Have you made your New Year’s resolutions yet? —You know, that yearly ritual where we promise to eat fewer carbs, exercise more, and suddenly become a morning persona? For Christian singles, however, the new year is more than a chance to start fresh; it’s an opportunity to realign our lives with God’s purpose, grow spiritually, and maybe, just maybe, find the humor in navigating singlehood in 2025.
If you’re a Christian single wondering how to make 2025 your best year yet, you’re in the right place. Let’s explore some resolutions designed to help you thrive—with a generous helping of laughter and faith along the way.
Top New Year’s Resolutions for Christian Singles
1. Prioritize Your Relationship with God
Let’s face it: sometimes we treat God like a spiritual ATM—only going to Him when we need something. This year, let’s flip the script. Make your relationship with God your number one priority.
Resolution Goal: Spend daily time in prayer and Bible reading, even if it means giving up a few minutes of scrolling Instagram or binge-watching that one show everyone is talking about. (We all know it’s not as important as your quiet time with the Lord.)
? Humorous Tip: Set your Bible app notifications to the loudest, most obnoxious sound possible. Nothing says “time to pray” like a digital trumpet blast at 7 a.m.
2. Learn to Embrace Your Singleness
Being single isn’t a curse. It’s a gift—one that comes with the perks of eating an entire pizza by yourself without judgment. (Hey, sharing is great, but so is extra cheese.) This year, embrace your singleness as an opportunity to grow, explore, and serve God in ways that might not be possible in other seasons of life.
Resolution Goal: Shift your perspective. Instead of focusing on what you don’t have, thank God for what you do—freedom, time, and the ability to binge-watch Hallmark movies without anyone rolling their eyes.
? Humorous Tip: Whenever someone asks, “So, when are you getting married?” just smile and say, “I’m currently dating Jesus. It’s going great.”
3. Commit to Healthy Boundaries
Let’s be real—2024 might have been the year of overcommitting. Between small group meetings, work deadlines, and trying to keep up with everyone’s holiday drama, your schedule probably looked like a game of Tetris gone wrong. In 2025, let’s set some boundaries.
Resolution Goal: Learn to say “no” with grace. Whether it’s to toxic relationships, overscheduling, or that one friend who always needs a last-minute favor, practice guarding your time and energy.
? Humorous Tip: If saying “no” feels too harsh, try this: “Let me pray about it and get back to you.” (Just don’t use it as a loophole to ghost people.)
4. Serve in Your Community
Want to make 2025 memorable? Start serving. There’s nothing like stepping outside of your own struggles to help someone else. Plus, who knows? You might meet other singles who share your passion for ministry. (A mission trip meet-cute, anyone?)
Resolution Goal: Volunteer at your church, a local shelter, or even start a Bible study for your neighborhood. Serving is a great way to live out your faith and build meaningful connections.
? Humorous Tip: If someone says, “Wow, you’re so selfless,” feel free to reply, “I try. But honestly, I came for the free coffee.”
5. Get Intentional About Dating
If you’re ready to date in 2025, do it with purpose. This doesn’t mean you need to write “Looking for a Proverbs 31 woman/man” in your dating profile (please don’t). It means being clear about your values, praying for guidance, and steering clear of situationships.
Resolution Goal: Start with prayer. Ask God to lead you to someone who shares your faith and values, and don’t settle for anything less. Remember, you’re worth more than a late-night “U up?” text.
? Humorous Tip: If a date says, “I’m spiritual but not religious,” run. And maybe send them a Bible verse on the way out.
6. Invest in Christian Friendships
Newsflash: Your friends are your secret weapon in singlehood. They’re the ones who will pray with you, laugh with you, and remind you that no, texting your ex is not a good idea. In 2025, make it a point to build and nurture those relationships.
Resolution Goal: Schedule regular coffee dates, game nights, or Bible studies with your Christian crew. Iron sharpens iron, after all.
? Humorous Tip: If a friend gives you advice that’s clearly not biblical, hit them with, “Hmm, I don’t think that’s in Proverbs.”
7. Focus on Personal Growth
This is the year to become the best version of yourself—not because you’re waiting for “The One,” but because you want to honor the unique person God created you to be.
Resolution Goal: Pick a skill or hobby to develop. Maybe it’s learning a new language, running a 5K, or finally figuring out how to cook something other than ramen. Growth doesn’t have to be serious; it just has to be intentional.
? Humorous Tip: If all else fails, at least learn how to not burn toast. Baby steps.
8. Cultivate Gratitude
Nothing transforms your mindset like gratitude. Even when life feels like a series of unanswered prayers and awkward encounters, there’s always something to be thankful for.
Resolution Goal: Start a gratitude journal. Write down three things you’re thankful for every day, even if one of them is, “I found my other sock.”
? Humorous Tip: When someone asks, “What are you grateful for today?” reply with, “That I’m not still dating [insert ex’s name].” Too soon?
9. Take Care of Your Health
Your body is a temple, which means it deserves more than leftover Christmas cookies and endless Netflix marathons. (Yes, I’m talking to myself, too.) This year, commit to honoring God by taking care of your physical health.
Resolution Goal: Exercise regularly, eat healthier, and get enough sleep. And no, pacing your living room while looking for your phone doesn’t count as cardio.
? Humorous Tip: When you’re tempted to skip the gym, just remember: someday you’ll thank yourself when you’re running after kids or grandkids.
10. Pray Boldly
2025 is the year of bold prayers. Stop asking for “just enough” or “if it’s not too much trouble” blessings. God is capable of more than you can imagine, so don’t be afraid to pray big.
Resolution Goal: Write down your boldest prayers for the year, and watch how God moves. Whether it’s for a future spouse, career opportunities, or personal healing, trust that He hears you.
? Humorous Tip: If your prayer life feels stale, spice it up with a prayer walk. Bonus points if you walk past your crush’s house. (Kidding. Mostly.)
Final Thoughts: Laugh, Love, and Live Fully
Christian singlehood in 2025 doesn’t have to be a season of waiting; it can be a season of thriving. By focusing on your relationship with God, embracing your season, and living with intention, you’ll not only grow but also prepare your heart for whatever He has in store.
So here’s to 2025—a year of laughter, faith, and maybe even some surprises along the way. And if all else fails, there’s always pizza.
