• Attracting people who aren’t emotionally ready
  
• Being misunderstood as “too serious” or “too intense”
  
• Feeling discouraged when others don’t date with the same intentionality
  
• Wrestling with loneliness while waiting for someone equally mature
  
• Guarding against pride or judgment when you’ve “done the work” and others haven’t

• Continuing to stay open and tender, even when it’s tempting to self-protect
  
• Trusting God’s timing when it feels slow or unseen
  
• Remaining humble and curious with people who are still in progress
  
• Letting go of control while still walking in discernment
  
• Guarding against discouragement or bitterness while you wait

God sees how faithfully you’ve stewarded your heart. He honors your obedience, your surrender, and your courage to keep showing up — even when it’s hard. You’re not behind. You’re not being overlooked. You are being prepared.

“Let us not grow weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.” — Galatians 6:9

The kind of love you're praying for is possible — and it’s worth the wait.
