“A WOMAN THAT IS OK WITH BEING ALONE IS A POWERFUL WOMAN”

Rev. Dr. Roberta M. Heck, Chaplain

There is a quiet, sacred strength in a woman who has learned to stand alone, not in isolation, not in bitterness, but in confidence, divine identity, and purpose. To be okay with being alone does not mean she rejects companionship; it means she refuses to be defined or upheld by it. She draws her worth from God, not from the presence or absence of people.

One of the most powerful biblical truths that speaks to this is found in the Psalms: “God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: God shall help her, and that right early.” Psalm 46:5, KJV This passage paints a picture of a woman (and by extension, the soul of any believer) who is unshakable because her foundation isn’t other people, it’s God Himself. When a woman reaches the place where she stands strong in solitude, she mirrors this scripture. She becomes steady, confident, unmoved by changing opinions, shifting relationships, or temporary seasons of loneliness.

Her identity is rooted in God, not people. Many people fear solitude because they have tied their worth to external validation. But a woman who is okay being alone has learned that her value is God-given, God-defined, and God-protected. She rests in the truth that her life has purpose even if no one else is clapping.

Being in solitude sharpens your spiritual hearing. It’s in stillness, God speaks. In quiet places, He restores. In alone seasons, He builds. Jesus often withdrew to be alone, not because He was weak, but because He was powerful. Likewise, a woman who embraces solitude becomes spiritually attuned. She learns to recognize God’s voice above the noise of the world.

Being in solitude gives you peace of mind where you are not easily shaken. Scripture says, “She shall not be moved.” That’s the kind of woman who has done inner work with God. She has faced her fears, confronted her insecurities, and entrusted her future to Him. People may come or go, but her stability remains.

She has grown to realize that her confidence comes from divine companionship. She knows that God will never leave His daughters alone. Even in solitude, she is surrounded by His presence. This is why she is powerful, not because she has everything figured out, but because she has learned to fiercely rely on Him.

In today’s world, being alone is often viewed negatively, almost like a sign of inadequacy. Social media glorifies constant interaction, partnership, and visibility. But God often does His greatest work is in seasons of set-apartness. Embrace those seasons of solitude as seasons of spiritual growth. See aloneness not as abandonment, but as alignment. Recognize th

at God strengthens us in hidden places before He elevates us in public spaces. Understand that power comes from intimacy with God, not from external relationships.

REMEMBER, that woman who is okay with being alone is powerful because she understands what many overlook: being alone with God is never being alone at all.

Heavenly Father, thank You for being the constant presence in our lives. Teach us to find strength in solitude and confidence in Your companionship. Help us embrace seasons where You call us to stand alone, knowing that You stand with us. Strengthen every woman who feels isolated, reminding her that You are in her midst and she shall not be moved. Fill our hearts with peace, courage, and unwavering trust in Your plan. Make us powerful through Your presence and unshakable through Your promises. In Jesus’ name we pray, Amen and To God Be The Glory!

With love and prayers,
