Being single can be freeing or frustrating - sometimes both. You might feel content today but lonely tomorrow. You may love your independence then hate it another time. These prayers are for anyone walking through singleness with open hands. You are never forgotten or less-than for being single. God sees you and walks with you. Let these prayers ground you in His love and in what He's doing right now.
God, I’ve been patient or at least I’ve tried to be. But I’m tired. Tired of wondering when it will be my turn. Tired of hoping. Remind me that my life isn’t on hold. Amen.
Waiting can feel like standing still while everyone else moves forward. But Isaiah 40:31 says those who wait on the Lord will renew their strength. This prayer helps shift the focus from what you’re waiting for to how God is shaping you in the waiting.
Lord, it hurts when I see others with what I want. Weddings. Families. “Plus ones.” I try to be happy for them, but it stings. Please hold that ache and remind me I’m not forgotten. Amen.
God isn’t blind to your heartache. Psalm 34:18 says He’s close to the brokenhearted. This prayer gives you permission to be honest about that pain while trusting that God’s love hasn’t skipped over you.
Thank You, God, for this season. I’m enjoying the space, the flexibility, the chance to focus on You. Sometimes people make me feel like something’s missing, but I don’t feel that way. Help me stay rooted in what You’re doing now. Amen.
Singleness isn’t just something to survive; it can be a gift. 1 Corinthians 7:32–34 shows that singleness offers a unique chance to serve God without distraction. This prayer celebrates that freedom and encourages gratitude in a season often overlooked.
God, it’s one of those nights. Quiet, but not peaceful. I feel the weight of being alone. Please meet me here. Fill this space with Your presence. Amen.
Loneliness doesn’t mean something’s wrong with you. Even Jesus sought connection and companionship. Psalm 25:16 says, “Turn to me and be gracious to me, for I am lonely and afflicted.” This prayer opens that ache to God, who promises to never leave you.
Lord, I know I’m loved by You. But sometimes I still ask, “Why not me?” What am I missing? What’s wrong with me? Help me see myself through Your eyes. Amen.
It’s natural to question your worth when things feel delayed or denied. But Psalm 139:14 reminds you that you’re fearfully and wonderfully made. This prayer speaks back to lies and insecurities with truth about your God-given value.
I know what it feels like to be single longer than expected. And I’ve seen how easily people treat singleness like a problem to fix. I wrote these prayers because I’ve heard the pressure, sat through the awkward conversations, and wrestled with the silence. And because I believe singleness isn’t a waiting room, it’s a full, sacred life. God is working in it. And you’re not alone.
God, some days I miss them. Other days, I just miss who I was before the hurt. Help me heal. Don’t let past wounds keep me from future joy. Amen.
Heartbreak leaves marks. But Psalm 147:3 says God heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds. This prayer asks Him to do exactly that, so you can walk forward whole, not guarded.
Lord, I long to be known deeply. To be chosen. Seen. Fought for. I know You do all of that for me, but I still desire it here too. Please fill that gap in healthy ways. Amen.
The desire for connection is holy, it’s part of how you were made. Genesis 2:18 reminds us that it’s not good for us to be alone. This prayer doesn’t shame the longing; it invites God into it and trusts Him to provide in meaningful ways.
God, I’m tempted to say yes just to end the waiting. But I know I want more than just “not being alone.” Help me remember what You’ve called me to. Give me strength to wait well. Amen.
Settling might quiet the loneliness temporarily, but it rarely brings peace. Ephesians 3:20 says God can do immeasurably more than we ask or imagine. This prayer helps you cling to hope instead of compromise.
Lord, I’m tired of the comments. The pressure. The questions. Being single isn’t a problem to solve. Help me carry myself with confidence, even when others don’t understand. Amen.
People mean well, but their words can still wound. This prayer draws strength from Galatians 1:10, which reminds us not to live for people’s approval. Your story doesn’t have to make sense to everyone; it just has to be faithful.
Father, help me trust Your timing, not just tolerate it. I don’t want to force something or fall into despair. Teach me to rest in Your pace. Amen.
Ecclesiastes 3:11 says God makes everything beautiful in its time. This final prayer centers your heart on divine timing, not out of fear, but with faith that God writes better stories than we do.
Being single doesn’t make you incomplete or lacking. You are already whole in Christ. The times you are single are not wasted. God is always working, inviting you into a deeper intimacy with Him. Let these prayers anchor you in the hard days, and let you celebrate in the good times. Singleness is a sacred space. You are not less because of it. You are not alone in it. He sees, loves, and chooses you.
