The Love You Deserve: How to Value Yourself in DatingSýnishorn

Day 5: Trust God’s Timing

Waiting can be hard, especially when it feels like everyone around you is moving forward — getting engaged, married, or starting families. You might wonder, “God, when will it be my turn?” But He isn’t making you wait to punish you or test your endurance. Instead, He’s giving you the opportunity to trust Him, refine your heart, and prepare you for His best.

God’s timing is never late, even when it feels like it. Every season has a purpose, and this season of waiting is meant for something greater than just passing time. Maybe it’s a season to grow closer to Him, to strengthen your faith and identity in His love. Or perhaps He’s working behind the scenes to align your path with someone who will reflect the love He desires for you. It’s not about finding someone quickly. It’s about finding someone right.

Trusting His timing also means resisting the urge to settle. When we lean into impatience, we can overlook red flags or convince ourselves to accept less than God’s best simply because we want the waiting to end. But settling will never bring you the fullness of joy and peace that a God-written love story will. Instead, trust that He sees your heart, hears your prayers, and knows exactly what you need, even when you can’t see it yourself.

During this waiting period, focus on honoring your worth and growing into the person God created you to be. Delight in the unique gifts and purposes He’s placed within you. Spend time in prayer, develop your passions, and nurture relationships with family and friends. Your life isn’t on hold while you wait for love — it’s unfolding perfectly in the hands of the One who knows your every desire.

When the time is right, God will bring someone into your life who truly complements and cherishes you, and in that moment, you’ll understand why the wait was so worthwhile. God’s timing isn’t just about delivering a good match; it’s about shaping you into someone who can fully receive and give love in a way that reflects His heart. A love like that isn’t rushed or forced.

Today, release the need to control the timeline of your love story. Trust God to lead you, believing that His plans are not just good — they’re perfect. Pray for patience and faith, and remind yourself that you are worth the wait. The love you truly deserve is worth every moment spent trusting in Him.
