As human beings, we all desire to love and be loved. However, when it comes to matters of the heart, we often struggle with trusting God's plan for our love life. We may have been hurt, disappointed, or confused in the past, and as a result, we may find it difficult to let go of control and surrender our love life to God.
Before you can trust God with your love life, you need to be honest with yourself and God about your fears, doubts, and insecurities. Are you afraid of being alone? Are you doubting God's love for you? Are you insecure about your worth and value? Whatever it is, bring it to God in prayer and ask Him to help you overcome it. Remember, God knows you better than you know yourself, and He loves you unconditionally.
2. Surrender your desires, plans, and expectations
One of the hardest things to do when it comes to trusting God with your love life is letting go of your desires, plans, and expectations. You may have a checklist of what you want in a partner, a timeline of when you want to get married, or a dream of how your love story should unfold. However, when you surrender your desires, plans, and expectations to God, you open yourself up to His perfect will, timing, and purpose. Trust that God's plans for you are good, pleasing, and perfect (Romans 12:2).
3. Seek God first and foremost
When you prioritize your relationship with God above your desire for a relationship, you will find peace, joy, and fulfillment in Him. Matthew 6:33 says, "But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well." When you seek God first, He will give you the desires of your heart (Psalm 37:4), and He will guide you on the path of righteousness (Proverbs 3:5-6).
4. Be patient and faithful
Trusting God with your love life requires patience and faithfulness. You may not see the results or answers you want right away, but you can trust that God is working behind the scenes for your good. Hebrews 11:1 says, "Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see." Keep praying, keep trusting, and keep obeying God's word, and you will reap a harvest of blessings in due time (Galatians 6:9).
Trusting God with your love life is not easy, but it is worth it. When you surrender your fears, desires, plans, and expectations to God, you open yourself up to His perfect will, timing, and purpose. You also deepen your faith, grow in character, and glorify God through your obedience and trust. Remember, God is faithful, loving, and trustworthy, and He wants the best for you. So, take a leap of faith, and trust God with your love life today.
