SINGLE PARENT
INTRODUCTION
Single parenting results from very many different reasons. It might be due to divorce, death of ones spouse or separation. Although the term "single-parent family" is a familiar one, upon careful examination, the precise definition of a single-parent family becomes less clear. Families are frequently (although not exclusively) identified on the basis of shared residential space and the presence of emotional bonds and support relationships among members. "Single parent" implies that a solo mother or father is responsible for the care of one or more children under the age of eighteen within such a family
WHO IS A SINGLE PARENT
Single-parent is a parent who cares for one or more children without the physical assistance of the other parent in the home. This happens for different reasons. It can be as a result of the death of either the man or the woman. There are also cases where unmarried persons can have children and thus become single parent.
LIFE OF A SINGLE PARENT.
The single parent had enjoyed a good relationship with the spouse befor death separated them. He/She now shoulders the responsibility that is meant for both the husband/wife as the case may be, alone. There is no one to share sexual love with.
He/She also suffers great loneliness naturally. He/She may also seam handicapped and sometimes because of his/her social needs the children are neglected. When compared to their peers from traditional two-parent homes, children raised in single-parent homes are at risk for a number of less desirable outcomes. Such outcomes include both lower academic performance and a higher incidence of behavioral problems.
God has provided succor for the single parent; therefore, any parent that is grounded in the word of God will not have problems for what you ever needed in life are wrapped up in the word, so go for the word.
Jesus said in mat 11:27 All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him.

so why don’t you go to Jesus for him to solve our problems. Single parents should look up to jesus who is the author and finisher of our faith .heb 12: 2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
The single parent should be stedfast in the lord and ensure that he joins a bible believing and teaching church in other to be part of Gods family and be provoked to doing the good work of God. Heb 10:23-25 says 23 Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;)
