I can only speak from my personal experiences. I hated it at first. It seemed everyone was coupled and happy except me. I had love but not a "I want the best for you kind of love." It wasn't until Christ invited me into a personal relationship with HIM that I discovered love, contentment, maturity and what it meant to be a servant. I was self-focused and HE transformed me to be Christ-focused. It was a process and it was with tears. But over time, I discovered that although I had normal desires to date and eventually "remarry" I came to KNOW this God who created me on a more intimate level and REALIZED His best is better than my best. SO I hope in the waiting, you are serving the LORD and allowing the spiritual gifts He's given you to advance His Kingdom. May you meditate on Psalm 37::1-7 and allow HIS Son to shine through you and draw other to the LIGHT and Hope that we have. In Jesus' name, Amen! In reference to the anxiety, I hope that you have strong Christian friendships to pray with you and to challenge you in HIs Word. If not, start a bible study with likeminded people on Waiting on the Lord in the single season. There are tons of studies out there to feed your season of life. NOTHING will satisfy like being in the Word of God and allowing HIS truth to meet the places not yet filled. May YOU TRUST in the Lord and do good! Love in Christ, a big sister who cares!
