Dear Heavenly Father, Thank You for blessing us during good times and bad. We are now in a season of shaking, but we know that You have not changed. Please continue to bless us during these trying times. You said in 2Chronicles 7:14(NLT), “Then if my people who are calledRead More →

How many of us go into relationships with our eyes wide open? Most single Christians would probably say they do, but even those of us that are spiritually mature and desire God’s Will for our lives, end up realizing that our eyes were not as wide open as we hadRead More →
Hosea 4:6 tells us that God’s people are destroyed because they lack knowledge. This can sound very harsh to an untrained ear, but it shouldn’t seem harsh at all. Society places a great deal of emphasis and priority on education, so much so that we put our little ones inRead More →

One of life’s most fundamental pieces of wisdom is that if you don’t know where you’re going, you’re not able to prepare for the destination. Every person that is living and that has ever lived is on a spiritual journey. Jesus Christ tells us in John 4:24 that God isRead More →

“I’m thirty-two, and I’m the only one in my group of girlfriends that’s still single.” This statement, or something like it, is one many of us have heard from at least one of our single friends. Now more than ever, we’re being told that loneliness is an epidemic, and someRead More →
Proverbs 18:21(NLT) tells us “The tongue can bring death or life; those who love to talk will reap the consequences.” In my opinion, the heft and impact of this truth is grossly overlooked, particularly by those of us desiring to partner in marriage. Like many of you, I’ve read andRead More →
Dear Heavenly Father, Through the Apostle Paul, in Hebrews 4:1(NLT), You tell us, “God’s promise of entering his rest still stands, so we ought to tremble with fear that some of you might fail to experience it.” Prior to this pandemic, the world was moving so fast that it didn’tRead More →
It really breaks my heart to see someone accept less than what they should in relationships. It has absolutely nothing to do with pride but everything to do with what God’s Word declares for His children. God blesses His Word in an undeniable way, and whenever we believe and trustRead More →

Psalms 34:8 (NLT) “Taste and see that the Lord is good. Oh, the joys of those who take refuge in him!” As single Christian women, we need to hang on to Psalm 34:8 with all that is within us. When it comes to getting involved with someone that seems compatible,Read More →
There are a ton of single women that desire marriage and believe in the accomplished work of Jesus Christ, but they don’t or won’t apply spiritual principles to their marital quest. They don’t believe God has specifically ordained someone to walk with them through the journey of life. They’re notRead More →
Dear Heavenly Father, In Old Testament times, Psalm 60:2 says that You allowed the earth to tremble and break, and only You can heal it. Today, in our time, the world is shaking, and many people are afraid. One of the laws of physics is that for every action inRead More →
Psalm 91:1(NLT) says “Those who live in the shelter of the Most High will find rest in the shadow of the Almighty.” We know that God is everywhere present, all-powerful, and all-knowing. There’s no crevice or cranny within all His creation that His shadow does not cover. This verse inRead More →
I’ve been praying for a wonderful sister that has been single for quite some time. She’s raised her children, has a great job, and has her own home. Her mantra is “I don’t need a man, but I’d like to have a good one.” I don’t know about you, butRead More →
Dear Heavenly Father, Many people that call themselves Christians are not really following Christ.

Proverbs 15: 31-32 (NLT) “31 If you listen to constructive criticism, you will be at home among the wise. 32 If you reject discipline, you only harm yourself; but if you listen to correction, you grow in understanding.” If I had only captured this scripture and understood the full breadthRead More →
It is said by many people that we live in a ‘me’ society where everyone is out for themselves.

None of us could have predicted such a time as what we’re facing, but it’s here. As with any challenge, this season is a reminder of how delicate and fragile life is. Circumstances and situations reveal that we are definitely not in control, and if there’s anyone that thought theyRead More →
Proverbs 16:9(NLT) “We can make our plans, but the Lord determines our steps.” When I was a little girl, my favorite place was my closet. I didn’t purposely choose it but happened upon the discovery when playing with my sister. She and I would play the game hide-and-go-seek, and oneRead More →
One of the most well-known Mosaic Laws in The Ten Commandments is Exodus 20:3(NKJV), “You shall have no other gods before Me.” Those of us who were students in Sunday School learned that Heavenly Father is a jealous God, and for most of us, this sufficed as the answer toRead More →
