What Does the Bible Say About Single Moms?
Yes, you can find it with the Lord Jesus through these Bible verses for single moms. The Lord is there to comfort you, and He promised never to leave you and forsake you.
Yes, he takes care of single moms, as shown by the example of Hagar, who became Abraham’s wife when Sarah couldn’t conceive. Eventually, Hagar was sent away from Abraham’s presence with her son Ishmael when Sarah gave birth to Isaac.
Hagar called God “the God who sees me”. So dear single mom, if you feel you’re alone, you are not because God sees you. God knows your hardships and sees your determination to provide the best for your children.
Psalm 68:5
Father of the fatherless and protector of widows is God in his holy habitation.
He knows what you are going through, and you can approach Him for prayers and petitions. He will listen to you and send his angels to help you. You only need to call out to Him in prayer and supplication.
Being a single mom, you may think that you need to serve as both mom and dad to your children, but you can share that burden with God because He promised that He would be the father of the fatherless.
Job 24:9
There are those who snatch the fatherless child from the breast, and they take a pledge against the poor.
Your children will actually have a better father! Imagine being the son of the most powerful being in the universe! Tell your children that they have a heavenly father to whom they can turn.
God also says He is the husband to the widow. So whether you are truly a widow or your husband decided to leave you, the good news is you are not alone. God is your husband. He will take care of you. He heals the broken-hearted and binds up their wounds.
Proverbs 22:6
Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it.
Do not worry about provision because God will meet all your needs according to the riches of His glory in Christ Jesus. Finances may be tight even as you work hard, but God promised He will take care of all your needs.
Do not worry about finances because God has your back. Of course, you still need to work but know that God will pave the way to open doors of advancement for you. He will promote you and advance your career, or He will make your business prosper so you can provide for your family.
Isaiah 54:5
For your Maker is your husband, the Lord of hosts is his name; and the Holy One of Israel is your Redeemer, the God of the whole earth he is called.
You will never need to worry because God knows all of your needs before you even pray to Him. He knows every single strand of your hair and every heartache you’ve felt. God sees you in your struggles, so stay strong that He will come through in His perfect time.
Many times you might feel like you are drowning but take heart that God knows this, and He promised that when you pass through the waters, He will be with you. And when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you.
Colossians 3:21
Fathers, do not provoke your children, lest they become discouraged.
He will not allow you to drown in your problems. He will protect you, He will rescue you, and He will lift you up.
So don’t be overwhelmed because the King of Kings is with you, embracing you with His outstretched hand. No problem will overtake you, and you can be victorious because our God is a conqueror.
Just wait on the Lord daily. He will renew your strength. You will mount on wings like eagles. You will run and not be weary. You will walk and not faint.
Philippians 4:6
Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.
Talk about being a strong woman!
You can truly do it all with the help of God. The good thing is, He’s only a prayer away. You can freely approach Him and ask Him for anything.
Let us pray.
God our Father in Heaven, we thank You for Your Word that brings light into our lives and helps us grow in wisdom and discernment. It guides us into straight and narrow paths and never leads us astray.
Comfort these single mothers Lord; carry their burdens and give them rest in Your presence.
Open doors of advancement for their careers or business and bless them with an overflowing abundance.
You are the father to the fatherless and the husband to the widow, so we pray that You take of these women just like You did Hagar and all the widows you provided for in the Bible. By Your grace, keep their barns full and even make them a channel of Your blessing.
Make their face and beauty shine in joy so that they can be a light to other women who don’t know You. Let them be a channel of Your love and blessing, and lift them up as a model for other mothers to emulate.
Be with them always, Lord and may Your Word always be light unto their feet and lamp unto their path, in Jesus’ name we pray. And God’s people said, “Amen!”.
