“Who Are You Parenting From—the Healed You or the Hurt You?”
Being a single parent can feel overwhelming, but you are never truly alone. God promises to be a father to the fatherless (Psalm 68:5) and to strengthen those who depend on Him. While the world may see single parenting as a disadvantage, God sees it as an opportunity to draw closer to Him, to trust in His provision, and to allow Him to be the covering over your home.
Every sacrifice, every late night, every tear—God sees it all. He will provide the strength, wisdom, and resources you need. Raising children in a single-parent household does not mean they are missing anything, because God fills the gaps. He equips you to be both nurturer and protector while teaching your children to rely on Him. Single parenting with God at the center transforms struggle into testimony and turns what the world calls broken into something whole. When you surrender your role as a parent to Him, you will see that He is not only sustaining you but guiding your children’s steps as well.
