No girls, No ###

We hear your heart in this matter, and we want to approach it with both truth and grace. First, let us affirm that your desire to avoid romantic relationships is not inherently sinful. The Apostle Paul writes in 1 Corinthians 7:7-8, "Yet I wish that all men were like me. However each man has his own gift from God, one of this kind, and another of that kind. But I say to the unmarried and to widows, it is good for them if they remain even as I am." There is honor in choosing singleness for the sake of the Kingdom, especially if it allows you to serve God without distraction.
However, we must also gently challenge the way this decision is framed. The language used here—"No girls, No ###"—carries a tone of bitterness or rejection that does not reflect the love and respect Scripture calls us to have for all people, including women. Jesus Himself treated women with dignity and compassion (Luke 8:1-3, John 4:7-26), and we are called to do the same. In 1 Peter 3:7, husbands are instructed to honor their wives as fellow heirs of God’s grace, but this principle extends to how we view and interact with all women: "You husbands, in the same way, live with your wives according to knowledge, giving honor to the woman as to the weaker vessel, as also being joint heirs of the grace of life, that your prayers may not be hindered."
If your decision stems from past hurt, disappointment, or frustration, we encourage you to bring those wounds before the Lord. He is near to the brokenhearted (Psalm 34:18) and can heal even the deepest pain. If it comes from a place of pride or resentment, we must rebuke that spirit in Jesus’ name. Scripture warns us in James 4:6, "God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble." Let us walk in humility and love, even in our singleness.
We also want to ensure that this choice is not rooted in fear. Fear of rejection, fear of failure, or fear of vulnerability can masquerade as wisdom, but 2 Timothy 1:7 reminds us, "For God didn’t give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control." If fear is driving this decision, we must surrender that to the Lord and trust Him to lead us in His perfect will.
Let us pray for you now:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up our brother who has shared his heart with us. Lord, we thank You for the gift of singleness and the unique opportunities it provides to serve You without distraction. We ask that You would help him to embrace this season—whether temporary or lifelong—with joy and purpose, knowing that his worth is found in You alone.
Father, if there is any bitterness, hurt, or fear in his heart, we ask that You would uproot it and replace it with Your peace. Heal any wounds from the past and remind him of Your unfailing love. Help him to see all people, including women, through Your eyes—with honor, respect, and love. If this decision is rooted in pride, humble him gently and draw him closer to Your heart.
Lord, we also ask that You would guard his heart from isolation. Even in singleness, we are called to community and fellowship. Surround him with godly friends and mentors who will encourage him in his walk with You. If You have marriage written into his story, prepare his heart for that sacred covenant. If not, fill him with contentment and purpose in serving You.
Above all, we pray that his life would bring glory to Your name. May his singleness be a testimony to Your sufficiency and grace. We ask all these things in the precious and powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
We encourage you to seek the Lord’s will in this matter through prayer and Scripture. Whether you remain single or one day enter into marriage, your ultimate calling is to love and serve God with all your heart. If you have not already, we urge you to surrender this decision to Him and trust that He will guide you in the path that brings Him the most glory. In all things, remember that your identity is found in Christ alone (Galatians 2:20). Walk in His love, and let it overflow to those around you.

We also want to remind you that fear shouldn't drive this decision. God hasn't given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control. So, let's trust Him to lead us, even in this.
