. I'm trusting God to bring a godly man in my life this year. Thanks for your testimony as it makes me realize it can happen to me.
Feeling encouraged....
Amen

Go look for your own man. Stop depending on somebody to just give you something
I got married at 34. I would have made a miserable marital mistake if I had not waited patiently on the Lord for His DIVINELY PREPARED, HEAVEN STANDARD HUSBAND for me. I Married my own husband.
Hi Jane, Thank you for sharing this! God bless & take care
Praise Him
I think as women, we have to know our purpose before trying to become wives. I got married at 30 and it was to the wrong man, because I rushed into it and felt desperate to be married at 30. The first priority for women should not be marriage, it should be seeking God and working on your weaknesses, which is much easier when you're single. Boaz cannot show up, while you're a mess
. Seek the most high!
I think everyone should seek to understand their purpose first then marriage should be a part of destiny fulfillment, that way we will live a fulfilled life
Many women get married at 20, 21, 22 without knowing their purpose in the sense you mean. Our purpose according to the Bible is to grow in righteousness and knowledge of God and to bear fruit. The modern idea of purpose isn't emphasized in the bible, it's a well meaning trend.
This is so true purpose is so important because you'll get married and still be lost maybe even resentful
So wisely said! An inspiration to me
Volume please
Ladies I have to be honest, I’m 42 not married nor do I have children. I want them both, been praying on it for over 15 yrs. My faith in in this area is up and down (just being honest).

@@dav8749 God is drawing me closer to Him and even though I do not like this singleness, I accept it as a gift from One who knows how best I’ll reach the purpose for my calling. Def learning things I would never have learned. I just say, “ I accept it Lord, be it unto me as You will.” His faithfulness remains.
I’m 36 and still in my season of singleness. I have recommitted to a relationship with God and having faith and trust in God. Open to receiving. In Jesus name. Amen!

The worse part of being unmarried is the constant taunts and remarks from people who just want to make fun of you and which really hurts a lot.
Hi Christina, thanks for your comment. I experienced some of this when i was single as well. The important thing to remember is that people's opinions of you don't affect God's blessing for you. Keep your focus on God and his promises. It is well. God bless & take care
@@funkechristian203 Thanks please pray for me.
Totally! They keep reminding you that you're not married and clock is ticking
That is what makes it worse as if we have forgotten it ourselves
Very relatable - it hurts so much.
I never understood why getting married is settling down until I got married at 36. Then I finally understood. My heart is now at peace and I'm content. When I was single, I would date the wrong people trying to look for my match then ended up in long term relationships that never got to the point of marriage then again single for a long time. It was exhausting and confidence shattering. It will really make anyone doubt and worry if it will ever happen thinking that my biological clock is ticking. But based on my experience, you just got to have faith. After years and years of being broken hearted, i just surrendered it to God then changed my belief that I'd rather wait than be in a wrong one. Then after a few years, I was blessed with my loving husband and son. It was worth the wait.
I can understand why single middle aged women would be worried if they’re still not married.. but TRUST ME you don’t want to be married just for the sake of being married. It’s so much better to be alone and happy rather than married (or in a relationship) and be unhappy. So many people are in unhappy or toxic relationships because they’re afraid to be alone. Don’t be with someone unless they are WORTHY of putting a ring on your finger 🙏🏼❤️
@little boots Oh I’m sorry 🥺 I hope that experience helped you learn your worth and gave you the ability to see things from a different perspective 🙏🏼 if he’s not making you and your life BETTER than it was before, he ain’t worth hanging around!!!
35 is considered middle aged?
@@j.c.s5006 I don’t consider 35 middle aged.. I meant that generally speaking as women get older and are still single
@little boots praying for you. Remember how valuable you are in God's eyes. That is how your partner should treat you - a princess.
Not only the ring but why are you guys getting married? If it's not for God's purpose then it's better to be single.
I'm 35 as well. Over 5 years single. I was truly feeling down. Listening to these videos are truly helping

@@PreciousLarapeters I see what you’re saying. I believe we should let go and trust the lord still. I mean he never leaves us right? So maybe when we get to over thinking things we leave him in that sense. I would love to talk to you some more if that’s cool with you.
Am 40 not married and not in a relationship, when I turned my thoughts into building my relationship with God and believing his word, the fulfilment I have received in Him amazes me.

Girl you’re not alone, I’m 30, never held a guys hands, gone on a date, been kissed. Talked to a lot of guys but they’re not the one.
I don’t even know anything about love. I’ve tried online dating, inner healing etc

Marriage can't fulfill you! Only God can! We shouldn't too obsessed with marriage
Hi Anh Mai, thank you for watching and for your comment. You are right, marriage can't fufill us only God can. There is nothing wrong with greatly desiring marriage (it is God's will for those who desire it) but it is God and not marriage that helps us live an abindant life. . God bless & take care
@@funkechristian203 Amen sis!!!!
Perhaps not, but its great to have a life partner
Marriage is a tool of God to fulfill his will in the earth and our joyful experience of it is a byproduct of our cooperation with God to fulfill his own will first. Oftentimes people go into marriage for their own enjoyment and the purposes of God is never touched upon so eventually satan will overcome them.
Kingdom marriage is coming together with the desire to fulfill God's purpose first.
I guess your view is yet to align with this.
Marriage without God is like the devil's playing ground
Do not be anxious for anything from God
I needed to hear this, i will be 33 in a month and yes im asking myself all sorts of questions if i will ever marry, have kids and be a happy wife, society is also making it difficult because at my age everyone asks when are you getting married and it frustrates me

I’m turning 33 tomorrow and I was chased by a guy the entire last year. He is nearly 20 years older than me, was already married and has 3 kids. I nearly felt for him because of the pressure that comes with being single. Instead I pressed more into God. I am praying to Him on a daily basis especially right now where things seem so difficult because we are so isolated. God bless you beautiful ladies out there. I’m rooting for you!
I am so glad you withstand your ground. He needs someone who was married and divorced like him with 5 children. But as for you, your man will come without baggage. Amen !
I'm turning 36yrs old and i told God to give me peace about being single, it used to worry me alot but I prayed to God and i received peace... What I can say no one can complete you but God, ladies we should not hurry to get married to feel complete but allow God to complete you...
Pray that you will not get bitter and make wrong choices,ask God to show you your purposes and fulfil them as you wait for the one in store for you...I'm peaceful and happy as i wait#no one can complete you, only God 🙏🙏
Am getting married this year and God is sending my husband very very soon

But i am so thankful that i got married according to God's plan and not mine. God sees our lives he knows who we will marry and the things he has called us to do...so he knows how to prepare us. Everyone's preparation will be diffirent. But we can rest assured that if we trust him we will be well prepared for the spouse and the life he has for us. It won't be you and your plant forever!

Dear I’m in the same situation let’s pray for each other
I’m so encouraged! I’m 33 now and when I was about 28 or so, I heard that voice say I would not be married until 35. I have been praying against it because the voice has been shifting the goal post. Sometime last year, I felt led to sow a seed in church and after that, God, in an unusual way, sent different people to assure me that my time of rejoicing has come. I believe that if God said it, He will do it! 🥳

Hi Hustle fanatic, thank you for watching and for your heartfelt comment. I'm sorry to hear about what you've been going through and that your mother passed away so recently. That must have been difficult. I know you must be feeling discouraged, BUT don't give up. God sees you, he sees your efforts with pilot training, he sees your desire for marriage and he sees your pain. Continue to lean on God, he will not fail you or forsake you. He is there to help you and comfort you. God desires marriage for us, so continue to trust him. I pray that:
(1) God will strengthen and comfort you through this period.
(2) God will bless all your efforts. Your pilot training will be successful, it will not be in vain. You will be thankful that you stuck at it.
I know that it can be hard to read the bible when you are going through tough times but try to read through 1 or 2 scriptures that have encouraged you in the past and think about them when you become discouraged. I have a video called read DEALING WITH FEAR & ANXIETY IN DIFFICULT TIMES here is the link: ua-cam.com/video/fiDfJ6hlVXg/v-deo.html. It will be helpful to you. God bless & take care
I'm 58 and I was married before but my ex husband divorced me. That was 10 years ago and it was a life saver. I would love to get married again if it's God's Will for me.
Maureen Brown, my advice is to remain single and enjoy the rest of your life as a single woman.
46 and single. Never married, no children. Sounds like I'm introducing myself in a singles anonymous meeting. I have prayed and have decided to actively engage. Joined eharmony which is like pulling teeth. Sigh
I am an introvert so loneliness is not the issue. I am independent financially and content on my own however I believe marriage will add a different dimension and depth and refine my character. I have watched married women and sometimes think I dodged a bullet there because heyyyy the suffering and heartache I see is beyond me as to why we still want this. But like childbirth, the pain is easily forgotten when things are good.
Volunteer at a men's fellowship and if you can't find one you start a faith & barbeque meeting for men in your city and get one or two senior male pastors to officiate the meeting... pray for spirit led topics...
Hi F W, thanks for watching and for your great comment. It's great that you see marriage as a gift/blessing not a solution. . I hope you are not put off marriage from some of your observations - the truth is we can't do marriage wthout God's grace & help. Thanks again. God bless & take care

Hi Morathi, thanks for watching and for the comment. I know its not easy waiting on God for marriage. It is well. Don't allow the discouragement to get you down. This season of singleness is such an important time in our lives because there are certain things that we can do while we are single that will make such a big diffirence to our lives, our marriages and our parenting. Use this time to prepare for marriage, to build your faith for marriage and to get to know who you are in Christ.

Another Christian woman that I worked with in ministry who attends the same church as me has been married for about 3-4 years. She's in her 40's as well, never married before and no kids. God is faithful. Like I said before, I have the desire to be married but it's not an idol in my life so I'm ok without it too.
@@penlavits3305 Right...my friend met her husband to be through one of our co workers...literally at work and the other person met her husband at church lol...not much going out there lol...also the 3 to 1 arguement doesn"t prevent God from working things out in our favor if He deems it that we should be married because not all women want to be married

I always look for the missing piece in my heart and I thought the missing piece is the love of my life but I'm wrong until last year of April when God touch my heart and reveal himself to me and I have that fire in my heart to know him more and I realized that He is the missing piece. I am blessed that after all the dilemma and doubts He still love me unconditionally. Today, my heart is at peace with Him and wait for his perfect time.

So I was fasting today, didn't go to church as an Adventist. I have had God reassure me many times I would get married when I was in my 30s. I'm in my 40s but not married yet. So,I was feeling discouraged one day wondering if I would get married and have a child at my age when the Holy Spirit asked me to read ROM 4. I was wowed when I read of Abraham and Sarah having a child even though they were biologically dead to have a child because they had faith in God.

Hi Qiniso, thank you for your comment.I know its not easy but don't give up. God is faithful and he keeps his promises. But we also have a part to play as we receive from God by faith.

Even meditating on one scripture a day can make a big diffirence to your faith and encourage you.

Hi Keep on praying rejoice, thank you for your lovely comment. God bless & take care
Amen. Amazing sharing. Thank you for doing this video. I turn 45 next month and am still single, since the break up from an unhealthy and ungodly relationship. I'm glad I made the decision to leave. Still single and waiting patiently for a man who is after God'd own heart.
I am a born again Christian and I like the idea of praying and fasting once a week specifically for a prayer request. Thank you.
I also was told a word saying God would have someone for me in the next five years. I understood that I had to wait five years. But one lady told me that God does not work in our time. Amen! So now I don’t think of a timeline I expect it anytime he knows I’m ready to receive it.
What's the hardest for me is seeing two seemingly perfect people put in each other's paths and they get married without having longed, prayed for, felt the sting of loneliness... God just gives them an amazing spouse while the rest of us are in our late 30's, lonely, but following God and believing for a mate and we just continue to wait. Ugggh
Yes, this is difficult for sure. It is very easy to look around and witness other people who seemingly stumble their way into amazing blessings with little, if any, effort, sacrifice, pain, endurance, or faith. Or even in another way, we can witness people who live apparently sinful, carnal lives prior to their salvation but who are then blessed with a spouse very quickly after God saves them. I have known people who were addicted to drugs, who lived lives of constant sexual excess, who slept with prostitutes, who were "born again virgins" and who brought, as believers, porn addictions into their new marriages .... all married at early ages and blessed by God. Meanwhile, there are lonely, struggling, enduring single people in their late 30's and 40's who have prayed for a longed for a God-blessed marriage partner for decades, who have struggled and fought against sin, who have remained virgins in obedience to the Lord, and who have grown in spiritual maturity but who, for whatever the Lord's reason, have remained painfully single.
Does this seem fair? Does it seem right? Well ... through our human wisdom and carnal eyes, it does not. Yet God's ways are not our ways. Our wisdom is not His wisdom. He is Lord over our pain just as much as over our joy. He is our Lord in the dark just as much as in the light. He was the God of Joseph when Joseph was in prison just as much as when Joseph ruled Egypt. And indeed, Christ is as much our King while on the cross as when on the throne of Heaven. The point is that God is sovereign over our lives and His will may indeed include pain and suffering. But He is still loving and will sustain us with His grace. I have seen this truth born out in my own life.
I know a man whose parents arranged a marriage for him in India. He showed up to his "wedding," was simply "given" his wife, and proceeded to horrifically beat her and knock some of her teeth out on their "wedding night" because she was too scared to be intimate with him, a man she literally just met that day. Over the next 12 years, he abused, raped, and treated her like a slave until, by God's will, she and I met and I was able to get her some real help from the authorities. (Things are much better now, rest assured.) But I have often struggled with this so much because this wicked, evil, cowardly, pathetic excuse of a man was literally "given" a "wife" that he didn't even want while I remain painfully single and have waited on the Lord for decades. Yet God's ways are not our ways. Our wisdom is not His wisdom. I know that if I had been married in my early 20's like I had dreamed of, I would not have been living where I was living, working where I working, and would have not been where God had me when He brought that woman into my life. Despite being painfully single for so many years, I was where the Lord wanted me. And because of that, I was able to meet her, form a loving friendship that has lasted 10 years, gain her trust and confidence, get her help and support to protection, and ultimately to share the Gospel with her. And the result? She is a saved, believing Christian who has shared the Gospel with her dying mother back in India, who is fighting the good fight of faith while facing persecution, and who is a light in the darkness for her family.
My point is that it is very easy ... I know how easy ... to envy others or even to stare with stunned confusion while the wicked prosper and the righteous suffer from need and lack. But rest assured, friend. God is in control. That truth doesn't take away the pain, I know. I struggle with it daily ... hourly even. We can only endure in faith and trust in God's character and in His promises.
@@Arcanon10 Thank you for your words of affirmation. I'm so glad you were able to meet that woman and sew seeds of the gospel into her life which are now spreading to her unsaved family. I'm struggling with loneliness and abandonment issues at the moment and it's causing depression which I'm trying to pull myself out of. I know God has a purpose and plan for my life but sometimes the struggle to get there seems unbearable. Please pray for me.
@@beatrixbrennan1545 Hey :)
I am sorry that you are struggling right now with such difficult afflictions as loneliness, depression, and abandonment. In this fallen world, we will often suffer because of the sin of others, assuredly. Things like loneliness and betrayal from those who should love and protect us can lead to so much pain and thus, despair. You do indeed have my prayers, friend.
What you expressed regarding how difficult the path you are on is, despite knowing that God is sovereign, is very true. Having faith in God's providence gives us hope ... it does not take away the pain. Hope can help us endure the pain, but we must still endure it. And Christ, who is our example in all things, knows this very well. If anyone knew exactly God's plan and will for His life on earth, it was Christ. In John 6:38, Jesus said, *_“For I have come down from heaven, not to do My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me."_* Yet even knowing that He was doing the will of the Father, even knowing the joy and triumph that would follow the cross, even knowing that the Light of Life would be victorious over death ... Jesus still wept in the garden, did He not? He still said, *_"If it is possible, let this cup pass from Me. Yet not My will, but Yours be done."_*
Knowing that our Lord is sovereign over our lives will not suddenly take away our pain. But it will help us endure it, in faith and hope. Charles Spurgeon wrote, *_“God is too good to be unkind and He is too wise to be mistaken. And when we cannot trace His hand, we must trust His heart.”_* This is a difficult truth, but an invaluable one. Take comfort in the truth that whatever you are feeling, suffering, and facing ... Jesus faced also. We have a Savior who wept as we weep, because He suffered in this fallen world just as we do. The comfort comes in that we know that He has also overcome the world. In John 16:33, Jesus said, *_“I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”_*
When Jesus says "the world," He is talking about all the evil, all pain, all the suffering, all the tears, all the death, all the loneliness, all the abandonment, and all the depression that fill our lives. He is talking specifically about your situation, about mine, and about every one of His saints who are in His hand. Take heart, friend :)
@@Arcanon10 wow, thank you so much for your words of wisdom and of encouragement as I needed them greatly. I have been through so much and thought I finally found the man I was to marry, only to realize he was a liar and a cheat a year into it. Despite knowing the logic of why I can't be with him, my heart is broken nonetheless. Right after I discovered the truth about this man God put peace in my heart that all would turn out well in the end, but since then, that peace has disappeared and I'm battling with anxiety, depression and pride. I feel so broken. Thank you again for the amazing reply. I just need to turn myself off and give this over to God.
@@beatrixbrennan1545
Hey .... that is terrible and I know well how painful such a situation is. To go from loving someone in such a deep way as to desire marriage, only to have it end in such betrayal is indeed painful. You said that you understand why you can't be with him but nonetheless still feel the pain of that heartbreak. This is understandable, without question. Even though there is a blessing in the fact that this man's character was revealed before you gave yourself to him in marriage, you are still mourning the loss of the kind of man you believed him to be and the dream of what hoped your life would have been. That is hard and I am sorry. There is no easy way around that ... only through it by God's grace.
It seems to me that this is one of those situations where the Lord protects us through painful circumstances. I know that seems like a paradox ... and indeed it is. Yet all of God's most foundational truths have a paradox at the heart of them. I mean ... is there anything more paradoxical than the cross? Death being defeated by dying? Sinners being saved by the death of a sinless sacrifice? It almost doesn't make sense to our human wisdom. In a similar way, the Lord lovingly broke your relationship off with that man in order to protect you. Yes ... you now find yourself in confusion, pain, suffering, and even despair. Is that what His direction and protection looks and feels like? Well .... yes, sometimes that is the case.
For example, consider the story of Joseph. Joseph was sold into slavery by his brothers, lived as a slave for years, and was thrown into a prison cell and forgotten for years. No doubt, while in his prison cell, Joseph felt confused, angry, despairing, and sorrowful. But God was faithful and His providence eventually led to Joseph being exalted to a position of authority in Egypt. Then, the very family that sold him into slavery was saved from starvation because Joseph was in a position of authority. This, in turn, further established the people of Israel, which in turn eventually brought about the nation of Israel, which in turn gave us the lineage of kings that lead to Jesus Christ, who in turn saved us from death and sin as the Messiah. Can we draw a direct line of God's providence from the despair and sadness and confusion Joseph must have felt in his prison cell to this very conversation that we, as Christians who have been saved by God's amazing grace, are now having? YES. That is God's providence.
So ... in your circumstance, as painful as it clearly is ... and I know very well how painful it is to mourn the loss of a life you thought you would have ... God is working His providence for your ultimate good and His glory. It may not feel like that ... pain never feels good. But that is the truth :)
I'm 45 and still single,that's life but I'm still hoping...maybe I can find my soulmate here 😊
Yes indeed
Hi Tata, thanks for watching and for your comment. With God all things are possbile... so you might meet your soulmate here😊 . Regarding marriage; don't give up. Pray about it and keep building your faith and your trust in God by reading and meditating on the bible. The wonderful thing about God is that he never leaves his children without his support. He is always there to guide us and help us. Merry Xmas. God bless & take care
@@funkechristian203 thank you so much

Watching this at 32..will be 33 in a few months and still waiting on God.....I strongly believe its gonna happen this year...from my mouth to Gods ear..Amen🙏❤
Who would "thumbs down" this? It's very solid advice
Hi K B, thank you for watching and for your supportive comment! God bless & take care
I’m 31 still single and don’t have kids. Most of my friends/batchmates are having kids already but not all of them are married. They are pressuring me to have atleast one kid even don’t have a father or not yet married just bcoz of being or having difficulties of getting pregnant when u reach these age. My god.. as if I can do all by myself of having responsibility rasing a child. I know my self better so I don’t rush. I never settle or lowering my standard just to be called taken or married or even just having a child on my own so I wont get alone in the future. I never feel scared of being alone, I more scared of being in to wrong relationship/worst person or not able to sustain my responsibility as a mother. I am willing to wait for what god really want for me rather than I want for my self.
I feel like the church sometimes super spiritualizes marriage. One thing that I noticed biblically speaking is that the men in the Bible chose their own wives. The only two who didn’t choose for themselves were Isaac and Hosea. I don’t know if this is you or not, if it isn’t then hopefully this might help another women but you can’t have faith and not put that faith to action. So, have you been saying you desire marriage and just sticking to your routine all the time. Like work, home, church? You may want to get out and live life and serve God whilst doing so. While you’re serving God, people will find interesting in you and when they come you must pray about it and use wisdom. However, you will need to make a choice. Faith is not expecting God to do everything and you just sit there. For example, people in the Bible who had faith that God would do something put their faith to action by fasting. For some God will choose their spouse like he did Isaac and Hosea but for majority, they have to make a wise choice. If you stay home all day but desire to meet someone face to face... how do you expect that to happen? If you’re surrounded daily by ungodly people but want to marry a godly man then how is that to happen. Yes you should have faith but faith needs to be accompanied with action. Like for example you can’t pray in faith to have children in your marriage but not have sexual intercourse. You see Peter stepped out of the boat in faith. Like you can’t just say I’m putting faith in God but not stepping out. Lastly, if you’re in a place where you’re just seeking God for a marriage but not for him... then your priorities are wrong. You should seek first the kingdom and it’s righteousness then all things will be added to you and all of those things will be according to his will. I pray that you guys aren’t being spiritually abused by churches and pastors that use Christians desire for courtship and marriage for their own gain and teach you that you must do legalistic things in order to be married. Just live your life, go on vacation, fast and pray for intimacy with God, serve others, and allow God to work on your character. When the opportunity presents itself for courtship use wisdom before entering it and bring it to God. Also don’t ignore red flags. Imagine spending your whole life chasing marriage and children then Christ coming back and asking you how you’ve served and you realize all you did was “prepare to be a wife”. You need to be preparing to be Christ’s wife!!! I love you guys and wish you all the best!
It was the ending for me 💖. Thank you
@@MatipaKombe glad I was able to help!!! Wish you the best in your courting life but most importantly in your life forever.
Wow! You really put a lot of things into perspective. Thank you!
My dear your comment should be put number one.! I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOUR OPINION!! this might be taken into account by ladies! Most ladies are full in churches because they want God to bring them men... Not because they are adoring him or seeking his kingdom first!!
Other thing : come on ladies, be socially active and visible!!!
I love your comment sis, it's convicts me.. Thank you, may the Lord God bless you
I am 28 and I AM getting married this year 2021, I will not give up my faith.
On my 26th birthday the first thing that came to mind when I woke up was “look at you! What are you doing with your life? You’re old, never been in a relationship and will probably never marry.” That honestly ruined my day and since May I’ve been worried about getting married. But I feel like I need a better relationship with the Lord. Would I marry someone like me? I want a God fearing man, but an I God fearing enough? Am I a true woman of the Lord?
Also family friends have been saying that I haven’t “lived”. What they mean is that I’ve never slept with a man or had a boyfriend in general. To me that’s not living. I’ve met so many different people and cultures, and experienced so much. I consider that living than sleeping with a man just for the experience. Plus, knowing me, I think I would regret it because sex is for a married couple who trust each other. It’s not something to play around with.
I am 31 and still waiting. You give me hope 🙏🏾
Hello
I’m almost 28 and I was always SO sure I would be married by now. I am heartbroken that my life has not turned out even remotely close to how I’ve always wanted. I’ve had 3 boyfriends want to marry me and I chose to wait for better because I don’t want to settle. Sometimes the loneliness is so bad I almost wish I would have settled. But I keep forcing myself to keep the little bit of hope I have left. I don’t even want to imagine having to wait until after 30…..
The test of our heart intensifies after 30
So true. I understand this.
Wauw loved this❤🔥right on time,I'm 32 and single....I know God will come through🙏
Hi Just Mo, thanks for watching and for your comment. I'm glad you found it helpful. Yes, God will come through. Merry Xmas. God bless & take care
Good to know :) i'm 22 and been single my entire life and I always wondered why I never had a boyfriend
Thanks for your video. I am encouraged by it. I am 45 soon, single, no children, never been married. But I have the desire, and I believe God gave it to me, so He will bring me people to select from. In the time being I am spending time with God, and becoming the woman He wants me to be. Only better for he who comes, and either way, I will be better for growing in Christ. Won't deny though, that sometimes I wonder... but I know God is able and He wouldn't give me the desire for waste. I thought I was getting married last year, but what an eye opener that was!! nursed a broken heart and that lead me to know more about what God says about marriage and being ready for marriage as well as what to look for in a spouse. I see His hand. I just have to keep the faith. and remember.. faith without works is dead. Encouraging you ladies to dive into God's embrace, and to Funke, be blessed. Thank you!
Hi Kamille, thanks for your wonderful comment. You are right....keep bilding your faith for marriage. God bless & take care
This video is just what I needed - randomly coming up on my suggested videos. I will be 32 next month, never married and no children, just left a relationship with a guy who is divorced with kids and was seeking marriage with me but I did not have peace of mind about marrying him, not because of his past but because of the things going on in his present. I am optimistic about my future in getting someone without children and never been married (however was a bit discouraged that I’m starting over) but this was some good Word for me!
Hi Patrice, thanks for your comment. I'm glad you found the video useful. Don't worry about starting over. God is faithful. God bless & take care
Try getting someone who was never married and has no children. Better for you.
I am in the same boat as you. Turning 32 in October, and am single with no kids. I want marriage, but I am not eager to date or marry anyone who has kids. No offense to him or his kids, but I want someone who will be able to experience the same excitement as me 🙏🏽
I am in the same boat, broke up with the guy was dating late last year...was a promising relationship but was not at peace at all. Indeed it's true what's said 'nothing is new under the sun'
May God keep us keeping on in Christ Jesus 🙏🙏🙏
@@ahabwemartha1833Amen to that 🙏🏽
I’m not worried if I don’t get married. I get to spend more time with God. I’m fine being single. Plus in heaven none will have a spouse.
