Bible Verses for Single Moms

Single motherhood is a journey filled with both immense love and significant challenges. Money worries make sleepless nights even longer, and the emotional demands of raising children are huge; no wonder single motherhood is overwhelming. But through it all, there is one unchanging source of strength, comfort, peace of mind, and guidance: the Word of God.

Moms want to be reminded from time to time, and so much reassurance is to be found in the Bible. Through His word, God speaks love, promises provision, and reminds single mothers of their worth with magnificent verses included. Whether you need encouragement, strength, or wisdom for parenting, the Scripture is bound to deliver some heavenly reassurance.

In this post, we dive into encouraging but comforting Bible verses for single moms experiencing the changing emotions of motherhood.

Finding Strength in God

“All things are possible through the strength bestowed upon me by Christ.” — Philippians 4:13

Philippians 4:13 mentions the ‘immense physical and emotional’ strength a single mother requires. You need to provide, you need to nurture, you need to guide your child, and let’s not forget that you have to do it all alone. But the good news? You don’t.

Bible Verses About Strength

• Isaiah 40:31: “They shall soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not be weary; and they shall walk and not faint.”
• Psalm 46:1: “God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.”
• Deuteronomy 31:6: “Be strong and courageous. Release Source: Now do not be afraid of them or terrified by them, for it is the Lord your God who goes with you. I will never leave you or forsake you.”

These verses of scripture remind single mothers their strength is in the Lord. On those days when you’re particularly challenged situation-wise, fatigued, and tapped out, trust His promises and allow Him to be your strength.

Overcoming Loneliness and Fear

“Do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God.” — Isaiah 41:10

Loneliness is one of the biggest battles of single motherhood. If you feel distanced from friends, unsupported by family, or weighed down by the lack of a partner, the sense of being alone can be overwhelming. But the presence of God is always with you.

Bible Verses for Comfort

• Joshua 1:9: “Haven’t I commanded you? Be strong and courageous. “Have I not commanded you? “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.”
• Psalm 34:18: “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those crushed in spirit.”
• Matthew 11:28: “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.”

These single mom scriptures give you peace during your moments of self-doubt and let you know that you are never really alone.

Trusting God for Provision

“And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:19

Many single moms worry about financial security—how she will pay bills, how she will take care of her children, and how to ensure that their lives are stable. The Bible reminds us that God is our provider, and He alone will meet all our needs.

Bible Verses About God’s Provision

• Matthew 6:31-33: “So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat? or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.”
• Psalm 37:25: “I was young, and now I am old, yet I have never seen the righteous forsaken or their children begging bread.”
• 2 Corinthians 9:8: “And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work.”

It is not easy to trust God during times of financial uncertainty, but God promises He will never leave His children, His true worshipers, without provision.

Raising Children in Faith

“Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old, he will not depart from it.” — Proverbs 22:6

As a single mother raising a child, there are many unique challenges in raising a child, let alone raising a child up with faith and values. Despite the challenges of single parenthood, the Bible provides wisdom on raising children in God’s love.

Bible Verses About Parenting

• Deuteronomy 6:6-7: “These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. “Impress upon your children.”
• Ephesians 6:4: “Fathers [and mothers], do not exasperate your children; instead, bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord.”
• Psalm 127:3: “Children are a heritage from the Lord, offspring a reward from him.”

Whether it is easy or hard, God sees how you are choosing to raise children of faith.

Finding Peace in God’s Plan

“For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” — Jeremiah 29:11

When life doesn’t go as planned, it’s easy to question, “What does God say about single mothers?” and wonder if things will ever get better. God’s plan is greater than any hardship you face.

Bible Verses About Trusting God’s Plan

• Romans 8:28: “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.”
• Proverbs 3:5-6: “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.”
• Isaiah 26:3: “You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you.”

No matter what you’ve been through, God’s purpose for you is not over. Trust in His divine plan.
