Finding True Peace in Singleness

This article is dedicated to those who are single and struggling with the waiting season.

As we move into the last quarter of the year, it’s a season of weddings almost every weekend, but you are not even engaged yet. You may be asking, “God when?” The waiting can be exhausting, and for some, even their patience feels worn out. But before you get overwhelmed, let me remind you of something essential: what you need most in this season is peace.

Now, peace is often misunderstood. It’s not about pretending everything is fine or avoiding challenges. It’s not passivity, indifference, or simply staying calm on the surface. True peace is much deeper.

There are 3 different types of peace I want to share with us this morning.

1. Emotional Peace
This is the inner stability that remains even when circumstances look uncertain. It’s that quiet assurance inside that helps you hold steady when life feels unbalanced.

2. Relational Peace
This kind of peace shows up in the way we interact with others. It prevents bitterness, jealousy, and lingering resentment, even toward those who may seem to be living the life we’re praying for.

If possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all. Romans 12:18 [ESV]

3. Spiritual Peace
This is the most important of all. It’s the peace that comes from being reconciled with God through Christ. It’s knowing you’re no longer under condemnation but are secure in God’s love. Without this, you’ll always feel a void, no matter your relationship status.

So why is peace so important for singles? Because it’s part of our inheritance as children of God.
